CEPro spent their time with the newest HD DVD Vidabox Media Center in a video blog. If you can't be looking at video during work, they've added a pretty thorough slideshow for your convenience as well. While there have been talks about dual-format players from LG, Pioneer and Ricoh, none have materialized — until the Lux and Max Media Centers […]
Read moreVerizon isn't taking their time on competing with the big boys. They've added some key ingredients, most notably the NFL Network which even I don't have access to. Thank you Milpitas Comcast. So Verizon’s doing well in the sports department. But don’t think that cable operators are sitting idly by. Comcast, for example, has signed a deal for extensive VOD […]
Read moreI just had to post this as I'm still laughing about the title. Can't say I'm gonna go & get this over the Xbox 360 HD-DVD Player, but good to hear they're actually trying to fix some things. Toshiba's 2nd generation HD DVD players are available now. Why should you care? Because the first gen players had a Beyonce-level buttload […]

I tend to agree with them that the remote is pretty awesome on this, but $250 is a lot of money to spend on this. Slim Devices has similar price ranges for comparable products, but use a display on a device instead of the remote. But I like that they're thinking outside the box, and you can't tell me the […]

Would you spend $200 extra for a remote that can control your lights? That's the question Monster is hoping you'll say yes to. It's a slightly redesigned Harmony 890 remote, with some home automation (ok, just lights) thrown in. It's cool for sure, but are you gonna drop $600 on this? A brand new plasma (or LCD if that's your […]
Read moreSo I had to do the math, but 38,850 Yen comes to around $340. Not too shabby…but still more expensive than the Microsoft HD-DVD player, which can probably work on your PC as well as your 360. And you gotta install it in your case, and blah blah. But still, good to see some of these finally coming out. Not […]
Read moreGreat news for all you Mac or Linux users, the DRM for the TiVToGo has been cracked. So that's the good news, and there's even a tool for it. Now, the bad news, it's a command-line interface, so hope you've been practicing. But I wouldn't worry, this seems useful enough that almost certain a programmer will see the need & […]
