If you have ever had problems playing a file format or getting subtitles to work, then most likely you eventually gave up and downloaded VLC. Here’s info on a new update for it. It’s not the prettiest player in the world, but it’s bloody powerful as there’s not much it can’t handle. The VideoLAN team has made available a new […]
Read moreI was just relaxing in my hotel in Dallas and remembered I had one final copy of Arcsoft’s Total Media Theatre 3 left at my house, so I wanted to try something a little different. So we’re going to be giving away the copy with entries only through Facebook! So head on over to Facebook.com/MissingRemote and enter. (Sorry to our […]

Sonos is not a new company, but as big an HTPC buff as I am whenever friends or families tell me all they want is to play music around the house, they’re the name I recommend.

In an unusual twist for a CE pro-oriented show, the security-related educational sessions (including the home health technology presentations) drew larger crowds than the […]
Read moreA lot of Blu-ray releases this week, but I didn’t see much stand out.

I’ve been a big fan of Revision3 for a while now, although the shortening of HDNation was a HUGE disappointment for me.

Read moreAfter the XBMC team quickly got working on the AppleTV2 box, I don’t think anyone is going to be surprised to see them running on even more embedded devices. The potential here is pretty sweet, so kudos to the team. This is beta though. From MeegoExperts
Read moreHaven’t had a chance to read this yet, but I know Aaron has one of these (right? Maybe it’s an LCD?). Samsung makes some very droolworthy sets though. The Samsung PN58C800 being reviewed today is Samsung’s premiere line of Plasma TV they currently have on the market. If you have around US$2500-$3000 burning a hole in your wallet for a […]
