Another so-so week of releases, although a fair amount of TV series are out, such as one of my favorites–Weeds, Season 6–which although has diminished a bit it’s still quite entertaining. Get Low was a pretty good drama/comedy as well, about an old hermit who decides to have a funeral party while he’s still alive–good laughs with of course some […]

See, this is what I love about Media Center. A new cool hardware comes out that blows people’s socks off, and then developers get their passion back for it and start developing cool apps. This little guy is a simple one to let you see the status of your CableCARD tuners. The InfniTV Status Media Center plugin allows you to […]

If you’ve ever looked at potentially using a Mac as your HTPC, then you almost certainly have considered Plex, a gorgeous application based off of XBMC that has always strictly been for Mac OS. Well good news, as they now have a Windows available for your testing and enjoyment. With PC’s, there’s SO many frontends to choose from but Plex […]
Read moreNow here’s an interesting story pertaining to you CableCARD fans, as the AllVid Alliance includes some interesting members.

Read moreHave an iPad and frustrated by its inability to play certain files? Well so was our friend Damian who loves all sorts of video filetypes, so he jailbroke his wife’s iPad (now that’s love, huh) and threw XBMC on it. From the initial results, looks to be pretty sweet, although the interface clearly wasn’t designed for touch…yet. This is the […]
Read moreKeeping our tradition of trying to cover as much about media players and extenders (refer to our Buyer’s Guide, ahem), here’s a closer look at the WDTV Live Hub from fellow Media Center Connected Home MVP (i know that’s not the right title :-P) Barb Bowman, who seems genuinley impressed with the networking capabilities from WD. Enter the WD TV […]
Read moreThis is somewhat surprising if only because I think I underestimated just how many iPhone users are using their devices to stream movies. We all know the numbers for AppleTV are low, and I don’t think there are that many Mac users connected to their HDTVs…so that basically leaves the iPhone. Go figure. I agree with the post, that Amazon […]
Read moreI’m sorry if you enjoyed Paranormal Activity 2 and were expecting it to be our pick of the week given my propensity to select horror/suspense films, but I’ve now been bored in both of those films. I honestly intended to watch “I Spit On Your Grave” but didn’t get to it, but I’ve heard it’s quite the film, albeit disturbing. […]
