Now this is interesting, only because we’ve been hearing about this for years from Cable Companies, and now it seems to finally be rolling out. I’m not sure if customers are for or against the idea of the Cable MSO storing all their recordings, have to figure privacy advocates are not fans, but from a hardware standpoint you figure they’re […]
Read moreVLC is one of the best universal file format players available for your HTPC. It’s not the prettiest in the world, but if you’re having trouble playing back a certain file you download…errr….found, then VLC can probably play it no questions asked. Lots of good updates for everyone, even Mac users, who knew? The VideoLAN team has today rolled out […]
Read moreI always wondered about this, basically since users could essentially share Netflix accounts to stream, but guess Netflix caught on and have since locked it down pretty tight, only allowing 2 streams at a time. Netflix is now limiting how many devices can be watched at one time on the Unlimited Watch Now plan. The originally had it where 4 […]

Don’t forget if you’re in the market for a Media Player to take a look at our Buyer’s Guide Comparison charts, which we’ll need to add this bad boy to it. […]
Read moreIt’s no secret that Netflix would prefer that everyone stream their movies instead of get them on physical disc–the cost associated with maintaining their warehouses I’m sure is ridiculous. They mention that most people that use the DVD Queue do so online, and I have difficulty finding fault there. But still it’s an interesting development. Curious what’s next. We’re removing […]
Read moreXBMC is a fantastic HTPC application that is 100% free, and has some very impressive skins and features. No LiveTV functionality, but other than that it’s pretty powerful. Not the easiest to setup however, so here’s a guide from MaximumPC that tries to help. XBMC (originally designed as the Xbox Media Center for hacked Xboxes, but now mostly for HTPCs) […]

Another day, another new media player. This one has an interesting twist as its targeted at the European market and supports DVB-T television sources. Interesting idea, and the guys at WGS don’t have any major issues with it, but man their UI is not impressive at all. Eminent’s EM7095 USB Media Player DVB-T is the first media receiver we’ve reviewed […]
Read moreDoes 90+ minutes of watching Ryan Reynolds trapped in a box sound like a good time for you? If so, you are going to be ecstatic about Buried. Honestly, the movie was much better than I thought it would be, and Reynolds does a pretty good job of keeping it flowing. Paper Man was a pretty entertaining film as well, […]
