Did anyone miss the memo about 2.5TB hard drives? Oh well, I suppose more is better. It’s funny how long we’ve been stuck at 2TB drives. If you’re in the market for one of these awesome new 3 terabyte drives, keep in mind they’ll require an add-on card it comes with to support booting off it (thanks legacy BIOS). Still […]

Codecs? File types? Oh my! If you have ever tried to watch a video you downloaded from the internet only to find it unable to be played (or maybe just audio but no video), then this is the guide for you! We’re going to try to do our best to cover most of the more common file types that are […]
Read moreAbsolutely weak selection of movies this week, so bear with me. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Resident Evil: Afterlife Have to be honest, I wasn’t a big fan of this 4th? 5th?

Read moreRemember the Kinect on Media Center video we posted a bit ago? Well not to be outdone, some other developers have made an open source software to allow you to use the same Kinect hardware with your PC to control the free XBMC and Boxee software. Called the KinEmote, it’s still more cool than functional, but given the amount of […]
Read moreI’ve used Silverstone HTPC cases in the past (the old LC-10M) and thought it was a great case for the price. Here’s the GD04 reviewed at Anandtech, where the reviewer finds some faults…and the commentors find some faults in the reviewer. Ah, good times. The GD04 is remarkably attractive if you’re into that minimalist look (I am); there’s a sister […]
Read moreI’m sure everyone just has the consumer’s interest in mind here, but who doesn’t enjoy $50 dates to the movies and would rather, *gasp* spend less money to watch it in the comfort of your home?

It’s somewhat humerous that it’s taken until 2010 for reports like this to finally be published by Nielsen. For years show ratings have been hurt by unaccounted DVR users. This isn’t the first report we’ve seen implying these numbers this year, but it’s a good sign that they’re continuing to show what we already know–using a DVR lets you watch […]

Today we have for review the QNAP NMP-1000P universal media player device. If this sounds and looks familiar, it’s because we have previously reviewed its predecessor, the QNAP NMP-1000 which was a very capable media player that could play a wealth of formats. Tim’s main points of argument were the cost and size of the player. While neither of those […]
