We’ve had great success with Intel’s H55 chipset, and I was surprised to read that this is Gigabyte’s FIRST venture into a Mini-ITX motherboard! Pretty shocking for such a huge motherboard manufacturer. GIGABYTE has grown a lot in the market lately. They mainly produce top-notch quality motherboards and GPUs, and they have even entered new areas as well. We couldn’t […]
Read moreSome really interesting stuff here Ben gathers from the recent meeting surrounding the evolution of Cable Card. It’s crazy to see all these big companies fighting for their own rights. Here’s to hoping that whatever wins out is best for the consumer and not the MSO only. To sum it up the consumer electronics companies make suggestions for an […]

Read moreLet it be known, I think the Hulu model was terrific and should have been sustainable via straight advertising without the need for the Plus cost, but hopefully it will mean even greater options of shows available. So far it’s been somewhat odd, as some shows on regular Hulu aren’t available on Plus. Kinks? Take one big screen TV, […]
Read moreHere I was thinking there wasn’t any good news today, and then found this beautiful case. It’s a smooth take off the old cube case many have used, and leverages the mini-ITX platform. If flash isn’t your style, well worth a look. As a mini-ITX case, there’s not much choice of motherboards to fill in the Array R2, but […]
Read moreThese types of articles are always intriguing to me, seeing how my tastes on what would make for a great demo compare to professional dealers. Not that they always know best, but I can’t disagree with any of their top 10 picks here. Still partial to The Fifth Element chapter 24, which offers excellent audio with the subtleties of the […]
Read morePretty cool report here and not all that surprising given some changes recently with Hulu along with the increased movie collection of Netflix. Plus the fact that most Netflix viewers will sit for entire movies and shows, where a lot of Hulu viewers use it for clips, and it makes sense. According to comScore, plain Web traffic in terms of […]
Read moreRemember when there would actually be more than one new release every week? It’s been a while, so I don’t blame you if you don’t either. Either way, there are some good older movies this week. Also of note, I can’t remember a week with this many titles that won’t be available initially through Netflix…just a notice. MissingRemote’s Pick of […]
Read moreVery detailed step by step instructions for using a digital tuning adapter within Media Center for those in need. Many cable operators around the country are reclaiming analog space (separate from the over the air digital transition). If you have a cable set top box, nothing should change. If you connect coax out of the wall to an old analog […]
