Samsung Edges Out TV Rivals
Samsung makes some beautiful TV sets which provide a quality image with an attractive display, at an affordable price. So it’s no surprise that they remain top dog here…although I’d imagine Vizio is nipping on their heels. WSJ Samsung’s TV manufacturing business has nearly doubled in size since 2006—the year it surpassed Sony Corp. to become the world’s biggest seller […]
Read moreHBO Go Brings Premium Content Streaming…for TV Subscribers Only
Pretty cool offering here from HBO, currently only for Comcast and Verizon Fios HBO subscribers, but still a great sign as companies continue to believe in the online digital world. I don’t even mind that you need an HBO subscription, since it’s a great and fast way for subscribers to catch up or be introduced to shows they maybe missed […]
Read moreSony Dash given ability to stream TVs and movies from Netflix, new lease on life
Pretty nifty little device, and the price is a good fit. Competition for the Chumby maybe? Or Chumbo? Whatever it’s called, I use my phone as an alarm clock. Engadget Today, Sony has given the doubters a reason to perk back up and pay attention, as the April-bound device will ship with the ability to stream Watch Instantly content from […]
Read moreSherwood’s internet-streaming R-904N NetBoxx receiver review
Interesting concept here…as an early gen not surprising there are some issues, but overall pretty cool. Engadget So as a receiver the Netboxx hits all the right marks, but the big news here is the ability to act as a networked media player thanks to VuNow. Sadly things wouldn’t go so well here. Connecting to the network was completely pain-free […]
Read moreRedbox Agrees to 28-Day Window for Warner Titles
I must say I am extremely disappointed with this announcement, but it’s not all that surprising after seeing reports of how difficult the studios were making it for Redbox to get them (see: Wal-mart limiting DVD purchases in bulk). Anyone else bothered that Blockbuster doesn’t have this restriction? Home Media Mag Warner and Redbox will implement the deal in March, […]
Read moreSony pulls plug on OLED TV in Japan
Didn’t I recently see an announcement of something like Toshiba planning on finally RELESING their OLED TV set? And hot after that Sony says they’re dropping it? I guess I’m disappointed but not really surprised given the absurd pricing that surrounded the buzz on the initial tiny models. But still if Sony is getting out of it and it’s a […]
Read moreSay Goodbye to Analog Ports on Blu-ray Players
I will defer to your guys opinions on this. While you have companies like ATI and Nvidia quickly (or already) dropping Component video from their graphics cards, there are still media players coming out with it. Are you sad to see it go or think it’s due time? CE Pro But that’s not the end of the story. After January […]
Read moreFebruary 16th Blu-ray Releases
Not a ton of new options this week. Law Abiding Citizen was pretty entertaining and clever, but there’s only so much of Jamie Foxx I can stand, and it pushed things. So, the pick was obvious for me. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week Goodfellas: 20th Anniversary One of the all time great mob movies of all times, Goodfellas featured […]
Read moreSony BDP-CX7000ES Blu-ray Disc Changer
So you say $1500 is too much for 100 blu-rays integrated with your HTPC? How about 400 discs for a mere $1900? This thing is absolutely massive so definitely would be more ideal for a closet or rack than for your living room, but still impressive. Now if only you could connect it to your HTPC. S&V Blu-ray players […]
