For <$1000 you could be rocking a 1080p projector and watching a 100" screen. That’s just a drop in the bucket compared to the price of the larger LCD and plasma sets on the market. If I had a large enough room to arrange and accommodate a projector, I’d be seriously considering this one. Optoma has upped the bar with […]
Read moreWhile I understand the need, I sure didn’t see this one coming. Apparently, drive manufacturers have agreed to make a change to future hard drives, which Seagate’s David Burks has said he expects to result in a 10% performance drop for XP users. What worries me the most about this–and will concern many HTPC users–is the fact that Windows Home […]
Read moreI know we have quite a few very talented people here at Missing Remote, so I wanted to let everyone know about this feature from EH. Sadly, the majority of my TV room was done by my father or else I’d definitely enter (well, it’s also not completed yet). Given the range of theaters which EH generally showcases, it’s great […]

For those who feel the higher-end Harmony remotes are too expensive, but still want some of the features, Logitech has come to the rescue. With the Harmony 600 Remote, you’ll see the […]
Read moreI suppose it was fun while it lasted, right? Remember the media coverage for their "No more late fees" commercial? Sadly, Blockbuster is changing their policies on multiple fronts.

The dispute centers on whether Cablevision should start paying fees to carry WABC-TV as part of its basic package. The dispute has been festering for two years, the station said, and it’s […]
