So Ummm Where Is The News?
I apologize for the lack of news today. I would like to say it will be a one time deal but it likely won't. I am in the process of moving across country and will only have sporadic internet access. We won't be devoid of content during this time. We have a few articles upcoming and of course the guys […]
Read moreNetgear’s Answer to AppleTV Reviewed
4 out of 5 stars…for an extender which costs $400? Really? I'm skeptical, but like to see some competition coming out at the same time as AppleTV so people can see what they're really missing behind the Apple media hoopla. Laptop Mag Most videos, music, and photos played perfectly fine over our home network, even though the EVA8000 does not […]
Read moreSony Introduces 720p Projectors for About $1,000
A 720p Projector from Sony of all manufacturers, for less than $1000? I don't know much about projectors, but this seems pretty sweet, and then the ability for you to have as large a screen as possible. So use the $1000 price to convince the wife, and then hope she ignores the $20,000 it'll cost to build the rest of […]

I love seeing more & more of these beautiful screens coming out at an affordable price, but I gotta agree with the author, if you can you might as well just go ahead and spend the $70k on the 100" Plasma. Right?!? Electronic House The 58-inch TH-58PZ700U and 50-inch TH-50PZ700U models will be available in April at MSRPs of $4,799 […]

Not too long til you call your house HAL 😀 CE Pro EI has been working with manufacturers of home technologies-lighting controls, thermostats, security systems, and the like-to implement WSD into their products.

Typically USB HDTV receivers don't grab my attention these days, but with claims of 50 mile reception I tend to take notice. Due to ship on the 9th, Plextor's new device comes with a price tag of 99 dollars and will work with MCE. I will believe it when I see it I guess. I am not sure why it […]

Read morePlaceshifting…the heavy way
This is one of the oddest things I would have imagined seeing. In a cozy 26lb briefcase, you can enjoy DirecTV programming anywhere you go…assuming your arm doesn't fall off first. I thought this was a joke but it seems real afterall, since a dude at DBS Talk posts some pictures & provides the details DirecTV omits from their page. […]
Read moreReason to Stick with Cable Co’s DVR Boxes?
I can't decide if this is a reason why you should buy/build your own PVR/DVR, or a reason you shouldn't…So judge for yourself. Either way, Time Warner is probably in a bit of trouble, since at the very least, they manually moved a box with recordings from one home to another person's. Think of the legal ramifications!
