Some decent Blu-rays out this week, nothing earth shattering but we’ve seen worse weeks. I swear I enjoyed the original Saw, but they are really running out of steam and I’m happy to hear this is the last chapter of the series, which feels like they’ve had a new one every 9 months for the last 8 years. I haven’t […]
Read moreNow this is interesting, only because we’ve been hearing about this for years from Cable Companies, and now it seems to finally be rolling out. I’m not sure if customers are for or against the idea of the Cable MSO storing all their recordings, have to figure privacy advocates are not fans, but from a hardware standpoint you figure they’re […]
Read moreVLC is one of the best universal file format players available for your HTPC. It’s not the prettiest in the world, but if you’re having trouble playing back a certain file you download…errr….found, then VLC can probably play it no questions asked. Lots of good updates for everyone, even Mac users, who knew? The VideoLAN team has today rolled out […]
Read moreI always wondered about this, basically since users could essentially share Netflix accounts to stream, but guess Netflix caught on and have since locked it down pretty tight, only allowing 2 streams at a time. Netflix is now limiting how many devices can be watched at one time on the Unlimited Watch Now plan. The originally had it where 4 […]

A couple of weeks ago, I posted a review of my experience with VUDU and mentioned that a new UI was coming. Well, today is the day that it has dropped to most connected devices.

Tons of bug fixes as well so make sure to read the release notes if you are encountering issues. We have released a new version of the Boxee Box firmware. Your Box will update automatically […]
Read moreIn the past we’ve had some pretty good thoughts about Dune’s players, with Andrew really liking the BD Prime 3.0, but that was at a much higher price point. Don’t forget if you’re in the market for a Media Player to take a look at our Buyer’s Guide Comparison charts, which we’ll need to add this bad boy to it. […]
Read moreIt’s no secret that Netflix would prefer that everyone stream their movies instead of get them on physical disc–the cost associated with maintaining their warehouses I’m sure is ridiculous. They mention that most people that use the DVD Queue do so online, and I have difficulty finding fault there. But still it’s an interesting development. Curious what’s next. We’re removing […]
