Gotta love a new technology like 3D, which lets manufacturers play around some with specs and offer lots of firsts…with lots of caveats. This one is particularly glaring considering just the overall lack of 3D content versus how many Blu-rays in 1080p you probably own. But still….less than $1k for 3D, not awful. The downside is that you’re looking at […]

First, let me start off with an apology. I’ve been burning the midnight oil but still have some tests left for Part II of my Ceton InfiniTV 4 review. It is getting there and if you do have any questions, please ask. With the delay in Part II and consequently Part III I wanted to share some hopefully helpful […]
Read moreThis is not all that surprising, but disappointing from an enthusiast’s perspective. That being said, I think Apple is doing what they have to to A) Hit a price point of $99, and B) Hit what the masses have…that being most don’t know or care about 1080p. I probably won’t be buying one though. Apparently the box won’t be capable […]
Read moreI’m not exactly clear on how this box is worth more than double of Patriot’s Box Office with similar features, but hey…the interface at least isn’t identical. I was concerned with the issues the reviewer had playing back Blu-ray filetypes. You can pick up the Fusion HD for an MSRP of $219, with a little bit of variation […]
Read moreSageTV sure is rolling out these betas at a fast pace lately. There are quite a few updates, but here are the changes to the core. I think John might be interested in #7. (No promises, though, John.) Core Updates 1. Fixed bug where we did not preserve the current title # when storing watched information for DVDs and BluRays. […]
Read moreHad some requests on changing things up a bit, so here’s an attempt at a new format for our Podcast roundup. Let me know what you think about it or if you prefer the older layout. I will feature one podcast per week and then list out the rest without summary. This week was an easy choice, as our very […]
Read moreBit of a slower week this time, but still some jewels here. Legend of Fong Sai Yuk is AWESOME if you are anything of a kung-fu fan, with a very young Jet Li showing off his stuff. Haven’t seen The Joneses yet, but as a fan of Californication it’s definitely on my to-do list. And then who can forget National […]
Read moreI’m not sure how I feel about header optimization when it’s a breaking change. Seems like the kind of thing that you don’t change the spec on mid stream, but maybe that’s just me. A few weeks ago I updated to the latest mkvtoolnix, which I believe is currently at v4.2.0. I unfortunately noticed a bad side effect of […]

Does anyone actually store their photos and videos on their actual Media Center PC’s? If you do, then relax, sit back, and check out one of the many other guides we have to offer! If you are like me and have been storing your media files on your Server or other location, then you have probably been looking at a […]
Read moreSome interesting stuff. Could CableCARD be having a come back? The much-maligned CableCARD era may be headed toward an inevitable end, but there are apparently enough business opportunities still left for yet another company to enter the market with a security module that’s tailored for the US market and competes with Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) and Cisco Systems Inc. […]
