How cool would this be? I don’t think it’s all that crazy given the gigabit powerline networking which has improved over the years, so there’s really no reason it couldn’t handle the bandwidth to stream all sorts of other video and content. I’ll wait and see a review before I invest in it though… SlashGear The device allows users to […]
Read moreRichard, from the PVR Team within Microsoft’s Media Center world has taken the time out to write a nice introduction to the technology behind the recording technology behind the upcoming operating system. Most of it will be rehash for most people, but for newcomers it should be a welcome introduction. TheGreenButton Conflicts happen when more shows have been requested to […]
Read moreHere’s a cool little summary of where we’ve come with Windows Media Center and then some must have additions and tools to improve the overall Media Center experience. It just goes to show that MCE is more flexible than most people would think, coming from Microsoft and being relatively locked down. Benchmark Reviews The proliferation of multimedia audio and video […]
Read moreA lot of movies coming out this week on Blu-ray, but not a lot in the form of must see’s. If you’re a Jack Black, maybe you’ll enjoy Year One more than I did.

Up to you if you think that’s a good or a bad thing, but apparently this does a good job of doing..it’s job. InsideHW One of the first features, that caught our […]

Having worked at Best Buy during it’s hay day, I can only be greatful of never having to lift one of these gigantic sets ever again 🙂 CrunchGear The […]

Pretty snazzy little remote from X10, which not suprisingly works wonderfully with wireless X10 home automation devices.

I love the internet. Where else would you find someone who had the thought to crack open his new HDTV and then start doing some soldering to bypass HDCP?!? Not clear what he’s going to do with this, but it’s a pretty interesting read nonetheless. SlashGear Opening up your brand new HDTV and soldering wires directly to its control […]
Read moreJoe Chauvin from the Microsoft team has released a handy dandy FAQ over at TheGreenButton which confirms our rumor yesterday. Essentially, this upcoming firmware from ATI will work perfectly with Vista with the exception of SDV support. Release date is going to be really close to the release of Windows 7’s October 22nd launch date. TheGreenButton Yes. Except for SDV […]
Read moreRemember how everyone said that the new ATI firmware would only work work with a Windows 7 network? Would Microsoft stoop to pushing Windows 7 upgrades. Personally, I think that would be unpossible myself.
