Looks like they’re continuing with that trend and are looking for feedback from everyone. Sad news is this will not be another $99 box, but not sure just how high […]

Now this is pretty cool. With Netflix coming to Vista (and now not being able to use it in Win7) I instantly fell in love with Watch Now and being able to easily catch up with Dexter or a long lost movie. But the problem has always been with the randomness of a new movie or old movie and when […]
