Movies are the pride of many a home theater PC user. While your friends may have a wall of movies, nobody can argue with the convenience of locally (or network) stored movies, being able to view information, filter and display them all within Media Center, and play them from a single remote without ever having to leave the sofa. It’s […]
Read moreSo much for consumers winning one against the big cable co’s. Switched digital is nothing but bad news, and shame on them being allowed to roll it out so soon before anyone was prepared for it. I know of a handful of Cable Card Media Center users who now have a useless box for TV since the adapters aren’t ready […]

Wow…just wow….I know how huge that sub-$100 price is to the blu-ray market and am surprised it has arrived so soon. Will be interesting to see how long this lasts, and also how it matches up to the rest. Format War Central Wal-Mart has just lowered the price on the Magnavox NB530MGX Blu-ray player.
