I’ll let the screenshot speak for itself, but seems like this would be pretty sweet for those DiSH customers. This image was just posted to Niveus’s facebook page, I’m betting it’s not based on Media Center, but I’d love to be proven wrong. We should see some more details of this project this week.

Read moreWow, guess our weekly Blu-ray releases list just gained a bunch of new asterisks huh?!?

Read moreBen Drawbaugh just published his review of the Ceton InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuner. Check it out if you haven’t already, some interesting stuff. We don’t review many HTPC tuners around here because honestly they usually aren’t that interesting; you plug them in and they either work or they don’t, what else is there to really say about ’em?

Read moreWhat say you? Are you a fan of 3D? I think it’s safe to say you either love it or hate it. I’m on the hate it bandwagon, and partly agree with what this gentleman is saying.

Read moreThis looks like a great extender for any HTPC Enthusiast. Question is will it be powerful enough to handle decoding of HD streams? The exterior looks beautiful with the bamboo, not sure it would match many entertainment centers. If all these tablet and smartbook shenanigans haven’t won you over, but you still feel the call of Tegra 2, Pegatron might have […]

I wub my Chrome but will definitely be trying IE9 preview. Check out the new capabilities of the next Internet Explorer, with the Internet Explorer 9 Platform Preview. Find demos of HTML5 and the hardware-accelerated performance with […]
Read moreWhile not exactly new news but PowerDVD 10 was released last week. The big additions are Blu-ray 3D support, improved HD Audio support, improved DVD upscaling via "TrueTheater™ HD Technology". I haven’t test this out yet myself but I will be tonight.
