Well, it seems more and more stuff keeps getting added to the xbox 360 dashboard while the extender portion gets no love. Just announced at E3: Last.FM support. Seeing as how development on the only Last.FM plugin I know of for VMC died quite awhile ago, this is welcome news.   Microsoft and Last.FM are making sweet, sweet music on […]

Brent’s got some great information on the terms of service for the recently released Hulu Desktop application and what it might infer for the future. Apparantly as long as it’s for Personal Computers, you’re fine, but unfortunately that doesn’t leave much hope for extender users.   So I’ll take that to mean we won’t see Hulu officially supported by Extenders […]

Very nice, works with the MCE remote and takes about two seconds to add to the VMC/Win7 menu using the Media Center Launcher Configurator utility.  –Nino   [Hulu]  

This is a rather light review as it omits any reference to the noise factor of the author’s build.  The author did mention his disdain for the included imon software but not a whole lot else.  On the other hand there are lots of nice pictures of the case scattered around the article for folks to check out these pics […]

I know this has been available for ever from non MS plugins but now its available directly from Microsoft.  Been dying to post this since I heard it was coming.  Just had to wait for someone else to post it first.   For Windows Vista users, more than 12,000 movie titles and television episodes are now available to be streamed […]

It’s been a while since we’ve seen an Entertainment PC that offered a built-in audio amplifier (not sure why that never caught on?). In any case, Okoro Media Systems is announcing the availability of the OMS-AX100 that features the Intersil D2Audio 5-channel, 100 watt per channel audio amplifier so users can connect their home stereo speakers directly to the device. […]

Looks like it’s official now.  Linksys has confirmed that they have discontinued the Linksys DMA 2100 and DMA 2200 and have no plans to replace them with newer extenders.  So you better pick one up now if you want one and can find one.   For the past year you could pick up a Linksys DMA 2100 for super cheap […]

As engadgetHD says, it’s quite odd to hear Verizon is basically outsourcing their FIOS installations in a large number of areas.  Perhaps this is for antitrust protections?  Or, is this just outsourcing at it’s finest and is simply a way to cut costs?   This is uh….odd. We’ve gotten so used to FiOS TV creeping into new areas that we’ve […]

I have to admit, just when I start defending HP for having every valid reason for not offering certain things to older customers, they go and make everyone happy. Don’t you hate that!! 🙂   We have listened to the customer feedback on wegotserved.co.uk, mediasmartserver.net, mediasmarthome.com and other popular Windows Home Server blogs related to our recent software update availability. […]

This Hollywood blend of drama, design and innovation–including 7.1 CinemaScope theater, pop-up televisions, and multiple surround-sound areas–earns our eager nod as best Home of the Year.   Our Home of the Year sits among the Hollywood Hills, where the stars shine as brightly inside the homes as they do in the night sky. We’re familiar with some of the A-list […]
