Here’s a look at the SageTV HD Theater from someone a little less experienced with Sage.  It sounds like it’s not all ease of use with the device.  I have not had my hands on one so I can’t comment directly.  And if you’re an experienced user, then maybe it’ll be a little smoother for you.   Also similar to […]

There are a few dates you could pick to call “the TV’s birthday” but this one is one of the more common ones. I personally will be celebrating with my 46″ LCD tonight along with a glass of wine (for me not the TV) and a time-shifted episode of “24.”   It’s January 26th and while most would notice that […]

Its pretty common knowledge that Microsoft works closely with custom installers when rolling out Media Center features. Entertainment 2.0 reports that CE Pros will have the chance to enter a private beta to give feedback direct to Microsoft.   "This is an entirely different program than the public Windows 7 beta," says a Microsoft spokesperson.

EngadgetHD seems pretty pleased with the THIEL SCS4 set of speakers. They can be yours for the small sum of $950 per speaker.

I think this is a mistake.  A few more months just means that the people who aren’t ready will have a few more months to procrastinate.  They won’t be any more ready by the new deadline.  To add to the confusion they are making this an option for brodcasters not a mandate.  So that means that you will have these […]

Looks like PP2 will be released later this year and WHS v2 is slated for 2010.  There’s some good information in the article, including their admitted struggle with how to correctly market WHS.   So far the only feature announced for Vail is support for Windows 7 Homegroups. Although you can back up a Windows 7 PC to a Home […]

How many of you think Blu-ray will succeed? I do because of this very reason. My inlaws, who are not tech savvy at all are considering a Blu-ray purchase so that can get high-def movies on a their new HDTV they are planning to buy. If that doesn’t scream mass adoption, I don’t know what does.   Let’s address this […]

A sneak peeak at Boxee for Windows, it looks very promising with Media Center remote support! One of the best things about the way Boxee handles online video is that every movie opens in full screen mode. You can tell that the developers have designed this application to use a full screen interface that will look as good on your […]

For those that want a pre-built WHS box, HP has an offering that you may want to look at.   For those who care most about benchmarks, we found that the EX487 is a serious step-up in speed and reliability, having used it for a full month before reviewing it.
