This is the type of report that you can interpret whichever way you are biased. If you’re Hulu, you can tout this report of how you’re taking over blah blah. I tend to side more with the thoughts of this analyst–in these times of recession, people are simply looking to cut costs, and who really needs 300 TV channels?   […]

Pretty cool app for Media Browser…if they could just support deleting, I could go back to using them. Alas, still very cool for this movie watching application.     The app looks great, you can browse the media library and then set them to play on the Media Center box and the remote control feature has a very cool UI. […]

This comes as no surprise to me, but I think there are still a lot of people who aren’t aware of the backers of these TV streaming websites. I don’t think this matters to most people, but moreso being able to obtain their shows in any matter or time that is really important.   Ultimately, it’s the movie studios, TV […]

What surprises me most about this is the test pool is *only* 400. Considering the potential of this, you would figure they would expand it. Then again, this is only one pool, no word if it’s the only group of testers (doubt it).   Bohnet, 25, who runs the marketing campaign for Google TV, is one of 400 Google employees […]

I wonder what the value add is for that $40.  Side-by-side and top-bottom 3D content already play just fine an HTPC (tested personally :)) you just need to tell the TV what kind of content it is.  The only thing that doesn’t work is 3D BD which requires an HDMI 1.4 driver – which I think is supposed to be […]

I’m not that familar with what the different types of PlayReady licenses mean, but it looks like SageTV now has a PlayReady Master Agreement Licensee.  With names like Netflix and SiliconDust also on the list hopefully it’s a precursor to good things to come. Thanks to cyberwolf for pointing this out.   PlayReady Master Agreement Licensees SageTV, LLC [Approved Microsoft® […]

I’m going to file this one away in the "maybe someday" category of home theater kit, but well worth a read to see what feature will hopefully trickle down in the mainstream AVRs.   While most people probably know NAD more for their CD players and integrated amplifiers, they have a whole line of home theater equipment, from receivers to […]

Fair warning – if you’re tired of me beating the SMM for Sage V7 drum turn away now.  Plucky just let me know that he’s been working with Jamiben (another SageTV developer who’s done some amazing work as well) on something called "Basic View" for SMM that will be in the next public beta release for SMM (hopefully next week […]

I like to see oml come back the people that started oml were on the right track but it’s been on pause for a while we always need alternative apps the thing i liked the most about this one was you could gave your input and ideas some of them came to reality i know its people spare time working […]

For those on the fence about extenders or stand-alone low power HTPCs the choice just got a lot easier with tuner sharing.   One of the features that the Ceton InfiniTV4 was poised to offer was tuner sharing.  This would allow you to have your InfiniTV4 in one HTPC and assign tuners to other HTPCs in your home.  Unfortunately CableLabs […]
