Roku just continues to add features to the box. We just saw the news of them receiving a couple more million dollars in investments, and now this announcement. It looks like they’re gaining some ground rather quickly, but I’m with Engadget on this one, if they could do a similar deal for NFL I would buy one in a heartbeat! […]

It seems like almost every extender (and even some TV’s) nowadays are including support for Netflix’s Watch Now streaming feature, which lets you stream a large collection of movies and tv series with your included membership. Keep in mind that the quality of the stream is far from HD, so I would advise you make the purchase decision based on […]

Now here’s a unique perspective on extender devices–this offering from Samsung connects your cell phone to your television, and allows you to play content wirelessly. Sound odd? You’re not alone, but my guess is Samsung has some phones they feel would be ideal. The video of it in action is pretty decent, but I’m still far from sold. Tech Ticker […]

In what has got to be the most requested feature for the super popular HD200 Extender device from the folks at SageTV, they have announced that they have a new beta firmware which will include support for USB wireless adapters. The speed they’re getting is pretty impressive and should not have any problems keeping up with HD content.   SageTV […]

It’s unclear to me how exactly this is tied into the Xbox360, but they did show the ZuneHD tile on the Xbox blades in the video. Here’s the video, but I’ll also post some pictures in case the […]

Now we’re talking! Let all these guys compete with each other on standard features, but let the geeks hack it and add whatever they want to it! Smart call if you’re the manufacturer…just look at how many routers Linksys has sold strictly because they allowed this type of activity.   eHomeUpgrade I’ve been hearing the quiet rumblings of people hacking […]

Digeo certainly is determined in their Moxi product line, and it’s good to see them continue to innovate. I’m ecstatic that they decided to include a standard EPG guide with this new update, as I never was a fan of their unconvential way of browsing TV. Also coming out is the Moxi Mate, and extender-like device which has some nice […]

An interesting little device for those of you with iPods, but very interesting why they would not include support for iPhones. Not a bad way to get your iPod content across to your entertainment center and fairly slick.    Engadget Obviously designed with the home entertainment crowd in mind, this guy features optical / coax digital output, composite a/v outs, […]

I think anything with a hard drive should be allowed to act as a asimple NAS, which is just what this extender device from Digital Cowboy’s allows. Hook up an external hard drive with all your content, and now it’s basically its own media Player instead of just extender…save money on that power bill!   Engadget HD The DC-MCNP1, which […]
