As the AppleTV’s are being received around the country, there’s a number of reviews popping up on the internet. The consensus seems to be the same–good quality picture, slick UI interface, ridiculously limited as far as playback functionality goes. For now, I’d still much prefer a Roku box, but who knows what will be capable from this $99 box when […]

This is not all that surprising, but disappointing from an enthusiast’s perspective. That being said, I think Apple is doing what they have to to A) Hit a price point of $99, and B) Hit what the masses have…that being most don’t know or care about 1080p. I probably won’t be buying one though. Apparently the box won’t be capable […]

I’m not exactly clear on how this box is worth more than double of Patriot’s Box Office with similar features, but hey…the interface at least isn’t identical. I was concerned with the issues the reviewer had playing back Blu-ray filetypes.     You can pick up the Fusion HD for an MSRP of $219, with a little bit of variation […]

Our friend Brent over at Geektonic has an awesome review of the super sexy Sonos S5 digital sound system, covering all the ins and outs, and how it integrates with your home and even iPod. Looks super impressive, if only I had multiple rooms period, this thing would be well worth the investment so it seems.   Remember back when […]

2008 was a long time ago, but it’s good to see these types of devices finally actually being released. Although still not available, here’s a review of how it handles HD content. I have to admit, at an MSRP of $900 it’s a bit concerning this review, but I’d love to get my hands on it for something more in […]

Another extender review here, with some improvements on the original from WD, but still having some growing pains. Still it’s a nice small box that does a lot, and even Netflix now, for a pretty affordable price.   When I made the selection I was presented with the thumbnails for my movies, in duplicate. It seems the WD TV likes […]

Eh, the name doesn’t rub me either way, so it’ll work. Let’s see more demos now!   Logitech Revue does everything we’re known for and more. So it couldn’t just be the Harmony Box or Squeezebox TV or, even worse, the Logitech TV Hub (although believe me, we’ve discussed them all). The meaning of Revue is a type of multi-act […]

This video has been going around since yesterday and creating quite a buzz. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts on this.

I’ve not heard of Argosvy, and considering this box doesn’t support HD….well, it’s just odd. But anyhow, a review for your reading pleasure.   A small plastic scratch tape goes across the front and around the sides of the unit, as well as a large one across the top that is almost missable. The back is uncovered, and looking at […]

Can’t help but laughing when I read something like this from Mr. Jobs, but can’t argue with his success. Curious what this means for the upcoming AppleTV device…surely there has to be a twist with it’s plan on success, right? “The television industry fundamentally has a subsidized business model that gives everyone a set-top box, and that pretty much undermines […]
