The Popcorn Hour streamers have always been good solid entries into the market, and this new model looks to continue that trend. The Syabas folks are providing pictures and videos in their forum announcement of their new Flash-based user interface. It looks slick and […]

Android has been taking its sweet time infiltrating the media streamers of the world since it first cropped up as a topic of conversation at CES 2011 and it’s been awhile since I last saw a review of a new media streamer running Google’s OS. I have always liked the looks of DViCO’s TViX line of media streamers and this […]
Read moreFirst thing I thought when I saw this guy was “wow, that looks like a HD300” (then I was sad; SageTV RIP). Given the similarities, and how much the PCH platform has evolved (and stabilized) over the last year it seems like it should be a solid device.

Sony engineers must be wearing out the 3’s on their keyboards these days. They’ve got 3D TVs showing 3D Blu-ray movies in between bouts of 3D games played on the PlayStation 3, and now they even have 3D streaming thanks to the SMP-N200.

There’s a quick unboxing and setup posted of the Roku 2, with lots of pictures for those who prefer to skip the reading. I keep thinking about picking up a Roku or Boxee and cutting the cord (see news post below), but I think I’d be giving up too much. Then again, if cable channels keep cancelling the shows I […]

Could this be a viable competitor to the Sonos? I’m not so sure. I will absolutely give this company credit for two things. First, this is designed, manufactured, and hand-assembled in the U.S. Second, the case is actually made out of DuPont Corian. Yes, the same stuff they make countertops out of!
