Even when they don’t have a lot to show off, it’s always nice to stop by and visit with SilconDust. Fortunately that wasn’t the case this CES, with several new and interesting things on offer. We will finally be seeing that six stream Digital Cable Tuner (DCT). It will retail for $199 and should arrive mid-year. The […]
Read moreWe haven’t paid for cable in a few years, but it would be hard to go without access to OTA TV. Personally, I’ve been using the SiliconDust DVR but obviously that’s not for everyone.
