If this is true, and the prices continue to go down on players, then it’s really just a matter of time before it totally overtakes DVD players. Sure you can get a cheap DVD player for $30-50, but if you could get a Blu-ray player for little if any more than that, who wouldn’t? DMZ Considering that some off-brand players […]
Read moreUh-oh. I doubt this actually surprises anyone given the past 12 months with Hulu and the issues finally leading to their release of Hulu Desktop app. Now that they have lots of people using it, now they can convince those people to fork over some dough. Which isn’t a terrible idea, and might be worth it considering my comcast bill […]

Dave got his hands on the new GlideTV HTPC controller which was all the rage last week, and for good reason. It’s a pretty innovative concept, but coming in at $150 is tough to swallow, especially given the other controller options that are out there (the similarly priced Dinovo Mini is pretty darned good alread). I’d love to give it […]
Read moreThe News submission contest ended this past Sunday, and the entries were entered in a random drawing…and the winner of the ASUS AT3N7A-I Mini-ITX Motherboard is……*drumroll*….MEESTER.RIP! No surprise there, as the odds were *heavily* in his favor after submitting 9 submissions! So congratulations Meester!!!

Read moreI love the W7 interface. I assume the PS3 will be as good. Although the articles says you have to have a Netflix bluray access disc to use the service. That seems kinda hokey. I have found working with TV series to be a little odd but atleast I don’t have to break out the mouse and hit the internet […]
Read moreI need to check out the size of my current W7 installation. If it is under 30GB I might take a look at this drive once the price settles. My MyMovies library is a little sluggish when loading all the covers. I would think this would improve that. The drive’s performance was nothing short of amazing as we were […]
Read moreQNAP has launched a new rack mounted NAS that supports up to 8TB of capacity. Something I would love to add to my system, what with each Blu-ray gobbling up 30GB this would let you store roughly 250 HD movies with no compression or removal of special features. New 1U Rack-mounted Model Features up to 8TB Capacity, Energy Efficient […]
Read moreNothing that really sparks me is coming out this weekend, but the pick of the week is going to be a shoutout to all my fellow geek friends that got into this show. I’ve heard great things about it, just never got into it. Outside of that, the new Ice Age is out, and then that creepy Orphan horror/thriller. Pretty […]
Read moreI thought I’d share an update to my Mount Image add-in for MC7. It basically makes ISOs (and other support disc formats) visible to the native Movie Library and Video Library and will mount it for you either via "More" or via Play directly. If you hit play then you’ll temporarily see a video error screen as the disc image […]

When the announcement came that ATI would be releasing a new firmware for its cable card devices which would properly support the Copy Freely protections of shows, I got excited. For the past 2 years, I have been a dedicated cable card user within my Vista Media Center to enjoy high definition recordings via Comcast, even though it meant ditching […]
