Introducing TunerSalad! (aka I need more tuners…)

Tuner Salad

Introducing TunerSalad! (aka I need more tuners…) Now that the Ceton InfiniTV 4 has been released, are four CableCARD tuners just not enough? The My Channel Logos (MCL) Development Team has answered your prayers (well complaints). Before showing off how easy the MCL Development Team has made it, let me emphasize three things: TunerSalad is only for personal, non-commercial use. […]

Seasonic X-400 Fanless PSU

With the evolution of some power supplies being able to be near silent, I figured we would not see any new completely fanless PSU’s coming out. I was wrong. Seasonic follows the likes of Antec and FSP which discontinued theirs and has released a completely fanless PSU for your system. As always, make sure your system has adequate cooling for […]

Samsung Launches a 50″ 3D Plasma for Under $1,000

Gotta love a new technology like 3D, which lets manufacturers play around some with specs and offer lots of firsts…with lots of caveats. This one is particularly glaring considering just the overall lack of 3D content versus how many Blu-rays in 1080p you probably own. But still….less than $1k for 3D, not awful. The downside is that you’re looking at […]

Nixeus Fusion HD 1080p Media Player Review

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.

August 10th Blu-ray Releases

Bit of a slower week this time, but still some jewels here. Legend of Fong Sai Yuk is AWESOME if you are anything of a kung-fu fan, with a very young Jet Li showing off his stuff. Haven’t seen The Joneses yet, but as a fan of Californication it’s definitely on my to-do list. And then who can forget National […]

MKV Header Compression Issues

I’m not sure how I feel about header optimization when it’s a breaking change.  Seems like the kind of thing that you don’t change the spec on mid stream, but maybe that’s just me.    A few weeks ago I updated to the latest mkvtoolnix, which I believe is currently at v4.2.0. I unfortunately noticed a bad side effect of […]
