Pretty cool app for Media Browser…if they could just support deleting, I could go back to using them. Alas, still very cool for this movie watching application. The app looks great, you can browse the media library and then set them to play on the Media Center box and the remote control feature has a very cool UI. […]
Read moreThis comes as no surprise to me, but I think there are still a lot of people who aren’t aware of the backers of these TV streaming websites. I don’t think this matters to most people, but moreso being able to obtain their shows in any matter or time that is really important. Ultimately, it’s the movie studios, TV […]
Read moreWhat surprises me most about this is the test pool is *only* 400. Considering the potential of this, you would figure they would expand it. Then again, this is only one pool, no word if it’s the only group of testers (doubt it). Bohnet, 25, who runs the marketing campaign for Google TV, is one of 400 Google employees […]

Read moreI’m going to file this one away in the "maybe someday" category of home theater kit, but well worth a read to see what feature will hopefully trickle down in the mainstream AVRs. While most people probably know NAD more for their CD players and integrated amplifiers, they have a whole line of home theater equipment, from receivers to […]
Read moreFair warning – if you’re tired of me beating the SMM for Sage V7 drum turn away now. Plucky just let me know that he’s been working with Jamiben (another SageTV developer who’s done some amazing work as well) on something called "Basic View" for SMM that will be in the next public beta release for SMM (hopefully next week […]
Read moreIT is a little big but if the touch-pad works well I could definitely see this as a good all-in-one keyboard mouse setup. This keyboard is an 88-key keyboard, which includes your typical keyboard keys as well as a few media specific keys. Of course it’s also wireless and even features a touch-pad. It even boasts that it is ready for Vista’s Media […]
Read moreOk…I didn’t see any comments or reaction to the new format for podcasts, so I’m going to go with the few that have spoken to me offline and stick with it. Please do let me know if you like this new format or prefer the old one. This week’s featured podcast is from Twit network’s Home Theater Geeks, who feature […]
