Read moreI’m not in the market for a new LCD but if one of mine happen to break…well I’m not ready to commit to 3D and the OLEDs are out of my price range so the Quattron looks like great LCD. For more information, in addition to the article, see Sharp’s "Sneak Peak". I was 31 floors up in Centre Point […]
Read moreThis is another hot topic, which will most likely garner some spirited discussion. Windows Home Server’s add-in support has been a blessing for many users, adding features which people found WHS to be lacking or simply enhancing existing features. However, most of the community add-ins have been free, but that tide seems to be changing and Microsoft itself seems to […]
Read moreInteresting though too early to get excited about anything. A little more than a week ago, The Wall Street Journal reported that Google and DISH Network had begun testing a set-top box that uses Google as a search algorithm. In a story published late Wednesday, The New York Timeswent a step further, claiming that a "Google TV" platform is in the works, from Intel, […]
Read moreEngadget has a good scoop on the FCC regulations about a deployable security gateway instead of CableCARD and their new mandates to cable companies about CableCARD enabled devices in the mean time.

There have even been discussions about […]
Read moreInteresting article and I am very interested to see how the router changes the HTPC place in an average home. Cisco’s CRS-3 router made a bit of a splash when it was announced on March 9, but the power of this new device hasn’t yet sunk in. Consider: The CRS-3, a network routing system, is able to stream every […]

I could be mistaken, but pretty sure I’m more excited about the SIX HDMI ports on this bad boy versus the 3D support. And like most Onkyo receivers, it’s quality product at a solid price ($600). Gizmodo All six HDMI 1.4 inputs are capable of passing 3D video, and upscale to 1080p if needed—with one of the inputs handily […]
Read moreNot that many big movies out this week. Armored has a fairly large cast of has-beens, and it was pretty painful to watch (seriously…it reaches the point of being ridiculous soon after it starts). Did You Hear About The Morgans is about as predictable as the trailer made it out to seem, but I’m sure Hugh Grant fans (are there […]
