Read moreBlu-ray Releases – January 24, 2011
Some decent Blu-rays out this week, nothing earth shattering but we’ve seen worse weeks. I swear I enjoyed the original Saw, but they are really running out of steam and I’m happy to hear this is the last chapter of the series, which feels like they’ve had a new one every 9 months for the last 8 years. I haven’t […]
Read moreCablevision’s Network DVR Debuts in the Bronx
Now this is interesting, only because we’ve been hearing about this for years from Cable Companies, and now it seems to finally be rolling out. I’m not sure if customers are for or against the idea of the Cable MSO storing all their recordings, have to figure privacy advocates are not fans, but from a hardware standpoint you figure they’re […]

Read moreNetflix Policy on Simultaneous Streaming Based on Account Plan

Read moreDune HD Smart D1 Media Player
In the past we’ve had some pretty good thoughts about Dune’s players, with Andrew really liking the BD Prime 3.0, but that was at a much higher price point. Don’t forget if you’re in the market for a Media Player to take a look at our Buyer’s Guide Comparison charts, which we’ll need to add this bad boy to it. […]
