Yesterday was a big day in my household as I installed the long-awaited Ceton InfiniTV 4 CableCARD tuner into my HTPC (see mikinho’s review here).

Read moreAwesome round-up. It’s interesting to note, Monster Cables gets a lot of flack for their ridiculous prices, but at least they win this test. Then again, for an 80% savings the Monoprice is basically AS good. A good read for anyone needing to go super length. This, the least expensive cable sports the thickest gauge and is the second best […]

While not Home Theater exactly, you may entertain it. Engadget HD Podcast 226 […]
