To help account for […]
Read moreWhile there is no good news for Andy Whitfield at the moment, there have been some developments on the recasting of his role. Personally, the single season I spent watching Spartcacus truly created a connection for me with the character and the man behind him. I wish Andy nothing but the best. Once again, I have to say that these […]
Read moreA report like this is great considering the battle the digital fans used to have to make with record companies losing so much money. While Comcast complains about losing 500,000 subscribers, numbers like these have to be encouraging to the television content providers themselves to see that this is a legitimately viable business option…assuming they come up with something better […]

Read moreSlow news day, so I figured this was as good a time as any to remind folks if you are planning on making a purchase you *may* want to wait until Black Friday (the day following Thanksgiving) for some special deals. Last year we saw a lot of online vendors competing with B&M (Brick and Mortar) so hopefully that trend […]
Read moreInteresting anaylsis given that most people defnitely think of the Xbox as a gaming machine. I know we have plenty of forum readers here who use their Xboxes as extenders, so I know we contribute to the 40%. Speaking to attendees of BMO Capital Markets Digital Entertainment Conference in New York, Dennis Durkin, corporate vice president and chief operating and […]
Read moreGreat news for HTPC software today as SageTV version 7.0 finally drops its beta tag and is released. And MythTV releases it’s 0.24 version as well. If you’re on the SageTV wagon, make sure you read our very own Andrew’s Guide to Installing SageTV V7. Super detailed and should save you some headaches during install. SageTV 7 brings a new […]
