Have you guys heard about this? Apparently over the weekend some users at TGB started complaining that their Linksys DMA Media Center Extenders pretty much stopped working. Ed’s still trying to get to the bottom of this, but it’s pretty bad press for Microsoft. The Green Button discussion thread contains what appears to be a reasonable, if slightly complicated workaround […]
Read moreWhile I heard some good things about this show, I just did not expect it to last. Apparently, that premonition has come true for the NBC show, as it will be ending after the current 13 episodes air. The preview I saw was interesting, but not enough to make me want to watch it. Then again, after Mr. & Mrs. […]
Read moreWhile it’s not quite official, CW has not ordered any further episodes of the series. It has apparently drawn only half the audience it did during season one and that certainly does not bode well for any show. Other than Smallville, what else airs on the CW? I can’t think of a single show. As the network’s lowest rated show, […]
Read moreThis is a beautiful little HTPC client from Zotac, with a very unique form factor that would blend with anything, even those fancy Bang & Olufsen gear! Agreed that it’s slightly odd the device doesn’t include a remote, but it looks like this could be a solid client for you. The real jewel in the new Ion GPU’s crown, as […]

Read moreGiven what Comcast announced last week, I just can’t be surprised by this at all. Just like then, I’m not entirely convinced that all (or even most) of these are due to Internet content, but more the fact that we’re in a recession, while Cable Companies just keep upping their already outrageous prices. This sounds so familiar to when Record […]
Read moreHere’s a great and super detailed setup guide for the latest Media Browser, movie collection plugin for Windows Media Center. Very slick UI and some great features, although some are now pay-only. It has been almost a year since I did my first writeup on Media Browser. Along the way there has been some pretty significant changes, so I thought […]
Read moreHere’s the roundup of podcasts in the past week…Enjoy! The wait is finally over! We’ve reached 100 and this is a big deal for us. While there isn’t a lot of news this week, we’re joined by Jere Jones and (for part of the show) James Montemagno and it was just a lot of fun. Many joined us live for […]

Finally, the highest-priced model is the Roku XDS, which lists for $99.99. This is the model we tested.

Read moreNot too much to pick this week, and I apologize for being a day late on these. MissingRemote’s Pick of the Week The Goonies ** Easy pick for me, since I was really unimpressed with Toy Story 3.
