Read moreAugust 31st Blu-ray Releases
Right off the bat, I know I’m going to get a hard time for NOT picking Sam Raimi’s awesomely classic Evil Dead. In my defense, I loved that movie, but I really didn’t like it nearly as much as I had hoped having seen Army of Darkness first. So there you go. House 5th season is a great one as […]
Read moreHuluPlus Comparison Chart
Have you been wondering what are the different offerings between Hulu free, Hulu Plus & Netflix? Well here’s a pretty darned long comparison chart showing off just exactly that. Free Hulu doesn’t have too much in the way of full seasons, but they’re not without their gems. Especially older shows like Highlander and Doogie Howser. Though, putting Doogie Howser […]

Read moreTime Shifting And Online Make Up Nearly Half Of All Viewing
Pretty interesting report here on how people are digesting content. No surprise that the older crowd is much more stuck on actual Live TV watching than the younger crowd, but the numbers for TV are still over 50%. Wonder how long before that drops even more.

Read moreSageTV STP-HD300
Those familiar with SageTV know that one of its major strengths is an consumer electroincs (CE) style extender, the STP-HD200, which really extends the entire experience – supporting everything from DVDs with menu support, to BDMV (Blu-ray folders) and MKV with PGS (aka Blu-ray) subtitles.

Read moreCommodore PC64: Looks Like a Commodore, Works Like a PC
Slow news day, but this cracked me up. I grew up with a Commodore64, so how cool would it be to use one and put it next to your TV? Then throw a C64 emulator on there, play a little Summer Olympics…and let the good times roll. Inside that iconic case it has an Intel Atom 525 CPU with […]
