More choice is good. Now the wait is on for the first reviews and how it stacks up against the Ceton card. What you’re looking at here is a picture of the board that makes the new HDHomeRun CableCARD tuner work. You might notice the four squares on the right, those are the tuners, yes there are four — […]
Read moreNice amount of selections out this week. I haven’t seen Daybreakers yet, but I’m always a fan of some nice vampire action, this one with a twist in that the vampires run the world. I saw Legion with anticipation, and was quickly disappointed. Edge of Darkness was a pretty decent thriller from Mel Gibson, with some nice surprises throughout. If […]
Read moreThere’s just so many things wrong with this, but i’ll let you all begin the discussion. It’s such a ridiculous argument to justify getting their way. As if this will stop ANY piracy.

IOGEAR GKM561R Wireless Keyboard Finding the right wireless keyboard and mouse for your HTPC can be a huge chore.

Read moreAluminum case manufacturer Lian Li is known for making great quality parts, but after some lackluster initial HTPC chassis sales, I wouldn’t have blamed them for leaving. However, this is a neat looking design, and the $169 price tag is fairly in line with everything else. Although…why black and Red? The new PC-V352 is made out of aluminium […]
Read moreI always am intrigued by how open some of these CEO’s will be in these Q&A’s. Here is the head of Blockbuster, who isn’t shy about blaming Viacom for their debt and bragging about their not having the 28-day new release window. Blockbuster’s strategy to be a multichannel entertainment solution is strongly supported by our studio partners, and we believe […]
Read moreRecently, my normally rock-solid HTPC client has been locking up and turning off every so often. I had been thinking it was a memory issue and swapping some of the chips out and/or putting them in different slots seemed to make it work again. This, in spite of the fact that memtest showed no issues at all. I was beginning […]
Read moreHas anyone taken advantage of this so far? Seems like a pretty sweet deal, and they’ve expanded it to 90 titles. For only $5 you can trade in your DVD for the Blu-ray version. Responding to the extraordinary growth of Blu-ray set-top hardware, Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group has expanded its "DVD2Blu" upgrade program. Starting today, consumers can select from […]
Read moreAnother great week of topics being discussed over at our Forums. Lots of discussion on the upcoming Windows 7 Embedded product with Media Center. And getting some great HTPC build advice for both Rehabman and AndresJ as their projects continue to evolve!
