Some good news for some early adopter customers. If you recall our review of the fantastic GlideTV Navigator, the thing sure has a ton of potential, and it’s great to see the company stand behind it and continue to develop for it. No surprise on the SageTV guys continuing to do what they do best, with a 7.0 product forthcoming. […]
Read moreThe good news: HQV has released a new 2.0 version of their calibration disc and it only costs $20! The bad news, it’s already unavailable. Doh! I’ve worked with disc duplication, and it would make no sense for them to have produced so few of a disc so rarely changed that they ran out already…so I’m guessing production is just […]
Read moreKudos to Alex for finding this, it’s a brief 3 minute video with a hands on experience of the popbox from syabas, makers of the Popcorn Hour. The interface is very slick, and the device is real small costing $129 or $149 for an 802.11n-enabled version, available in March.

Read moreLots of predictions and foreshadowing this week, and I’m sure next week it will all be about CES. But if you didn’t get a chance to go, here’s a good beginner course while we post news bits about the show. Seen in HD 18 – CES, District 9 and more Something that could be a big deal, using a […]

Home Media Mag According to DEG figures, Blu-ray Disc sales were up 70% and rentals were up 48% from the previous year. In the fourth quarter […]

I’ve gotten to feel this remote and it’s pretty slick. I’m working to see about getting one for review, but it’s neat. The idea of a voice-enabled remote is interesting and one that has been thrown around several times over the years.

The fact that Avermedia released an awesome device like this doesn’t surprise me, only that it took them this long to do so. For a while now Hauppauge has been the sole HD solution (besides firewire) for satellite and non-cablecard users to be able to take in an HD signal into their Media Centers. I agree with Ben, hopefully the […]
Read moreI think the price is fair, and it puts the decision making smack on the users–do you want 1 tuner for $150, dual tuners for $250 or massive quad tuners at $400. For ONCE in the cable card world we will have a CHOICE! The sad/interesting part of course, is that it is requiring Windows 7, no word yet on […]

Looks like good news for those miscellaneous questions many of you had when we first caught a glimpse of the remote, it will be sold separately.
