Read moreBlockbuster VOD now live on TiVo
And the integration of online services continues…this time with Blockbuster teaming up with TiVo. Interesting to see, given that TiVo already supports Netflix. I like it though, give the consumers the powers and let them decide based on quality not on which box they happened to have with X service. ZnF Typical digital movie pricing and rental terms […]
Read moreToshiba REGZA 46SV670U LED LCD Television Review
Toshiba has itself another quality set here, although there is some marketing fluff added in with some of the specs. Doesn’t make it any less quality, but just something to make sure you pay attention to if you’re in the market. Audioholics One of the more revealing tests we performed on the REGZA 46SV670U was the Rainbow Dither 2/3 […]

Read moreOppo Drops DVD to Focus on Blu-Ray
I don’t think this is nearly as significant as it appears from the title, since Blu-ray players are backwards compatible with DVD movies anyways.

Read moreNew Wi-Fi Direct Gets Peer-to-Peer Connections
I’m thinking this type of connection could make for some cool sideshow devices. Maybe even a better standard for Home Automation device. Forget the X10 and ZigBee stuff. My take: This is great news.

I was hoping to see something mentioning my issue with the offline files feature causing the file server box to disconnect from the network, It happens also when I tried to use CloneDVD to copy its image to a network shared. Disabling IP6 on the NICs helps but then you lose homegroup functionality. Perhaps I need to go back to […]
Read moreVUDU throwing Rotten Tomatoes reviews on every movie it sells
Now here’s a very cool integration with an online service that actually makes sense. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure there’s a purpose for a twitter update on your big screen, but count me on the minority who would prefer seeing these types of reviews for available online streaming movies. Engadget The streaming service is now trying to help […]
Read moreSweet GlideTV Navigator is the coolest looking HTPC remote ever
