I’m not 100% sure on the usability of something like this, but it’s good to see any sort of news from Toshiba after the HD-DVD demise, right? CrunchGear The recorders will be available in Japan at the beginning of next month and prices are pretty decent: $500 for the 320GB model and $650 for the 1GB model. But Toshiba […]

Some handy info and something definitely to consider before you decide on doing so. EngadgetHD We know how it goes, you pick up a nice big HDTV and a wall-mount only to […]

It’s nice to see low-cost manufacturer Vizio really pushing the technology expectations of television sets these days. I’m sold on these feaures needing to be a part of the TV, but I’ll hold my judgement until I see them in action.

I’m a big fan of Sonos and have many friends that are in love with theirs. I was always a bit skeptical about their rather large remote though, so I’m pleased to see this new guy come in much sleeker. Hopefully it stays in an appropriate price range for us little people.

For as long as I can remember, I wanted a setup like this. Of course, I doubt I’ll have the $15k anytime soon, but the general idea should be able to be had for much less. Gotta love that sports ticker at the top… CrunchGear It’s not like you’re getting ripped off, either. You get four TVs, a 1200-watt […]

At a price range starting at $3,000 (and going upwards of $10k), I have to believe most people will not be satisfied with this type of chassis, no matter how nicely painted, in their living room. It goes over the top with specs and water cooling which is nice, but seriously….it sticks out like a sore (huge) thumb to me?!?! […]

Friends of MissingRemote are sure to know our take on SageTV–it’s super powerful, and super customizable…basically a whole lotta fun. Toss in their Extenders and you can really have a whole-home system finally. The addition of this plugin looks really promising, and just another example of the SageTV community stepping up. Check out the link for some slick looking screenshots. […]
