TweakTown has a nice little article comparing the difference between NVidia & ATI when it comes to connecting your nice new HDTV via HDMI. It's easier than you think, and by far the best quality you can obtain. Nothing like seeing Media Center software on a nice 50" Plasma in pure high definition…*drool* Because HDTV resolutions are greater than the […]
Read moreHappy Friday! I tried viewing the actual article, but for some reason it wouldn't load. Luckily, Gizmodo's page loads just fine. They reference an article from HighDefDigest with their opinions on the best HD Discs of the year, so make sure they're on your Christmas list. •Batman Begins (HD-DVD) •The Bourne Supremacy (HD-DVD) •Casablanca (HD-DVD) •The Devil Wears Prada (Blu-Ray) […]
Read moreSet you watches, write this date down in your calender! Well, maybe a look at your Wal-Mart ad will suffice. Fox has announced a few new Blu-ray titles set to come out on March 13th. Nothing to revolutionary about these release. A mix of CODECS will be used, with the standard commentaries from the director to the dog groomer. From […]

The major drawbacks, which are not that major in this budget level, are the lack of switching options, on-screen display, lack of S-Video, and no front A/V […]

More of an addendum to their NSK2400 case, SilentPCReview got their hands & give their take on an Antec Fusion Case. I've seen this case up close, and it's really quite nice. My only gripe is that it can only support mATX motherboards. Back in April, we mentioned that the NSK2400 would be joined by a high end cousin called […]

Buzz words such as Deep Color and True HD audio certainly make it sound worth it. Read on to see if it actually is. From the article: […]
Read moreFloppyhead has a rather nice article about what it'll take for Media Centers to be mainstream. No doubt they're getting much closer than ever before, and I agree with most of his points….except not sure how huge "storage of movies" is to the mainstream audience.

The remote gods clearly are smiling down on us today. Just saw news of yet another Vista MCE Sideshow-compatible remote. The more of these I see, the more I want one! Maybe these will finally push me over the edge to switch to Vista? That gives you a 100-meter (or so) operating radius when coupled with the included USB RC6 […]
Read morePretty scary to see American Idol dominate the top 2 positions here, in fact, reality TV has the Top 3 marks. I guess people haven't heard about Lost, Prison Break or Nip/Tuck. And where's Thursday Night Football?!??! Surely limiting availability of NFL Network to 50 people would put that on top, no?!?! AMERICAN IDOL-TUESDAY FOX 17.7 AMERICAN IDOL-WEDNESDAY FOX 17.2 […]
Read moreWhile not entirely home theater related, the idea of a television network reaching this type of agreement is fantastic. But it's no surprise to me, as the UK in general has quite a large audience for their shows around the world, and this is just another means for them to expand their reach. Bravo for not fearing technology! The new […]
