Media Distribution/Extenders
Now here’s a cool announcement. The FlyWire had been hyped for so long and got lots of people excited, only to be killed off very quickly. Now we hear news from Philips about their wireless HDMI transmitter which is equally expensive but hopefully sees the light of day.

Nice little box, very simple design but this thing seems to be feature filled and at only $100 is going to really push the other extenders out there. Includes 1080p support, bitorrent (not a clue how this works) and even YouTube XL integration. GizmoScene brite-view releases a new HD media player that follows their recently released CinemaCube(on sale $64.99). […]

This is way past my level of expertise, but if you’re willing to invest the time this is pretty awesome. Being able to get HDMI via Ethernet allows you to go much further than before…with some effort of course. Great write up over at Geektonic.

I really love the fact that Logitech bought the squeezebox a while ago but has continued to innovate it. Every time I hear of a great technology being acquired I have fears of Meedio and Yahoo again. Anyhow, some basic pictures of the upcoming product for your enjoyment. Engadget According to the hapless owner and photographer, however, it’s stuck […]
Read moreProbably the most videos I have ever seen for an unboxing of a unit, especially from a forum post. Here’s the original unboxing, but visit the actual NetworkedMediaTank forums for the full details and all 100 of youtube videos (or so it seems). Still trying to get one of these Popcorn Hour units in-house to do our own comparison, so […]

Kotaku The 120GB Xbox 360 Elite will sell for $299.99, while the popular 60GB Xbox 360 Pro will be cut to $249.99. Despite being Microsoft’s […]
Read moreMSWHS found this handy little article written on connecting your Logitech Squeezebox to your Windows Home Server system. Presumably a lot of these steps are good practice, so they could work even if you have a different player. Simple but effective if you’re having difficulties. Scott Miller The main problem was that while streaming music I would get intermittent stops […]
Read moreIt’s always interesting to see random articles that appear. This time up is this report from a research analyst in regards to improvements he forsees with the AppleTV, something which hasn’t been changed, improved or evolved at all in quite a while. If it wasn’t for Boxee, would anyone even be using this thing still? It’s so drastically underpowered and […]
Read moreIf you are using an Xbox360 as your media center extender this has to give you some pause. I’m not sure I would fully believe the numbers are this high, but nobody will doubt that there have definitely been some problems which Microsoft has tried addressing with fast and simple return process. I should say I have owned 2 Xbox360’s […]

This is one of those great vision ideas that I’m going to withhold judgement until something actually becomes real. But it is good to see the big providers again thinking of innovating for the benefit of the consumer (and themselves, of course). EngadgetHD The concept is that you’d get a RVU server from your content provider (like DirecTV but […]
