Much like the Sky Player for 360 in the UK, Foxtel will be made available as a streaming service to Xbox Live Gold Subscribers by the end of 2010. I’m pretty keen on this, provided they keep the price at a sensible level or - even better - let people pick and choose the channels [...]
After previously making the effort to tidy up my home theater setup, I had unfortunately let that good work go to waste and once again was faced with an absolute mess. After putting it off for a while, I finally knuckled down this afternoon and pulled everything out. The additional impetus was provided by my [...]
As widely reported, Toshiba has given up on its HD-DVD format, conceding defeat to Blu-Ray in the war for the next-generation of optical media. After recent studio defections the decision was largely expected, although the accelerated wind-down comes as a little bit of a surprise — they expect to cease production by the end of [...]
In a word: nice. In more words: sweet, a patch that really does improve things. Most significant new feature for me is the additional media formats supported for playback. Now it really is as easy as bunging a bunch of DivX/Xvid/MPEG4/x264 files on a memory stick or external USB HDD, hooking it up to the [...]

Pleasingly, a recent update has added support for DTS audio output. The only slight downside is that the player comes bundled with King Kong, [...]
One sleepless night, I finally decided I couldn’t stand the mess of cables behind my Home Theater setup and decided to take drastic action. I pulled everything out, moved things around and then got down to the messy task of wiring everything up again - but this time making sure to tie up extra lengths [...]
Temptation finally got the better of me and I picked up a Mediagate MG-35 yesterday. It’s a small, cheap media player that can be fitted with a hard drive and can also stream media from a network PC.
First impressions were positive, the HDD was easy to install and the array of outputs on the back [...]
Real mix for this order. Some that I’ve been putting off until they came down in price, others just because.
I’ve discovered the magical formula for temporary happiness. Pro Evolution Soccer 5 + XBOX + 81cm LCD Panel + 6.1 channel Surround Sound System = Joy!
In other words, I picked up a Surround Sound System on the Weekend, filling in the final gap in my Home Theater setup. Nice Kenwood job, supporting DTS-ES, Dolby Digital [...]
