Podcast #581: TV Buying Trends and an Interview with OpenRemote.org

We like to occasionally take a look at the top selling products at Amazon as a barometer of what is occurring in the larger Consumer Electronics market. Sometimes what we find shocks us, other times is confirms our suspicions, and sometimes it just flat out doesn’t make any sense at all. Yesterday we took a look at the top 10 selling HDTVs. What we found was in some ways surprising, but it certainly wasn’t shocking.

Podcast #580: Mohu Sky HDTV Antenna

We here at the HDTV and Home Theater Podcast are always looking for new products that make your home theater better.

Podcast #577: Roku 3 Review

Despite Roku being the pioneer in modern streaming boxes, the Apple TV has become the device all others are measured by.  But has that changed with the recent release of the Roku 3 just a few weeks ago?  We aren’t sure about that, but we know Roku has certainly become even more compelling.  At only $99, there’s really no downside to it (buy now).
