I’ve been a happy subscriber to AT&T’s U-verse service ever since it became available to me in my neighborhood. There have been loads of advantages I’ve enjoyed with U-verse over my previous cable TV service.

Sadlly, there are a few things that I wish U-verse would add to their feature list that currently doesn’t exist. A couple of them are being done by other TV services, yet some are suited perfectly to AT&T U-verse’s IPTV delivery system.
Feature Request 1
This one exists already, but U-verse doesn’t have it working on their system. I have a number of series recordings that we like …read more

LG recently showed off an upcoming new model for its popular line of flatscreen TVs: seamless. That’s right, there’s no frame around the screen.

The SL80 and SL90 models blend the bezel, LCD screen, and speakers into one, solid piece of hardware. The SL90 produces a 3,000,000:1 contrast ratio — a new high water mark for LG — and the thing is freakishly thin at just 1.15 inches. It has a 240Hz refresh rate and an ambient light sensor to automatically adjust brightness. The SL80 has the same set of features but uses a flourescent backlight, which drops the contrast to …read more

More and more people are turning to the Internet everyday for their daily entertainment from the small screen. With the variety of online video content that’s available through YouTube and other video sites, as well as the websites for the major TV networks, you can probably find something you’ve never seen available for the rest of your life.

Hulu has been covered at a variety of angles by b5media’s authors and on EveryJoe. I first wrote about it back in December of last year when it was in private beta release.
Hulu is now public and they’ve had some mainstream commercials about …read more

Okay, so over the holiday weekend, I had a chance to clear some stuff off of my DVR, instead of doing cool things like beating adventure games. I know, I’m boring, but this was in the name of science people! Not only do I love adventure games, I also love documentaries. So, that’s why I recorded the Discovery Channel’s documentary Rise of the Video Game, which I already talked a little about here. And let me tell you, it was quite interesting.
I got to learn that the only reason we have video games now is because the …read more

Yes, this is a delicious looking Discovery Channel cake. You, too, can have a delicious looking cake if you live in Canada.

The Discovery Channel has recently announced that they will be doing a 5 hour, prime time series called Rise of the Videogame, which will inevitably talk about… the rise of videogames. At least that’s what I’m going to assume they’ll be talking about. It’d be kind of funny to call it Rise of the Videogame if they were really talking about board games. Then it’d be Rise of the Board Game and I know what that would include. …read more
