Expanding on your screening possibilities is the Veebeam. An ultra-sleek and simple way for you to get more great content on your big screen, the Veebeam boasts that if it will play on your PC, you can watch it on your TV. The list of viewing opportunities online is growing daily, whether it's Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, network websites, or a host of others. The trouble is, few people … [Read more...]
That's right, there isn't even a time reference at all. We'll just have to take it as it comes. The last several weeks were so crazy that there was no possibility of even trying to get these things out to you, and I'm no better off at the moment. Therefore, it's the running headlong edition. First off though - The Critics' Choice Movie Awards are tonight on VH1. I'll be live blogging via … [Read more...]
At the NewTeeVee Live conference, it was confirmed that starting November 17th, there are going to be a lot of new options for your XBOX360 and more to the point XBOX Live. Already putting together big pushes in the everything-in-one box theory with lots of XBOX Live options and the ability to stream Netflix movies, you'll now be able to Twitter, Facebook, Last.fm, and plenty of other words that … [Read more...]
Ok, another week, and the first very serious effort into putting together the ScreenIt? mash. This should normally be every Wednesday, but I was working some different angles of things and experimenting this week. What we're working here is a weekly compilation of just about anything, taking advantage of the fact that I just can't talk about everything, but I can still give you something to … [Read more...]
This is becoming increasingly semi-weekly, but that seems to be about the rate at which enough interesting stuff comes through. Have a look at some of the recent options no one else is likely to be telling you about. As always, the first image links to the title's Netflix page. The second image, if there is one, will take you to the Amazon page. The title blurb is provided by … [Read more...]
So, last week there was so little thrown at me that I didn't even bother. Thus, a couple of these might be a bit older than new this week. But, there are some interesting bits in here. As usual, the first picture will take you to the Netflix page, and the second (if there is one) will take you to the Amazon page. The blurb is from Netflix. The Hairdresser's … [Read more...]
To say that I haven't been a Netflix member since the very beginning would be splitting hairs really. There were people who were getting their discs through the mail before I even heard of Netflix I suppose, but Netflix and I sit around the bar laughing on slow nights, and neither one of us can remember exactly how long its been. They're an easygoing sort of company, and just feel more … [Read more...]
Tivo and Netflix often put images in my head of commercials with really silly actors bumping into each other and saying, "You got your DVD rental service in my Digital Video Recorder!" (There is a chance you are too young for that reference.) It's rare for services to actually do things that make me sit there and think, "You know, I actually appreciate this." But, I've had a Tivo for … [Read more...]
It's been talked about for several years, but starting in December Netflix streaming will finally show up on your Tivo. Netflix has been showing signs of much success with its streaming feature, and you've seen Blu-Ray players hitting shelves with the Netflix capability built into them, but no-brainer Tivo connectivity has been glaringly absent. The Chicago Tribune's story covers … [Read more...]
