With so much video available online these days (not to mention other video downloads you may have rented or purchased or somewhat illegally obtained) more people are looking for ways to view it on a big screen sitting comfortably on their couches rather than hunched over a computer monitor.

The company’s AT-HDVieW provides a single-cable-to-your-TV solution in a compact, plug-and-play device… View this story

Our modern AV world currently has no shortage of ways to get PC video content on to your big screen. One of the most versatile (assuming you have a speedy home network) is the server-side DLNA uPnP server.  These work by running a small piece of software on a PC somewhere on your network that transcodes video from websites otherwise left PC captive, and ships them out to any DLNA uPnP client elsewhere on your network. With a growing number of TVs, Blu-ray players, and… View this story

Since Apple unveiled its iPad, custom electronics professionals have had questions, especially to what could be a potentially major application of the new device. Will the 9.7-inch screen tablet impact home automation? Will it benefit Savant, an Apple Proprietary Solutions Provider, which already leverages Apple’s popularity with its Rosie control app? Savant’s responses: yes and yes. “When we look back on this two years from now, we’re going to say this was a watershed event, not just for Savant but for the industry in general,”… View this story

These aren’t your father’s Olympics anymore. For one thing, if you miss any of this year’s Winter Olympics action, chances are you can find what you’re looking for by going to NBC’s Olympics website and watching live and recorded footage, some in high-def, right on your computer (or feed it to a TV or projection display). Of course, finding videos and information in this current generation of Olympics coverage is easier than ever. That includes applications to help you follow things on your mobile devices.… View this story

Netflix’s Watch Instantly service has become more like Watch Everywhere over the past year, as more devices have added its support. While very convenient and offering pretty good quality, the service is still lacking some features that home theater buffs want ... and still need to play optical disc formats to get. Namely, surround-sound audio and full HD 1080p video. The former appears to be on its way to the rental giant’s streaming service this year, according to a CNET report. The latter, however, it… View this story

When Boxee was still an up-and-coming content aggregator, the company owed a good chunk of its popularity for putting a fresh face on Hulu. Hulu was just one destination offered via the Boxee interface, which provides easy access to dozens of other streaming sites. In February 2009, however, Hulu ordered Boxee (and TV.com) to cease offering Hulu content on their sites. Later, Hulu altered its format so third parties could no longer embed Hulu content – or at least they couldn’t do it as easily… View this story

This seems like a no-brainer, judging by what was on display at CES 2010, but DisplaySearch issued a report saying 3D TVs and connected TVs will explode in 2010.
