Cable companies miss tru2way deadline, insist it's no big deal {Engadget HD}
Jul 2nd 2009 10:21PM The adapter you want is called tuning adapter. If they claim have no idea what you're talking about, threaten to file a complaint with FCC. A few cable companies just recently get fined by FCC for this same reason.
Sony to leave the "battle to the bottom" of Blu-ray player prices alone, for 2009 at least {Engadget HD}

True enough. But you're no longer an AMD fanboy from what you described and certainly not puzzled about why AMD is doing so poorly financially recently.

Jun 26th 2009 7:14PM Well, you said you're a Sony fanboy.
And yes, XBR LED TV is fantastic but at what price? You're the one being rediculous
Netgear MoCA Coax-Ethernet adapter review {Engadget HD}
Jun 26th 2009 3:13PM It will not work over powered amps. What you could do is connect your living room united before the powered amp.

Jun 26th 2009 3:02PM As long as ppl like you keep buying what ever crap Sony produces, I don't see why Sony sholdn't keep doing what they are doing right now: higher prices for little or no features.
Belkin's Gigabit Powerline Adapter ups the ante for electrical outlet networking {Engadget HD}
Jun 23rd 2009 10:18AM Agreed. Too much marketing BS for Ethernet-Over-Powerline.
D-Link finally ships the DXN-221 Coax Ethernet adapter {Engadget HD}
Apr 21st 2009 2:46PM No, you will have to connect to your router's LAN side, not internet side. Hence you need another box. There is no network on coax cable side by itself unless you are going to setup a second cable modem and account.

Apr 21st 2009 2:43PM I have a pair of Gefen Ethernet over coax box purchased from BeachAudio.com for similar price. It works out very well. I did a file transfer test using Windows XP. I got about 70mbps real world performance for Windows file copy which is very close to what 100mbps LAN can offer. The actual link speed is about 160mbps on my setup over about 200 to 300 feet of coax running out side of my house (my existing cable run).
From the review I read, typical MoCA setup is about 70 to 80 mbps for one connection and about 130 mbps for multiple connections.
The Gefen receiver box comes with 4-port switch, perfect for my HT setup.
This setup beats any wi-fi networking as far as I can see in the area of consistant throughput, low ping and speed.

Apr 21st 2009 2:37PM You will somehow connect to your router. That's where your network is. Hence the need for second box.
Samsung begins production on edge-lit LED-backlit HDTV panels {Engadget HD}
Mar 27th 2009 4:57PM I totally agree with you. My first thought is "selective dimming" is gone. It's almost impossible to do with edit lit. So goes the black level and contrast ratio.
Compromises that some will take over the thinness of the TV. But not for me.
