VUDU Wireless Kit: it adds WiFi to your VUDU {Engadget HD}

I used to use one on my ReplayTV for streaming. It worked pretty good.

HDMI opinions from the field {Engadget HD}
Jan 2nd 2008 7:45PM I work in high-end videoconferencing system design. We end up taking into account how our systems will be integrated/installed. Our products have DVI-I output and input, and have for some time. On the input side (primarily for PC connectivity) I would guess the installations are heavily weighted towards analog (VGA to DVI-A) because the majority of our users have VGA outputs on their laptops/PCs. On the output side, things are trending more towards digital when there is a single display involved in the installation, but analog (VGA) when there are multiple displays, primarily because of run length and distribution means. It's harder for resellers and integrators to make money on the expensive cables and DAs, when there are analog choices for considerably less. We're talking about 720p or even WXGA resolutions for most installs so the difference is in the mind of the beholder (IMHO).
Another win for TiVo: Cox partnership pans out {Engadget}
Aug 24th 2006 2:41PM So three weeks ago I made the jump from Cox to Verizon FIOS in Fairfax, VA. I switched for a number of reasons (about $40 of them). One of the things I hated on Cox was their Scientific Atlanta DVR. That thing was terrible. Before that I had been using a ReplayTV5504 unit which I loved, but it had no HD. The Scientific Atlanta DVR sucked only a little less than a broken Sanyo VHS recorder. I HATED it. The UI stunk. It was unreliable. Ugh. I switched to Verizon and expected to have the same terrible experience. I have to say that the Motorolla DVR on FIOS is ALMOST as good as my ReplayTV was in useability. In fact, it's getting better every day as they are releasing new features for it (i.e. watch from other rooms). That fact that Cox will have a TiVo based DVR could not be better news for Cox subscribers. But I read on Gizmodo that it was for Cox DVRs made by Motorolla, so Scientific Atlanta DVR users are out-of-luck.
Ask Engadget: Best videoconferencing solution for grandma/pa? {Engadget}
Jun 15th 2006 9:26PM TANDBERG 880
- Has a built in multi-site capability
- 30 frames per second
- use as big or small as TV as you want
- full duplex audio
- auto answer configurable for on, off, or on+mic off
- Infrared Remote Control included. Dial your call like you would a mobile phone.
- Best of all: no unreliable virus-infested computer required
You didn't mention anything about price though. :) It'll set you back a few grand. You could shave off a couple of grand by removing the multiple site stipulation. Most VTC manufacturers charge a premium for that feature.
