Happy 2009
Wishing everyone a great 2009 from Multimedia-PCs. I’ll be back online starting tomorrow to get everyone some more great content. I have taken the last week or so off to escape from my online addiction. Sitting at a computer most of my awake hours was wearing on my body and spirit. I got to spend [...]

Roku Updates to Bring HD Netflix
Roku has updated it’s little Netflix box with streaming HD. Mine doesn’t have the update yet. From what I read it looks like it is being sent in phases. Some comments said that the content is switching to HD automatically if you have them loaded in the queue. I’m keep hitting the update button until [...]
Turn Your USB Hard Drive into a NAS
External hard drives were the backup solution of choice. NAS, Time Machine and Windows Home Server are taking over by making it possible to share data between the multiple computers most families are buying. With Addonics’ USB-to-NAS adapter you can turn your USB drives into a NAS. The price is very reasonable at $55.

I haven’t heard many good things about the Blockbuster MediaPoint Player. They were late to the game to compete with Netflix for movies in mail and they lost to Netflix with the set top box. According to most the MediaPoint player wasn’t ready for prime time. Seems rushed to the public for the holiday sales. [...]

Review: Western Digital WD TV HD Media Player
Crunch Gear has a review on the new Western Digital WD TV HD media player. I agree with them that it is a horrible name. Something like the WD TV HD isn’t for everyone. It takes all the technical aspects out of getting digital content to your TV. Plug in a flash drive with some [...]
