I am on the fence right now. I am wondering if I should or should not. I am tempted, plus the fact that I feel I missed out some not getting the iPhone and waiting until the iPhone 3G to get one. So, who is going to order one? Right now I am leaning about 80% towards risking it...

The latest TiVo update with Amazon streaming and VUDU streaming is great! I had a bunch of Ultraviolet movies via free Blu-Ray Digital copy and other offers. I used a roku to access before, but I find the TiVo much better and more convenient. The same with Amazon prime. Not to mention the...

I went to see this movie today. I had to go down to Dallas to see it since it is still in pretty limited release. It goes wider on Friday. I did not really know what to expect. It has gotten great reviews (rotten tomatoes currently at 99/92), but it was also 2 hours 45 minutes. I was not...

Interesting I received a new channel lineup from TWC. They state "All Channels in HD where available". They no longer have separate SD vs HD channels. I am sure they are going to have some channels in SD only since they are currently not in HD now, but it looks like they intend to go HD only...
