    WD TV HD player in india officially

    The one thing that I am waiting for is the next version of the Asus EEE Box, the B204/B206. These come with an ATI chipset that can play HD video. The B204 even has a battery to take care of power outages. Of course, it will be more expensive than the WD TV, but you can do a lot more with it...

    WD TV HD player in india officially

    Damn, that price really kills it for me. I think I will stick to playing videos through my laptop's HDMI port.

    How much can I get for my VCR

    I have a Sony VCR, around 8 years old. At the time, it was a fairly high end model with 6 heads, stereo recording etc. I had been using it quite regularly over the years, mainly to catch up on TV programs that I had missed. But yesterday, while cleaning out the cabinet, I realized that it was...

    HD Wireless Media Center

    I don't have hands on experience with these, but from what I read on the Net, wireless streaming doesn't work as well as it should, especially for HD content. Another option to consider is the WD TV. It doesn't have wireless, plays video from a USB storage device. It seems to work very well...

    Reason to avoid the grey market

    That was my point exactly, as long as you have no problems, the grey market is the better alternative. Its only when something goes wrong that you realize the benefit of a B+W and a retailer of good standing.

    Reason to avoid the grey market

    I bought a 26 inch LCD the past weekend from Croma. Initially it was working perfectly, but after a couple of hours, I noticed that the picture vanished from the top part of the screen. Thinking it may be a problem with the signal, I hooked up my DVD player and got the same results. I took a...

    iphone 3g coming to bsnl too

    This does not look credible. I doubt the kind of customers who would go for an iphone would get a bsnl connection with all its attendant hassles. They are playing in the lower income market and Apple is in the premium end of the market.
