Week In Review – November 22, 2009

Below is a quick summary of the past week's news and stories on GeekTonic.

 

PogoPlug Gets Updated with more features and USB Ports – I’m not in love with the look of the new PogoPlug, but they sure did add some nice new features.

Recording Video Gameplay -The Other Use for the Hauppauge HD-PVR – I know the Hauppauge HD-PVR is very popular as a way to PVR digital, encrypted content from Cable and Satellite, but I’m guessing the gamers are buying up quite a few of these as well.

YouTube Gone from PopCorn Hour – For Now – Looks like google is pulling YouTube from CE boxes using their API unless they pay the big bucks.  Look for many more CE device manufacturers making similar announcements soon.

Look Ma, No Batteries On My Remote Control! – Nice concept – Imagine life without batteries…

Xbox Apps – Virtual Controller

Kindle eReader Arrives in Amazon Canada Store – Canadians can finally get the Kindle 2.  A few things will be withheld from them, but not much.

Video with MythTV – A great guest-blog post on MythTV.  Give it a read its a good one.

TheTVDB.com TV Metadata Server Outage – It’s now back and just upgraded more today.

Commercial Skipping with SageTV, Comskip and DirMon2 – a geeky but very useful tutorial ;)

This week of Thanksgiving I’m hoping to share a few gift ideas with all of you.  And if all goes well a few HTPC tutorials that have been on the burner for a while as well.  More in-depth content for Media Gadget Fans at GeekTonic.com.  If you’re in to the Twitter thing, be sure and follow me on twitter under the name GeekTonic.  Thanks for Reading GeekTonic!
