A low budget streaming media home theater, should you re-lamp or just buy a new projector bulb, more on the missing picture-in-picture and new Blu-ray releases!

Annie from AppJudgment is "on the hook for my own media setup for the first time." And she just put a deposit down on a new apartment, so funds are tight. Can we cover all her streaming video needs, like Hulu+ and Netflix with one box... and for less than $1000? Yes. Watch the video!
Josh from Baltimore, MD is feeling frugal, has a new projector, and would "like to have a spare bulb/lamp available when time comes to replace it. I've found conflicting opinions about whether it's good to 'relamp,' i.e., replace the bulb in the housing of the projector module, rather than buy an entire new module. I'm a very frugal person and fairly adept at repairing gadgets, so do you think this is a safe thing to be doing, or should I steer clear and just fork over the extra cash for a new housing module that includes the lamp?"
Where's the picture in picture? Robert talked to Alex Chervet, at Silicon Image AKA the gatekeepers, innovators, and shepherds of all things HDMI ... and we've got the inside scoop on why so few HDTVs offer PiP! (and info on InstaPrevue, which looks cool!
New releases for this week include Pulp Fiction, Fast Five, Pee-wee's Big Adventure, and more! Watch the video for details on our favorites, and check out High-Def Digest and High Def Disc News for the complete list of releases.
