" Welcome to in digital I'm just compartment and Al -- choice. And unfortunately it will -- is once again."

" Out MIA is and I know he actually it's his son's graduation he has good reason."

" in the hall happy uh huh that's on this one Hobbs has an artist like that and this week was actually supposed your Mac versus PC show it since -- it here. We cannot do without disease has -- stay on top."

" Oh yeah he's got to my yeah we definitely want him including natural so we're -- and continue with the other things."

" I think a lot technically this show can be called. The random stats show."

" Yes lots of random stop lots of random stuff today so before we get started lead us give away the Kensington Internet phone which was a contest we do two episodes -- and -- and Jonathan in Switzerland. Is taking that off why does not take -- out among sending its own right."

" Saying it here home we went internationalist and the love -- and easy to have you guys know. Dairy he was the one that actually won this on that the recommendation of his wife yeah Brad watches this show we watch the show however Gary. It is send us your address man. So people all. Not only submit your cells but also submit your address yes and very important. Yeah very important so first up very important I am talking about HD radiance."

" heard an eighteen radio what you have an it is crystal clear seeing all these -- that we're not cost -- Well that's at a hardware. Eighteen radio isn't exactly new it's been around for years but it just got a tip off. But the -- to make you see this coming down the number of stations supporting increasing. Maybe it's time to take a look again. This satellite radio have to worry about this definite need -- competition. HD radio what's like count on radio signal being sent thousands -- Evans patients can Cinemax and 150 -- but typically playlist for HD radio stations are sending out nice elements the second. One of the best things about eighteen mile is that it's free -- I set free and that means it knows it's boy what. Now listen to stations in here that great scanner and you don't know the artist song and HD radio display that information. Let cool that's Kelly Clarkson Britney track but really it's all about the -- Music and more music the big thing is involved casting one FM stations have as many different stations on at this time. For instance on an analog radio he can't send them is just the top forty radio station. But I'm thinking radio and his of them can have it current top forty town a record how important channel and the Sundance channel and so on. So here's a look at three of the eighteen they have set top boxes and they started about 100 dollars in the Google always about six. The AC 100 easily -- next year that classes and you look -- Canon hasn't fixed antenna. They see 100 has all the basic radio functions like preset alarm clock but only five preset for ascending by Abraham. There's this fund rated best surgeons and ready to reposition only and that there isn't aux Jack for -- and -- things. It's going down downside is that there's no remote control. RadioShack has a cool HD radio with its simple sleek silver designs -- I'm thinking it's. Because they're really good and there's and there's twenty countries. Can't have enough control. An actor and doesn't do double duty as an alarm clock so essentially it's just your standard set top radio. Maybe a little pricey it's senator back but it is your all -- one entertainment it's the radios come -- It's also a dvd you keep -- Jackson on Jack for your I pod and it's a satellite compatible. He could also spent 33 cents of his favorite it's. Analog an -- station. And at some stations. Their buttons on I'm sorry but it's literally called. So in conclusion if you are an audio file that is in the early adopters and you really want disease radio make an impact and he's. Mind you the."

" I tried out years ago in it was in my car though yet it was like 800 bucks for the system yet. Without spending did you did you buy it no it was a review for it went that way back at tech TV yet had it was it was expensive yet those come down a lot price but is it that -- public it's something it's old technology but you about the same time well I mean it's a whole."

" HD thing but as soon as we were talking about. You know they're using HD. Radio because his comeback that buzz term right now that everybody wants to yeah bond because everybody wants an HD experience however. And today is digital digital digital radio. And an unfortunately there just isn't enough. Like -- range with these stations the right. -- and and not enough content really inserted. Spend a lot of money getting these receivers is kind of pointless but and understand where they're trying to push it and it actually acting at will get back. In -- love."

" The idea about the big thing when I -- and have multiple channels like one station only had their station -- and a lot -- time they weren't doing the album information or anything so just like would just sounds a little bit better. But now they're they seem to progress -- there but it's still not. I'm I'm a firm believer it's like you're getting a card each from the FM radio on. It's there right -- want to even think about all I need something else when satellite radio I'm a little bit more forgiving because you get more content more channels and let's commercials as -- reasons why you -- thirteen or not. But regular radio seems really strange to be running out and spending hundreds of dollars and to. By this new equipment and I just feel like I just need to yell just from my radio it's there and then but he obviously technology wise it can't. It's -- be more than that done."

" Yes it's it's a cool technology I wonder what the future that is going to be at that it yeah everything's in B -- later this will be a viable."

" Option might you my question is because right now like it you know -- one channel has have so much an advertising to survive now -- one like. Kiss up on my guess and in this area rent in Los Angeles has four channels."

" How would like Howard I think that advertising from buy on and might be actually more of an incentive for advertises the -- on. To have access to all four channel yeah -- just one so."

" Who knows who knows it's heated debates interest stuff but we'll we'll see what happens to it and a I guess. The big bushel be in the cars now there's right now BMW jags -- the only company to have it. We'll say it hopefully get more radio good choices I can't get like next I continue our search for the media center in the living room."

" Wow wow. Over the last few episodes we looked at various ways yet the media pocket computer and onto your television. We looked at Apple TV when Xbox is -- even gaming consoles. But perhaps the best way to get the media pocket computer is to use a computer like this one from velocity micro. It's quite a powerful machine with an Intel core two duo processor at two point 13 gigahertz two gigabytes of memory and AT ITV wonder tuner. And HD CP compliant 256. Megabyte Nvidia geforce graphics card and eat one media reader with strange but true a floppy drive. Plus there's 500 gigabytes of storage site easily apparent to fifteenth. Everything is thousand settled yet substantial in this case that it's nice to set up. Comes with the IR remote and -- keyboard to but the most tilted the -- or is it possible use. First then that's great Bluetooth keyboard when Logitech to know -- at this lingered suite designed to 6200 dollar price tag. 01 more thing it runs Microsoft Windows Vista home. Forget about the windows side it thinks it's a media -- that really makes -- that part Microsoft dot lights. It's clean easy use and there's some nice perks like automatically downloading information about movies album art even the latest sports scores. Yes it's got into our problems compared to a component a home here first of all there's only two minds so that means extra cables in the back and it's loud. That -- you've been here. That's -- fans and there. Plus it is a computer C -- you opting to compatibility issues viruses. They didn't like the car. Even happier preventive maintenance and every now and again a major -- the one option that didn't come with Mississippi's ET ITV wonder digital cable tuner. It integrated cable card slot. That's really Mississippi senator pieces that next level with the ability to lead to digital cable and HP sources from your cable company. And not just a major networks down here. Computers have some negatives but there's also lots of positive -- networking capabilities if you need more storage -- store -- hard drive and that. You can think iPod with if you want as if you happen upon some video codec you can just install it. And that makes it the most customizable media center you can find."

" It's our computer -- tea -- it trying to cable car model I know it that's one thing that I'm really looking forward to trying out this. Because right now let's get the cable box from for cable company to get high Def and even the -- channel's value they just give you card. If it's available I know it's available Los angels I don't know what the rest of the country. But you get a hard drop it in and now this computer turns into years DVR -- does hotel where you know via these services DOD is missing yes so you can't get on the dance. Things like if you wanted to watch well a rerun of what what's on reruns these -- yeah. I don't know what's obviously whenever like HBO immediately feels it's -- to watch on the movies on DOT for a free -- you won't be able do that but. I still like the idea of -- now because right before you had to do over the -- to get high Def on the computer and then it really sucked but now you can you don't have to do."

" That but I gotta be honest. Even though -- like this one in terms of its capabilities in this performance in the ascetic it's better yes it's it's worth the money -- it's only worth the money in my checking for very small fraction of the public it's still. But my father and my mom like mainstream just it's not gonna catch on its two bits to robots."

" Did you say yeah well I think I could build the media center for under a thousand. But I agree with all the updates that yet you computers crash all the issues. I think the average consumer which is in my -- a television -- cute like -- in just thinking yeah it -- cool. But Mike Mike DVR which is from the cable company has crashed and that a lot and his -- back up like this yeah really Peter out. Very big issue actually to be honest I should with a power supply -- yeah -- not too much stuff was running in any overheated and killed it so I should replace it. So yes it is -- when stuff like that happens and it will it's a computer now. And that outlook the bad techno -- on my front I've blown through three computer in the last year yes. It -- literally just stop working and that's what happens is a pain in the ass if it's in but found your television getting worse. So why do you but at the same time from a like storing all your media in one place perspective and I think the computer's best way to do it I did -- other -- Andrew and I did you like you know I think -- like Apple TV was great but it's still limited and this is like. You know it's everything's right -- can copy stuff in both directions it's often yeah I thought I still think it's a great. That just prices have come down. And Microsoft that's -- something that never crashes."

" Good let -- that it -- next I'll look at some iPod accessories I don't necessary at least. When one."

" So watching an entire movie on a tiny iPod is really cool but we got some then they'll make that even back."

" So this may look like an old school clunky portable dvd player but it's not. It's a split screen made specifically for -- Yet I think. So let's drop some numbers for the geeks here it has an eight point four inch LCD with the port eighty by 234 native resolution and 350 by one contrast ratio. It has S video and line out jacks and dual head turned towards. If you think all your media can be displayed -- through the I -- your in for a rude awakening you can -- your favorite -- with built in speakers but album art and song titles will not appear on the big screen. You can view photos too but you have to navigate through your iPod good. Battery life is just over five hours and that's pretty much all there is say about the -- He didn't charge your iPod unless it's plugged directly into the wall so. I'm still looking very reason. To -- feels clunky and cheap one of these days you might just break it off. And sometimes it -- doesn't popping correctly and you can tell this when your videos black and white and not collect. Sony I plan is just not worth the tuner -- the biggest problem have to do with compression it just doesn't look at. It's heavily artifact didn't actually didn't. Okay so the I'll let me Abby my cup of tea but the Phillips this is where it's at it as a whole lot more relaxed. Unlike I flipped it point four inch screen that Phillips it is only seven inches but with the same port eighty by 234 resolution. 300 by one contrast ratio display. It also has a cool swivel screen so -- the film is also a dvd player and it plays other formats including DivX access and and pay for it. It has pictures TVs and and CD's. If you're like are in danger of crew who watched tons of -- dramas it placed thirteenth files subtitles for non geeks. And it'll put stuff on and then C -- SD -- So when it comes to battery life to get about two point five hours for dvds in about five hours for your iPod. The biggest problem is at the batteries six so he can't swap that would here on the -- There's a sleek looking remote control to handle your dvds and where you'd -- the control is where the iPod -- it doesn't control the iPod. And it's useless wild -- Duplicating the built in controls but that's not a deal breaker some might say the -- and docking is Lindsay and sheep but I call it functionally simple. Here's one caveat to that it's you are charging your iPod and cannot watch dvds. This is -- do everything dvd player with an iPod dock in in my opinion it's a better choice."

" So I know we take a look at a lot of iPod accessories but the isn't actually eat. Well I like."

" And I think he's actually the titles function iPod accessory accessories can you know you speakers and things like that. I know what we live with we will look at -- I know we will but it still I feel like these two Cingular thing and then ended it that the reason and the I -- I didn't care for either and for the same reason it's just does one thing. Until Phillips -- a few things and I I I think it's great and I went to New York a few weeks ago and it -- that's -- they took actually."

" Had DirecTV. And boy does that help pass the time share yes anywhere they go and we and I actually do you travel a lot so. You know these types of devices really do you make time just Obama exactly it is it is a thank you for watching dvd or. A video like podcast like our podcast again. It would be if -- however I got I got to bring it up like I travel with my laptop and very -- in the dvd and that. And I can probably pull from my iTunes. You know library that would have movies on it -- yeah. So I still don't know what I'm gonna be carrying again when -- asked -- travel when Karen ton of devices are anyhow my Blackberry which is you know yeah helps really condense a lot of other gadgets for me but. When it comes says media and still think I'm going to want to -- my laptop but that you play economy. I know right did I --"

" He's to have it -- original book I couldn't open it when that guy and the front is deceived by the people to see that. Did of this place -- with them and I'm planning I I don't seventeen intentionally works for me 'cause I can I cannot fit comfortably with a laptop -- you know and and when they bring the food that it brings this up well that's true you can't any router upper Idaho it so I thought that this this is actually went to New York actually took. A dvd relative. I mean I took no computer I was disconnected before days if cramming yes it was weird that everything was we got -- yeah I put. I yeah so -- I took a look at high Def can quarter."

" For consumers. Wow wow world."

" Canon says this is the best selling consumer high definition cam -- on the market."

" It's the HV 28 feet when he uses the -- specifically for people who of the world. An optical image stabilizer for his hand when you -- ten X optical do. If it before it kept me LTD like you did play the what is all really mean. Basically that they be about and ordered it -- great quality and video. The sensors have a resolution of nineteen point like Canadian shows you're an eighty. Perfect venue high Def TV you just -- there is however a -- that. You're progressively get up to the point where he would do more film like look otherwise you'd have to do 1080 -- He uses Ph.D. V format on the paid for their significant compression going on make it fit. Still video look awesome that you can't -- in -- the 4500 dollar camera. In all fairness he what you that hitting me right now has a resolution -- to -- heavy. So they've been quite yet -- there. However there's three chips to that you like you so that all the low like it better wear these -- playbook coming grainy. The consumer camera there's no manual focus group or do without manual functions like flight bound charter apathetic. They're manual focus food but you'll have seen this little dial none of this is -- deal breaker for. And then also include the hottest veterans who like to jot -- night but you have to pop the lid off -- you can go visit it and -- and careful. There's -- AV port through the -- Single film by four out for the standard television break TV they're into your mind. Eight -- twenty record about hours -- would put it on a single chart and this can be a lot less than he paused frequently. -- destiny and battery. It's also a three megapixel still camera complete with a built in flash skills are stored on a mini SD card and -- video. Overall like -- feet when he's a great deal ready by that want to -- their home video of the high definition. And for the young budding field what's out there you'll probably find you sports news despite the fact definitely on the name -- But the best thing is that right 1100 dollar then that's our people can probably find on the street under a grant."

" And."

" So honestly of the footage is amazing you guys are watching it as it's compressed with the raw footage I was watching it online. I was watching on TV and it actually. As you know the card is. Driving and it's canning outside the blast you actually feel like you're in the car and it's like that three dimensional it gives me lives it really does make me. Want to purchase it even -- that 1100 dollar cost because the quality that you're getting it's not it's let her."

" Bob did you think about like if you -- to a mini dvd yeah it's about as I that price for considering the quality you arguing. But it is one thing you know they'll wouldn't she like she did the windshield. All the dirt."

" Pixar everybody that you could see the bugs -- actually the film on it really washes out it's again really makes you feel like you're experiencing -- through the eyes -- of it yet know the cameras that can just feel like you're there it's eighth after the bugs and all bugs knowledge of really I think."

" It's great only issue with that with -- which -- people cheapest but agent such a few small percentage of people I've added it. When you thieves had a with a stack of tapes yeah interest."

" And another point for me because reworking media is that. It's such great quality video it actually when he used it for broadcast tepid stuff but it doesn't have enough audio -- it doesn't have like an NFL -- yeah it does in -- can't do any good audio with it for -- for consumers it's fine for now you want. --"

" Although it handles on the video I've been I'm not an idea and actually there's a manual control like a man who controls are really limited except for. Like yacht like you can do like it snapped to what they call snap soon and stuff like that sells them yet but if you're just doing my job. -- fuel for the just and it just like. Gorgeous gorgeous footage it says I think it's gorgeous vacation video footage I think -- great yet I think I think people like me that needs to happen now though is you'd edit the video and you get -- television. You put it back really back onto the camera and then put your camera because there's no way to burn to death right. They'll let you buy Blu-ray Bradley an F 500 there's something there's all these issues with high definition today yes even Elvis. All the stuff great stuff which is time we give all together it'll happen what I can dots is that -- connecting -- that in looks it looks great but. Next we give away free time free time -- I just have -- this ahead. This is something I went shopping for that and iChat that the electronics store and you know when I come across something that's ridiculous -- I just happen by a hump so that okay check it out. And nine and it's gonna hurt me. It is that US BO you can actually plug in. Audio -- either."

" We're giving it away any other information. While -- like with the newest little what is what do you want to do an art to when this is -- an evening and he's an innovative technology."

" What email us at about giving -- all you got to do it -- get email us."

" Is your question."

" There is it's just isn't worth the question I give you that I'm wondering you've got many people want something like that oh my god yes. I like how they have to sign and I absolutely and -- to give it to be at individual online dot com and I'll just pick this pick a random one anyone the world. If you're from the UK OK you can buy this anyway so why would book father but hey you can you -- take this or spouse anything you should thing."

" and at this point we also want to say thank you to. Our sponsors godaddy and Netflix and that's -- check out those emotions at the top of the show you want to display it. Thanks for watching thanks for downloading we will see you next time though.

So yes it is -- when stuff like that happens and it will it's a computer now. And that outlook the bad techno -- on my front I've blown through three computer in the last year yes. It -- literally just stop working and that's what happens is a pain in the ass if it's in but found your television getting worse. So why do you but at the same time from a like storing all your media in one place perspective and I think the computer's best way to do it I did -- other -- Andrew and I did you like you know I think -- like Apple TV was great but it's still limited and this is like. You know it's everything's right -- can copy stuff in both directions it's often yeah I thought I still think it's a great. That just prices have come down. And Microsoft that's -- something that never crashes."

" Good let -- that it -- next I'll look at some iPod accessories I don't necessary at least. When one."

" So watching an entire movie on a tiny iPod is really cool but we got some then they'll make that even back."

" So this may look like an old school clunky portable dvd player but it's not. It's a split screen made specifically for -- Yet I think. So let's drop some numbers for the geeks here it has an eight point four inch LCD with the port eighty by 234 native resolution and 350 by one contrast ratio. It has S video and line out jacks and dual head turned towards. If you think all your media can be displayed -- through the I -- your in for a rude awakening you can -- your favorite -- with built in speakers but album art and song titles will not appear on the big screen. You can view photos too but you have to navigate through your iPod good. Battery life is just over five hours and that's pretty much all there is say about the -- He didn't charge your iPod unless it's plugged directly into the wall so. I'm still looking very reason. To -- feels clunky and cheap one of these days you might just break it off. And sometimes it -- doesn't popping correctly and you can tell this when your videos black and white and not collect. Sony I plan is just not worth the tuner -- the biggest problem have to do with compression it just doesn't look at. It's heavily artifact didn't actually didn't. Okay so the I'll let me Abby my cup of tea but the Phillips this is where it's at it as a whole lot more relaxed. Unlike I flipped it point four inch screen that Phillips it is only seven inches but with the same port eighty by 234 resolution. 300 by one contrast ratio display. It also has a cool swivel screen so -- the film is also a dvd player and it plays other formats including DivX access and and pay for it. It has pictures TVs and and CD's. If you're like are in danger of crew who watched tons of -- dramas it placed thirteenth files subtitles for non geeks. And it'll put stuff on and then C -- SD -- So when it comes to battery life to get about two point five hours for dvds in about five hours for your iPod. The biggest problem is at the batteries six so he can't swap that would here on the -- There's a sleek looking remote control to handle your dvds and where you'd -- the control is where the iPod -- it doesn't control the iPod. And it's useless wild -- Duplicating the built in controls but that's not a deal breaker some might say the -- and docking is Lindsay and sheep but I call it functionally simple. Here's one caveat to that it's you are charging your iPod and cannot watch dvds. This is -- do everything dvd player with an iPod dock in in my opinion it's a better choice."

" So I know we take a look at a lot of iPod accessories but the isn't actually eat. Well I like."

" And I think he's actually the titles function iPod accessory accessories can you know you speakers and things like that. I know what we live with we will look at -- I know we will but it still I feel like these two Cingular thing and then ended it that the reason and the I -- I didn't care for either and for the same reason it's just does one thing. Until Phillips -- a few things and I I I think it's great and I went to New York a few weeks ago and it -- that's -- they took actually."

" Had DirecTV. And boy does that help pass the time share yes anywhere they go and we and I actually do you travel a lot so. You know these types of devices really do you make time just Obama exactly it is it is a thank you for watching dvd or. A video like podcast like our podcast again. It would be if -- however I got I got to bring it up like I travel with my laptop and very -- in the dvd and that. And I can probably pull from my iTunes. You know library that would have movies on it -- yeah. So I still don't know what I'm gonna be carrying again when -- asked -- travel when Karen ton of devices are anyhow my Blackberry which is you know yeah helps really condense a lot of other gadgets for me but. When it comes says media and still think I'm going to want to -- my laptop but that you play economy. I know right did I --"

" He's to have it -- original book I couldn't open it when that guy and the front is deceived by the people to see that. Did of this place -- with them and I'm planning I I don't seventeen intentionally works for me 'cause I can I cannot fit comfortably with a laptop -- you know and and when they bring the food that it brings this up well that's true you can't any router upper Idaho it so I thought that this this is actually went to New York actually took. A dvd relative. I mean I took no computer I was disconnected before days if cramming yes it was weird that everything was we got -- yeah I put. I yeah so -- I took a look at high Def can quarter."

" For consumers. Wow wow world."

" Canon says this is the best selling consumer high definition cam -- on the market."

" It's the HV 28 feet when he uses the -- specifically for people who of the world. An optical image stabilizer for his hand when you -- ten X optical do. If it before it kept me LTD like you did play the what is all really mean. Basically that they be about and ordered it -- great quality and video. The sensors have a resolution of nineteen point like Canadian shows you're an eighty. Perfect venue high Def TV you just -- there is however a -- that. You're progressively get up to the point where he would do more film like look otherwise you'd have to do 1080 -- He uses Ph.D. V format on the paid for their significant compression going on make it fit. Still video look awesome that you can't -- in -- the 4500 dollar camera. In all fairness he what you that hitting me right now has a resolution -- to -- heavy. So they've been quite yet -- there. However there's three chips to that you like you so that all the low like it better wear these -- playbook coming grainy. The consumer camera there's no manual focus group or do without manual functions like flight bound charter apathetic. They're manual focus food but you'll have seen this little dial none of this is -- deal breaker for. And then also include the hottest veterans who like to jot -- night but you have to pop the lid off -- you can go visit it and -- and careful. There's -- AV port through the -- Single film by four out for the standard television break TV they're into your mind. Eight -- twenty record about hours -- would put it on a single chart and this can be a lot less than he paused frequently. -- destiny and battery. It's also a three megapixel still camera complete with a built in flash skills are stored on a mini SD card and -- video. Overall like -- feet when he's a great deal ready by that want to -- their home video of the high definition. And for the young budding field what's out there you'll probably find you sports news despite the fact definitely on the name -- But the best thing is that right 1100 dollar then that's our people can probably find on the street under a grant."

" And."

" So honestly of the footage is amazing you guys are watching it as it's compressed with the raw footage I was watching it online. I was watching on TV and it actually. As you know the card is. Driving and it's canning outside the blast you actually feel like you're in the car and it's like that three dimensional it gives me lives it really does make me. Want to purchase it even -- that 1100 dollar cost because the quality that you're getting it's not it's let her."

" Bob did you think about like if you -- to a mini dvd yeah it's about as I that price for considering the quality you arguing. But it is one thing you know they'll wouldn't she like she did the windshield. All the dirt."

" Pixar everybody that you could see the bugs -- actually the film on it really washes out it's again really makes you feel like you're experiencing -- through the eyes -- of it yet know the cameras that can just feel like you're there it's eighth after the bugs and all bugs knowledge of really I think."

" It's great only issue with that with -- which -- people cheapest but agent such a few small percentage of people I've added it. When you thieves had a with a stack of tapes yeah interest."

" And another point for me because reworking media is that. It's such great quality video it actually when he used it for broadcast tepid stuff but it doesn't have enough audio -- it doesn't have like an NFL -- yeah it does in -- can't do any good audio with it for -- for consumers it's fine for now you want. --"

" Although it handles on the video I've been I'm not an idea and actually there's a manual control like a man who controls are really limited except for. Like yacht like you can do like it snapped to what they call snap soon and stuff like that sells them yet but if you're just doing my job. -- fuel for the just and it just like. Gorgeous gorgeous footage it says I think it's gorgeous vacation video footage I think -- great yet I think I think people like me that needs to happen now though is you'd edit the video and you get -- television. You put it back really back onto the camera and then put your camera because there's no way to burn to death right. They'll let you buy Blu-ray Bradley an F 500 there's something there's all these issues with high definition today yes even Elvis. All the stuff great stuff which is time we give all together it'll happen what I can dots is that -- connecting -- that in looks it looks great but.
