Entertainment 2.0 #91: Don’t Watch Cable Movies!

Back for #91!  It’s an email extravaganza this week and we walk right through all of your great communiqués.  We had some really great questions presented this week.  In fact, we got a few that Josh and I just don’t have the answer to.  That’s where you come in.  If after listening to the show you feel you can help people out, please leave a comment below.  Everything is better with a strong community!  And thanks in advance!

Entertainment 2.0 #90: Week of a Thousand Tuners

You’re getting the show a bit early this week!  I decided that since August 19th is the two year anniversary of the show, I didn’t want to miss it.  It was this day in 2008 that the audio adventure began.  Thanks for sticking with us all the way through!
This week’s title for the show comes straight from the content.  Between the Tuner Salad release and the fact that CableLabs recently decided to allow tuner sharing, it’s all tuners this week.  Check the links below for all the info!
Our 100th episode …

Entertainment 2.0 #89: Easing your Install

Let’s just face it.  The news this week revolves around one thing and one thing only:  people are finally starting to receive their Ceton InfiniTV4s!  Media Center users throughout the US are going nuts as these cards start to ship from retailers.  It’s taken some time to get them out but between the reported ease of use and the help we provide this week, you should be all set once you unbox that bad boy.
Josh and I are joined by Jeremy Hammer, VP of Systems Integration for Ceton this week.  …

Entertainment 2.0 #85: The Redcoats are Coming!

For the second week in a row Adam is off doing…well…maybe I don’t want to know what Adam is doing! He is however on a much a deserved vacation. We still have a great show this week for you though. Our regular listeners know that when it comes to digital media and how its produced and consumed in Europe, Adam and I aren’t what you would call “experts.” So this week we were able to convince a 100% certified Brit to stay up way past his bed time and come …

Entertainment 2.0 #84: Rednecktainment!

Since I’ll be on vacation next week and won’t be a part of the show, I really wanted to be here this week.  Unfortunately, refinishing hard wood floors means that other things had to take priority.  The best for you, the listener, is that my space is filled by Craig Scholle, a previous guest of the show.  Craig and Josh roll through the week’s news and other topics you’ll enjoy.  Between the impending rollout of Hulu Plus and discussing the future of Media Center, it’s an entertaining show to say …

Entertainment 2.0 #82: Xboxtainment 2.0

Media Center wasn’t to be seen this week.  With E3 running, it’s mostly gaming news but Microsoft did make some big content announcements and that’s what we take time to cover this week. 
With ESPN3 coming to Xbox, and being free for Gold Members, Josh and I go to town in regards to getting this content on multiple devices.  It seems that MS wants to limit you to one Xbox 360 (since services are tied to your Xbox Live account) and I’m of the mind that they need to …

Entertainment 2.0 #81: Gear and Such

Just some really quick notes this week folks.  If you didn’t join the live show then the episode title listed in the metadata for the show won’t make much sense, but that’s only because of some awesome editing. 
There was actually quite a bit of Media Center related news this week and you’ll find all the links below.  I’d take time to spell it all out here but I’ve got a trip to take today and didn’t want to delay getting this out to our listeners.  We cover …

Entertainment 2.0-Episode 79: The User Show and Then Some

I think I can say that we have a great show lined up this week folks.  Those who normally join us live might have noticed we weren’t there this past Tuesday.  That can happen when you need to conserve bandwidth so you can have two great guests join you to discuss their HTPCs and how they use Media Center.  Skype and Ustream both need upload and at times like these, there can be only one.  But it was completely worth it.
This week, Josh and I were joined by Ben …

Entertainment 2.0-Episode 76: The FAQ

It’s all about beginners this week.  After taking our stroll through the great email questions and voice mail we received, Josh and I take time to answer some of the basic questions that a new Media Center user might have.  We don’t get too deep as this is meant for people just getting started but there may be some useful information in there for everyone.  Below you’ll find links to some of the information covered which should help you get started.
