Today's Show:
Today is our one year anniversary. It's hard to
believe that we've already been doing this for a whole year. We'd
like to thank all of our listeners for being so supportive and
helpful. Here's to another great year. Imagine what the
HDTV and Home Theater landscape will look like this time next year...
For our one year show, the HT Guys decided to dream a little.
Here's what each of us would like to see in the perfect, all-in-one
Home Theater device.
Braden:
1. CableCARD slot
2. ATSC tuner
3. Built-in DVR
4. Ability to increase storage capacity
5. Built-in surround sound processing
6. A DVD (HD-DVD/Blu-ray) player
7. External inputs with upscaling for passing legacy or new devices
thru the box
8. Streaming capabilities to stream content to other devices, or play
content from other devices
9. An Internet connection for downloading movies
10. Ability to stream music out to other devices (wired or wireless)
while watching something else
11. Easy IR control
12. A web interface to control it all
Ara:
1. DBS Tuner for Dish Network and DirecTV (both mpeg4 and mpeg2)
2. Cable Card Slot
3. ATSC Tuner
4. DCDi (Directional Correlation Deinterlacing) by
Faroudja Video Processing with the image upscaled to 720p 1080i or
1080p
5. HDMI 1.2 specification support with HDCP support (HDMI
1.2 has several changes to better support the PC industry)
6. Dolby True HD and DTS HD decoding
7. Multimedia Software (Video Recording (from any of the TV
sources) and playback, Music ripping and playback, DVD ripping and
playback. In other words Front Row on massive Steroids)
8. Support for Movies on Demand, IPTV and Internet radio
9. Very Large Hard Drive with the ability to add
external Firewire or USB drive.
10. Combined Blu Ray and HD DVD player
11. Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11N
12. Serve all content to any networked device including
over the Internet
13. Web Browser support including control interface that
is available over the Internet. This is similar to the web interface
for
setting up wireless routers.
14. 4 button remote control ;-) Seriously full function
RF Remote.
If you have an idea for a feature we missed, send us an email.
Listen to the show
for the full discussion.
