Recent postsWas Toshiba right to state that Blu-ray is not going to replace the venerable DVD on the way to movie downloads and VOD? Judging by Blu-ray player sales, it now seems like a very possible scenario.
Still being happy with DVD discs, I have supported that there are many good reasons to not adopt the Blu-ray [...]
It seems that Nova, the only company offering Greek satellite programs, is finally getting some competition. A few days ago, OTE has applied to the Greek National Council for Radio and Television (NCRTV) for permission to emit satellite programs.
The new venture will use the existing HellaSat platform, but with a small difference. It will be [...]
So far 2008 is a good year for HD camcorders. The Canon HF10 was the first to break the deadlock and offer great performance for the AVCHD standard.

At CES 2008 there was no official press conference to declare that the HD war is over and Toshiba stated that it will battle on. However, nobody is fooled and the release of Blu-Ray’s spec 2.0 is an indirect confirmation that Sony et al actually now control the game. While spec 1.1 required a double [...]
It was about time to see a move favoring one of the two HD disc formats. Warner has failed to combine both Blu-Ray and HD-DVD on a single disc and at the same time feels the pressure from set-top boxes and download services.
