AV After Dark #6: Opinions Change

October 28th, 2010 3 comments

This week Tom podcasts with the HT Guys. Netflix, Apple TV, and AirPlay. The guys weigh in on which box they’d most likely buy – Boxee, Roku, or Google TV. Tom’s got new speakers on the way, the guys have new displays, and Tom is unconvinced his opinion won’t change in a month or two. Thanks for listening. You can find AV Rant at their website (AVRant.com). Thanks to listener Ted for both the Intro and Outro music. Check out more of his work at www.thesysmusic.com.

AV After Dark #4: The High Cost of 3D

April 19th, 2010 Comments off

Braden’s computer cut out early in the podcast so it’s only Tom and Ara this time. Netflix weighs in heavily in this podcast with a bit on their migration to the Wii and how they’ve signed more deals that delay new releases. What does that mean for you now and what do Ara and Tom think that holds for the future? Ara has some suggestions on HD Camcorders. What is the real cost of 3D? How will they get you to buy? Would you shop at a Brick and Mortar Circuit City? Thanks for listening. You can find the HT Guys at their website and AV Rant right here. We really enjoy these collaborations and hope you do too.

February 18th, 2010 4 comments

Welcome to the third installment of AV After Dark. Tom had childcare issues this week so we have this for you instead of a normal Tom/Dina offering. This time they guys discuss the Olympics and how it differs from market to market. What sport are Ara and Tom fans of? You’ll never guess (or maybe you will). Is there a future for OLED? What is Hulu doing right, what are they doing wrong? What about Netflix? They guys weigh in. Panasonic black levels are addressed as are recommendations for displays. Ara went to Mecca… we mean Macworld. Thanks for listening. You can find the HT Guys at their website and AV Rant right here. We really enjoy these collaborations and hope you do too.

AV After Dark #2: Slow Descent

December 28th, 2009 3 comments

On this second edition of AV After Dark, we slowly degenerate into cruder humor until Ara pulls the plug. Someone has to be the adult we suppose. Is online the future of content delivery? Tom, Ara, and Braden weigh in. PlayOn – never pay full price. Bitstream or PCM your Blu-ray? Orb Audio – does sex sell speakers? McIntosh is bringing back the boom box. Toilet paper iPod dock – on Braden’s Christmas list. Thanks for listening and everyone have a happy New Year. You can find the HT Guys at their website and AV Rant right here. We really enjoy these collaborations and hope you do too. Thanks to listener Ted for both the Intro and Outro music. Check out more of his work at www.thesysmusic.com.
