Wow what a show this week. You wouldn’t know for looking at it, but there was a lot to cover and this show ended up being in contention for the longest on record. Which partly because we just couldn’t stop speaking about Media Center’s new capability to record without DRM from CableCARD. But there was also plenty of talk about RVU, Managed Copy and DVRs in general. At one point we even took issue with claims by the chat room and really let ‘em have it — but we doubt we got through to them. We could go on and one about the other topics, but really, you should just have a listen for yourself. It’ll be a good listen too as the man who cares about each Television show, explains why he even watches shows he doesn’t like, yes really.

Oh, the beauty of progress. Just a few months back, Epson seemed fairly content showing off an HTPS panel with a WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution, though today that very product just seems lackluster. Up until now, 4K x 2K projectors were reserved strictly for cinemas, businesses and consumers with a) more money than sense and b) room for a 200-pound beamer in their basement. The planet’s first 4K-compatible high-temperature polysilicon (HTPS) TFT liquid crystal panel for 3LCD projectors measures just 1.64-inches and supports displays with resolutions as high as 4,096 x 2,160. Your guess is as good as ours as to when this stuff will actually hit the market in a functioning product, but yesterday is as good a day as any to start saving up.

Although Moxi hasn’t really taken a piece of our heart, it has kept its promise of updates with the third one due just before the holiday season. The most notable news today from Moxi’s new owner Arris though is a new three tuner HD DVR, which we believe is the first to break the two tuner barrier (that isn’t PC based). The new model is only available bundled with either one, or two Moxi Mates for $799 or $999. You can still buy the dual tuner version by itself which now retails for $499 instead of $799 — don’t forget, Moxi doesn’t charge service fees — and the Moxi Mate itself is now $299 instead of $399. The bad news it that the no interest payment options are off the table. The best news for existing Moxi owners is that the Fall update brings Live Television streaming to the Moxi Mate as well as new recording defaults, but we continue to wait for the capability to customize the Recorded Television list. All in all, Moxi has made much progress since we did our review, but our biggest gripe goes unaddressed, but then again we really didn’t expect Moxi to redesign the entire UI just because we didn’t enjoy it.

A good idea is worthless without adoption and we’re glad to hear that ZillionTV has signed Paramount, which means that all six major studios are on board. Of course we still don’t know how much we’re actually going to enjoy ZillionTV because although streaming content for free or ad-supported sounds like a new approach, who knows how it’ll work. We do think we’d love the choice of either watching ads or paying if that is what’s actually going to happen. According to HMM, at least in regards to Paramount, some content will be available for rent or buy while other content will be ad-supported. If this is going to be the case for all the content, then we’re sure the ZillionTV will look great in our attic sitting next to our Moviebeam.

Bang & Olufsen may be irrelevant to those with annual salaries having fewer than six digits to the left of the decimal (or comma, if that’s how you roll), but even the laypeople can’t help but drool at a spectacle such as this. The BeoVision 10 has just landed down across the pond at Electric Pig, and they were kind enough to snap a few shots and show ‘em to the world. The
