Portable Idiot Box – 20. October, 2009

Okay, let me just admit this: I read Nikki Finke.

Now, if you read her site recently and managed to shove past all the industry rumors and executive swaps there was a tiny story reporting that the Advanced Television Systems Committee just approved a mobile DTV standard.

So why should you or I care? Well, were you excited by the iPod Nano with built-in FM tuner? No, me neither, but I was excited by the possibility (actually, I kinda was but I’m trying to dramatize my point).

Well, what if you could use your iPod to tune into your local Fox station to watch FINGE? We are now one step closer to that possibility.

F**king awesome!

Happy DTV Day! – 12. June, 2009

Do you hear that sound? It’s faint but if you’re very, very quiet you can hear a gaggle of grannies bellowing, “where are my stories?!”

But not you because you’re ready for DTV-Day. Yes, after years of anticipation, a few stumbles and a handful of delays, President Obama pushed the big button and all our television sets just went digital.

How does this affect me? It doesn’t. I have a TV but I only use it to watch DVDs. It’s not hooked up to anything else (no cable, not even rabbit ears). Where do I watch all my TV? Why on Hulu, of course.

How is the DTV switch affecting you?
