Kodak Theater HD Player Updated
For those of you with the Kodak Theater HD, an update has arrived, bringing 1080p! Kodak has also included more features in the update such as: YouTube access with search for videos by keyword, author, featured, top-rated, and more. Net Video access to online entertainment, and Discovery collage views, a new way to rediscover photos collected on your PC.
Powerline Outage
Tom’s Guide goes into great detail into reviewing powerline products, from its start to where it is right now. Here is the gist of the review:
PowerLine AV will work to stream video—even HD video—from one source to one target when PowerLine AV enters the picture. But given its relatively meager practical throughput of between 2.3 and 10.0 MB/s (or 16.6 to 80.0 Mb/s, if you prefer megabits to megabytes per second) it isn’t on par with GbE, 802.11n, or 802.11g.
I’d be wary of using it in households where more than one HD video stream is likely to be active on the network at any given moment or where lots of traffic is routinely on the move.
When Tom’s Guide is able to test a MoCA setup, it will most likely come in right behind Gigabit Ethernet, but leagues in front of wireless and especially powerline.
