Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 950q Hybrid TV Stick
The WinTV-HVR 950q is a USB-based TV tuner adapter for either towers or laptops. It allows the user to bring over-the-air High Definition ATSC digital stations, or even your analog cable signals into your computer for viewing and recording. For the purpose of this review I'm going to be calling the WinTV-HVR 950q the HVR for short.

Tekkeon NavDock
Almost everyone has an iPod that is usually jam packed with MP3's, pictures, home videos, iTunes videos and other media available on the iTunes music store. There are many cable solutions to share this media as well as many companies that make dock systems for displaying this media on a TV. The Tekkeon NavDock is one of the best and cleanest dock that I've ever tested. The user interface is clean, straight forward and quite responsive to control.

Consumers are slowly starting to find out the benefits of Windows Media Center (WMC).

DLink DSM 330 DivX Connected HD Media Player
Since its inception as a bit of a pirate codec, DivX has come along in leaps and bounds, and matured very nicely to the point it is now well respected. Indeed, DivX HD has garnered much praise as a vehicle for Internet-based video with much less overhead than its rivals. With this in mind, the new DLink DSM 330 DivX Connected HD Media Player makes an interesting addition to a home theater setup.
