Airtight for Google TV

Airtight for GoogleTV

A new app has hit the Android market. Airtight offers Airplay for Mac functionality to Google TV allowing the user to stream/move photos and video from their iPhone or iPad up to their TV screen.  This was one of the very nice Apple only features that Apple TV brought to the table that no other manufacturer could.  Despite the lackluster reviews of the new version of Google TV it did bring us … [Read more...]

Slingplayer for Logitech Revue

Logitech Revue with Google TV

A few months back we talked about the Slingplayer, an app for the iPad/iPhone that would let you view your home television across the internet with the help of you Slingbox at home.  It sounded like a pretty neat little application, but one that we at Red Dwarf Media have not tested yet.  That does not mean we can't pass along some interesting news.  It appears that Slingbox has released a … [Read more...]

My Logitech Revue Finally Updated

Google TV

I received an email yesterday from Logitech stating the Google TV update was here.  I figured this was another blanket email letting users know what was coming and what they could expect, but the wording was slightly different giving me hope that this was the real thing.  I turned on my Logitech Revue this morning to find the update waiting for me.  Finally! The release date was pushed back … [Read more...]

Logitech says Google TV Update Coming Soon – Again

Logitech Revue for $99

Logitech has once again sent out an email stating that the Google TV upgrade is on its way.  This time they go as far as stating it will arrive before the holidays.  This rings a little hollow since we also received an email prior to Halloween stating that the update is on its way. The disconcerting thing for me is that the indication is that anyone purchasing a new Logitech Revue will get … [Read more...]

Logitech to Discontinue the Revue

Logitech Revue for $99

After a year of disappointment the Logitech Revue is no more.  Logitech has announced that they will sell off their remaining supply but have no further plans to produce any more of the failed media center devices.  Originally I refused to review the device given its cost, but once they dropped the price to one hundred dollars I felt obliged to give it a try.  You can check out the Red Dwarf … [Read more...]

Google TV Update is Almost Here

Google TV

The much anticipated and perhaps overhiped update to Google TV is almost here.  While it redesigns the interface and opens up the Google app store most initial reports indicate that this update will not do much to bring this product in line with other $100 media center devices.  As of this morning, the update was still not available on my Logitech Revue. Read the annoucement from Google TV … [Read more...]

Google TV looks to broaden market

Google TV

With rampant speculation about the future of Google TV, the chief executives have at least put one question to rest.  Google TV is here to stay.  With the purchase of Motorola, Google is looking to add Google TV to the Motorola DVR devices.  In addition Google TV has tentatively, if not vaguely, announced their move into the European market.  The real trick is getting … [Read more...]

SlingPlayer for Google TV

SlingBox

For those of you new to the concept of a Slingbox, let me explain.  The Slingbox allows you to stream your TV service across the internet to whereever you are.  You can watch your home TV in Seattle from an iPad at your hotel in Atlanta for example.  I have not tested out the power of Slingbox yet but with this new product they are working on it now seems to fit right in with what I want to … [Read more...]

Logitech Revue steps into the ring with $100 Media Center

Logitech Revue for $99

The Logitech Revue featuring Google TV just slashed its price from $299 to $99 bringing it inline with other media center devices that I have tested.  The price break makes it a direct competitor to the Roku and Apple TV.  Looks like I have another challenger for the $100 Media Center Crown. … [Read more...]
