Speakercraft’s pod city, going green, with a vengeance.

DirecTV and TiVo are together again, with a new unit coming soon. It was a sad day when DirecTV and TiVo broke up a few years ago. They were the first receivers with a built-in DVR, and worked together seamlessly. But, when DirecTV started using...

You gotta wonder how TV makers decide what sizes their screens should be. Why does one manufacturer go for a 60-incher (cough, cough . . . Pioneer) while another goes for 58? Maybe someday, we'll try to find out for you. Till then . . . After...
