When most people think about transmitting data, they think of cables and wires. After all, all of the different components of a computer are held together with wires and cables. Even most peripherals are attached to computers using cords and cables. The same thing is true with home entertainment systems. In fact, it's not unusual for a home entertainment system to be made up of a TV, a VCR, a DVD player, a satellite receiver or cable box, and maybe a video game system. You add on the very realistic possibility of having the sound of all of those devices fed though a stereo system that consists of a CD player, a radio tuner, a tape deck, and speakers; and you're living room can contain a real mess of wires!

A mess of wires used to be an annoyance to sort through when it came time to make an addition or upgrade to your home entertainment system, but something that could be hidden inside of cabinets and ignored most of the time. Now though, thanks to flat panel HDTV display technology, home electronics don't get that kind of privacy. Flat Panel TV sets are best left out in the open where you can show of their slim design and stylish profile. Of course if you choose to hang your TV set on the wall like a picture, then you have the option of running cables to it through the wall, but most of us are even less adept at dealing with drywall and painting than we are at dealing with consumer electronics spaghetti. Therefore, hiding the cable in the wall isn't an option for a lot of us- especially if there's the possibility that we might want to move the TV at some point in the future.

The good news about all of this is that there's another way to get the TV programming from the receiver (or DVD player or video gaming system or. . .) besides cables. This is wireless technology.

Most people think of wireless technology as a way to get all of our computers and portable WiFi devices onto the Internet through a wireless router in our homes, or a way that we can surf the Internet at the coffee shop. But in reality, wireless technology is a pretty good way to transmit TV programming. Even TV programming that's as data intensive as HDTV can be transmitted wirelessly!

This shouldn't be too surprising when you think about the fact that TV programing, including HDTV programming, is transmitted without wires all the time. After all, for decades before cable TV technology hit the scene all TV was broadcast over the air. And satellite TV is technically a wireless technology as well. The trick in the case of transmitting TV programming across a room is doing it without a transmitter that would fry everyone in the room and without a satellite dish sitting on top of the TV set. Fortunately, existing wireless technology like what we use for computer networks can be adapted for this and many companies are already doing it.

This wireless video transmission technology is great news for anyone who doesn't want all of those cables marring the stylish look of their new HDTV set.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=645 Tue, 26 Aug 2008 11:50:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=644 High definition television has glorified really big electronic gadgets. After all, have of the appeal of HDTV is the ability to have an extremely large screen in your home that imitates the screen in a movie theater. One type of gadget that the latest technology provides that doesn't get nearly as much attention as HDTV- and not nearly as much attention as it deserves- is the portable video device.

High definition television has glorified really big electronic gadgets. After all, have of the appeal of HDTV is the ability to have an extremely large screen in your home that imitates the screen in a movie theater. One type of gadget that the latest technology provides that doesn't get nearly as much attention as HDTV- and not nearly as much attention as it deserves- is the portable video device.

Generally speaking, portable video devices fall into a relatively broad range of battery powered gadgets that can store video on some kind of internal storage media and then play it back on a built in color LCD screen. Loose interpretations of this definition could include mobile phones that can record video in the category of portable video devices, but generally portable video devices are gadgets that can download digital video files from other devices like computers and in some cases Digital Video Recorders. There are even some portable video devices that can download video directly from the Internet over WiFi connections, but that's still very much a budding technology.

The most popular type of gadget that can do this is probably the iPhone. The iPhone can download video from Apple's online store, iTunes, store that video on its eight gigabyte built in hard drive and then play it back on its screen. Even though it's the most popular, the iPhone is far from the only gadget that can do this and certainly wasn't the first. The video iPod that came before it was actually capable of doing the same thing and the iPod touch, which is just coming out now- shares the ability as well. One feature that the iPod touch and the iPhone share is the ability to stream video over a WiFi connection. This is a useful feature because it expands the selection of video that can be viewed on one of these gadgets far beyond the relatively limited selection offered on iTunes. For example, streaming video can be used to access TV shows through major networks or amateur videos through YouTube. Of course having to be within a wireless hot spot in order to do this is a major limitation.

Of course Apple doesn't have a monopoly when it comes to all of these different features and options. For example, a lesser known company named Archos makes a device with many of the same features of the iPod touch that has versions with larger storage capacities for comparable prices. The Archos 605 WiFi is one of these gadgets and it has the ability to browse the web on an Opera browser (the Apple products with WiFi capability have Safari) and even view PDF files. Plus, the Archos gadget can plug into a full sized TV set to display the contents of its screen there. That's a big bonus when it comes to making things easier to see and easier to read.

The impressive features that are built into these devices, and many others like them, speak to the incredible advances that have been made in the area of small electronics. HDTV screens may provide an impressive picture, but portable video devices combine impressive performance with impressive versatility!]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=644 Sun, 24 Aug 2008 11:41:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=643 High definition television has glorified really big electronic gadgets.

That's because HDTV is a flexible and cost effective way to have a home theater experience in your own home. Basically, HDTV combines all of the best point of a commercial movie theater and makes it easy to bring them all into the comfort of your own home. This is because HDTV sets have the same screen aspect ratio of 16:9 that big movie theater screens do and very high resolution pictures. Combine that with the fact that all HDTV programming features Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound in order to further envelop the audience in the action of what's happening on the screen, and you have an experience in your own home that truly reproduces what you'd find in a commercial movie theater.

If you're like a lot of people, you may be somewhat confused by the mention of HDTV programming in the preceding paragraph. This wouldn't be surprising considering that no that many people are aware that HDTV is really a separate TV format requiring programming that meets a different set of standards than normal TV programming. This is the one fact that the manufacturers and retailers of HDTV sets have failed to inform consumers about, and that lack of knowledge among consumers leads to them not getting the full home theater experience out of their HDTV sets at best, and returning the sets because they don't live up to expectations at worst.

The good news is that once you know that there is such a thing as programming that's designed specifically for High Definition Television sets, it's easy to get that programming. That's because many TV service providers offer HDTV channels, but if you really want to get the most possible channels without spending a fortune in monthly bills the best choice is Dish Network. That's because Dish Network has the largest selection of HDTV channels currently available and at great prices.

Currently Dish Network offers thirty one HDTV channels all in a single package that can be added onto just about any programming package. This is a really great resource for HDTV because it includes over fifty percent more high def channels than any other TV service provider can offer.

The content of those thirty one high def channels is also incredibly diverse. For example, there are a ton of different movie channels. One is devoted to horror movies and another is devoted to martial arts movies. There's even one devoted to movies special chosen for their appeal to the male psyche. You'll even get some of the most recent movies available through channels like HDNet Movies, Showtime HD, and HBO HD.

In addition to great movies you'll also get plenty of sports options. You'll get NFL Network HD, ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD, Rush HD for extreme sports, World Sport HD, and more. You'll even get educational programming from Equator HD and Discovery HD Theater.

Special interest programming covering a variety of hobbies is the real surprise for a lot of people. Dish Network provides programming that will feed your interest in fashion, art, video games, antiques, and home improvement to name just a few. Dish Network's HDTV offering are clearly superior to the rest.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=642 Wed, 20 Aug 2008 11:30:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=641
If it has been a long time since you've checked out the services that Comcast Cable Service provides, you may have missed out on the ideal solution to all of your communications and entertainment needs. Comcast has long been known for its excellent Cable television service, but the company now also provides both telephone and high speed Internet services.

You are guaranteed to be completely impressed by the high speed Internet access that this provider offers. With more choices for everything from entertainment to education opening up online, having a high speed connection is now a requirement. Dial up is just too slow to allow you to use the Internet in the ways that you want. And even DSL is too slow to truly keep up with the array of websites available. However, Comcast's high speed Internet connection runs almost a 100 times faster than a dial up connection and thus gives you the power to access sites that you couldn't access before. This connection speed is actually about 8 Megabytes per second, which is fast enough to allow you to download even full length movies or book length PDF files in just a few moments. This not only makes it possible for you to extend your entertainment possibilities, but it also allows you to access business forms, informational materials, and much more.

Because getting online requires patience against threats like viruses and spyware, Comcast offers options that allow you to keep your computer more secure. Each subscription comes with a free lifelong subscription to McAfee VirusScan and you can also opt to receive a firewall to further insure your computer against malicious threats. You can even keep your children safer when they are online with special access to kid-safe sites featuring music, games, and other safe content.

If you want to get the most out of your communications services, choosing Comcast for your telephone service is a really smart idea. Comcast offers special deals for subscribers who get this service along with one or more of the company's other services and the plans are specially designed to be extremely cost effective. For instance, every calling plan includes unlimited domestic long distance for a flat rate and even international calls are billed at extremely low rates.

Of course, phone service would not be the best unless you also received all of the convenient features that you are used to. That is why Comcast offers over 12 great features with every plan at no extra charge. From call waiting to caller ID you will be able to get the most out of your phone service. In fact, you even get free enhanced voice mail to make your life easier.

Comcast Cable still has a great cable television selection, which is now even better than ever. Recently the whole service was updated to digital, which allows for improved pictures and sound and more interactive choices. Plus, with a selection that now exceeds 280 channels, you are guaranteed to find more of the programming that you love. Special channels even provide the great quality of high definition television, HDTV, or On Demand programming.

You are sure to appreciate the service that Comcast Cable Service offers and even more pleased with the savings that the company can offer you. In fact, if you bundle your services under Comcast, you can receive an incredible level of savings and reduce the hassle of managing services by paying just one monthly bill.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=641 Mon, 18 Aug 2008 11:22:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=640

If you've been following the recent TV technology news to any extent, then you probably already know that there's a format war between Sony's Blu-ray high definition DVD format and the rival format from Toshiba which is called HD-DVD. These two formats can both use blue lasers to store and retrieve much larger amounts of data than conventional DVD's even though all three formats take advantage of discs that are the same size. This provides more than enough storage capacity for an entire high definition movie, plus its bonus features, to be stored on one disc. The problem comes from the fact that the two formats aren't compatible, it's generally agreed that only one format can come out on top, and there's a lot of money to be made by whoever has the winning format in the form of royalties.

This has led to a somewhat nasty fight on both sides to get more people interested in one format or the other. For example, Sony put a Blu-ray drive in its new Play Station 3 video game platform so that it could also serve as a Blu-ray player. The idea was that video gaming enthusiasts would buy the Play Station 3 for the video gaming and then buy movies on Blu-ray discs to play on it. Sony has also recently announced that its Blu-ray players will drop in price by the end of the year in an effort to solidify the lead that they already have.

Toshiba has also fought back with some help from Microsoft which has released an external HD-DVD drive for its Xbox 360 video gaming system which will allow it to serve as a high definition DVD player as well. Toshiba has also cut the price on one of its main HD-DVD players in order to preserve the price advantage that HD-DVD players have observed over Blu-ray players all along. For some reason, a supporter of the HD-DVD format also felt that announcing victory in the format war a few months ago would end the format war, but that obviously hasn't come to fruition.

While the format war definitely isn't over, there are a number of things indicating that it might come to an end soon. The price drops of Blu-ray players combined with the fact that Blu-ray discs have been outselling HD-DVD discs by two to one should be an indication that Blu-ray is winning. But the coming announcement of a double feature movie on Blu-ray disc might clinch it.

The fact that a Blu-ray disc can hold enough data to contain two full length movies in High Definition TV format, points out the superior data storage capacity of the Blu-ray format. Basically, Blu-ray discs can store twenty five gigabytes on each side of the disc, while HD-DVD discs can only store about fifteen gigabytes on each side. That's a difference of ten gigabytes per side and a massive twenty gigabytes per disc! Therefore on technological grounds alone Blu-ray should be the winner of the format war.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=639 Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:13:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=638
Touch screen technology isn't a particularly new development, but it's becoming more and more common among gadgets that are coming onto the market these days. Touch screens have actually existed in one form or another for a couple of decades now in the form of screens that could respond to light pens so that people could actually draw images or write directly onto their computer screens.

Some of the first gadgets that took full advantage of touch screen technology were the PDA's of the nineteen nineties with the touch sensitive screens and the styluses that were used to right on them. (These gadgets are actually still in existence today.) Since then, touch screens have found there way into laptop computers that work much like their smaller predecessors. These laptop computer have screens that can turn one hundred and eighty degrees and fold flat against the body of the computer, so that the entire device can be used as a tablet to write on.

Touch screen technology also serves as the primary input device for a new breed of computers that have all of the capabilities of normal laptop computer- some even run the memory hogging Windows Vista- but do away with the clam shell type design in favor of the screen being included in the body of these devices. The touch screen isn't the only type of input device on these tablet computers. They also have various buttons, and some even have small keyboards built in for thumb typing, but the touch screen does serve as a useful supplement to these other kinds of input devices.

The area in which touch screens show the greatest promise is in portable gadgets. One might wonder how portable gadgets could benefit from having touch screens built in. After all, smaller gadgets should have more limited functionality and therefore have less of a need for variety and flexibility among input devices. While it's true that smaller gadgets have traditionally had less functionality than larger ones, electronics technology has gotten to the point where the ability to put ample user interface features on a gadget is more of a limitation to how small it can get than the actual electronics that can be packed into a small size. For example, the limiting factor when it comes to making a smaller smart phone is more a function of the amount of space that the keypad and screen require.

Touch screen technology gets around that limitation by providing a way for to use the screen as an input device, thereby doing away with the keypad completely. This really serves two purposes. First it allows the screen to take up a greater proportion of the gadget's face. Second, it allows the keypad or keyboard to be minimized in size, or even eliminated completely!

There are a number of prominent gadgets that take advantage of touch screen technology to at least some extent. They include the Archos 605 WiFi, the Prada phone, and of course the iPhone. The iPod touch is also hot on the heals of the iPhone. As these gadgets become better recognized, we'll surely see more touch screen technology showing up in a wider variety of gadgets and settings.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=638 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 11:04:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=636
The United States is set to switch completely to digital over the air TV broadcasts as of February 17, 2009. When this happens, the analog signals that deliver most of the over the air TV content will cease. There will be a number of ramifications of this including the fact that a lot more electromagnetic bandwidth will be available for things like emergency services communications and municipal WiFi networks. These are definitely good things, but the transition won't be completely positive. The one major black mark making the transition to all digital TV signals is that the millions of analog TV sets- that lack digital tuners- will suddenly be unable to receive and display TV signals.

There are several remedies for this situation including the options of buying a new digital TV, subscribing to a satellite or cable TV provider (which will provide the necessary hardware to allow an analog only TV set to continue to function), but the most cost effective solution to this problem will be to buy a digital TV adapter box. Digital TV adapter boxes will receive the digital TV signals and then convert them to analog signals that the older TV sets can understand. This is clearly the option of choice for the federal government because of the fact that it will offer coupons that will put forty dollars towards the purchase of these adapters. A lot has been made of these digital to analog TV adapter boxes, but so far we only have a vague idea of what they look like or what they actually will do.

Now though, we have gotten a glimpse of what one of these digital to analog TV adapters will look like. That's because RCA recently unveiled an adapter box that it calls the RCA DTA800. The RCA DTA800 is basically a set top box that has connections for antenna inputs that will receive digital signals from over the air and analog outputs that will be fully compatible with older analog only TV sets.

The RCA DTA800 will also include a lot of extra features that you might be surprised to find on something that should be a simple conversion box. For example, the unit comes with what RCA calls a "SmartAntenna" that will supposedly help the unit to receive a coherent digital signal even in places where the signal doesn't come in as clearly as one might like. (This is an especially valuable feature because of the fact that digital signals will break up and become incoherent under conditions that would just make an analog signal unusually grainy.)

The RCA DTA800 also has a number of features that will make watching TV much more convenient. For example, this device will provide an electronic program guide that will make it much easier to decide what to watch than it is with analog TV. The unit will also provide various kinds of parental control software. In other words, this converter box includes many of the features that you might expect to find built into a satellite TV or cable TV converter box.

It's still unclear when the RCA DTA800 will be available or how much it will cost, but there's a good chance that the forty dollar government coupon won't cover the full cost of one of these units.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=636 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 10:42:00 -0400 http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=635
Thanks to recent technological developments it's now possible to get work done no matter where you are. That's because there are a lot of gadgets available that will let you set up an office just about wherever you want.

Laptop computers are the most obvious choices for these kinds of gadgets, and laptop computers are better for business applications than they've ever been before. That's because there really isn't anything that a desktop computer can do these days that a laptop computer can't do. Laptop computers have big, bright, full color displays that are much better than the screens that came with desktop computers even a relatively short time ago. Better still, many laptops have screens that have a wide screen aspect ration (16:9) and are capable of displaying High Definition Television images.

The wide screen format of these laptops is put to good use by their ability to play DVD's. Some gadgets even have high definition DVD drives that can play discs in either Blu-ray or HD DVD formats. (Dual drives that can play both haven't found their way onto laptop computers yet.) However, computers with that capability tend to be expensive and rather heavy. Of course displaying video, high def or otherwise, is entertainment rather than business, but such capabilities are a good demonstration of what modern laptop computers can do.

Perhaps a better example would be the video conferencing capabilities of laptop computers. Many laptop computers- even relatively affordable ones these days- come with digital cameras built in. These compact image capturing gadgets are mounted above the screens of the computers that have them and enable their users to compose videos as well as make video phone calls through VOIP services.

There are also a number of peripheral gadgets that can make laptop computers even more effective when it comes to portable office solutions. The most obvious peripheral is the printer, and there are portable printers available for making print outs while on the go. These tend to be compact gadgets that are powered off of the laptop computer or the twelve volt electrical socket you'd find in a vehicle.

Another clever peripheral device is a portable scanner. This scanner is self contained as far as power and memory so that it doesn't have to be hooked up to the computer to function. This gadget is shaped like a long pen and can be rolled over a document to scan it into the device's memory. The image that the portable scanner captures can then be transferred to the laptop for processing. This gadget can store multiple scanned images all at one time, scan in color and black and white, and has OCR (Optical Character Recognition) capabilities built into it as well.

Another great gadget is the cellular modem. This gadget allows a laptop computer to access the Internet from just about anywhere- at least anywhere that has line of sight to a cell phone tower. This gadget can come in the form of a special mobile phone that can be connected to a computer, a card that can be inserted in the computer, or a chipset that's built into the computer to begin with. No matter how it's implemented, having wireless high speed Internet access from just about anywhere.is a huge benefit for a home office.

With new gadgets like smart phones, it will be interesting to see how the range of the portable office extends.]]> Technology News http://www.newtechnologytv.com/index.php?itemid=635 Fri, 8 Aug 2008 10:36:00 -0400
