Furthering its TV Freedom™ initiative for consumers, Channel Master announced today the launch of a new DVR+ model that includes a 1TB internal hard drive. The company previously launched the 16GB model, which requires the user to provide an external USB hard drive, at the International CES in Las Vegas in January. Both DVR+ models are subscription-free.
PHOENIX, AZ – June 26, 2014 – Channel Master extends subscription-free TV Freedom™ solution to Aereo subscribers with offer that includes a free antenna and discounted DVR. The offer comes in the wake of yesterday’s Supreme Court decision that sided with broadcasters over Aereo, stating that the service is not legal.
TechLore is simply short for Technology Folklore. The goal of the TechLore community is to capture and preserve the knowledge of the digital ages, specifically as it relates to consumer electronics.
From where we sit, this seems necessary and perhaps even inevitable. We hear the same story over and over again:
If you are not familiar with the Channel Master DVR + its an Over the Air Digital Video Recorder you connect to a digital antennae to view and record television channels.
It does this all without the need of a paid subscription service. We recently got our hands on one and tested it out. We found that not only was it easy to setup but is also easy to use. The DVR itself is the smallest DVR we have ever tested.
It is very thin and compact but at the same time feels very sturdy due to the metal casing.
Novemeber 8th marked Microsoft's re-emergence in the smartphone space with the debut of Windows Phone 7. Microsoft isn't new to smartphones; their Windows Mobile operating system has been powering phones long before companies like Apple and Google joined the fray. However, somewhere along the lines Microsoft fell behind in modern phone making trends. Windows Mobile just wasn't as attractive to people in post iPhone world.
Since upgrading to a new Windows Phone 7 smartphone last November, my aged AT&T 8525 Windows Mobile 6 device has done nothing but museum duties (filling space on a shelf). It's a shame to see decent tech serve no purpose. I won't argue with anyone that the old Windows Mobile OS isn't up to the same level of on-the-go user friendliness of modern phones like the iPhone, Android, and Windows Phones, but that doesn't mean it's now a useless hunk of plastic.
