			<title>Roku Netflix Player</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/576/Roku-Netflix-Player/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[It&#039;s clear that the shortcomings are all Netflix-based, the greatest of all being selection.  They don&#039;t have a lot of recent content, and they have a lot of content rated three stars and worse.  Often with TV shows, they will have some but not all episodes of a season.  But they&#039;re adding things constantly, and generally expanding as fast as they can afford to.  By the time I thought I&#039;d watched everything I thought was worth my time, I checked again and found an equal quantity of media gems.  (Like Jesus Christ: Vampire Hunter.  How can that possibly go wrong!)  Of course, even that&#039;s not entirely up to Netflix, they have to prove to the developers and owners of the content that streaming is the way to go; there&#039;s a real &quot;we&#039;re all pulling together&quot; sense about this stuff.  There&#039;s potential.]]></description>

			<title>Logitech Squeezebox Duet Network Music System</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/529/Logitech-Squeezebox-Duet-Network-Music-System/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[This evolution of the Squeezebox should prove to be a winner for its new parent company.  All the makings of a good sequel are there; extra goodies, unexpected surprises, a flashy new look and a slimmer and trimmer appearance.  Logitech is unapologetically aiming squarely at Sonos with this one.  Are the two systems direct competitors?  Not exactly, but Logitech is bound to take a bite and woo away a few dollar conscious, tech savvy buyers. The included options and features are almost overwhelming to the average user.  Acclimating oneself to all the various settings and streaming music account configurations takes a bit of time but pays out in a multitude of listening options.  Once installed, Duet users will rarely need to fire up a browser for streaming music or launch an application to access their digital music reserve. If you are an obsessive hoarder of digital music files looking for a way to set them free, the Squeezebox Duet is tailor-made for your addiction.]]></description>

			<title>TiVo HD</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/447/TiVo-HD/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The TiVo HD is the mainstream consumer Series 3 TiVo. At $300, the device is more palatable to consumers who balked at an $800 price tag. The box has a smaller hard drive than the original Series 3 box, and doesn’t come with OLED screen, THX certification, or a fancy case. So how does a $300 HD set top box work? Well, I will say it wasn’t boring.]]></description>

			<title>Apple TV</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/392/Apple-TV/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[Last year, to much fanfare, Apple introduced the Apple TV (then called iTV) to the world. Breaking with Apple tradition, they announced it in September, long before the actual hardware release. The device is positioned as a set top box to hook up to your nice HD or widescreen TV. Six months after the first announcement, the Apple TV finally sees the light of day and we've got our hands on one. How does it play with my beta copy of Windows Home Server? Is it really worth $300 plus tax? Read on to find out how much I like it!]]></description>

			<title>Sonos Digital Music System</title>
			<link>http://www.thetechlounge.com/article/311/Sonos-Digital-Music-System/</link>
			<description><![CDATA[I have discussed in many reviews the desire to live the digital lifestyle.  This so-called new lifestyle has obviously been coined by many companies and countless marketing majors as they try to sell us their new products.  These products range from high storage capacity NAS devices to full service media PC's.  Each company puts their own spin on a particular product, in an attempt to get the consumer to bring their music or their video off their computer and onto their device.  Sometimes this works, other times it is a horrible failure. Today's digital lifestyle contender is the Sonos Digital Music System.  Basically, this is a network MP3 player.  Although not exactly a groundbreaking idea, in the end it all comes down to execution.  If you think about it, the iPod is just another MP3 player very similar to all the rest, but its execution (and arguably, the design) was spot on.  What I want to know is if Sonos' new ZP80 bundle is actually a well executed network MP3 player, or just another shot in the dark. For my tests, Sonos has provided a ZP80 bundle, ZP100 ZonePlayer, SP100 LoudSpeakers, and a Cradle.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Music changes; such is its nature.  From sticks and rocks to electric guitars and drum machines, the will of music is to evolve.  And as music evolves, so does the technology that delivers it. The Squeezebox by Slim Devices bridges the gap between component stereo systems and digital media in a small and stylish package.  Think of it as a stereo receiver made just for your digital music files, but that's not all.  With optional Wi-Fi connectivity, internet radio, and RSS news feeds, it's practically a PC!with soul.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Instead of replacing your video card with a TV tuner card, now you can hook up a little box and truly enjoy the glory that is the height of laziness. Watch TV while you browse the net, you can't get much lazier than this, unless you have a mini-fridge and a toilet in close proximity...]]></description>
