AV Rant #221: Viral Twoll
Stay tuned after the music for out-takes. This week, the results of our most recent Twoll, a name that Liz hardily disagrees with. If all TVs were 3D TVs, would people actually use 3D? When shopping for TVs, what to keep in mind. Redbox is looking to get into streaming… someday. What do they need to be successful? Comcast versus Netflix via Level 3. Marantz AV7005 – Tom wants. Some more Bob news, updates to the Listener Systems, and questions from listeners. This is the Lawrence Lessig book Liz was talking about.

Re: “Da Twoll”
Soundproof, Tom… soundproof.
It’s me, dude! Soundproof means soundproof, not “acoustically treated” (although I’d want my new soundproof room to be acoustically treated too, of course :p )
Oh, I know how when most people say, “I want to put soundproofing on my walls” what they REALLY mean is that they want acoustic panels. But *I* mean soundproof when I write soundproof – you know, QuietRock walls and ceiling, floated floor, room-within-a-room construction…soundproof, man!
Didn’t we have this conversation before?
:p
Hey all: I’m a new subscriber to the podcast. I was just listening to the section where you described how Redbox might be smart to move into streaming through Walmart. I’m not sure if you’re aware of this today but Wal-Mart already has a streaming service available on PS3, Samsung TVs and other devices called VUDU. It was acquired in March 2010; see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vudu for more information.
Grammer buddy, that reads like you want to rock out in your very own padded cell. What’s the W.A.F. on this issue? Might this scare away current and future prospects? Think again man.
@lesser evil
You kiddin’? What woman wouldn’t want a soundproof room into which I would disappear for hours and leave her alone for a bit? :p
Been using Firewire since 1997. At the time, it was the only interface that could handle the bitrates needed for DV video capture and multichannel audio recording. Today, I use FW for my two external drives and my Presonus audio interface.
I guess Thunderbolt will make FW and USB 3.0 obsolete… if anyone supports it. Just like DisplayPort got supported. =D
I’m guessing Thunderbolt will work over a distance of 1 meter max… but perhaps not. We’ll see.
Bought Bob Moore for Kindle. Looking forward to a good read.
