I think he was referring to the bulk of Verizon's customer base who are oblivious to Verizon's limitations.

That's nothing...The M&M guys have been doing that for years.

I need to buy stock in MediaMall ASAP. That PlayOn investment is looking smarter and smarter every day.

528MHz?

That would be...unfortunate.

"how is a box like this able to serve top quality MKV's to a common household device such as a PS3 or 360?"

huh? Last time I checked HULU didn't use MKV's. I said in my first post this thing couldn't even handle HULU let alone an MKV. My reply to you was simply to explain that HULU's management does not WANT you to be able to easily stream HULU to an actual TV and that is why no streaming receivers natively support it.

Except for the fact it is HULU not these devices that is keeping them from displaying it's contents. The PS3 could play HULU at one time but HULU now checks the browser string and when it sees a PS3 or any other non PC browser it let's you know you are not welcome there.

Yeah I think you missed the window of opportunity to leave VZW. Now that they've added first, second, and third born to their ETF only people like Kate Gosselin will be able to leave.

SOOOO Close. This is perfect...or at least it would be if it had at least the Atom 330. The N280 has a Passmark score of 316 where the Atom 330 score is 620. I'm sure the N280 is fine for almost everything a home server is supposed to do except transcode. I want to be able to throw PlayOn on one of these boxes and MediaMall recommends a Passmark score of at least 500 for stutter free transcoding and since this thing probably doesn't even have a GPU let alone a GOOD GPU the new GPU optimized flash wouldn't help in the slightest. I know I can build one myself but I've been doing that for years and the thrill is gone. Guess I'll just have to bite the bullet and get one of the HP systems with more horsepower.

Well the PS3 has had an app store for quite a while and this weeks 360 update added the ZUNE marketplace so I guess your request is now granted.

I tried out the new features on the 360 last night and was TOTALLY underwhelmed. Last.fm was nice and I'd like to see that kind of integration on my PS3 but I can use the browser and it runs Pandora just fine. Guess I'll have to take a look at the PS3 update when I get home.

On a side note I was stoked to see "KRULL" in the ZUNE store.

For the logo on the device a little acetone (AKA finger nail polish remover) will usually wipe any trace of it. A quick download of your favorite theme from Pinstack.com takes care of most of the rest.
