HD Nation Fan mail-Acer Revo Review by Paul J Roberts
OK, so I sat down with my Acer Revo 3610 and Boxee Beta to get my weekly fix of Revision3 HD Nation and what do I see? Hosts Robert Heron and Patrick Norton reading viewer mail and I hear my name! Whaaaat? Stop, rewind, play…play……..TODAY!!!
Sure thing. A viewer named Mark from Perth, Australia wrote in asking them to do a review of the Atom Ion Acer Revo 3610. Mark went on to say that they may also “get a kick” out of a web site featuring a Revo 3610 review with video of Robert and Patrick from HD Nation! They mentioned my site by name, show a screen shot, and mention the review was pretty cool. Nice!
Robert, Patrick, and Mark; thanks for the props! I’m, for once, speechless.
The video does force a commercial, but it’s quick.

Congressional hearings regarding NBC and Comcast merger and the blocking of Hulu content on Boxee was brought to the table yesterday. Zucker stating that he is open to offering Hulu to Boxee, but only through a licensing agreement. Which is a contradiction of a comment made months earlier by Hulu management.
See the qued video right as Zucker is questioned directly by Congress. Here

Revision 3’s HD Nation did a nice review on this no-name Kworld ATSC 300U Plus TV HD 330 USB Tuner.
Looks like a good piece overall. Some posters on my Revo reviews have had good luck running it with little issues considering the Revo 3610 is technically under powered to run as a PVR. One poster does not use the included software, but rather uses WMC to control the recording of shows. Sounds optimistic! Think I’ll pick one up soon and do a test.
Find it at Tiger Direct: HERE

I know that a few of you 3610 Ion users are not getting fluid playback of Flash or DX in a browser or in Boxee even with the updates and all. I’m stumped. I really am. As I’ve had great, smooth playback with my unit since day one. Though, it seems to be random that a few are having a poor experience. And the symptoms are very similar to 1600 ION LE users and this just should not happen on the 3610. So, here is a listing of my exact set up. It should be mostly complete.
My Personal Revo 3610 Set Up that works well
Revo Specs & Setup:
- Revo 3610 Ion 330 2 gb ram With Windows-7 64 bit preinstalled.
- Connected via Cat-5 wire via a 100 mb network. (wifi sucks
) Wifi uses a lot of CPU and may hinder playback. Especially Revo 1600 users with the single core and ION LE chip. - Windows Aero is still activated. For some, there may be gains by disabling it. Especially Revo 1600 users with the single core and ION LE chip. (more…)

Kevin Rose is at it again with his Square iPhone Payment System. Pretty bad ass little device. Swipe for payment, sign it, email the receipt and it even gives a GPS location in the email. Very, very cool! Oh, and he invested in the company too. Really??? I would’ve never guessed. 
Wonder how the payments to my account work. Direct to my personal bank account, paypal, or do you need a full merchant bank account?
Nice piece, Kevin. I’d buy it.

I released two new Boxee apps over the past two weeks; MSNBC Video Podcasts and Soma FM-2. Both are simple feed apps, but I have design plans for each to make them more attractive.
The MSNBC Video podcasts are eight of the most popular shows on MSMBC. Each is the full episode and is auto updated with the latest one. (more…)

The Boxee Brown, a cube-like device that shares Internet content with your TV, is scheduled to go on sale this spring.
With the Boxee Box being crowned ‘Last Gadget Standing’ at CES last night, the ball will certainly start rolling for Team Boxee in the coming months.
The award is decided by a live demonstration and voted on via crowd applause at the event each year. It seems that “the box” narrowly beat the Plastic Logic’s Que e-reader and the Intel Reader, both of which scan text and reads it aloud. (more…)
