DirecTV to launch 3D-HD channel in 2010
DirecTV to launch 3D-HD channel in 2010: "
"
You know what was so 2009? Television in HD. You know what is so 2010? Television in HD and 3D. HD Guru is reporting that DirecTV is planning to launch an all HD and 3D channel in 2010; with an announcement forthcoming at this years CES show in Las Vegas. The new service will be made possible by a new DirecTV satellite being shot into orbit sometime in the very near future, a satellite slated to be fully operational by March of 2010. The channel will play a variety of movies and sports all conforming to the latest 3D standard. Now before we all get too excited, the new service will work with your current DirecTV HD box, thanks to a firmware update, but you will have to purchase yourself a new 3D compatible HD TV — many of which are to be announced at CES this year. Will 3D be the new buzz word of the 2010 television market? We will see.

I tried this—for about a minute. Granted, it's not a whole heckuva lot of time, but Plex, it ain't. I've used Boxee, Plex, XBMC, and about 2-3 others. You know what? Plex is pretty much flawless. Hell, it even comes with a folder action that catalogs your downloaded TV torrents into Name, Episode, and Season so that it can read it properly.
Can someone who has tried Plex, but stuck with XBMC, can they explain to me why? Cause... I don't get it.

XBMC does that too. Plex was forked from XBMC long ago, and no longer has the benefit of seeing all of XBMC's improvements added into it. The only thing Plex has over XBMC, are the plug-ins, which are coming to XBMC in one form or another. Once that happens, Plex will be nothing. XBMC has one thing Plex greatly lacks: Developers, lots of them

Yeah I tested XMBC too... versions of long gone... and in its current form...
I can't really say why... but everything SCREAMS PC to me... while Plex feels more OS X-like. Feature-wise I could not really spot a difference...
To be quite frank tho... I probably do not use that many features of the software anyway.
Imo there's room for improvement with both of them... so let's just wait and see... I for once... have 'connected' my video library with BOTH apps...
