Miglia TVMax+ with digital tuner
Today, Miglia Technology, announced TVMax+. A content collection hub, for use with iPod, AppleTV and Apple computers. TVMax+ allows you to view your favourite shows on every screen in your home, from your living room to your iPod to your Mac. TVMax+ also doubles as a digital TV tuner, so you can watch, pause and record TV shows to watch exactly as you want choose.
We have reviewed the first generation TVMax on Geekanoids, well this takes things one step further, adding a digital tuner, which can't be a bad thing.
“In tests TVMax was used to capture a short 30 minute clip of our favourite TV show and was set to put that clip onto an iPod Video, the whole process took 31.5 minutes and we were watching the finished result (at 640x480). The same clip captured using an alternative software capture solution took 61 minutes from start to finish before we could view the show on our iPod, that’s almost 100% faster using TVMax.”

Epson Stylus Pro 3800 Review - coming soon
Epson printers just keep getting better and better. I have been a long time fan of Epson's offerings, and have previously reviewed many of their scanners and printers. Well, now it is time for the big boys, with the Epson Stylus Pro 3800 that they have kindly agreed to send down to us.
The Stylus Pro 3800 is an A2+ (17”) cut sheet desktop wide format printer, the latest addition to the Epson Professional printer range to incorporate the well proven and respected UltraChrome K3 inkset. The K3 inks are very highly regarded in the industry, with many galleries only accpeting prints using these inks. We will be testing a wide range of media finishes, as well as checking just how good the prints look against conventional photos, and the original scanned files. As well as throwing some digital files at the 3800, taken with the latest Canon SLR technology. Check back soon to read the full review.
