Are you looking for a contemporary clean lined TV lift cabinet for your home?  If so, we would like to recommend our Prism, Moderna, and Soho TV lift cabinets.

The Prism and Moderna TV lift cabinets can be used at the foot of the bed or against the wall.  These cabinets are finished on all four sides, come with pull out bottom drawers, and have our built in infrared relay system and uplift 3250 lift mechansims.  With the infrared relay (IR) system, customers can operate their AV components without having to have direct line of sight.  That’s correct.  Your cable box, DVD player, and other electronics can remain behind closed drawers at all times!  The Prism is available in espresso, white, and black finish.  The Moderna is available is espresso, caramel, black, and white finish.

The Soho TV Lift Cabinet comes with a built in electric fireplace. The firebox and TV are separated by a full wall. This wall allows your TV to remain cool and completely unaffected by the firebox. This beautiful cabinet features the heavy duty built in Uplift 3700 lift mechanism with IR system.  There is plenty of storage with two side cabinet doors opening up to reveal shelves for media equipment and three cabinet drawers for your AV components. The Soho Electric Fireplace is available in caramel and espresso finish.

These lovely cabinets are sure to complement any modern home.

Joining in on the online movie streaming craze is Walmart, who a little over a year ago bought video-streaming service Vudu.com.  From Walmart.com, customers can buy or rent movies through the Vudu service. Walmart is not offering subscriptions, making it more comparable to iTunes than subscription services like Netflix.

Vudu offers 20,000 titles which can be viewed on PCs and streamed through devices like PlayStation 3. So, what does this mean for TV lift cabinet owners? If your TV has internet access through a gaming device or set top box, you can stream videos to your TV lift cabinet through Walmart’s new service.

In light of Netflix’s PR nightmare and subsequent loss of customers, Walmart has thrown its name into the hat as a potential alternative. Walmart already brings in huge sales numbers for in-store movie sales as one of the nation’s top retailers. It leaves one wondering how the streaming service will affect those numbers. More and more consumers are picking convenience and the ability to instantly stream content over going to the store and purchasing or renting a physical copy. Do you prefer the Vudu/iTunes method of renting or buying or the subscription method offered by Netflix and Hulu Plus?

Hulu, the online video service, is in the market for a buyer.  Over the last few months, Hulu has been shopping around for the most lucrative offer.  While Microsoft stepped down from the bidding war, it now appears that Apple is interested.  According to a Mashable related article, two people who weren’t authorized to speak publicly, let it leak that Apple has stepped into the bidding negotiations.

With Hulu, people can enjoy directly from their TV lift cabinets, hundreds of television shows and movies for free.  To make this happen, Hulu is partnered with NBCUniversal, News Corporation, The Walt Disney Company, and Providence Equity Partners.  While people can watch free programs and movies, they do have to endure through lengthy advertisements as this is how Hulu makes money.

The bidding war may go as high as $2 billion, according to The Business Insider.  If rumor is true, Apple will be bidding against Yahoo.  The deal includes five years of programming including two years of exclusivity.

Hi folks, sorry for the delay.  It is time to reveal the answer to our weekly Friday trivia game.

Question:  What television show purchased one of our TV Lift Cabinets/Lift Mechanisms?

The correct answer is: d.) All of the above (The Good Wife, The Price is Right, and HGTV’D).

With all the outrage over Netflix’s price hikes, many former Netflix customers have been defecting to alternate streaming services. Two services that seem to be high on consumer lists of alternatives are Amazon and Hulu.

In the wake of the Netflix uproar, new developments have emerged regarding Amazon and Hulu. Amazon’s Prime streaming video service recently struck a deal with CBS to begin streaming 2,000 TV show episodes. This means Amazon will now offer full seasons of 18 TV series.  The agreement includes episodes of “The Tudors,” “Numb3rs,” and “Cheers”. All content can be streamed to a computer or directly to your TV lift cabinet.

Hulu is another heavy hitter in the world of streaming TV shows and movies. The company has hired investment bankers to oversee a potential sale of their service. Yahoo has come forward as a would-be buyer, if Hulu can agree to their terms. The terms are 5 years of exclusive access to Hulu’s content. If Hulu were to agree to the offer, the service would be sold for a reported $2 billion. Hulu sources have a different take and have offered 5 years of access with much less exclusivity. Meaning other sites, such as the network website for the individual TV shows, could stream the same content.

Time will tell what happens with both services as the Netflix price increases do not go into effect until September. However, with the amount of angry consumers promising to jump ship, both Amazon and Hulu have the potential to reap the benefits.

Check out our Samuel TV Lift Cabinet!  The Samuel is the newest addition created by the Amish.  This handcrafted TV lift cabinet is made of solid maple wood.  The built-in TV Lift easily allows transition from open to closed storage and can house up to most 46” TVs. The equipment tray located directly below the TV lift also provides storage for two pieces of electronic equipment.  With its sleek minimalistic lines and modern contemporary hardware it is the ultimate picture of sophistication.
