  1. Top Cable Executives meet to discuss Online Competition, Affordability

    Top TV and programming executives recently sat down for the National Cable and Telecommunications Association’s Cable Show panel. The panel included executives from Comcast, Time Warner, Cox, News Corp and Viacom. The main topics of interest were the growing competition from internet based services, how to provide programming to ‘all screens’ (tablets, smart phones, PCs) and affordability.

    With mounting pressure from Hulu, Netflix and Amazon, the cable companies need to start considering how to make their content accessible through new devices that are constantly evolving. Creating ‘on demand’ content for any device was at the forefront of the discussion. Apple and Google were also acknowledged as competitors who could present to be a problem for cable companies.

  2. Best TV of 2011: Is it the Panasonic TC-PVT30 or Samsung PND8000?

    David Katzmaier, Senior Editor at cnet.com, recently posted an article that will help TV lift cabinet owners in selecting their new flat screen TV.   Katzmaier broke down how the Panasonic TC-PVT30 compared versus the Samsung PND8000 in the following categories; best picture quality, best design, best features, best value, and his personal opinion of the overall best TV of 2011.  Below is a summary of his findings.

    Best picture quality: Panasonic VT30
    The VT30 has superior black-level performance and shadow detail, as well as arguably better video processing. The Samsung wins for color accuracy, 3D performance, and bright-room picture. The two were quite close in nearly every picture quality characteristic I test, and both TVs rightly earn their performance scores of 9, but the Panasonic's picture is still better overall in my opinion.

    Best design: Samsung PND8000
    The thin bezel, slimmer cabinet, and sleeker overall looks of the Samsung outdo the VT30's one-sheet face in my book. This
