Holy Grail of Home Theater HDTV has arrived - ZvBox

Finally a distribution solution for the upscale HDTV home theater crowd is now shipping.  The ZeeVee ZvBox can encode/distribute a VGA HDTV signal over a QAM channel on baseband coax wire.  If I can finally justify the $500 pricetag, I will definitely be getting one of these for home.

HDTV Modulator coming soon!

The Holy Grail of HD finally became available this year, ZvBox,  in allowing consumers to modulate (broadcast) their own digital Hi-Def channels.   Definitely something I am going to be keeping on eye on as it becomes available at the end of June.

Free HD content on the web

Ive been on the search for free downloadable HD demo material.  The only site I have found so far is the Apple HD gallery.  If anyone knows of any good source of free HD material please chime in.  (I already know about the MS WMV gallery but it does me little good playing DRM .EXE files on Linux )
