DISH Loses HD Disney Channels Including ESPNews[teaser]SD feeds are still available, but the continuing conflict between DISH and Disney means HD channels may not be coming back any time soon. [/teaser] If you haven't been following the back and forth between the two companies, here's how it pans out. Disney upgraded its channels to HD. DISH put those channels on the air. Disney asked DISH for more money. DISH said no. Disney started pulling channels. That's an oversimplification of course, but that's the gist of it. Disney has pulled ABC Family HD, Disney Channel HD, Disney XD HD, and ESPNews HD. This isn't anything new for the companies either. Based on a court ruling from earlier this year, DISH owes Disney somewhere around $65 million in fees. DISH is appealing that case of course, and cites its own cases against Disney. If you're a DISH subscriber, you might want to start getting used to SD quality Disney feeds. This could go on for a while. Source: Multichannel NewsPosted Thu Jun 24, 2010 at 12:00 PM PDT by: -

Popbox Hardware Weeks Away – Still No Word on Netflix[teaser]The official Popbox blog isn't doing a lot to raise confidence either. [/teaser] People have gotten pretty excited about the Popbox. It's up there with the Boxee Box as far as hotly anticipated media streamers go. But when the Netflix logo started disappearing from Popbox press material, it raised some questions. Questions that don't yet have answers. The official statement on the Popbox blog doesn't do a lot to raise confidence. "Rest assured that we will, in advance, post a complete list of all App partners that will be available on the PopBox before Amazon.com ships to customers who have pre-ordered." The reason behind the lack of information, according to Syabas, the makers of Popbox, isn't choice, but legality. "Because of legal considerations we cannot currently post that information today but we are actively engaged with multiple partners as we speak to have their services available shortly on the PopBox."

Vizio Launches a Trio of Blu-Ray Players[teaser]They've all got built-in WiFi, internet streaming services and a price tag under $200. [/teaser] Vizio announced three new Blu-ray players today, each of which sports a few nice features and an even nicer price. Two of the players – the VBR210 and VBR220 – appear to be almost exactly alike. They look the same, they've got the same specs, and they've got the same $189 price tag. The one real difference seems to be the stores that carry them. The VBR210 and 220 also sport the same 802.11n single-band wireless networking capabilities. If you're hoping to step things up a bit for better internet streaming, the VBR231 is the way to go. Instead of the single-band wireless connection of the others, the 231 has 802.11n dual-band capabilities. You'll have to wait until July though, when the VBR231 releases at an MSRP of $199.
