  • HTG 555: Dark Matter - What I'm Watching

    Scott Wilkinson is way into Dark Matter, a streaming series on Apple TV+ starring Joel Edgerton and Jennifer Connelly. Based on a novel by Blake Crouch, it explores the notion of parallel universes and one physicist's invention that allows travel between them. Unlike many depictions of this idea, Dark Matter is much more character-driven and thoughtful. Highly recommended!

    • HTG 553: TV Privacy - How Much Data Collection Is Too Much?

      A YouTube channel called Gamers Nexus recently took a deep dive into how much data LG collects from its TVs about your viewing habits and even ambient conversations in the room. This has sparked a fierce debate about privacy and exactly how LG and other TV and so-called "smart" device manufacturers use the data they collect. Scott Wilkinson talks about the issue and the best ways for you to limit the amount of data that corporations collect from you.

      Former Home Theater of the Month honoree Jeremy Mills recently replaced the lamp in his Epson Pro Cinema 6050UB projector and wonders if he should get it professionally calibrated.

          • HTG 548: Stuart Fails to Save the Universe - What I'm Watching

            In this new occasional series within Home Theater Geeks, Scott Wilkinson talks about content he is particularly enjoying. This week, he is really digging Stuart Fails to Save the Universe, the latest spin-off from The Big Bang Theory. It's very different from its progenitor, but just as funny and filled with geeky goodness!

            Joe Klusnick, whose home theater was recently featured on Home Theater Geeks, returns to talk about another project he worked on recently: a theater in a senior living community.

            • HTG 546: Dumb TVs Again - Pros & Cons of Modern Internet-Connected TVs

              Listener Lance Pelissier thinks that "smart TVs" are a waste of money if you have something like a Sony PlayStation or another online streaming source device, and he wonders if "dumb TVs" will make a comeback because they duplicate the functions of those external devices. Scott Wilkinson responds in no uncertain terms.
