  • Kodi

    This week we talk about 3D TVs, the Aereo, and fully loaded Kodi devices.


    We also discuss micropayments, television on Twitter, and the Digital Economy Act.

    Note about this version of this episode:

    The transitions at the end are a little clunky, as I wanted to rework it to cut out the ads, but also wanted to keep the book recommendation intact. This'll get better over the next several episodes, as I keep this eventual format in mind while recording.
