Channel Master Stream+ Android TV DVR review: So much wasted potential
Article Contents0.1 Specs0.2 The Good0.3 The Not So Good1 Setup2 DVR Functionality3 Remote4 Android TV5 SMARTenna+6 Conclusion Some people are cord cutters — fed up with cable bills that seem to rise every month, hardware rental fees, and the unshakable sense that they aren't getting a ton of value for their entertainment buck. The just-under $150 Channel Master Stream+ and its ability to both stream online content and record free over-the-air broadcasts promises to keep them happy in a cable-free world. Does it deliver? While I can't truly count myself among cord cutters, since I never subscribed to cable as an adult in the first place, I'm very much of the mindset that there are a ton of alternative video sources out there, and between online streaming and OTA broadcasts, I'm a happy camper. I've been using OTA DVRs for well over a decade now, but with existing options starting to feel a little stagnant, my attention was piqued when Channel Master announced its … [Read more...] about Channel Master Stream+ Android TV DVR review: So much wasted potential
Chuwi Hi9 Air Tablet Review – A Near-Premium Experience On A Budget
August 24, 2018 - Written By Daniel Golightly The Chuwi Hi9 Air delivers high-end build quality and top features like 4G connectivity in a sub-$200 tablet.Chuwi’s latest entry into the Android tablet market is a device called the Chuwi Hi9 Air. As its name implies, the Hi9 Air is technically a mobile data-enabled member of the Hi9 family of tablets launched late last year. However, it should not be mistaken for any prior entries into the series. In fact, this tablet moves far beyond its namesake to deliver a modern all-metal design, a moderately powerful chipset, and a range of other features that negate any comparison to its predecessor. Moreover, it offers a smooth Android 8.0 (Oreo) experience with a high degree of familiarity and performance thanks to the stock nature of its software. There are, of course, a few minor drawbacks that aren’t at all uncommon in an Android tablet. With that said, Chuwi’s Hi9 Air is effectively a premium entry at below $200 and well … [Read more...] about Chuwi Hi9 Air Tablet Review – A Near-Premium Experience On A Budget

In fact, I believe I called it my favorite device from last year on a recent podcast, a claim that I readily stand behind. To me, it shows how versatile Android can be, despite the fact that the unit itself is essentially a one trick pony (it's damn good at that one trick, though). Then there's NVIDIA's second foray into device design, the Tegra Note 7. Unlike SHIELD, TN7 is actually just a design that other companies can use as a base to release their own hardware from. The tablet's highlight feature is … [Read more...] about NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet Review: It’s Hard To Overstate My Satisfaction
Chuwi Hi9 Tablet Review – Budget Gaming With Few Tradeoffs
April 10, 2018 - Written By Daniel Golightly The Hi9 does most things with few caveats, at a reasonable cost.Chuwi’s latest tablet, the Chuwi Hi9, sits at the upper end of the budget range but it doesn’t seem at all aware that’s where it’s supposed to reside. That’s because Android tablets have, in general, lagged far behind smartphones in performance. So it’s easy to look at the prevalent internal specifications provided here, and the price, and assume the Hi9 is going to be a waste of money for most tasks. Happily enough, that’s just not the case with this particular device. Marketed as an Android gaming tablet, this tablet is able to handle most things that a user could throw at it. Unfortunately, that doesn’t cover all Android games, since it is still relatively low-spec compared to some flagship or even mid-range smartphones on the market. However, for the money, it would be difficult to say that this tablet is anything close to a … [Read more...] about Chuwi Hi9 Tablet Review – Budget Gaming With Few Tradeoffs
