Sony NSZ-GS7 Review
An Internet Player with Google TV
The Sony NSZ-GS7 Internet Player with Google TV is the company’s second and newest device featuring the Internet giant’s ambitious digital media software. It features a reasonable MSRP of $170, but intrepid bargain hunters can easily find it for as low as $148 with a simple search.
Vizio Co-Star also offers Google TV. To compare read “VIZIO Co-Star Review“.
The exterior of the NSZ-GS7 is a slick and sophisticated treat for the eyes, showcasing Sony’s impeccable eye for excellent design. Under the hood lies a 1.2 GHz dual-core processor that easily handles apps, videos and webpages, along with a built-in wireless receiver that allows households to do away with wired connections. With an HDMI input and output, Ethernet port, two USB ports and a IR blaster post, connecting most of your favorite devices is no problem.
NSZ-GS7 Remote
The double-sided remote control is perhaps the most interesting feature found on the NSZ-GS7. On one side, there is a generously sized touchpad that allows for remarkably easy navigation, along with an assortment of Android buttons and DVR-style buttons. Turn the remote over and you get a full keyboard, which without, using Google TV’s search feature would almost be impossible. On the right side of the remote, you’ll find your basic volume and channel controls. Last but not least, it also features a 3-Axis motion sensor for gaming. This remote’s tech-laden nature may make it seem somewhat confusing to ordinary users expecting a bit more simplicity.
Being Google TV, the package also includes its ubiquitous Chrome browser. In addition, it comes with Flash Media Player for handling Flash-based content. With the free Media Remote app, you can use your smartphone instead of the included remote to control the NSZ-GS7.

Watch Live Sports Online?
Or is OTA a Better Idea?
If you’re thinking about saving up to hundreds of dollars every year by killing the cable bill, then you’re probably aware of some of drawbacks to getting rid of your current cable television service. For instance, you might think that given up cable also means giving up much of your favorite sports coverage. However, there are plenty of ways you can keep up with the latest in football, basketball, baseball and a variety of other sports without having to spend outrageous sums of money on cable and satellite television service. What is Over the Air?
The Picture is Blurry but the Law is Not
Unfortunately, one option you won’t have at your disposal is watching live sports online for free. Many websites will attempt to advertise free streams of popular sports coverage from the major networks. While this seems like an easy and convenient way to catch up on your favorite sports, these online streams violate current copyright statues, a crime that can carry serious penalties under most circumstances. Watching one of these streams can place the viewer at risk of prosecution, in many cases. In the interests of staying completely legit, you will want to stay clear of online sports streams.
Even if you don’t care about the legality of it all, quality is a serious issue. When streaming live sports online you have to deal with choppy, blurry, pixelated resolution that is simply not enjoyable to watch. You cant tell which player is doing what…all you can see is bunch of colored jerseys. And you definitely cant invite friends over for the big game, as they will be very disappointed and most likely make fun of your ridiculous setup.

Kindle Fire Video
What is Kindle Fire?
In 2007 Amazon introduced the Kindle e-reader that is used to access Amazon’s digital book store. The Kindle became a hugely popular device that allowed for a person to carry their entire book selection in a small lightweight package. Since this success, Amazon has released the Kindle Fire HD. The Kindle Fire HD is a tablet device, not unlike the iPad or Galaxy Tab, that runs on the Android operating system. This allowed for the Kindle to be much more than just an e-reader and more of a multimedia device.
The base price for the Kindle Fire HD is only $200 (Amazon Pricing), much less than other tablet devices on the market. This low price has allowed for the Kindle Fire HD to undercut its new competitors and quickly become one of the top tablets in the world. If you buy from Amazon, it comes with login information already loaded, so all you need to do is confirm that you are who you say you are, and your ready to go.

What is Vimeo?
Founded in 2004, Vimeo is a video hosting service that serves as a platform for notable video content, the majority of which comes from independent filmmakers and film enthusiasts. Vimeo often features animated shorts and indie film efforts played on a full-width video player, to deliver a more cinematic experience. The vast majority of content is shown in standard definition, although in most cases high definition video is also available.
Vimeo makes the Cable TV Alternatives list
Cutting the Cord or throwing away the dish might seem like a tough task to most people, especially those who really enjoy watching a wide variety of movies and television programming. In actuality, getting rid of cable or dish TV service is actually pretty easy with all of the excellent cable tv alternatives that are currently available. Many of these alternatives involve streaming online video content that is absolutely free.
Vimeo vs Youtube
At first glance, Vimeo seems a lot similar to YouTube and other services that provide user generated content. However, Vimeo stands apart from those services by providing only high-quality streaming content generated by its members – with support for 1080p Full HD Video. The video hosting service goes to great lengths to promote the creation of high-quality content, and most of the content curated, is by staff and other respected members. The end result is a viewing experience that places quality above quantity.
