A periodic roundup of relevant news from our friends at Zatz Not Funny…
Blockbuster OnDemand not ready for prime time
Dave Zatz: As the title states, the Blockbuster OnDemand MediaPoint 2Wire box just isn’t ready for prime time.

Dave Zatz: The primary function of Neuros LINK is to organize and access web-based video on the TV, such as Hulu or Amazon OnDemand.
