Rumor has it that a new bill is being proposed in the state of Idaho concerning the regulation of Low-Voltage. This has been largely regulated by the free market but it looks as though the state wants to follow suite of neighboring states (Oregon, California, Nevada, ect…). We would encourage Idaho’s legislature to look and focus on life safety and for what it aims to protect. More on this development

Wireless HD was introduced back in 2006 with very little support however this year at CES (Consumer Electronic Show) more than 40 companies are adopting this new 60Ghz-based standard. Many people today want to have a flat panel (thin display) mounted on the wall versus that of sitting on a cabinet. However, many homes today do not come wired with such technology in mind which requires the home owner to do it themselves (gasp!) or hire a professional to get the necessary connections in place. This is one less step consumers will need to cut the cords to the display. This does’nt mean that you hang the display it works you still have to contend with the power cord (leash). We are following closely MIT’s power technology that allows for power with no wires however we don’t see this effectively coming to market for several years.

The battle is on! Move over Cable vs. satellite, Blu-Ray vs. HD DVD your HDMI cable is next!

The technology works much your WiFi or internet connection to deliver the HD signal from a box to your display. More on WirelssHD here
