About: As a life long Geek, Tyler is pretty much addicted to anything that has to do with technology. He became hooked on HDTV in early '04, and hasn't looked back since. Tyler is a HD video content addict, and has been since the days of recording HD movies onto D-VHS tapes.
At his day job in the aerospace industry, he is never too far away from the latest FWC related news thanks to Google Reader on the iPhone.See Authors Posts (356) on November 27, 2008

It seems like every week the folks at Vudu keep surprising us with a boat load of new HD titles, or some new hardware to gawk at. Now they have responded to the chatter of the Vudu box being a one trick pony.
The Vudu team has added some welcome features including YouTube video playback, Photo viewing via Flickr and Picasa, as well as some simple card games like Solitare and Freecell.
Vudu’s implementation of YouTube is the best we have seen so far on a set top device (including Apple TV, Tivo S3/HD ect.) The Vudu remote allows ultra fast browsing of YouTube clips, a task which is painfully slow on the TiVo and Apple TV.
Over the last few months Vudu has gone from weekly speculation of their demise, to becoming one of the main players in the HD content game.
