Read MoreThere was a time, way back when… that DIRECTV and DISH had massive presences at the CES show (back when CES stood for Consumer Electronics Show… now it doesn’t stand for anything). I remember the big…
It was a rainy — and surprisingly quiet — day 1 at the CES show in Las Vegas. It’s possible that the unseasonably wet weather kept the crowds away, or it could just be that the…
Tomorrow, the blog team is off to CES. They don’t call it the Consumer Electronics Show anymore, I guess CES doesn’t actually stand for anything at all. But call it what you will, for a few…
What you see above is LG’s 88″ prototype 8K TV. Other sites are already talking about how it’s going to be shown at CES, and that it won’t be the other nearly-production-ready 8K TV. And folks,…
So, did you get what you wanted from our blog team this year? We’re not the biggest or the best funded but we try as hard as anyone else. Take a look at the reports we…
With the last of the blog team home safe, it’s time to take one last look at the show. It wasn’t the biggest… and that was on purpose. At times it actually felt a little underattended. It seemed…
So this article’s a little off topic. As in, none of these items are for sale at Solid Signal, and none are likely to be. Maybe if I had a DeLorean and could go back and…

A day spent on the floor was certainly worthwhile. Today the blog team spent time at some of the hotspots at the Consumer Electronics Show. We started at the Sands Expo Center, where the wearables…
This could be big… eventually. The HDMI Forum, who do nothing but develop the standards used in HDMI cables, announced HDMI 2.1, which will eventually have a use in TVs and computers. The move was…
DISH and Sling TV were in a new location this year in the central hall, closer to RCA and other manufacturers and away from the Intel booth, which was inexplicably busy considering that no one really…
OK, fair is fair. The show actually doesn’t open until tomorrow. There have been press events and all, but the main action at the convention center doesn’t start until tomorrow at 10am. So what, exactly, did…
We don’t have a bus or a couple million dollars in gear to back, but we’re on our way! The Consumer Electronics Show, better known as CES, starts officially tomorrow and we’re going to be there…
