Sharp has announced a new range of flagship televisions with a whole host of extra features — including an integrated PVR with a 160GB hard drive to record stuff and 100Hz technology to reduce the motion blur often seen on LCD televisions. There are two models in the range, the LC-46HD1E and the LC-52HD1E — …

Back in the day, when TVs weren’t skinny and weighed as much as an elephant, some people complained that the 50Hz refresh rate of PAL televisions wasn’t high enough and it made their heads ache. A solution was proposed whereby the heads of those who complained would be removed, the whining $*?!s. This wasn’t especially popular, so boffins came up …

As we perch on the edge of our seats waiting for the Blu-ray vs HD DVD scuffle to end, we have plenty of time to predict which format will be triumphant. The latest salvo is Sony’s announcement of a seriously cut-price Blu-ray player, the BDP-S300. It’s a step up from the enormous BDP-S1 — it’s cheaper, smaller and amazingly will now …

We always look forward to CeBIT, an opportunity to mix with a huge variety of tech people from all over the world and discuss the issues of the day over a breakfast of meat. What’s more, there’s also sauerkraut to sweeten the deal — and who doesn’t like fermented white cabbage? Once we’ve eaten, we’ll be looking out for the …

As Crave hurtles towards CeBIT 2007, Europe’s biggest tech trade show, we’re starting to get excited about what we might see there. No doubt there will be huge televisions, and fingers crossed, some exciting new technology. To feed our hunger, Toshiba has dropped us a tasty morsel of information on its upcoming Regza C series, which we guess will replace …

Whenever a 1080p television comes into the Crave office, there is always a certain shimmer of excitement in the air. With the imminent arrival of the PlayStation 3 we don’t want to be playing our games at 1080i: these days we demand 1080p. So when the Sharp Aquos LC-37XD1E arrived we couldn’t get it out of the box quick enough. …

So, you woke up yesterday and Sky One was gone from your channel line-up. Did you weep for the loss of Lost, or blubber over Battlestar Galactica? If you did, I understand, it’s hard having to rely on Rupert Murdoch for your entertainment needs: just ask football fans. What makes the loss of Sky One so painful is the fact …

Last night Virgin’s carriage deal with Sky ended with a bump. Rather than stump up the extra money Sky demanded — rumoured to be nearly double the amount Virgin was previously paying — the cable company decided to ditch Sky’s non-premium channels, yanking them from its programme listings. While we have no doubt this is a stunt by Virgin to …

Initially we were hoping to get Apple TV in for a review this week, clearly this is now unlikely as News.com is reporting it will not now be shipping until mid-March. This is annoying but not a surprise — Apple has a habit of pushing product launches back. On the plus side, at least it takes the time to get them …

It was never going to be long before 1080p screens started to flood the market. With all these high-definition disc formats flying around and those next-gen games consoles just begging to be played, Crave reckons this can only be a good thing. The Samsung LE40F71B (£1,200) is a 1080p LCD with a stylish and dramatic piano-black finish — it certainly …
