Ceton brings major Echo WMC Extender update out of beta, fixes 1080i and more

We've been eagerly tracking Ceton's Echo Windows Media Center Extender since its debut at CES, however as we noted in our review, at launch its appeal was held back by some bugs. The team over there responded to the issues by extending the warranty and return period, and today announced that a patch fixing our biggest issue -- 1080i video playback -- is available to all users. We've been checking out the update in beta and can confirm it works (check out this week's Engadget HD Podcast for more details), and also brings other changes. Those include a new native resolution mode if you'd rather let your TV or other device do the video processing, fully functional Echo settings webpage plus fixes for aspect ratios, color space, green screen issues and much more. Owners can get all the info and find out how to grab the update at the source link -- if you'd like to be in the beta group (no new info on that Android update, yet), you can join just by choosing it in settings.

Nintendo Wii U's TVii Is Out Tomorrow—But with Some Major Missing Pieces

This story will display in ...Dec 19, 2012 10:03 AM  

We've been waiting for the Wii U's cable box/television-controlling TVii features to make it since the system launched late last month. As of tomorrow, it'll finally be here. But without a few key components.

The big omission is DVR capabilities through TiVo. That's the only way to use the Wii U as a DVR, so it's still not all the way there as a multimedia center. The other missing piece is Netflix, though that's slightly less of a concern since the Wii U's had Amazon Instant Video and Hulu Plus since last month.

What is arriving, though, is the cable box functionality as a whole. The default TV remote feature is nice and effective for controlling your television's inputs, or volume, but the wheel-like control panel for TVii makes actually picking the channels much easier, along with other functions. There's also some social network stuff built in. We'll give you a full review once we've had some time to play with it. [Nintendo]
