CES Update and PHOTOS!

[Scott Greczkowski]

Hey guys... I posted this earlier, but here is the photos that went along with the events.

I am still working on the Interviews, I hope to have them up in the AM. While its only 10pm here, its 1 am to my body.

Hey Guys,

Remember to keep checking the talking head on the main page for updates.

So far I went to the XM Press Conference, where they introduced two new XM2GO Portable XM Radio Units.

I will have photos tonight when I get back to my hotel room.

XM also announced that Dr. Laura, G. Gordon Liddy and Tony Kornhizer will be coming to XM in February. No other programming news was announced.

I videotaped the press conference and will try to get it online as soon as possible. I also got a nice interview with XM president Hugh Penero, I will try to get that online tonight as well.

The DirecTV press confernce was for a new programming package which you can get if you have a KVH Mobile Satellite Dish. It is 120 channels from DirecTV and made for those who travel using one of these Roof Mounted Satellite Receiving Units.

I also swung by the Pioneer booth and checked out the new Pioneer Units with XM Nav Track Service, this new service will work in 20 areas (not specified) and will work in conjunction with the navigation system to alert you of problems ahead. The cost of the service is $13.95 a month which also includes XM Radio Service.

I am here at the Press Room with Ryan Alford from SkyReport and SkyRetailer who says HI!

I am off next to the 4pm SIRIUS Press Conference. I will be updating the "talking head" on the front page sometime around 4:30PM Pacific time with any news from that conference.

Again photos will be posted later tonight, and VIDEO will be coming over the weekend.

And that's your 2005 CES Report for now.

I love that talking head. It also follows your curser with its eyes.

Kinda freaky, ain't it?

Ha, I enjoyed that, too! Couldn't help acting out the brady bunch theme, with that head looking up, down, left, right.....

Sounds like a VERY interesting day. I'll be interested if someone at D* spills the beans on near term HD additons, especially Starz-HD and TNT-HD (Cinemax-HD would also be nice).

If you don't want to miss the latest audio update from Scott, just open the www.SatelliteGuys.us Home Page in a separate browser window and leave it minimized. The page is refreshed automatically. The Talking Head only plays the same message twice, but it starts talking again whenever there is a new message. Works almost like an instant voice messaging! I like it!
