This week we'll take a look at several different approaches to the future of TV, with a review of the Simple.TV box, a quick preview of Ceton's Echo and the state of CableCARD support in Windows 8. The Boxee TV is also hitting the streets, so we'll take a look at that, as well as word of more sales domination by Samsung. We' also got another non-CFF related update from UltraViolet before we check out this week's TV picks.

While we've still got plenty of iPad second screen and streaming video tech to talk about this week, we're leading off with some old classics: FCC rulings, DVRs and Windows Media Center.

We reviewed the new Slingboxes this week, and will go over what they got right -- and what they didn't -- before we dig into what's new to watch this week.
