Vizio Co-Star update features Google Play enhancements, beefed up performance

By Adam Poltrack Published November 13, 2012

It seems Vizio’s Co-Star set-top box has received an update just in time for the holidays. Headlining the move is an enhanced Google Play experience, which allows users to not only buy or rent directly through the Google Play Store, but to auto-sync purchases made on other devices with their Co-Star unit. Faster navigation, improved Audio/Video HDMI stability, and better Netflix functionality are a few more of the billed benefits.

Put those all together, and you’ve got a pretty significant free upgrade to a device that already provides value. At just $100, the Co-Star compares favorably to other set-tops with respect to price point, and now it has received a functional boost that further justifies the expenditure; not to mention auto-syncing from other devices saves you from having to buy the same app twice.

The update became available yesterday and will automatically take effect over the coming days.

The best free VPNs for 2026

The best free VPNs still come with compromises, but a few offer enough privacy and flexibility to be genuinely useful.

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well.

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.

The best Kindle in 2026: Here are the top Kindles for reading

From a pocket-friendly e-reader to a premium color notebook, Amazon has a Kindle for almost every kind of reader.

There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.

Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
