The full lineup of events has yet to be announced, but you can bet they’ll be live streaming it all from ESPN and YouTube online so you can record it all.
US Open – Tennis
When: August 27 – September 9
The U.S. Open Tennis Tournament is the only Grand Slam Tennis Tournament played in the United States, which is only part of the reason why we get so worked up about it year after year. While we’re currently wrapped up in all that the French Open is giving to us, we’ll have to wait a bit longer before the event makes it back “home” to the U.S.A. We’ll keep you in the loop as it gets closer, but you can be sure that the games will live stream online through BLANK, making it easy to record and save it all!

It’s the fastest, most powerful way to legally record every major summer sports event happening this year. Here’s how it’s done:
At almost this time last year, we were watching the Warriors crush the Cavs in an epic 2017 NBA Finals. With the regular season wrapping up this year already, we’re looking forward to another action-packed postseason basketball. The final rosters are set for April 13, with the 2018 NBA Playoffs officially starting on April 14. Some other key dates to know for the postseason include:
Conference Semifinals on April 30 or May 1 (but could be moved up to April 28 or 29)
Conference Finals on May 15 or 16 (but could be moved up to May 13 or 14)
The Finals on May 31, running as late as June 17
Figuring out who will be going head to head is driving some folks crazy; there are so many different scenarios that could play out, it’s no wonder that NBA fans are trying to understand from every angle. Bleacher Report put it best in their recent Playoff Picture when they said:
“From the San Antonio Spurs clinching their 21st straight trip to the playoffs despite Kawhi Leonard not playing, Russell Westbrook clinching a spot for the Oklahoma City Thunder on the strength of his triple-double or Anthony Davis literally putting the New Orleans Pelicans on his back and dragging them into the postseason, these last few days of the regular season have been amazing.”
Things are starting to become more clear, though. As it stands today, these are our highlighted brackets…
Eastern Bracket:
Raptors (1) vs. Wizards (8)
Cavaliers (4) vs. Pacers (5)
Sixers (3) vs. Heat (6)
Celtics (2) vs. Bucks (7)
Western Bracket:
Rockets (1) vs. Timberwolves (8)
Jazz (4) vs. Pelicans (5)
Blazers (3) vs. Spurs (6)
Warriors (2) vs. Thunder (7)

If March Madness 2018 is anything like the regular season, we’re in for an intense and totally unpredictable postseason tournament. Trust us, you’re not going to want to miss a minute. While nothing’s ever set-in-stone, FiveThirtyEight statistics are pointing to a few clear regional leads who may continue to advance:
“Only half of the schools that reached their respective regionals are ones a majority thought would reach this point. This group includes No. 1 Villanova, No. 1 Kansas, No. 2 Purdue, No. 2 Duke, No. 3 Michigan, No. 4 Gonzaga and No. 5 Kentucky…
The remainder of the Sweet 16 field is compromised of a rag-tag collection of double-digit seeds—No. 11 Loyola-Chicago and No. 11 Syracuse pulled off back-to-back upsets to shock the world—and middle-seeded programs that weren’t given much of a chance to get through their pod because a consensus powerhouse was blocking the way through the bracket.”
Additionally, the NCAA March Madness Twitter account just recently tweeted out the most updated brackets:

February has absolutely flown by, and we all know what another new month means: brand new movies and TV shows on Netflix!

If you’re like us and can barely handle the anticipation, first take a deep breath – there will be plenty of awesome entertainment hitting your screen soon. You can find the full list of upcoming shows and movies, and take a look at some of the highlights right here. Don’t forget to update your Replay Video Capture software so you can capture every episode, past, present, and future.
B: The Beginning – March 2
A brand new Netflix original, B: The Beginning is a 10-episode anime production that follows genius investigator Keith Flick as he rejoins the royal police force. As he’s settling in, a serial killer referred to as “B” emerges and becomes an immediate threat. For fans of anime and animated series, this one is as suspenseful as it is creative and beautifully done.
In the Marvel world, there is no shortage of kick-butt heroes and Jessica Jones is one of them. Following the end of her short-lived career as a superhero in NYC, the show focuses on Jessica Jones as she tries to rebuild her life as a private investigator. As part of the Marvel universe as it exists on Netflix today, we’re loving how the storylines and character development of one show can bleed into another so easily. If you’re a fan of Luke Cage, you’ll definitely want to check this one out if you haven’t already.
Ladies First is a classic, true tale of bravery and bringing yourself up from nothing. Deepika Kumari was born into poverty and very limited women’s rights in India. Through the doubts of many, she was able to become the fifth-ranked athlete in the world in women’s archery and a gold medal winner at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. This documentary follows her childhood, training, and eventual win that made her famous around the world.
Their relationship might not be considered “conventional,” but in the modern world, who really knows what makes the perfect couple? Judd Apatow’s quirky take on a romantic comedy, Love, is wrapping up with its final season (3). The comedic series has been described as having a “down-to-earth look at dating” that explores different perspectives on romantic relationships. With some squirmy moments and some “awww” moments, it’s definitely a charmer.
You can watch Love on Netflix and record it all with Replay Video Capture.
On My Block – March 16
Growing up is hard enough without being in Los Angeles. On My Block is a new Netflix Original comedy series that follows the coming-of-age take of four friends as they navigate life in inner-city LA. This highly-anticipated, half-hour comedy series was co-created by ”Awkward” creator Lauren Iungerich and is the female-led breakthrough show we all needed growing up.
Game Over, Man! is a new comedy from (most of) the production team behind Workaholics, that follows three friends on the verge of finally getting funding to start their own video game company. Surprise, surprise, though — something goes wrong! Their main financier is suddenly taken hostage, complicating the situation and forcing them to rescue him before it’s too late.
What was once simply a super-popular children’s book series has been revived once more for the screen. A Series of Unfortunate Events (the series) is a Netflix Original that grabbed viewers immediately with Neil Patrick Harris’ portrayal of the strange, slightly evil Count Olaf. Based on the children’s novel series of the same name by Lemony Snicket, the Baudelaire orphans are placed into the care of their distant relative (Olaf), a man constantly plotting to get their fortune for himself.
With all these amazing new movies and shows on Netflix, you should be set until the next month of new content arrives (we hope!). Replay Video Capture is the ultimate Netflix downloader!

With Replay Video Capture, you can record anything from Netflix to watch and enjoy later – it’s the perfect tool for building up your personal media library with all the best entertainment that the Internet has to offer.
The Super Bowl LII matchup is set and we’re counting the days until the chosen teams duke it out for the championship title.
The Philadelphia Eagles and the New England Patriots will be gracing the field together for the first time in over a decade. In fact, this will be the Eagles’ first revisit to the Super Bowl since 2005, when they were bested by the Patriots. Will this be their chance for vindication? Keep in mind that the Patriots currently hold five wins, and this year, are making a record 10th appearance at the Super Bowl overall. That’s a first for any other team out there.
On the halftime schedule, Justin Timberlake will be taking the stage to promote his new album. Other musical acts on the roster include Pink singing the National Anthem, and “Hamilton” star and Tony-award winner Leslie Odom Jr. will sing “America the Beautiful” during the pre-game show.
Where to Watch the 2018 Super Bowl Online

If you’re anything like us, you can hardly go a day without opening up YouTube to watch a video online. Plus, with the cold winter season settled in and making us want to stay warm and cozy, it’s inevitable that YouTube is in for a boost in viewership. While the popular video streaming site makes it possible to watch videos on any topic, served up by folks from all walks of life, there are still more cool things to be discovered.
Ready for the most entertaining YouTube experience of your life? Check out our top tips, tricks, and hacks to help kick your viewing up a notch.
1. Create an auto-lineup of your favorites
Have a few favorite YouTubers that you binge-watch again and again? You can create a meta playlist that holds ALL of the video uploads from a single uploader (in order of upload date, chronologically). To do this, just add “&list=UL” to any video URL on YouTube.
(GIF via 1 Live)
2. Conquer country-specific videos
Sometimes, YouTube videos can have restrictions based on geographic regions. That’s why you’ll get that “The uploader has not made this video available in your country” pop-up message when you stumble on a cool video from far away. Luckily, this trick lets you watch any video from any country.
Copy the string of characters defined by our “xxxx” example above, and paste it so that the URL is: http://www.youtube.com/v/xxxx
3. Watch in HD mode all the time
High definition is ALWAYS better, but sometimes your Internet connection can get in the way. Unlock HD mode by adding a couple of secret codes to the end of your video URL. Get stereo sound and 480×270 resolution with “&fmt=18”, or “&fmt=22” for 1280×720 resolution.
We’re all for keeping PG-13 videos for more mature eyes only, but sometimes the age restrictions on YouTube videos can be bothersome for legal adults. Instead of signing in or clicking through to verify your age, just add “nsfw.” to the beginning of your entire video’s URL, so that it appears like this: nsfw.youtube.com
5. Hunt for all the hidden Easter eggs
Cleverly hidden in YouTube’s source code are secrets just waiting to be discovered and unlocked. Here are some of our favorites:
Search “Beam me up Scotty” and your results will show up like they were transported through space.
Repeat any video (forever!) by right-clicking on the video and selecting “Loop.”
Like old games? Type the numbers “1980” while your video is playing and the Missile Control game will appear.
An homage to the Wadsworth Constant, a meme that stated the first 30% of any video isn’t worth your time, you can enter “&wadsworth=1” at the end of a YouTube video URL and it’ll auto-skip the first 30% for you.
YouTube launched their support for 360-degree videos earlier in 2016, letting users have a complete view of key videos and live events. With Chrome installed on your computer, you can rotate around and see every angle just by using your mouse. On mobile through the YouTube app, a simple screen swivel can lead you into new 360-degree journeys.
7. Download videos & turn audio files into MP3s
Take your favorite videos with you, in any file type you need! With Replay Media Catcher, you can download YouTube videos with just one quick drag-and-drop movement and automatically convert YouTube to MP3, WMV, AVI and more popular file formats.
