In that case I think I'll just give it to Salvation Army!!! Thanks

I don't like losing "On the Rocks". Sigh.....

I am getting ready for a move and came across my old Ultimate TV receiver. I don't want to just toss it. Is it worth anything? If I put it on Craig's list or EBay what should I expect to get for it?

If it weren't for the fact that I'm a news junkie I could get everything I want from my computer and watch it via internet, piped to my TV. Sure all of the normal shows would be a day late, but so what? I can get all my baseball that way, and most of my NCAA football. There is going to be a...

Yes, and over on The Green Button. I'm trying not to get excited about this, but if I could get rid of a boat load of boxes and run wire instead I would become an instant hero in my house!!!!! :D

I understand that there is some news of a new box for we users of Media Center PCs. If so it's going to be a really big deal for us.

How many of you have had your significant other say that to you when you wanted to either upgrade your programming or your equipment? Mine just can't get past the fact that HD won't work on all of our sets and ISN'T going to work on all the sets. I'm getting around this because she wants...

Not that I really have a lot against any of this, but it might be better. If people had to seek out their vices a little harder it might be a little easier to control the real thugs of society. Just my pov.

When I can see Formula One in HD I will know Speed has arrived!

I love my LG. After ten minutes of no change in the picture the TV CUTS OFF!!! I never have to worry about the other half walking out of the room to do something and forgetting that the plasma was paused. Of course she thought it was broken the first time!!! Of course the HR20 has a screen...

One huge improvement of the HR20 is that I no longer have to go get a Coke while waiting on my list of recorded programs to come up. I've still got an SD Tivo and while I love all the functions, you best not be in a hurry for something on that hard drive.

I, for one, will not be handing out the extra five bucks. What bothers me is that D* might decide to just add one or two other good channels to that pack so that it becomes an almost have to have. For instance if they added Food Network HD or SciFi HD to that pack I would be in the position of...

I disagree. I think that this is the end for CNBC and MSNBC as well. The are already nitch channels and now they are going to be as irrelevent as the Game Show Network. FBC is going to be the big guy on the block because they have Fox News to advertise for them. Without even knowing the line up...

Ignore my last post, I just found out that you can't get an HD signal to a media center PC yet. That went back to my original post of just wanting to be able to wire everything together.

Why not just use an HD ready graphics card with a tuner? A lot less money. Am I missing something?
