    Wiping out a non-functioning hard drive

    I have a hard drive that just went bad, that I believe is still under warranty, but doesn't seem to want to spin up and/or be recognized by the PC anymore. Fortunately, I have the data backed up somewhere else. Now, I'd like to send it in to be replaced, but there is some personal financial...

    Anyone know of any good educational kids games? (4 - 5 year olds)

    I just got an old PC (5 year old 1GHz Celeron, 192MB RAM) from a family member, which I just wiped clean and put a fresh copy of XP on. It runs now and I'm going to give it to my 4 year old for Christmas to play around with. I don't plan on hooking up the internet to it, so I'm looking for...

    Cleaning off a 942

    Does anyone know if there is a simple way to completely clear off a 942 (erase shows / schedules / etc) before sending it back? Such as a single command. I see a factory reset option in the system menus, but it doesn't seem to clear off the shows. Just being lazy here and don't want to click...

    No guide info after reboot today

    I had to (soft) reboot my Voom STB (for the first time in weeks) this morning. I then went to work. When I came back tonight, I had guide info for the satellite channels, but not for the locals. So I decided to hard reboot this time. Well, it's been about 2 hours and now I have no PG info...

    This may be old news, but there are some Voom banners on ESPN's web site now. And if you go into the 'Game Update' section for the Tennessee Miami game, it has an 'ESPN NFL presented by Voom' banner across the top.
