    I heard just the other day that Netflix is dominating the market and making good money even with the recession. They are now starting to get greedy. The prices of Blue-Ray are going down. Netflix is taking advantage of it customers now. I may just have to drop them.

    Sirius XM Prepares Bankruptcy Filing

    They should have at least tried an advertising model like network TV. They also WAY overpaid Howard Stern and others. Another saga of poor business management.

    My 211 DVR function is activated

    Put another one of my homemade EHD on my son's 211. The receiver picked it up, formatted and works like a charm. Centre Zdisc enclosure + 300gb Maxtor EIDE drive. Cost me about $35 bucks 11 months ago.

    Just got my family room 211 activated. 3 calls to CSR (finally tech support got it working with a second "hit") Using an external drive setup that I built with a 200gb EIDE drive. So, it is basically a kit. No problems interfacing. The 200gb drive gives me 18.x hours of storage for HD. Enough...

    New software killed my 622's

    My guide has been acting funky since the 511 firmware hit my 622. It messed up a few timers and has been recording old shows as new. I had to do a hard boot and check switch to get it back to normal (well....it appears to be).

    What's up with closing the VOOM threads?

    Well, he is kinda right...Voom DID suck. Voom cut their own throats. Voom = failure.

    Connecting PS3 to the internet...

    The wireless router is the best way to go. However, you can hard wire the PS3 to the router if needed (granted both devices are in the same location unless you want to run a long ethernet cable) You will get the best possible/reliable connection for your PS3 this way. Also, another good reason...

    Dish Network Earnings Call

    I second that. Voom needed to be dropped. It's like public TV, some good programming but not but so popular with the mainstream audiences. Dish needs to make money. They FINALLY admintted that DirecTV was doing the right thing by loading up the "mainstream" popular HD.

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    My son liked it (he is 15 and big gamer) but he said that he prefers G4 because they have Oliva Munn on Attack of the Show. I don't blame him. She is freakin smokin hot!

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    So Scott, since Dish abruptly dropped 10 HD channels, what do you think Dish will replace them with?

    Statement from Dish Network on VOOM Takedown

    So, what value does the HD Ultimate bring you for $10 a month? Boom, you just lost 10 channels, but you still get to pay $10 more?
