    Are Internet movies downloaded or streamed?

    I have 54mbps through Time Warner. I would think that would be adequate download speeds for VOD. I wish I knew why my downloads always look soft with obvious compression issues. For what it's worth, I'm using a Hopper with Sling connected to my A/V receiver then to my TV. It's certainly not the...

    Yes, the video card is doing crunching but the work unit was at 99% and stayed there for about 30 minutes. And then dropped down to 88%. I am confused, hehe.

    My GPU has been stuck at 99.99%. I assume this will eventually go to 100% complete right? Edit: It's now back down to 88%. Strange.

    I'm folding under the name of nintres. I chose that because there are a ton of 'Bruuces.'

    Just wanted to say I jumped on board with you guys. Although I am using a meager i7 3770K processor and GTX 760. Let's see what we can do. :)

    Are Internet movies downloaded or streamed?

    I assume you are talking about VOD? They are downloaded. Let's say you try to play an on demand movie you had watched earlier. It will start automatically without downloading again. The reason the file doesn't take up as much space is because the quality is poorer than the quality on a...

    How Long Have you Had HD?

    I bought an HDTV and PS3 in late 2006 and enjoyed HD so much, I've continually upgraded my equipment since then. In 2008, I went with Dish Network because I was so frustrated that my local cable company's feed would frequently pause, continue, and pause again during live viewings. It was...

    A.D.: The Bible Continues

    Agreed. Like teachsac said, once the hour is up, I'm craving for more. Can't wait for next week.

    A.D.: The Bible Continues

    I enjoyed this as well, although there was too much 'network drama.' I'm not a big fan of drama TV shows. I did like the ending of ep.1 though.

    What is your current phone?

    iPhone 6 128GB. I don't ever plan to upgrade this phone lol. I'm tired of the phone trade in merry go round and figured 128GB of space will last me quite a while. I also wanted to get ready for the influx of high resolution audio incoming very soon.

    Longhorn Game not in HD

    Add me as another who was greatly disappointed that the game was not playing on the HD channel. The only reason I bumped up my service was so I could watch the games, in HD if possible. No point in advertising the channel in HD if you have no plans in using it.
