    Does your Gamestop do this?

    lawsuit Gamestop got in a bunch of trouble in 03 for selling used games as new. Now they are being investigated over the employees playing games and selling as new. They haven't been purchased by anyone before, but they are used! I got Left 4 Dead this way and argued with the guy it wasn't...

    Clear QAM channels (Tampa)

    They had the big networks, but not ion. The other day most of them disappearred in new port richey. All that I get right now is 8, 3, 16 and 38 I think. I use an antenna, so I don't really use the qam. We get free cable in the apartment, so I have the QAM in the samsung hd box to play with...

    Akimbo cancels boxes and media center

    Thanks for the info on the 360. I used that feature with itunes podcast, just didn't think about Akimbo. My understanding was that Joost will be supported by ads. But that could definately be wrong. I know that companies usually screw the people that paid. That is the one really good...

    Akimbo cancels boxes and media center

    Akimbo is stopping support of the RCA boxes, and the Windows Media Center on August 1st. They are only supporting their own software. This stinks because you won't be able to stream it through the Xbox 360. I do give them credit though. They are refunding lifetime memberships, minus the...

    ATSC/NTSC Confusion

    If I understand rookie right, there is only 1 input on the TV he wants to get. The Vizio vx37l only has 1 input. My Dad's TV only has 1 input as well. It scans for analog, then digital with one input. You are pretty much screwed with getting cable and antenna. They are right about using a...

    How far can you reach???

    I'm in Clermont, FL which is straight west of Orlando by 20 miles or so. I can get Fort Myers, and West Palm Beach stations on some nights with my mini-state antenna. The WPB ones are around 180 miles I think. Of course this is at night.

    Any XM renewal deals available?

    I called to cancel the other day, and they offered $6.95 a month for a year I believe. I was cancelling, so I wasn't interested. Give it a try.

    VDC.com complains to FCC against Turner

    VDC.com (virtual digital cable) is complaining since Turner won't give them access to their channels. This would be huge if companies had to give access to their channels to internet cable companies. You can read more at their blog http://blog.vdc.com/

    "The Tube" gone from Minneapolis (WUCW 23-2)??

    Just noticed this missing too I got home finally from a long Christmas vacation, and went to turn on the tube while checking the forums. It's gone in Tampa. 38 is just showing a stretched format on the sub channel. None of our sub-channels show educational either. Just the PBS of course.
