    Smoking Vegas

    If you're staying at an older property everything will probably smell of smoke. The newer ones all have extensive air filtration systems, but they actually have developed trademark scents that they spray throughout the property which may be more irritating if you have a really sensitive nose...

    TMP channel chart

    Which is irrelevant if the single-dish solution for the EA that you have hundreds of millions of dollars invested in can't. Dish will not make the mistake of requiring multiple dishes for standard installs again.

    Nascar 2009

    If you include Nationwide and trucks 18 wins is a solid over/under. Sprint Cup is a total crap shoot without testing (just look at all the engine failures) and I think the only chance for any driver to get more than 5 wins this season is to sweep the road courses. (Where Kyle Busch and Jeff...

    D12... I want everyone's feelings on this.

    ^^ I don't know. Maybe the addition of D12 will allow DirecTV to boost the power output on their existing Ka low transponder licenses and they can increase bandwidth through modulation changes (i.e. 8PSK).

    Reasonable source for 4GB DDR2 PC-6400 chips?

    Go directly to the memory manufacturers. Kingston.com sells 4GB modules and I'm sure Crucial, Corsair, etc. do as well. If you really need that much memory for a serious application, you should probably be looking at enterprise class fully buffered ecc hardware. If you just want the most...

    The DirecTV uplink activity is much more impressive. DBSTalk.Com - View Single Post - All New: Complete LIL TPN Map - Data of 10/29/08 If your pour through the data gct posted it looks like DirecTV intends to keep their promise to carry all HD locals. Practically every single major and...

    FOX NEWS HD - Where are you?

    Fox News has a heavy pro-Republican (not necessarily conservative) bias. On the other hand MSNBC has a heavy liberal bias. The current incarnation of CNN tries to split the middle and has at least succeed in that each side believes they are too much of a shill for the other.

    Obama tax plan scaring some MLB free agents

    Because the team owner, league, merchandise licensees, etc. reap substantially more than $1 million from that player's efforts?

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    The requirements could easily be satisfied by a year old $400 PC. The problem is PC manufactures have been allowed to emphasize fairly useless features while ignoring the critical subsystems that actually drive performance. Until consumers demand that integrated graphics meet a minimal...

    Uplink Activity Report - 10/22/2008 1:02pm - 176 changes

    Unfortunately, I think most E* subs will be thinking about D* recent adds like Fox News, Crime & Investigation and long time snubs like FX and Speed.

    DirecTV-2-PC Public Beta

    HDCP is only required if you're going to a digital output. Analog VGA works just fine, but I think it causes some content to be downrezed to 960x540 to comply with Hollywood.

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    Updated my audio driver to the latest RealTek HD Audio Driver from the standard Windows Vista HD Audio driver and now it's fixed. DirecTV should update their playback advisor tool to test for secure audio path support.

    DirecTV2PC Issues & Feedback

    On some of my recordings, I'm getting an error about the audio being protected content and it stops playback and suggests I update my driver.

    DirecTV-2-PC Public Beta

    Your PC is a piece of junk as far as mpeg4 decoding goes. It's very conspicuous that you did not mention a graphics card specification. I'll assume you have Intel "Extreme" Graphics (what a joke) or some similar integrated entry level graphics processor. The mpeg4 avc algorithm is very complex...

    Dish Adds New Local Hd Channels

    And several other large markets in the western US. It is extremely unlikely that they will be added until the Ciel 2 satellite is launched and delivered sometime in 2009. If you want HD locals your choice is to put up an antenna (you probably won't be able to get KVBC, our NBC HD) or...
