    Dish and the AZ monsoon season Question

    I live in northwest AZ and I don't have many issues at all. I think I had one outage the entire time we had those huge storms roll through in January. Note I have a very clear LOS, as well. 110/119/129

    Anyone tried using a late-model Acer AspireRevo as a media center computer?

    I think it would be fine for streaming 1080p. And yeah, it doesn't look like it has the room for any sot of cards, except maybe mini-pci. Hard to tell without owning one, though.

    Patched Palm Pre on Sprint; unlimited everything $59/mo

    sprint.com says pre release is june 6

    Got mine today. We don't have a sprint corp store, only 3rd party retai; and they only had four phones. I was #2 in line this morning and lets just say there was a lot of angry complaining when they ran out. The phone rocks and I love it. Fast, stable, smooth and beautiful.

    Recommendations-Live Drive Imaging Software

    If you can afford it, I would go with Acronis True Image. It does absolutely everything you want, and more.

    I've never had SERO. It looked nice but I just never got it. I am, however, going to get a pre tomorrow. I can't wait! :-)

    According to this post, the Pre will run $549 off-contract. I'd want to try out the pre first before I plunk down $550 for it, but it looks nice! Also: Who the f*@#$@ uses mail in rebates anymore? Those things are worthless. :D

    ANTI VIRUS SOFTWARE

    I second that recommendation. I have ESET at home, and we use AVG at work. Not impressed with AVG in the slightest. NOD32 has never failed me! :D

    Install of 722 Sunday Question

    No, for purposes of an install an HDTV is not required as all of the 722's outputs are active at the same time. The 722 will down-convert the HD channels over non-HD outputs (S-Video/Composite, unsure about component as I do not yet own a 722).

    My cat lays on top of my Dish receiver

    WD40 keeps cats away from anything... it has fish oil in it and cats hate fish oils. Try giving your cat some tuna that came packed in a can of oil.. they will not go near it.

    Help getting new TV in future

    I have that exact TV. I purchased it last month and I am VERY pleased. I got mine off of TigerDirect (w/ stand) for $989+shipping (they had an excellent sale going on). Excellent PQ and enough inputs for me to do what I need with (my HDMI is handled by my receiver, however).

    Pics of the system after adding the Sub-12 and Denon AVR-1909

    Those rears look nice. I also have the rental-home problem but I think my living room is a bit larger. How did you mount those up? I have some JBL Stadium 6" bookshelves that I'd like to mount but they have no brackets on the back.

    IE 7 Policy/Security

    There is a way to do it via group policy. It's a computer setting, I believe. We used to do it at my pervious place of employment. The setting is called "Prevent access to drives from My Computer."

    problems with XP SP3

    I initially had problems with a few machines, but AFAIK only because we loaded an image created on a machine with an Intel processor. The processors we use in our machines are Athlon 64 5200+.
