    SEC network alternate channel not working?

    I just tried the jumper. Same result. Computer locks up on the BIOS screen but won't allow me to enter BIOS. Grr!!!!! It looks like the motherboard is dead. I guess that is not too bad since it has run near 100% CPU utilization 24/7/365 since '08 or so with only a video card and PSU upgrade.

    A couple of days ago, a neighborhood power transformer shorted out. This caused about 4 or 5 brownouts in the span of about 15 seconds in my house. My old desktop (Velocity Micro Edge E2250) is connected to a surge protector but not a UPS backup. It is left running 24/7 helping World Community...

    Media General Stations Removed from DISH, Agreement Reached

    Scott, is this thread front page worthy? I would think there are a few less informed people trying to get more info on why they can't see their station. Since no one has posted the full list of stations, here it is: WFLA-NBC, Tampa DMA Rank - 14 WNCN-NBC, Raleigh/Durham...

    Sony is shutting down Folding@Home with the new 4.30 firmware update out today. Sad to see it go.

    Join the SatelliteGuys Folding@Home Team with your PS3!

    I finally added my PS3. I'm not sure why it took me so long to get it crunching especially since I am big into BOINC crunching. BTW, Satellite Guys team is 105 out of 215073

    Not loading for me either. In fact, I can't change the channel or cancel the app. I have to turn the receiver off. HR24/200

    Will You Watch the Olympics in 3D?

    I never use my 3D glasses. I will have to dust them off for Olympic coverage on DirecTv.

    Directv dispute with Viacom IS OVER!

    What is shocking to me is the lack of outrage and the slow posting in this thread. I would have thought there would be close to 1000 posts concerning this. I hope Viacom is monitoring this thread and realizes that they better hurry back to the negotiating table since it appears that the world...

    AXStv

    Glad Art and Drinking Made Easy made the cut. I don't understand why they axed Art's uncensored episodes though. They are only on very late at night.
