Scott, I have sent you a PM. For the record, my name is not "Thom" and I do not have any problem with Joe. I'm sorry if what I said was considered "bashing", that was not my intent. Since it seems I am not wanted on this board, I will stop posting altogether. Thank you to all that have...

Despite the negativity about cards by some, I have been looking into this topic myself. As Magic Static notes, it depends a lot on what software you plan to use with the card, and that will in a large part depend on how comfortable you are with Linux. There are guys like UpdateLee who can make...

Saw it featured near the bottom of this page: http://www.dmsiusa.com/satellite-receivers/ Also there is a spec sheet here: http://www.dmsiusa.com/files/5713/9811/6752/androiddvb-s2.pdf It's listed as "Coming Soon". I would like to see a review when it arrives, since this is the first...

Vondertrenk, have fun with your new gear!

You are not the only one. My thinking is that it doesn't even have to "stream", necessarily. XBMC is pretty configurable when it comes to video sources, so if the recordings are placed in files that are located in a shared directory (one that is accessible as a network share) and are a format...

FaT Air's post got me to thinking, there is some stuff they sell now called Emergency Repair Tape. In some stores it's in the plumbing department but in others it's in their tape section, sometimes near the paint. It's a rather thick black or dark grey tape with paper on one side that peels...

Please let us know when you find out something, because right now whether it can work as a backend for XBMC could play a pivotal role in a purchase decision. If there is a way for the A3 to work as a backend to XBMC, or as a tuner for MythTV or TVHeadEnd or maybe another XBMC-supported PVR...

If you can run XBMC on it, how does it interact with the receiver? Normally XBMC requires one of its "supported" backends, such as TVHeadEnd or MythTV. Unless someone has written an XBMC PVR addon for Spark2, I don't understand how XBMC could utilize it. Also, do you know if the "old" XBMC box...

Well you guys have confirmed my suspicions. I thought that guy on eBay was out of touch with reality, or maybe hoping a real sucker or a collector of antique electronics would happen by, but I just wanted to make sure that there wasn't some hidden value in the thing. I'll probably wind up...

Hi, maybe you folks can help me understand something. I've got an old General Instruments 450i receiver, actually rebranded as "Digital Innovations", but it's a 450i, that looks exactly like one on currently being sold Fleabay except for the branding. I was going to include a link but I guess...

When I was a kid I used to love the first warm days after the snow melted because it meant I could ride my bike to school instead of taking the school bus. I think that was the activity I loved the most!

I am looking forward to springtime because this has been the worst winter ever where I live - we have set new records for low temperatures and amount of snow received. I am looking forward to spring so that the view past the end of my driveway is no longer blocked by huge mounds of snow and...
