    Sirius Announces Super Bowl Plans!

    Rules. There are already some rules in place to prevent teams from using certain technology during games, and this would fall in that category.

    DVR HD Does it require a Phone Line?

    Why do the HD DVR's require a phone line and some of the other receivers don't? Apparently with Dish you don't need a phone line at all, even for activation, so if I ever switched from cable I would probably lean to Dish just for that reason. I don't see why I should be forced to install and pay...

    How do you have the antenna connected on the back? Did you remove the diplexer?

    Sirius Announces Super Bowl Plans!

    No German broadcast! That's the only one I would have sampled since I know some German. A pretty impressive lineup nonetheless.

    Blu-Ray and HD-DVD downconverts your output!!!

    The flexibility is only because of there aren't portable players, not because there won't be, so it's not really a "restriction." I haven't seen any prices released, so while I do expect them to be a bit higher, I don't think they'll be that much higher. The price point is about as high as it...

    Motorola 6416 DVR available?

    The last two digits determine the hard drive size, so the 6412 has a 120GB drive and the 6416 has a 160GB drive. I haven't heard of the 6416 being available anywhere yet though.

    Welcome to the Awaited New High Definition "DVDs"

    I think The Matrix trilogy, Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Harry Potter are impressive launch titles.

    TOSHIBA INTRODUCES LINE-UP OF FIRST HD DVD PLAYERS for the U.S. MARKET

    Doubtful on the xvid and divx, although it does say it will play CD's, including MP3 and WMA. "Didn't you always want to have your digital devices connect to your "Broadband Internet Network". Connect this baby through the rear Ethernet standard RJ45 modular jack or either of the two front...

    Analyst Declares Blu-Ray the Winner

    I have noticed that DVD+R compatibility is conspicuous in its absence from all of Toshiba's specs. I'm hoping to be able to bring in one of my DVD+R's and test it out before possibly buying one of the units. I don't think this will make or break my decision, since I have a couple other players...

    Samsung to launch dual-standard DVD player (maybe not!)

    Not sure how reputable this is, but this was posted yesterday indicating that they're not going forward with the dual format player: http://www.engadget.com/2006/01/10/samsung-sez-combo-hd-dvd-blu-ray-player-is-a-no-go/

    Welcome to the Awaited New High Definition "DVDs"

    I think it will, not just becuse of the higher resolution, but because the studios will go to great lengths to make these first titles the absolute best HD they can do. The launch titles are some of the biggest movies of the past 10 years, and they will go out of their way to make them amazing...

    Comcast DVR Quality?

    Yes, I believe they are enabled on the SA8300HD, at least in some areas.

    BestBuy and ValueElectronics are taking pre-orders for Toshiba HD DVD!

    No, at least not without a firmware "fix" - the Best Buy site clearly says "480p component video output" I hope you're right. It would be very bizarre if it couldn't play DVD+R disks.

    BestBuy and ValueElectronics are taking pre-orders for Toshiba HD DVD!

    I saw that buried in the specs, and I was wondering if it meant only HD-DVR-R or actual DVD-R. I didn't think any companies would ever release a player again that wouldn't play DVD+R (or DVD-R). Surely dual-format playback is cheap enough now. I'll wait until they're on the shelf and see if it...

    CBS' Survivor Returns Feb. 2 With New Twists

    I like the sound of the new twists. And the sooner the better! I always though the three-tribe format worked well in all-stars and am glad they're bringing back the more-than-2 tribe format, if only for one episode. And the exile island thing intrigues me, although I don't expect it to affect...

    Interesting conversation w/CSR on customer retention....

    I haven't work at Dish, but I did work at a call center, and during training they specifically mentioned the difference between "threatening to cancel" and actually requesting to cancel. If someone said something like "if you do that, I'm going to cancel" then we weren't supposed to do anything...

    Comcast DVR Quality?

    Where are you located John? I've read in multiple places that Comcast doesn't support external SATA drives and has actually said that they never will. Do you have a Motorola or SA DVR?

    Activated Voom Receiver

    If they can get through the menus it may be activated. When I turned on a box that wasn't activated, the first thing that popped up was a message that it wasn't activated and I couldn't get past that. If they can't guarantee it I would avoid it though.

    My Two Favorite Shows go Bye-Bye

    Is Curb Your Enthusiasm cancelled? I couldn't find any mention of this in any articles. Or did you just mean they're gone for awhile, since they just had their season finale recently??

    Ok... Now they Have Me Pissed! (Dish Audit Police)

    Wow, I don't have Dish, but if I did and they made me go through all that I'd probably just hang up, or not answer at all. If I'm paying all my bills don't call me! And I wouldn't pay for a phone line just to hook up a dish receiver to either. Dish keeps saying it's cheaper than cable, but do...

    How do we now if VOOM reciver is still activated?

    If you can get into the menus that all, then my understanding is that the box is still activated. If it's not, you'll get a "needs activation" screen right when you turn on the box. Another concern is whether or not the firmware on the box is new enough to let you scan for local...

    Probst Sticks with Survivor

    Good to have this confirmed. Of course the whole thing was all rumor about him leaving, and Jeff himself said he had no intentions of leaving. There are more details in other articles. He's signed for four more seasons (two more years) to bring the total he's hosted up to 16...

    'Earl' Heads to Thursdays, 'Scrubs' Back as NBC Shakes Up Schedule

    That's all reality TV has ever been. A lot of people get really hung up on the NAME of the genre and don't focus on the show itself. My philosophy is if I like a show, I'll watch it. I don't get hung up on if the name of the genre matches what's actually on the show. And I think Survivor is one...
