    Comcast's new DVR services beat satellite

    Haven't tried yet.. so far space hasn't been an issue. Supposedly it is really easy to archive with a MAC.

    Poll: Dish Turnover

    I just switch to Cox.. got their HD DVR (moto 6412), which works very well.. did I mentioned NBR?! PQ is much better.. no pixelation on digital channels. amazingly the analog channels even look better than dish. Dish's channels were so over compressed that they looked like bad internet...

    Comcast's new DVR services beat satellite

    I just picked up a 6412 (with Pioneer Passport software) from Cox cable in Tulsa yesterday. After 1 day i have cancelled dish completely. The 6412 works more reliably, looks better, and supports name based recording (my dish 510 didn't, but supposedly will soon), has a dual-tuner, the remote...

    Mozilla FireFox 0.9.1 Browser

    Under the 'View' menu in IE make sure 'Status Bar' is checked. On the status bar to the far right it should show you which 'zone' you are in. Most of the time it will say 'Internet', unless of course you are browsing an Intranet. Our Intranet isn't setup correctly and mines says 'Unknown...

    811 Still has terrible OTA problems

    Yes, but a 'digital' RPTV such as a DLP, LCOS, or LCD can specifically say pixel 1:1 is red, 1:2 is blue, etc.. whereas a CRT can only approximate where the color is displayed. Given, CRT's approximate that quite well, but that is why you don't see a big difference between component cable...

    811 Still has terrible OTA problems

    The page you referenced is a CRT based projection TV, which would be analog. The only digital RPTV's are LCD, LCOS, or DLP based. The TV you referenced has a digital video processor, but the final output device (CRT) is still analog. dang.. missed the page 2 reference. sorry!

    DirecTV quality *BLOWS* Dish out of the water

    I had both services for about a week and I would put both receivers on the same station and use my AV Receiver to switch the source back and forth. For the most part I think Dish looked better on the premium channels. They were about the same on regular channels and dish was lower on...

    921 & 811 Listed on Dish Network Website (Sort of!)

    Agreed, but you did say: Generally, hacking a website in any way IS considered illegal. He didn't HACK anything. I also wouldn't consider viewing the source of a webpage unethical, nor would I consider redisplaying the uncommented source of a website unethical. :rolleyes:

    921 & 811 Listed on Dish Network Website (Sort of!)

    Wow.. to clue you in, HTML is a clear-text language, meaning it is not encrypted. Viewing the 'source' of a website is not illegal in any way and is not protected by any laws. Basically if your web browser can display it (or it is commented out in code) it is free game for viewing, even if...

    smoking legislation/2nd hand smoke

    Oh, meant to add that if it weren't for my baby-sitter smoking when I was a child I most likely wouldn't have asthma to begin with. I'm the only person in my familty to have it. Gotta love smokers forcing the health hazards of smoking onto others.

    smoking legislation/2nd hand smoke

    There is no excuse.. Where did I say I wanted to open a bar? Seems to me you are the blathering idiot. I said walk into a bar. Here in Tulsa there isn't a lot of choices for non-smoking establishments. So I go to places until I find one that doesn't have much (if any) smoke. While I'm...

    smoking legislation/2nd hand smoke

    So using your logic I should be able to walk into a bar with a baseball bat and start bashing in heads? I mean I should be able to do what I want right? You're probably thinking that you can't hit people with a baseball bat because that harms them. Well using your line of logic, then LEAVE if...
