    Different marketing strategy

    Hamilton Radio Shack offers free gun with new Dish Network service I wonder how long it will be before Dish has something to say about this.

    Question About Netflix Streaming Movie Service

    Unfortunately, I don't see this becoming too much of a reality in the immediate future. Streaming video like Netflix, especially in HD, is putting a tremendous burden on ISP's and upstream bandwidth providers. Somebody has to pay for the upgraded infrastructure to allow for more bandwidth, and...

    VPN router recomendations

    I use a Draytek 2930 Dual Wan Router for home use. It allows me to load balance and VPN with no problems. However, most people don't need/use a dual WAN system, so there are cheaper options the OP may want to explore.

    PlayStation Hacker Must Hand His Hard Drive Over to Sony

    I don't think so, but IANAL. In the DirecTV case, defendants purchased hardware that could be used to circumvent the TPM's. In this case, the defendant published the code (that was retweeted by Sony Sony Accidentally Tweets PS3 Jailbreak Code | News & Opinion | PCMag.com ) and the hardware...

    PlayStation Hacker Must Hand His Hard Drive Over to Sony

    This is only the beginning, and the court in question is not even sure they have jurisdiction over the person they are suing yet. This doesn't even take into account the fact that Google, PayPal, YouTube, and others haven't even begun to fight the subpeonas that Sony wants to serve them with...

    Call from audit team

    The way the Audit Nazis work, I'm pretty sure it's above Charlie's pay grade too. ;)

    DirecTV Website

    Looks like the DirecTV website is off line right now while they are "... making improvements to maximize your online experience." Guess that means the prices are going up.

    That completely makes sense...which is why the NAB would never go for it.

    DIRECTV Completes Six Retransmission Deals

    Looks like the affected stations don't want to lose their advertising revenue from the Super Bowl. The stations are back on the air while they continue to negotiate a retrans deal. From DIRECTV We're Negotiating to Keep Your Local Broadcast Station on DIRECTV

    DIRECTV Completes Six Retransmission Deals

    I live in one of the DMA's being affected by Northwest Broadcasting's channels being removed due to the contract dispute. Tonight, I received an automated call from DirecTV informing us that because of the dispute they have given us the Fox national feed until the dispute is resolved. One more...

    DIRECTV Completes Six Retransmission Deals

    This thread covers the Raycom issue specifically (Raycomm vs DirecTV), but what I find funny is what swanni reported in this post Raycom: DIRECTV Could Lose 40 Local Stations On a side note, our Fox stations (owned by Northwest Broadcasting) are still off the air. I sent an email to my local...

    Need help with WiFi issue

    I had a Netgear N fail last year (wouldn't power up), so I switched to the Vigor 2390N from Dray-Tek (::: DrayTek Corp - Your reliable networking solutions partner :::). I've only had to reboot it once due to a lock up, and after I change a configuration setting but that's it. Most people...

    Finally, an Android tablet worth seriously considering

    I've had mine since Monday, and I'll post a review when I get time later this week. I haven't had much time to do much with it yet because of my dog, but I am impressed with it. Even the two guys in my office that have iPads are impressed with it.

    Finally, an Android tablet worth seriously considering

    Verizon was offering the Galaxy Tab for $599 with a two year contract, $599 with a one year contract, and $599 for month to month contract. I went with the no contract option, obviously. EDIT: Just got my tracking number and it will be here Monday afternoon. Unfortunately, I'll be at the...

    OFFICIAL DISH / FOX ORDEAL DISCUSSION THREAD

    What about making both sides provide the actual agreements when disputes like this get argued in the media and the public? If they want to negotiate in private, then they can keep the contracts private. If they want to start websites, and issue press releases about "unfair" or "excessive"...
