PANASONIC UNVEILS SIX ADVANCED DIGA? DVD RECORDERS FOR THE NEW DIGITAL LIFESTYLE
Better performance, increased user-friendliness mark 2006 models
DENVER, CO. (September 13, 2006) — Building upon its leadership position in the DVD recording marketplace, Panasonic recently introduced its 2006 product line - six new DIGA? DVD, DVD/hard drive, and DVD/VCR combo recorders featuring over a dozen performance and usability enhancements.
"With this new generation of DVD recorders, we've taken an already great product line and made it even better," said Alberto Reggiani, Panasonic national marketing manager. "As an innovator in this product category, we're committed to providing consumers with cutting-edge, easy-to-use products that add value to their everyday lives. One of our main goals was to provide ease-of-use solutions for the consumer and we've accomplished that with, among other features, the HDMI digital connection, which we call the EZ-Sync™ HDAVI Control, for one-touch start-up and multi-format recording and playback."
HDMI and Panasonic's new EZ-Sync function are integral parts of Panasonic's solution-focused approach. The EZ-Sync HDMI digital connection allows consumers to connect multiple components, such as the award-winning Panasonic plasma television and Panasonic home theater receiver, permitting the user to move away from multiple wires and remotes and control their components with a single operation.
Instead of multiple cables, the 2006 model EZ-Sync HDMI Recorders use a single HDMI cable to transmit both audio and video. When using the HDMI connection to link one of the new 2006 DIGA recorders to a 2006 Panasonic Viera television, ease of use increases exponentially. For example, the new EZ-Sync function enables the user to view a DVD movie by pressing a single button on the remote. Instead of using separate remotes to turn on and adjust the television, DVD recorder and receiver, pressing a single "play" button on the remote, simultaneously turns on the components and also selects the correct input.
High picture quality remains a top priority for the 2006 line of recorders. A key enhancement for the 2006 line is the new HD Resolution Up-Conversion. When connected to an HDMI compatible display, the images are up-converted to 720p or 1080i quality. The result is beautiful, high-resolution images that are perfect for displaying on today's large-screen HD flat panel displays.
Two key additions now standard on all of the new models is DV input, making it easier for the user to directly connect a digital camcorder, and new super multi-drive recording and playback, which enables recording and playback of all current DVD formats including DVD-RAM, DVD-R, +R, DVD-RW +RW for enhanced compatibility with personal computers and DVD players. As with previous models, the new recorders also play back DVD-Audio, DVD-Video, video CD, audio CD (CD-DA), and CD-R/RW1 MP32/JPEG formatted discs.
The models also feature a new "easy" operation that allows consumers to transfer content from a DVC camcorder or SD Memory Card in one easy step. Past recorders required up to six steps to dub video content from a DV tape. Once the DV camcorder is connected, a menu automatically appears and the user is prompted to hit "enter" to start the dubbing process. Similarly, with SD playback, after an SD Memory Card is placed in the SD slot of this year's SD-enabled recorders, a menu is displayed with a prompt to hit "enter" to start playback or transfer digital images saved to the card.
Other enhanced functions include:
• New Auto DVD-R Finalizing*: When "eject" is pressed, an on-screen query asks if the user would like to finalize the disk, a process required for the DVD disc to be playable in other DVD players.
• New "task-oriented" Graphic User Interface (GUI): An iconic menu for "Playback," "Schedule," "Delete," "Copy," and "Other Functions" that makes it easy to select and complete the desired function.
• The built-in SD Memory Card slot3 and SD viewer for JPEG images also allow fast, easy media networking and file sharing between the DVD recorder and many personal computers, digital cameras and camcorders, and other SD-enabled A/V devices, such as Panasonic's line of fully integrated VIERA plasma displays.

Cutting Edge
Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

AT&T basically went downhill as even for Internet, they were slow in offering services as AT&T WorldNet did not exist until 1994.
In 1994, the commercialization of the Internet accelerated rapidly, forcing major telecommunications giants like AT&T to compete directly with pioneering network operators like BBN (Bolt Beranek and Newman).
AT&T's Early Moves. In October 1994, AT&T launched its first public World Wide Web presence (www.att.com). However, AT&T initially lagged behind rivals in offering direct, commercial Internet backbone and access services, leading it to look for external partnerships to catch up quickly.
Having built and operated the original ARPANET, BBN formed its commercial Internet service provider (ISP) division, BBN Planet, in 1994. By the end of that year, BBN acquired regional networks like SURAnet, making it the largest provider of corporate and institutional Internet access in the United States.
Long-distance rival MCI moved faster than AT&T into commercial Internet infrastructure. Alongside Sprint, IBM, and UUNet, MCI operated one of the primary commercial Internet backbones as the government-funded NSFNET prepared for decommissioning in 1995.
Because AT&T needed immediate enterprise-grade Internet capabilities to counter MCI and Sprint, AT&T forged a major alliance with BBN Planet in mid-1995.
According to The New York Times, AT&T guaranteed BBN Planet at least $120 million in revenue over three years to supply Internet access and security services to AT&T's corporate clients, while also purchasing a minority stake in the company.
While the BBN partnership gave AT&T an immediate foothold in corporate Internet services, AT&T soon built out its own massive consumer and enterprise infrastructure, launching dial-up service AT&T WorldNet in 1996. So basically AT&T would use BBNPlanet's backbone and BBNPlanet would then use MCI's backbone for anything they didn't handle directly.
Meanwhile, GTE acquired BBN in 1997, eventually merging it into what became Verizon's network assets.

Only thing was I thought AT&T split into 13 Regional Bell Operating Companies and not 7 like it says.

Grabbed a burrito on the run. Beef, pinto beans, green chile and cheese. Stewart's cream soda.
Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?
