Hi all, first let me apologize for my lack of knowledge regarding this topic... glad to see so many who have some advice to give in this area and I appreciate any help you can offer. Second I apologize for length of post... don't know how else to ask.
We're currently building a house and regular RG-6 cable was run into the house and into all rooms. We've now decided to hang our Samsung LN-S3241D above fireplace. There is a regular cable outlet there but question was what to do with components (Dish receiver and DVD). Builder suggested running cable from outlet behind TV through ceiling and down side wall to put cabinet there with components. So the question they are asking is... continue with RG-6 or run a different/better cable from that outlet over to wall outlet where components will get connected? I have read a little about different cables (HDMI, S video, etc...), but what I don't know is would it make any difference to pay more and run a different kind of cable now that all the other cable is RG-6?
If they stick with the same RG-6 to the wall outlet, what about connections from the wall to the components? We currently have Dish DVPlus 625 Dual DVR and TV is connected with regular coax cable. Will probably stick with this receiver even though TV is HD (picture is pretty good) but will upgrade to HD when we recover from building costs.... ugh :shocked....
So, if outlets from wall are reg coax, can you use some other type of cable to the receiver and/or DVD for better picture; and can you use a different cable from wall to TV for better picture? And can you upgrade connections later or are you stuck with coax since that's what run in walls?
Thanks for any help, builder/electrician are ready to move on this and I don't know what to tell them.

Oct 16, 2006 Pulse~Link Demonstrates Simultaneous Operation Of 1394 And Ethernet Over Coax At Connected@Home Conference
Demonstration Features CWave™ UWB Chipset on Mini-PCI Card
Carlsbad, CA-October 16, 2006 - Pulse~LINK, Inc., developer of CWave™ UWB solutions for whole-home High Definition multimedia connectivity, will conduct an unprecedented public demonstration of high data rate HD video transmissions using both 1394 (Firewire™/iLink™) and Ethernet simultaneously over the same coaxial cable at the Connected@Home conference this week in San Diego. The demonstration features Pulse~LINK's CWave™ chipset implemented in Mini-PCI card form. The Connected@Home Executive Conference, presented by the Continental Automated Buildings Association (CABA), takes place October 15-17, 2006, at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel & Marina.
Service providers and industry groups see use of existing in-home coaxial cable as a logical backbone for whole-home multimedia and data networks whereby movies, music and data located on any device in the home can be easily accessed and enjoyed from any other location within the home. Coaxial cable is ideal as a digital distribution backbone for multimedia content throughout the home since coax is already deployed in a significant majority of households. CWave's ability to seamlessly merge both Coax and Wireless connections into one hybrid network using the same chipset addresses many shortcomings such as reliable coverage, security, Quality of Service and throughput limitations that wireless technologies alone have been unable to overcome.
From a throughput perspective, the ability to support multiple simultaneous streams of High Definition content with "Trick Play" (for pause, fast forward and fast rewind), as well as interactive menus, can require throughputs of several hundreds of megabits. Pulse~LINK's CWave™ technology has already been independently validated by a leading test house to achieve the highest performance available, with over 400Mbps of application layer throughput available across hundreds of feet of consumer grade RG59 coax, including consumer grade cable splitters, varying cable lengths and un-terminated coax stubs. This is enough to support five simultaneous streams of High Definition content with Trick Play, as well as additional data, throughout the home. The Pulse~LINK demonstration at the Connected@Home conference shows five simultaneous High Definition video streams using 1394 and Ethernet across the coaxial cable.
"This is a major breakthrough for service providers, set-top box manufactures and virtually all CE companies who want HD content moved around the home," states Bruce Watkins, President/COO of Pulse~LINK. "Each of these interface standards have important attributes for the digital home. With our CWave™ products, both 1394 and Ethernet are simultaneously supported by the same chipset across the same physical network."
Such whole-home networks drive the objectives of several hundred companies participating in groups such as the Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), the High-Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA), and others. DLNA prefers an Ethernet-based approach for networking personal content such as home videos and photos, while HANA prefers an approach based on 1394 technology for commercial premium content, and it is likely that both 1394 and Ethernet will be used as networking technologies in the digital home landscape. Pulse~LINK, a member company of both HANA and DLNA, will demonstrate how CWave™ has the ability to support both approaches simultaneously on the same coaxial network backbone using a common chipset, enabling Ethernet and 1394 networks to coexist with one another and with services already being carried across the coaxial cable from MSO, Telco, or SAT service providers.
"Pulse~LINK's solution helps solve the issues surrounding video and data delivery and brings together both worlds," states Bob King, Vice Chairman of HANA. "This demonstration showcases the ability for a common platform to network both personal and commercial content throughout the home."
The CWave™ Mini-PCI card used in the demonstration is the basis of Pulse~LINK's current evaluation kit. CWave™ is the first technology to facilitate room-to-room distribution of multiple streams of HDTV over in-home coaxial cable and wireless networks with guaranteed QoS for broadcast quality video. CWave's Gigabit data rates enable simultaneous streaming of multiple HDTV programs with interactive "Trick-Play" capabilities, high quality multi-channel audio, and high-speed data for unprecedented whole-home connectivity.
"We are extremely excited that Pulse~LINK has chosen to participate in CABA's Connected@Home event," states Ronald J. Zimmer, CABA President & CEO. "CWave™ represents the emergence of a whole new breed of innovative technologies for total whole home connectivity. Their demonstration of CWave™ is a technological leap forward in the distribution of multimedia and data content throughout the home and should be a major influence on the consumer electronics marketplace in coming years."

Season 2 order already in hand:
'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1
I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home thoughI don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.
Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.Stay out of my office. I rarely have shoes or socks on in the office. My office and business is at home though

HERE TO HELP YOU!
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....

I would think that all the packaging would already be accounted for ... they weigh the container, subtract that from the scale, then add the product , so its weighing the Product onlyUnless the specific product or its packaging is known at the time of weighing, estimating the tare weight for a PoS system is a tall order.
I'm pretty sure that produce bags can't get any thinner.
You certainly don't want to put unbagged produce on a belt, scale, or in a clerk's hands (gloved or not).

I've always been super interested in things space related so this is a pretty cool event coming up. Nov 18, 2026 early in the morning, Voyager 1 will reach the distance of one full light day from Earth. Took almost 50 yrs. I was 13 when it launched.
