Episode 25 of DL.TV streamed live in the new 4pm PST (7pm EST) time slot, on Tuesday, January 10th.
Here's the deets:
- You asked for an all-questions show, and we're giving it to ya (plus a little Macworld news.)
- Apple's new MacBook Pro and iMac systems
feature Intel's Core Duo processor. The Intel chips should bring a
much-needed performance boost to the Mac platform--Apple fans rejoyce!
- Also announced at Macworld: the iPod Radio Remote. Listen to FM radio on your iPod, just like the name says.
- Viewer Question: Dan asks "I use
iTunes to download Podcasts, but I want a Bittorrent downloader to save
bandwith for the guys who make the podcasts. Got any 'podcatcher'
reccos?"
- Answer: We'd like to see some podcatchers that use P2P, but for now try Juice or iPodder if you're looking for a capable downloader.
- Viewer Question: Joel asks "I've got a Athlon 64 3500+ (Clawhammer) with a Zalman heatsink and it runs hot (48C at idle, 65C load). How do I get the temps down?"
- Answer: Those temps are normal for
a Clawhammer core, but make sure your thermal compound is evenly spread
on the heatsink. Otherwise, think about getting a newer 90mm core
Athlon--they run a lot cooler.
- Viewer Question: Kyle asks "What
do you guys think of Toshiba's prototype 42" SED (Surface-conduction
Electron-emitter Display)? Is this the display of the future?"
- Answer: SED displays have a couple
of big advantages: they're ultra-thin (less than 1cm), and
have super high contrast ratios (up to 100,000:1), for great black
levels. They'll sell if the price is at all reasonable...
- Viewer Question: Rick asks "I've
got a 42" HD Sony that I connect to my cable box with an S-Video cable.
Will I see an improvement in image quality if I replace it with an HDMI
connector? Is it worth the $40?"
- Answer: Yes, Rick, yes you will.
That old S-Vid connector can't support HDTV signals, which means the
precious 'HD-ness' of your TV is going to waste! Get a HDMI, DVI or
component connector immediately, and sin no more!
- Plenty more of your viewer questions!

It isn't working for me either. I'm not sure if they've really started yet or what. I got the first few seconds of the opening twice which is strange.

Anybody got a clue as to what is going on, it would be nice if robert could load the dl.tv homepage and see how many comments there are on the live link alone!

I'm gonna guess that they trucked all their equipment down to CES and just got back within the last day and are still setting up the equip.
Just a guess though,,,

I think it seems like patrick is late and robert is removing programs from windows and chewing gum. There was also the new ipod fm tuner.

Come on, Robert. You know you want to do it. Bend over and pull those pants down and just moon us.
Or at least do SOMETHING to entertain us while we all wait for Patrick to remember where the studio is and when he's supposed to be there.

Graet the one day I decide to watch it live does'nt work. Just great. LOL at me. I had never watch this live I thought I was the only one with the problem, but I see that everybody has the same problem. I guess I'm going to have to watch the downloadable version as I always have. I will try on thrusday to watch it live.

...I can almost guarentee that the staff of DL.TV is just as frustrated with themselves for not having the show "on air" yet. These guys all have network/cable TV backgrounds, where live shows start on time no matter what problems you are having. These former TechTV guys like Patrick are pros. I suspect there must be a serious equipment problem to keep them this delayed. eFlight's theory sounds plausible to me...
Regardless, I haven't been this excited about a tech program since I first saw The Screen Savers oh so many years ago. Great job guys!

vlc can play back iso image of dvd.
It does the dolby decoding too.
Storage cost per dvd on hard disks would be more than the changer though.

Why does the video freeze on occasion while the audio continues to run fine? I have to hit the stop button and start it again to get the video to recover.
