We shot Episode 84 live on Wednesday August 9th at 4PM PDT (7PM EDT, 23:00 GMT/UTC) instead of our usual 4PM Tuesday time slot. The show will be available for download Thursday, August 10th.

What's on the show? Viewer questions! Big honking piles of them:

• Extended warranties: good or bad, asks Brett?
• Allister asks "What hardware do I need to connect a Cable TV box to a Media Center PC? What type of interface will I have? "
• Can I get an adapter for my old ATA drives if my new motherboard has SATA ports, asks Jason?
• CRT to LCD... will I notice a difference, especially if I use a DVI connection to my computer? We're on it, Ben.
• dot19408: is looking for help setting up an email server over his home DSL line... we say let an ISP handle that... but email us with your suggestins for whether dot should try to run Sendmail from home.
  
• Rich wants to know the proper way to pronounce Linux. (We've got the word  from Linus thanks to Paul Sladen.
  
• Allister asks "What hardware do I need to connect a Cable TV box to a Media Center PC? What type of interface will I have? " 
• Jason asks "If I get a motherboard that has SATA connections,  can I get adaptors for my old ATA drives?"
• We had a stack of URGE questions to follow up on... Ty adn Jeff were especially curious about what happens to the tunes you download after the 14 day free trial ends!
  
• John from Iowa wants reccos on a long distance WiFi setup... it depends on how far = long distance!
• Converting CDs to Vinyl? Kelly's on a mission! Companies like CustomRecords can make short runs of records for you, but they aren't cheap. 
• Nate's more geek than you... he tried dropping a Core 2 Duo (Merom) procesor into his Core Duo notebook... and gave us the heads up on what happened. Thanks Nate!
• What about live phone calls on DL.TV???
