Comment on the HP + Voodoo PC buyout please

Show time :))

what is an alternative to windows media player for mac? its not playing well and wont open.

It's not working

it keeps getting later it seems every show.. hmm

@ elliot

You can use WMV on mac, windows allows QuickTime to be the WMV player, go to The new Media player center, then you will have two options choose the second one.

Is the video streaming (the clock)?
I have just installed Ubuntu and I hope I will be able to get the video to work in time.
Anyone under Linux too?

Where's the beef?

the show is not start for another 20 minutes or so. that is why the stream has yet to start.

I am under archlinux and it is not working for me either under vlc player nor mplayer.

Nothing for me too, but the start time is at 4:30 Pacific.

"We're going live at 4:30 so we can have our coverage for the Tokyo Game Show in this episode."

might be why I cannot connect bummer have to wait longer

Nevermind, should've read the time for today. It's a half and hour later.

Number 99! GJ GUYS

So now it'll run past 8pm and interfere with my normal TV viewing :(

Oh and btw: Lenovo has a battery recall too:
http://www.engadget.com/2006/09/28/over-500-000-ibm-lenovo-laptop-batteries-recalled/

Exploding batteries everywhere... ;)

Wow,sounds like a longer show today.

@Keith

WMP11 made toast of my modest sempron
And I could not play back any captured video with it in the system

has anyone got the y2k clock yet or is this wmp 11 beta thing

LINK DOES NOT WORK!!!

still don't see the clock here...

NO!!!!!

I've tried with WMP11 and VLC, no go. Wheres my clock?!

I get nothing. No clock, not yet. I wish they would say when they have the clock up so we have an idea if it's us or them that's having the problem.

can anyone else connect? I can't

I got nuthin' over here!

no live stream

Where is the feed?

Nope,

All I get is invalid link.
They must be running late.

Maybe they could start on time to celebrate episode 100!

looks like no DL.TV for me again. will need to send email to patric and robert

where is the stream?

Where the feed?

hey Patrick,Robert,Roger, Scott Asnault will you please inform us of the preblem

See, this is when I wander off for a cookie, get distracted, and forget the show is on! D'OH!

the tubes are full!

Why Why

somebody please open the faucet and start the stream!

does anyone see anything. can anyone get the feed or is it just me?

so much for 7:30 et.
commit then submit.

Still no feed any one else? 4:36PM

I think Patrick really broke the internet this time.

hey maybe they are trying to get us cutting edge footage (why it was late in the 1st place right?)

I bet Patrick broke something again.

I cant connect either-cannot find server! :(

Hmmmm.... WMP keeps saying "cannot connect to server". ugh

no feed here invalid link

This is starting to become a reoccurring event

Is DL.TV a victim of their own cheap web hosting reccos?

Final cut rendering problem... they are coming on sooni hope... FCP does this to me when on deadlines too... so i switched to vegas

i heard someone talking on the stream for 3 seconds, (no video) around 4:15 their time, and now it's nada... probably something in the studio crashed :( Hopefully we'll get something to Download tomorow

@James:

Yeah, I think we're right,
this definately feels like the
work of a rogue Patrick Norton.

Damn - Patrick and robert - do you know what happens to a guy who does not get his DLTV dose??? HE GOES CRAZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

I'm writing this in the hope that the posts are filtered by someone from the crew.

I was hoping you all could tell me what you all have heard about the RED camera prototype theft. I know the mysterium is safe but will it impact the release schedule? Or anything on if the crooks have been found?

guys look what i found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OiS0o6sgJw
its a dl.tv blooper

That's a no no in the online show world.

Now they Say:

"errr... did we say 4:30? Finalcut is still rending the package... we're never shooting a package on Thursday afternoon for Thursday's show again, we promise. Our apologies on the delay.

We'll have the live link up in a few minutes"

I leave work early just to watch you guys live!!!! aahh its like a thorn in my balllssss that i cant squeeze out

They posted a comment that they are running late rending a package

Has Patrick still got his sledgehammer? Maybe he inadvertently sledgehammered something important?

10 minutes late... its still good! its still good!

Are we there yet ?

I Can't take it anymore

If there's no show and nobody sees the ads do they still get paid?

anyone have any luck yet?

the suspense is starting to get to a few of us!

theres 40 min of my life i will never get back.. sorry to sound like a babby but i am on the east and have to get up at 4:30am so..... thanks

hurry up. i NEED my DL.TV fix.

How do I open the stream in VLC?

Urge...To Kill...Rising...

What's is the deal ? If you are not going do the show then tell us.

I got something on Google earth , it Pat trying to fix the dish Uplink on the roof, Oh no not a hammer

I know this show is like (insert drug reference), but hey give them some time here, they will come through :)

I can't stand this anymore!

wtf it's not on yet :(
I Want My DL.TV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ahren
save it as a file and then open it with vlc.
(actually I'm not sure, first time for me)

I don't know what's worse, the reliability of the stream making it from week to week, or Sony's PS3 Cell Processor yield #'s. It's a race to the finish. Poor. Just Poor planning dl.tv.

were is the feed damn tricaster :)

does anyone know how to link up an opensuse linux box and a windows machine using a d-link router?

good thing i have my vcr set to tape my 8pm show...maybe dl will be ready by then?

Dance monkey, dance!

@robin

What do I save as a file? The url of the stream? Thanks

You guys have a great show. Sorry to see your having problems.

WooHoo its up! New recall, VooDoo PC story.HP bought VooDoo PC

@ahren
save target as and you should get
zdpub_diglifestudio.asf

Alienware=Dell VooDooPC=HP, suckage for both kinds of machines, ALOT.

Go figure. My IE is still not working, the link won't open the video in Windows Media Player.

It works no problem in FireFox though.

Am I doing something wrong, the video seems really dark in VLC, do I need to change some settings?

... but it does not work

no show for me as always

Did you guys notice the IP Address?

Your IP was logged on that edonkey site there (and visible for us to see)

Woot, firt time ever (since day one) that I've been here to see it live :) Love the show guys.

there scare tactics are weak sauce.

Sony is adopting the "scorched earth" policy, I see...

HAHAHAHA
Patrick just said digital life tv.

Hey Pat seen the first take on the Game Show with the cutie, NICE :) worth the wait

Lol, like those legs?

The video of the TGS along with the music that was played, makes it very hard to hear Garnett and Patrick.

music WAY too load in those Japan video...blocked out voiceover..

I just played to demo for NBA07 on xbox360 and it is amazing.. the jersey's and shorts move with players motions. Graphic's are so sick... go try it

load=>loud

Well, everything works as far as live goes, but why did the shows get darker?

i hear ibm are doing a dell/apple style sony laptop battery recall

Men in Black?

Oh yeah

I set up Bluetooth Keyboards and Mice at a couple of my offices. It's spendy $150 for both, but it works great as long as the bluetooth radio works (the Microsoft one that came with it worked great until they were damaged.) But you can walk a good 30 ft away typing without any interruption.

Hey Guys you should do a review on some Wireless keyboards and mice.

I use the Microsoft Wireless notebook mouse. It works great.

Rgds
Mike

I hope Robert didn't forget to show off the wallpaper he mentioned on tuesday.

IBM Clicky keyboards rule

I even have a black one with the track point over 10 yearsa old and still types like new

Nice slip Robert... way to funny

@ Jay
I hope so to but he hasn't yet :(

They ANSWERED MY QUESTION!!!!!

GET PERPENDICULAR

Great show once it got started! Good job guys!

Great show I'm with Robert on the Show Girl cuties

wow, nice show..
I love the lil blooper mackenzie posted
well, Ladies & Gentleman have a great evening and a safe day tomorrow.
Camper, lazin' in the Pacific Northwest

Bluehost for the win..!

http://www.bluehost.com/track/msnexpre/new

Check it out!

well this is exciting.

Thank you for mentioning my email about the free web host http://www.yurx.com in episode 99.

I am really stupid. I could have posted my referral link for yurx.com. If you want free hosting from yurx I would appreciate you using my referral link, thank you!

http://www.Yurx.com/index.php?referrerid=337

Wheres the show then, getting later and later and later.

I love the show... just one question: Why is CrankyGeeks always posted for download way before this show? I would guess that it is the same people doing the rendering and posting... if not, find out what they do to get the show up sooner!

With that being said, it is well worth the wait! Keep up the good work.

Wireless roundup would be great. I use a bluetooth mouse, and the only problem I have run into is that it doesn't work with a KVM switch... very fusterating!

Patrick!!!! Steal Leo's Mac Pro!

It'll cut your render time in half!

I am having withdraws. Please post the show soon.

The links to download Ep99 are up....but I still get 404s. Are the files uploaded and available?

NVM, the links work now....talk about odd timing on my side.

Great show guys; looking forward to watching it :)

Anyone got a link to the dl.tv drinking game Patrick keeps mentioning? My google-fu has failed me...

Hey Willy, you will have to search comments in early epsiodes of the show. don't remember which episode, but it was funny.

Check this out, has nothing to do with the show but it's on the internet ;-) I pissed my self watching this, have fun!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xc-9qQVUGX0

Great show dl.tv, thanx

SFO IS EVIL!!!

Can't capture live via firewire? I've done it before. You could save some time in your work flow by capturing the show live. Rather then waiting till after the show. Then trim it and send it off for rendering. Just use a firewire bridge. Connect it to the output of the deck you are already using for recording the program. Connect the box to a spare PC (OK. finding a spare PC there may be a problem) and capture. I've done live capture on my Pentium M 1.4GHz laptop at church w/o a problem. And I was even capturing it to an external hard drive also on the same firewire bus. Never missed a frame.

Come on, guys. I'm all for pictures of cute girls, but the TGS footage was ridiculous. I would've liked some more shots of the games.

This is the problem with vidcasts, netcasts, whatever... you must keep the feed working or else you lose fans. Loss of viewers means no ads. No ads mean it will go away. IpTV is awesome but not mainstream by any means. I am going to watch TV now.

Girl you know its true

I love those old IBM keyboards. Buckle springs rock!
Here's a link where you can get your own if you miss those old boards

Did anyone else hear the "dog bark" at 21 seconds?

RE: Hosting Reccos
I just wanted to inform anyone interested in Yahoo Hosting to look elsewhere. I chose Yahoo because they offer MovableType blogs (similar to dl.tv software) at no additional charge. However, their support is terrible!

I was unable to get SSI working properly using .shtml files with .htm includes. I had it setup this way on my prior host and all was well. I was tired of messing with the site, so I sent them over the code snippets and asked what I was doing wrong. My response was this, "Yahoo! Web Hosting does not provide assistance for advanced scripts like SSI. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be with us at this point, Please accept my sincere apologies."

What's up with that? Anyway, I eventually found my problem, but I'm wondering why they are so reluctant to provide reasonable support with their plans. Even hosting companies I consider sub par have provided better support.

THE best place for Jim Louderback (and other vintage tech geek hoarders) to get mechanical, buckling spring keyboards would be

http://www.clickykeyboards.com.

Huge stockpile and historical archive and lots of variants of IBM model M goodness.. brand new in original box and fully restored units.

oops.. fixed link

http://www.clickykeyboards.com

A small suggestion, I would like the running time for the mp3 version of the show to be listed on the main page. Since it's not, I have to manually check my MP3 player for the runtime.

That's it. Great show all-around.

One of the best sites i've seen in a long time, helped me a lot with my HTPC i was trying to build, i think i would be great for all the home theather questions too check it out. http://www.hometheaternetwork.com/

Great show guys! Keep up the good work!

Ok, I am very disturbed by the recommendation of 1&1 for website hosting. I've had endless problems with them. I have had countless downtimes, many of which have lasted more than 24 hours. When I tried to contact them about it, they were completely unresponsive. The only redeeming value was that they gave me 3 years of free service, which ends soon. I will not renew, they have not earned my business. I have moved to dreamhost.

hey - another good web server (used by bookmooch.com) is an old AOL open sourced server (http://www.aolserver.com/) - limited support for scripting languages though - TCL and C which will deter most... ;)

I like powweb.com. 7.77 a month and you get 20,000 MB of storage, 5 SQL databases and 400 GB of data transfers per month. Easy update pages without uplading or downloading.

Thanks for telling us in episode 99 who does the best web hosting on the cheap. I always have heard the advice that you should NOT use the same web hosting service to host your domain.

So guys, who does the best domain name (preferably cheap) hosting service?

No new episode 2day?

Yeah, I was wondering what was going on.

I guess they're not doing one today

Hello,

Is there a show 10/03/06 ?

Thanks

Cranky geeks has had thurdays episode posted days in advance. You guys post it after the show is supposed to start leading people to belive that the show is canceled.

was wondering as well, anyone know if 100 is on today? would have thought the site would update at least with a link to the stream.

delaying the hundredth episode? what?

You would have thought that at least show 100 would have been on time.

yay! its here!... sorta...

does anyone know for a fact it's canceled for today?

I Think it is kind of rude not to at least try to tell if show is going to happen or not. Somebody at DLTV should update the website and let us know.

Hi guys where can i find the hosting sites that the crew recogmends?

Re. the webhosting, I use godaddy.com and pay $3-4 per month w/ no long term contract.

How did this NOT get into the show? Most of the ones you mentioned charge double that per month? Am I missing something here?

Great show, love it, keep it up guys. Oh, and try and relax more Robert, you get nervous and too talky. Patrick has that more laid back let it go and let it flow attitude, works much better.
