Nice job, but you still have a long way to go before you catch up to stargate-sg1's 200+ episodes. Anyway I'll keep watching as long as you keep "filling the tubes"

Here's a good website on how to set up your linux box with a wireless card. http://nextgen.no-ip.org/~andrew/linux/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapperinfo10-32bit.php

This is for Robert and cancelling CNET on Tivo.
On your Tivo box go to the Tivo Central Menu, go down and select Showcases and TV Guide, select the CNET marker, go to options then select cancel. Once the system is updated, it will remove CNET from it's download list.

Flash player downloads @ 81.2 kB. too chopy to watch. Mpeg4 download speed sucks too, only 79.8 kB. Time remaining 39:00 mins with 85% left togo. This sucks. You need bigger "tubes". :)

I thought I would mention that the Xbox 360 HD-DVD drive has no AV outputs only a USB connection to stream the data to the Xbox. This means that the Xbox deos the decoding and also that you have to use the AV outputs available from the 360. This also means that there will be no HDMI output until Microsoft release an HDMI lead...

Hi Guys! I was wondering if you knew of what the best micro-atx gaming core 2 motherboard might be? I recently bought an Asus PC-V300B SFF case and can't seem to determine a definitive web-based answer.
True, its not a question about HD TV's, Game Consoles, Drives, or Players, but I'm hoping it wasn't too much to ask something about PC Hardware other than video. Thanks Guys!

Hey Guys,
First, Congrats on the 100th show.

It would be nice to see your podcast on TiVo for people who spend a lot of time on their TVs. I transfer all my TiVo recordings to my iPod for place-shift viewing. Having DL.TV on TiVo wouldn't make sense. I understand that the content protection imposed on the CNet podcast is a TiVo restriction, not CNet. So, a similar restriction would probably exist on DL.tv as well. This would render it worthless to me as a solution.

Hey, just wondering. If the image constraint token is enabled on non digital output of HD DVD and downconverted to 540P, would that be comparable to the image I already get when watching HD broadcast television at 1080i? My TV won't display a 1080p resolution anyway. Thanks.
