    So who all went out and bought Star Wars toys today?

    Went to a midnight madness @ ToysRus on friday with my wife. Found the 5 sith figures I wanted in the mob frenzy thanks to my wife's help. But it was so much fun. We took a camera and took pictures. My wife brought me back to reality though when we stopped at a bar for a beer to celebrate our...

    Opinions on Voice over IP Services

    I use Wide Open West Cable. I chose the 500 because I needed a lower rate (new baby) and to be honest we don't realy download a whole lot. The reason I mentioned the upload is that sometimes if I am sharing a lot of files I will sound like a robot to who is on the other end, due to the limited...

    Opinions on Voice over IP Services

    I have had Vonage since last July. The main problem that we ran into was the long time it took for our number to port over from the phone company. The WAF was contingent on keeping the number. From July to Nov I was paying two bills (LL & VOIP) However Vonage credited me for most of the time due...

    Survivor Palau: Season 10

    That first private camera moment with James was great. I too busted a gut with the Jeff is a Sombitch comment. I know everyone thinks it when he comes up all smarmy in something nice as the castways now realize they are screwed. Nice to see someone actually say it. The best is when he nearly...

    The Survivor Palau HTF Challenge

    I have learned that it does not matter how much research you do Roger. This show has too many odd ball things happen such as alliance and team changes that you just can't tell by reading someones bio. Everyone seems fun and athletic basicly a bunch of Colbys from season two. He seems to be the...

    DVD Recorder Newb

    I just ordered the 420 as well. Seemed like a really good deal and I was feeling like Tim that they might sell out by the time I decided if we could afford it or not and then I am looking at Tivo or $300 to $500 models again. We just got rid of a DVR through our cable company cause we are...

    Burner/PVR with ATSC tuner?

    You are probably right Stephan. I was just really hoping there might be plans for one. At least recording HD to the HDD and then SD to the burner might be more realistic. Oh well a man can dream.

    Burner/PVR with ATSC tuner?

    I was wondering if any one knows of any models out now or comming soon, that can be used as an ATSC tuner. I don't need the PVR to record HD, SD recording would be fine. Basicly a PVR/burner with an ATSC tuner for HD/DTV reception. We are getting rid of a DVR with HD from our cable company...
