Comments:
<0> Cody`, negative.
<0> I'm on the Explorer8000 yahoo group.
<1> peerce: Totally. I feel all dirty when I want to download a ****ing ep of "Lost" that I forgot to record.
<0> And it gets discussed occasionally ... but that's it.
<2> Hawkeye will it say 2.0?
<3> It should def say something about 2.0
<2> mine is Intel 82801BA
<2> hmm
<2> wonder if that dazzle thing will work ok if i'm not at 2.0
<0> Yeah, there should be something about USB2 enhanced host.
<0> Tho, I don't know for certain if it will show up unless there's a USB2 device hooked up.
<1> hahahaha.... rad. So Jenni is downstairs painting
<1> and listing to CD's taht are stored on my NAS (Buffalo terastation)
<1> so I disconnect her
<1> a second later, the music stops
<1> hahaha
<1> then I hear this "what the ****?"
<4> man
<4> tehse forensics shows
<4> I hear about new jobs every day
<4> "Forensic Ghynocologist"
<4> (Sp)
<2> would think my intellimouse is 2.0
<1> FKnight: Yeah, "open up and say ahhhhhh"
<5> they should do a show only about the guys who have to clean up the room after the coroner is done
<5> they can call it "Moppers: Miami"
<5> with slow mo cutaway scenes of them straining the mop water, etc.
<6> hahaha dumb*** http://apnews.excite.com/article/20060301/D8G32EEG1.html
<0> Okay, I like seriously need some more hard drive space.
<0> Also need a new video card.
<0> More memory.
<2> hmm
<0> This MX440 I got from z0g is 'nice' ... but most new stuff looks like **** on it.
<2> Hawkeye not sure... but there is a MB update from the manufacturer for USB 2.0 support
<2> simple load
<1> Hawkeye: Why are two different OS's used for that 8300?
<1> does SA not make their own so it's up to the cable co's to buy one or the other?
<6> DETROIT (AP) - A 12-year-old visitor to the Detroit Institute of Arts stuck a wad of gum to a $1.5 million painting, leaving a stain the size of a quarter, officials say.
<0> Cody`, it has to do with equipment the cable company uses at their head ends.
<0> But SARA is from SA.
<1> Hawkeye: Buffalo 1TB dead. It's rad
<1> deal, rather.
<0> Cody, the way my budget is right now ... nothing's rad.
<1> Hawkeye: So why would a cable co stick on that 'p***port' stuff?
<1> Hawkeye: It's still rad, even if you can't afford it :D
<1> there are lots of 'rad' things I can't afford.
<0> P***port is actually the better OS.
<0> Based on all my reading.
<1> What do you do all this reading for?
<1> I mean, I'm doing it now because I'm trying to find a way to copy movies off
<1> but it sounds like you read it often for some other reason
<0> That thirst for knowledge type thing.
<0> Well, I read the yahoo group when new mails come in.
<1> hehe, the pros/cons of various OS's made for a cable box? ;)
<0> Learning tips and tricks.
<0> Like how to use 2 boxes on the same TV.
<0> Its a simple thing ... so simple I never thought of it.
<0> 1 is powered on and 1 is powered off.
<0> Thus only 1 is responding to the remote.
<0> When time to switch, press power and they reverse.
<1> why would you have two boxes?
<0> I started with 2 because of when I was upgrading to the 8300 ... my friend with the cable company had them bring me the 8300 no deposit
<1> (ps: re: the OS, I see a lot of this... you already brought it up... ):
<1> Does anyone know if this feature has been enabled for Time Warner NYC customers?
<1> From what I've read, no because Time Warner uses P***port software, not SARA. Check out the Time Warner thread from the 8300HD.
<0> So I could add all my series recordings on the new box
<0> And watch what I still had recorded on the old box.
<1> Hawkeye: Yeah, they're sending me a 8300 and a box to send my 8000 back
<7> NOOOOOOObody expects the Spanish Inquisition!
<0> Then I found I like occasionally being able to record 3 things.
<0> I kind of have the 8000SD doing syndication stuff ... like CSI on Spike ... and M*A*S*H
<0> And all my food network shows.
<0> And the 8300HD does all my prime time network shows on the HD feeds.
<1> ah
<1> the hacker community is slacking. Can't believe there is no way to pull shows off
<0> Not my forte, so I never bothered looking into it.
<0> Cody`, part of the problem is ... the hacker community is to er33t to use simple hardware from their cable company.
<1> well, I'm going to just get a DVD recorded and do it that way
<1> once on DVD, I'm sure I can do whatever I want with it.
<0> Cody`, you mentioned missing recording something.
<0> How come you're not using the series manager?
<8> get and rip dish sat HD feeds off a pci sat card instead?
<6> the tivo series 3 with 2 cablecard slots will let you pull shows off
<6> or any current tivo
<1> Hawkeye: Sometimes it doesn't work... Not often.
<0> Freaky
<0> I've never had it fail here.
<1> or sometimes I just forget to record a show
<0> I have everything set to record first runs, and keep until manually deleted.
<1> anyway, getting it online is simple, then I just paly it on my TV via my laptop so its fine
<9> hahaha, i got an "invitation" to a free dinner and 90 minute presentation on how to make money on the internet at the Hotel Fort Grury... which is swell, except the name of the hotel is Fort GARRY
<9> so you're going to teach me how to make money on the Internet, but you can't even spell the name of the hotel right
<1> Hawkeye: Yeah, but sometimes shows will not start at the time the box thinks they will, or something goofy like that. There are lots of little things that might f up a recording
<1> There was a show that did that every time.
<1> it really started at like 9:05 and ended at 10:05, but the DVR would record from 9-10 because that's what the menu said
<0> I never have that problem here.
<0> Then again, BrightHouse is like one of the best cable companies in the nation it seems.
<1> Hawkeye: Any way to record HD content to a DVD?
<0> Dunno.
<0> Since I don't actually ahve an HDTV, I haven't really looked into it.
<1> I realize that I won't get as much time on the DVD, but if a DVD recorder could slap a HD WMA file to the DVD that would be rad
<0> The only reason I initially got the 8300HD is because of the larger HDD
<0> Then I found out it could down step the signal to S-Video.
<1> because then I could play back the HD file via my laptop to TV or via my xbox
<0> I wish I could find out what the stated backchannel speed is for my RR now.
<10> you'd either have to downsample it to NTSC, or it wuoldn't be a video DVD, instead it would be a DVD-R w/ HD AVI files or something.
<0> They just upgraded the whole network from 5m to 7m here in Orlando.
<1> peerce: Yeah, that's what I want. A DVD with an HD AVI file.
<1> I understand i can't record an HD show to DVD and have it be HD res *AND* play in a normal DVD player
<1> but I'd like a DVD recorder to be able to record an HD show as an HD file to my DVD
<1> seems reasonable :D
<10> I'd guess that you'd have to decode and rencode as the HD-sat stuff is probably a different encoding/wrapper/container stream format than HDTV broadcast and botha re different than either AVI, WMV, or regular MPEG2 stuff.
<1> hm
<1> well, when you say "you'd", that's what I want the DVD recorder to do
<10> I gather most HDTV is based on a mpeg4 format, but the MPEG4 spec is incredibly vague on specifics, and subject to quite a lot of interpretation
<1> I have an HD show on my DVR, I hit "play" on my DVR, and "record" on my DVD burner
<1> maybe there would be a setting for HD content to make it low def for playback in regular DVD players, or to record as an HD file for computer playback.
<10> of course, the media content people are dead set against you having that capability, unless its someone controlled and managed by some sort of DRM
<10> er, somehow controlled etc.
<10> otherwise whatever is on HBO-HD is gonna show up at the fleamarkets on DVD the following saturday
<1> you can record shows now to DVD via those DVD burners
<10> via analog NTSC ?
<10> don't the cable boxes have macrovision output on the premium/PPV channels ?
<1> via I don't know.
<1> I just ***umed I'd go cable box -> DVD recorder -> TV
<1> when something was on that I wanted to record to DVD, I'd hit "record".
<1> but, like always, I could be missing something.
<10> I *thought* the satellite recievers and cable boxes had macrovision on premium content (hbo, showtime) and PPV, so analog recorders (VHS, etc) choke and scramble
<11> nothin nicer than a brand new keyboard
<10> also those DVD recorders set the DRM bits on the disks they write so they can't be further copied without hacking the copyprotection (which, yeah, is about as hard as hacking the 'copyrighted' bit on a CD)
<12> wtf?
<9> YUCK
<11> yea, i don't dare
<9> someone needs to invent a laptop that tilts the keyboard up when you open it
<9> or not tilt, but like, elevates each row of keys
<9> like a regular keyboard
<9> I wonder how hard something like that would be to engineer
<9> it'd have to be linked to the display hinge
<12> why not just have legs on the bottom ?
<12> like regular keyboards do?
<9> so the keyboard goes down when you close the lid
<9> I'm thinking like IBM's widening keyboard way back when
<12> fawk, I got diconnected 6 miutes ago and my ghost is STILL online
<10> phew, 8 minutes
<0> Well crap. Just remembered that my Drive0 is a dynamic disk ... with 2 partitions on it ... kind of hard to remove the now empty one and make it all 1 single partition.
<0> Tho ... I can use Drive Mangler's extend partition ability I guess.
<13> so is it just me or is AOL IM down?
<14> is it just me or did i see a complete ****tard join, ask a stupid question, and leave?
<0> ****. Partion converted to dynamic by previous version of windows ... cannot be extended.
