    On Demand Video Quality Issue - Spartacus Vengeance

    I have downloaded some Rentals to the Hopper and so far mixed results. I grabbed the Graham Norton show in SD and it played back no problem. I also had it download (overnight) all the Spartacus episodes that are available On DEmand for free. This was 9 episodes in HD. Every one of them plays...

    Full signal and responsive receiver but no video

    This whole issue has been very irritating recently. The last 3 days in a row i have come home to a receiver that has black screens on all Sat channels, works on OTA and recording playback. It lists all of the timers as having been Completed today however not a single one is actually on the DVR...

    VIP922 - worth the upgrade from VIP722?

    I had initial issues with my 922, such as it locked up when i plugged the EHD from the 622 into it, it crashed when loading media from my network etc.... but when it comes to the satellite part and doing what its designed for primarily its been solid. One time it messed up the DVR listings and...

    no 922 for me

    I called and they are find with giving me the 922, but i have to pay $95 for the tech visit to install it. If I am going to have a tech come out i think i will have them keep my 622 on the account and just use it for the kids in the other room.

    Long Range WiFi Network

    Thats the truth. Don't use 6 whatever you do LOL We have our antennas up a 220ft tower and use Mikrotik equipment on the customer end. They work well when fitted into a good enclosure with built in antenna and have all manner of features, but you're looking at up to $200 an end when you...

    Arizona teacher on leave for taking students to HOOTERS

    I like Hooters for some of the menu items as well as the girls, though in Ohio they dont tend to be as impressive as they are further south :) My Ex wont let me take the boy there at all, even though its a common family restaurant and there are always families in there. She thinks its porn of...

    Do you carry a bazooka on a daily basis ?

    That would be ridiculous. The rifle in the trunk of my car only has a grenade launcher on it and the 12 in my truck have no such add ons! (Of course they are only there overnight, mere temporary traffic LOL)

    Do you carry a pistol on a daily basis?

    You can carry it unloaded in your vehicle but beyond that I believe its a states rights issue, not federal.

    Do you carry a pistol on a daily basis?

    I am licensed in several states that have reciprocity agreements with others. My resident permit is in Ohio, but I have others such as PA, FL, NH etc that give me lots of other states due to agreements they have recognizing each others.

    Do you carry a pistol on a daily basis?

    Guess I can chime in and mention that i have a license to carry in 36 states and nearly always do except in places where its restricted (places permitted to serve liquor currently in this state, government buildings, in laws house etc...). Of course I am a federally licensed firearms...

    Should I get an Iphone?

    Its not uncommon for my business partner to have dropped calls at work and its rare for me to have them. I have a Bold and he has an iPhone, and i have yet to have any long conversation with him without it going weird or dropping. I made it only a couple weeks with the iPhone, thankfully the...

    NAS vs CIFS File servers

    I have yet to see a NAS running linux able to keep up with a windows server, when used in a windows environment. Fact is every file is stored in ext3 and then permissions etc have to be translated by samba on the way in and out. The NAS units don't always have the most powerful CPUs either...

    How do I get my new tv to display 1920x1080 on my computer?

    Most I have seen only do 1080i through he regular VGA connector. Get a DVI-HDMI cable and go from the DVI connector on video card and you should get 1080P.

    Crazy dogs in my back yard.

    While its not something you should do regularly, i have had occasion to get the gun out and get rid of a dog. I have livestock and will do whatever is needed to protect them, including taking out the gun and offing a dog who doesnt want to leave them alone. Normally its possums and racoons...

    W7 warning - Trend Micro AV

    Weird, we pushed Trend out to the Windows 7 systems no problem from the server and they are working fine, no BSOD etc... In fact the only program i have had any problem with is Quickbooks 2009 and that was mainly because i am 64bit (to take advantage of my 8gb ram).

    BBCAHD.....

    This i have to agree with 100%. I am one of 5 kids, big gap between myself an the next 4 down (12 years). I went to a school that actually taught me English with some semblance of literacy. My brothers and sisters though went to the local schools and they are terrible. We communicate via...

    BBCAHD.....

    Having lived here 10 years, when i talk to my brothers and sisters in England its tough for me to follow. If I talk to the extended family in Ireland its impossible. They speak SO fast and with so much slang these days. Writing isn't much better, my siblings use some of the worst grammar...
