    Actually it's Internet Killed the video star http://www.poptix.net/funny/videostar.swf ;-)

    Not really true. MTV killed videos itself about 10 years ago when it decided to stop airing them,... replacing real music content with Beavis and Butt-Head, and crap pop culture reality shows,... The good news is, at least YouTube seems to have somewhat resurrected music videos! ;-)

    Pictures came and broke your heart.
    Oh-a-a-a oh
    And now we meet in an abandoned studio.

    And you remember the jingles used to go.
    Oh-a oh
    You were the first one.
    Oh-a oh
    You were the last one.

    Don't do what I did and buy the cheaper functional equivalent of the PVR 250. I bought the PVR-150 two months ago and there's still no fully functional drivers for linux yet.

    In some apartments (in what I feel is a violation of FCC rules but what the FCC feels isn't) they require that you place large amounts of money down on a "deposit" just to put the dish on the porch (regardless of the fact that it might be free standing).

    I solved that problem =)
