All I can think of is that a PC with a capture card could be used to re-capture if you played it from the tivo
Indeed I use my PC straight from my Digital TV box to do just that. I dare say the tivo files are a pretty standard format. Maybe you could stick the tivo HD in a PC?
But there's the loophole again. Play it back through a PC with a capture card and goodbye limited life time.
This is the problem with limited life DVDs, it makes it no more difficult for some (evil - RIAA rep) person to rip it and copy it. That only takes 40mins or so and one read pass.
Don't you watch the news? Computers are EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL.
Besides, they don't want more people watching the shows, they want more people watching the commercials.
It's an important distinction. I certinally cut out the ads when I TV cap and even if I didn't you can bet my mate would whack "Forward 30secs" until they finished.
Incidentally as I'm sure the parent poster knows, this is exactly how PGP works.
You have someone's public key, so you can decrypt their stuff, but you don't have the private key so you can't encrypt stuff to make it seem like they wrote it.
Which the two "home" brand solutions do stop you needing wires all through the building, it's worth noting that you do have to have another wire going to a power socket or a local phone socket.
There's only phone sockets downstairs at my place, so HomePNA might as well be a slow CAT5. HomePlug would be more useful but how well does that work when plugged into a couple of extension cables and a 10-way multiplug? Would this affect speed or stop it entirely?
Incidentally in my case it is just for internet connection sharing so I use as cheap an 802.11 as worked.
In addition you can't compare Quake to DN3D. The build engine didn't support multiple floors anymore than the doom one did. They had to cheat but didn't have half the level design freedom. In addition it was pug fugly.
Indeed. I can't get satelitte or cable. I happily paid for Digi and was sad to see it go. While Freeview is as good as we had a right to expect it's not the same.
Having said that, a £375 million outlay on football, however impossibly stupid was nothing compared to their £1.3billion debt.
They can't go back on this now for Digital Terrestrial. The government want to turn off Analogue in 2010 and to do that, there has to be a free service that's worth people switching.
To lose the 1.3-1.5 million people with these current boxes would be an unimaginably huge setback.

Indeed. If you copy from a subscription service like DirectTV say you're doomed simply because technically the subscription fee is protection.

It could indeed be done

You wait till next week when it gets posted again.

True, and assuming you define it in the "speed" sense rather than "transistors" I don't see Moore's dying just yet.
I'm wondering though, I think spam obeys moore's law. I'm definetly getting double 18months ago.
I lost track after whoever it was crossed the 1 gig limit, my k6-2 at 500 is more than enough...).
:)P
It was AMD. Bet you feel fulfilled now
The number of people incorrectly predicting its demise will double every 18 months.
How do you connect the phone reciever end to the PC?
Or am i entirely up the wrong tree as to how this works?

Name the #3 cola. Anybody?
:)
Well in the UK it's Virgin Cola
Sorry, just had to answer
Surely "web logs you" is better?
Indeed, I have a 2100 (DX50 (and a true DX50 at that)) with 16MB and that was my word processor until a year ago.
Oh yeah, I agree, the BUILD engine was a lot of fun, and did what it did well.
But interms of what you could actually do with it as a designer, it was closer to Doom than Quake.
Quake would run on a 486.
In addition you can't compare Quake to DN3D. The build engine didn't support multiple floors anymore than the doom one did. They had to cheat but didn't have half the level design freedom. In addition it was pug fugly.
This would do 0.97mach rather than the 0.87 or so the super jumbos would.
It's not a huge difference, but you tell me that next time you're 12hours through a 13hour flight and the mach0.97 guy has landed.
Bush told me to try it again.
That Bush has initiated all of this just so he can find somewhere to download "the two towers"
That Bush is doing all this just so he can find the best places to download "The Two Towers"?
Is 1997 Quake 2?
i.e - half way between Doom and Doom 3.
Interesting.
Indeed so have I for nearly a year now. It's actually a small company so I've met most of em by now :)
:p
hi stu, dave etc
are the hard-core simulations, like Gran Tourismo
LOL, GT a hard-core sim? Try something like Grand Prix Legends or even the DC version of F355.

No card. No Contract. No nothing.
