Thats odd, here in phoenix cox has all local hd channels are in the clear. The cool thing about this new tivo is it appears to allow simultaneous cable and antenna connections.
Cox charges $20 for a HD Dvr and $15 for a SD. Go with a lifetime sub and its cheaper in the long run and doesn't require digital cable so you might be able to save more if you don't want the extra channels.
Cable card will never work on Directv or Dish, even if they created a cable card compatible with their encryption system the cable card compatible devices don't have the hardware to tune satellite. They are also transitioning to mpeg4 while cable card only requires mpeg2.
Cox charges $20 and $10 for digital cable. With this tivo you could record basic SD and local HD and save $30 a month. So it could be a lot cheaper in the long run. The tivo fee is $13 for one box, $7 for the second or one time $300.
Its late but I don't think its too late yet. The multistream cable card wasn't ready last year, I think they will make up for it if they release the box bug free something cable and sat can't say about their hd boxes.
Both sat and cable charge way too much for the boxes they offer, I think tivo could make a come back with this box depending on how much they charge for it.
I got the 60GB tivo for free, just paid the lifetime fee. I'm using a computer to record HD but its too complicated for others too use. If this new model has a reasonable price I will probably buy it.
I thought obscure negative numbered error codes was more of an Apple thing. Sure linux apps might output cryptic errors but its not much different than looking up Apple's cryptic number errors with their cryptic definitions.
They are only forcing digital broadcasts for over the air. The reason is to use spectrum more efficiently. HDTV is optional for over the air broadcasters most of the smaller stations transmit only SD on their digital station. Cable and satellite have no obligations as far as HD. They are even allowed to down rez a local stations HD signal to SD. The market is driving HD otherwise no one would be doing it.
TV makers are starting to be required to include digital tuners so that they can receive over the air signals (and most also support digital cable) but they have no obligation to make the set HD.
Yesterday Good Morning America started broadcasting HD, ABC has said they hope offering an HD signal will give them an edge over the today show.
When Qwest took over they had a real dick of a ceo named Nacho or something, the new guys seems better. He is the one that started offering naked dsl while most of the other phone companies won't.
Don't need to, there is an existing standard for allowing digital vcrs to connect a cable box. Apple already has software to do this called virtual dvhs but its more a concept program than a finished product and it doesn't support encrypted content.
Perhaps HBO should consider, instead of interdiction, simply giving the first few episodes away to induce subscription, that is, of course and ironically, if the show isn't too cheesy.
They did, a lot of systems had a HBO free preview the weekend Rome premiered. Showtime did the same thing when Fat Actress came out, they called it a Fat weekend since the free preview lasted Thursday to Sunday.

Also, I've used the Samsung SIR-T451 and it does a bad job cropping the 16:9 signal to 4:3, it crops more than needed so everything looks streched. Its fine when used on a 16:9 set. The Radioshack model does a very good job cropping. Almost all stations send a 16:9 signal and then use black bars on the side when showing 4:3 so you need a box that crops well.

BBC has a $200 a year tax on every tv, and the recent "scandals" at the CPB were by a republican.
Unless they mug you I don't see how it helps them much to have your PIN
Does it work with CDMA or GSM?
Interesting, that game must have had a fan at Apple
I know that from network assistant and At Ease, was it also something else?

They announced it in 2005 for mid 2006 so they aren't late yet.

Thats why it probably will never go into Canada unless they force it, cable card is not as profitable.

Here is one, it doesn't say how much the US is getting but does say total output is down from 2003 pre-war levels.

You should have seen Dave Letterman when he demoed super widescreen. It was so wide that he had to turn his head sideways to fit in the picture.
Some people are anal about seeing movies in their original aspect ratio.

I still enjoy super mario world every once in a while, I don't think they have done anything like it since.

they don't need to wait,they just need to support firewire cableboxes
ABC uses 1280x720P. The most a digital ota station can do is 8GB per hour. Many stations multicast so the recording usually ends up around 6GB.
