I had a ReplayTV for about 8 years when I finally retired it because we "went HD"... with an HD DVR from our cable company. I felt like like I had stepped back in time... What a sucky UI.
Yes, for all of its annoyances (bloated desktop software, DRM issues etc.), I think subscription services like Rhapsody are the way to go, especially for people that like variety in music and want access to a large collection. The selection is excellent, the monthly price is reasonable, and as mentioned you do not need to deal with the issue of managing a huge collection of mp3's.
As for portable receivers.... Roku (www.rokulabs.com) makes products that can pull Rhapsody downloads from a computer (using either the Rhapsody software or WMP as a server) from either a wired or wireless connection. Some units are designed to connect to an audio system (Soundbridge), others function as stand-alone "radios" (SoundBridge Radio).
The only real issue I've had with Rhapsody is the licensing of tracks to mp3 players... It generally works, but sometimes things get screwed and certain tracks will not play. I'd like to give a swift kick to the nuts of whoever came up with the "Plays for Sure" name...
I travel the turnpike every weekday -- Exit 7A to Exit 1. A quick scan of my ezpass account confirms I'm averaging about 80mph along the 60 miles (going just slightly faster than the average...that's where I feel safest).
It's just not like McGreevey to overlook the millions in potential revenue, especially since there won't be many people voting for him again anyway.
Yes, sending cable through ductwork can save a lot of time and drilling, but violates NEC electical code, and is therefore a very bad idea. PVC covered cat5 is not much fun in a fire, and the last place you'd want those fumes is in your ductwork.

Just spent the weekend listening to the new album and trying to figure out the meaning behind the Blackstar video. It suddenly all makes sense.
He will be missed, but it's nice to know he left at the top of his game.
Did you go to school in Texas, perchance?

Well.... a previous poster mentioned something about methane.
So maybe it's alien farts.
I suspect the reason for that is because a lot of the ones bought 20 years ago are still in use today, so they don't have the sales volume.
.. or just fedex them iPods...

That thought has crossed my mind often.

..then you want a replayTV.
While we are in the process of consuming their bandwidth, you may want to attach a large JPG or two that you think they might be interested in seeing.
