I honestly understood very little of what you said, I know next to nothing about these things. I'll read teh Tivo Community thread shortly though, but a quick rundown of my setup:
Dual LNB Dish --> 2x4 multiswitch on first floor
2 coax lines to Directivo in family room a coax line to directv receiver on first floor a coax line to basement (standard RCA receiver)
The one coax drop to the basement was here when I bought the house and I have no idea how it gets there. Goes under carpet somewhere and comes out of the ceiling in one of my basement's corners. I doubt that I'd be able to retrace the cable and run a second one, given my fear of screwing up the carpet and ignorance in these matters...
I was hoping you could use a $25 2x4 multiswitch for one coax line and go 1x2. If I could do that, take the one coax line in the basement and run two coax cables to the new directivo...
Anyway, thanks for the help and I'll do some research...
Of course the Best Buy store finder to check stock is down...
That price makes replacing every regular directv receiver with a DSR7000 a no brainer. Since I have some high-end directv package, I don't pay monthly tivo fees anyway...
My basement only has one input though, that kind of stinks. Do they make a 1x2 multiswitch or can I use a 2x4 to do 1x2?
" Best Buy is currently selling the Philips DSR7000 unit for 93 dollars"
Is this price for new subscribers only? Bought my DSR7000 at BB about a month ago and it cost me $250 as an existing subscriber. If this price is real, it's time to get one in the basement...
This is untrue... I use software RAID and Redhat and as long as your setup the second drive in GRUB, you can boot off software RAID if a drive fails...
In mozilla, you can middle-click on the tab to close it, regardless of focus. I actually prefer this to Galeon's separate close button. Though in Mozilla I much prefer the way it dynamically resizes tabs when they get to the end of the screen. Anyone know if this can be done in Galeon?
One of my customers did actually blow up a CD in their drive, I replaced it yesterday. It was a 52x LG (I think) CD-ROM, the CD in there was in about 100 pieces. Don't know if the disc in there was a CD or CDR, but I'm guessing the former...
I have been looking to get a Tivo receiver with built-in direcTV, yet cannot find a box anywhere under $400. They have stopped production awhile back to focus on the series2 (which plan to come out in the fall). Only places I have found on-line only sell direcTivos for new DirecTV subscribers. Anyone know where I can pick one up?
By "integrated chipset" (poor term, my fault), I meant a motherboard/chipset that includes onboard video, sound, and possibly networking. The KT133 is definitely a great chipset, but it does not typically include onboard video or netorking (some have sound, I believe)..
VIA is making a solution to that now (as well as SIS) for the Durons, but they are still in their infancy and didn't garner the greatest of reviews...
The biggest reason I feel the Celeron still outsells the Duron is due to a superior integrated chipset, namely the 810. We build PCs for a good deal of our small business customers and a simple, reliable, and low-cost solution vastly outweighs Q3 performance (or standard 2D performance for that matter) & overclockability.
We typically use a Celeron & Intel's 810 motherboard for our low-end businesss PC's. The Intel board has integrated video, Intel 10/100 NIC, Norton Anti-Virus, and Creative sound. Not only do we get a motherboard with quality components, but we greatly reduce the overall cost of our machine and simplify construction/inventory due to the lack of physical boards that need to be installed.
Now that the Duron is finally making inroads with an integrated chipset, perhaps it will be an option for us. But for now, due to the lack of a quality integrated chipset for the Duron, we will remain using Celerons for all our low-end PCs.

Any chance we'll start seeing 640x480 (or 480x640) resolutions on these devices anytime soon?

The article mentions AT&T being their biggest investor, but I was wondering if this affects AT&T@Home customers as well (namely me)...
