I ran this for years, till I lost access to nonencrypted TV content.
Really that has been, IMHO, the end of an Open Source DVR. I now have Dish, and i desperately would like to have access to the codebase to add enhancements. Most of which they would actually e OJK with. I am certain the auto comercial skip WOULD NOT be OK with them.
I will mis auto update. Slashdot is the only site, besides Google News, that I keep open that provides tis functionality.
Perhaps it could be made a configurable option?
RE 2, Maybe, Maybe not. Rember that recyleing Aluminum is a VERY high temperature proceess relative to organics. They may just burn up. I doubt that a lot of effort is spent in getting the chips clean
A couple of years agao, I install Openserver on a new box. I purchased the software (agin we were replacing a machine with a license), and installed it.
I don't actually recall needing the license, and the machine still regularly complains about unlicensed software.
Is my memory failing me here?
Yes, I wish ATI would release the information allowing proper Opne Source drivers to be written for their cards. Nice gardware, but pretty useless to me.
MythTV has post processing ad skiping that works fairly well. Doing it on the fly requires a lot of confideence in your mehcanisim, or you risk skiping parts of the program.
And it's a locked in peice of hardware. At least starting with the Series 2 units. They have a PROM checksum that checks all teh critical bits on boot up, and will not allow any mods:-( I think this is a serious abuse of teh GPL, myself!
I have a high level of concern over this issue, also.
I would be happy to pay a reasonable cost (say 50% of the TIVO fee?) for a reliable long term non changing source of listings.
I'm suspicous of this whole "Direct" Zap2It thing. They want to issue you a "certificate", and then require you to fill out a survey. And for all this you get about 3 months of service.
I suspect that their bussiness model will not work any better (if they have one) than so many of the dotcom models.
Someone pleas convince me I'm wrong.

Is Caps Lock Dead?

Mind shareing how you do that?
It sounds really usefuel. I miss my HP keyboards that had the ESC key in a sensible place.
Is it just me, or does anyone else think that they have writen themeselves intot a position where they can't possible get to where they need to get?
This is, after all, a prequel. Which means that we know where they have to wind up, in order to provide the jumping off point for the show it's a prequel for.
But then, I've got the exact same problem with Smallville., so maybe it's just me.
In the past 5 r so years, Wind River has announce grand "startegic aliances" with everyone (with the possible exception of M$) that has ahd there 30 seconds of fame. I even rember back whne they sold a C compiler for various early *NIX machines on teh 70's. I suppose they do OK, but they are certainly not great "geussers of teh future direction" of things!
Many years agoa, Dell bought a SysVR4 license, and relased Dell UNIX. I and I'm certain many others bought Dell machines based upon this, and deployed them They hired some very good people to provide support for thier version of UNIX, it was a pleasure to work with these guys.
Then one day, after I had not contacted tehm for a while, I discoverd that they had all be fired, and Dell was distancing itslef rom UNIX. I was left with an unsuported OS. This predated Linux, so thier really was no other good choice for an OS for these amchines.
I've never bought a Dell product since.
Augusta Ga. Is a nice afternoon drive from where I am.

Boy are you old :-)
Almost as old as me. I will bet a lot of folks on this forum have no idea what you are refering to.
Indeed, I've been using it at work, and at home for about 5 years now. It has saved me more times than I can count!!
But why is this listed under Linux?
