I have a Tivo also. I don't feel my time is being wasted by ads. The only problem I have is my time being wasted by ads that are not targeted towards me. I'm not saying women don't watch the SciFi channel, but why the heck was there a Tampon commercial on there the other day?:-)
It seems the shows I like on Fox get booted so I decided to just not start watching any new shows on Fox. Andy Richter and that muppet show look pretty good from the prevues, but sure enough, if the show is anygood it will get booted. So why start watching and new shows? I'm not. I also have a 60 hour Tivo so it's not like I can't find anything else to watch.;)
Fox does have goos sports coverage however. So, except for Sports, I'm done with Fox programming.
yes My Precious, you are in his nasty pockets yessss
Re:MP3, WMA, and whatever else I need

Non-MP3 Codecs?
·
· Score: 1
Same here. I'm having a hard time finding a home stereo system that uses MP3 much less another format.
I picked up a portable CD/MP3 player a few months ago for $50 (There are some cheaper ones around I found out later) but the cheapest mp3 home stereo system I found was $500.
I don't think we will see an OGG player anytime soon.
I'll have to agree. My brother, who does not own a computer or PDA, decided on his current mobil phone over two others in his price range because it had SnakeII. --
Who said anything about getting around the service? I don't need the service, I dont have the service, I dont want the service. I do want to make a few manual recordings and pause NFL games.
What does using a Tivo without service, which its quite capable of doing, have to do with hacking smart cards?
Tivo, from a year ago when I bought it. Service was *optional*, Not required or hacking needed or knowing about serial ports or linux or computers. It was sold to me as a box that performs a function.
Please tell us how the average consumer is going to set the clock through the serial port. Does the average consumer know what a serial port is?
Does setting the time through the serial port void the warranty in anyway? If not, I would like to know how to do that.
Making a test call requires the phone line to be plugged into the device. Are there instructions in the manual that state that the phone line should only be in place to make a test call, then removed?
Do you realize that this device and other PVR's are sold as consumer level devices and that most of the people who buy them do not know its actually a computer?
--
Most of the users who are using a Tivo without paying for a subscription realize that its not Tivo's primary concern. The problem is is that Tivo upgraded the software without concent of the users who purchased the devices to use as VCR or whatever.
I don't recall anyone without the service saying that they wanted free service, they just wanted the machines to function like it did when they bought the machine.
I had the service for a few months, but I reliazed I didn't need all the extra features. It was my poragative to cancel the subscription, and I did. I didn't tell Tivo they could make my machine less useful 10 months after I cancled my subscription.
Anyhow, this has been repeated over and over and still people think that users who do not have a subscription are just leaching. When in fact they are or where, using the device as it was sold to them.

I went to read that story and the site redirected me to a page to update my browser to nescape or IE.
Anyone know where I can get netscape for my Dreamcast?/sarcasm...
Anyhow, I hit back, then stop and I was able to read the story on my Dreamcast anyhow. I hate sites that expect you to only have one of two browsers. --

Hmm, a 13-17 yeard old is shown in commercials that smoking is K00l, pre-2000. Those youngsters are now addicted to a narcotic. Damn L4m3r$.
Its not like the new L4m3r$ have installed MS windows or anything. Damn L4m3r$ not knowing anything when they are young! THey should have installed Linux or BSD instead.
Circa Yk2+20...
Lame, sorry old guy he installed Windows when he was young, he is a Lu$er. Quit bitching and fry his ass!......
You did get that Nicotine is an "Addictive Drug" from the commercial? No?
Did you also note that its was also until recently a Frikkin Commercial Drug? Nicotine is an over the counter narcotic promoted commercially! The Ad was trying to show how that industry is abusing
commercialism and you mock it?
PS: The above mention of MS was not intended to discredit MS as a company that sells products that are addictive, but to show that marketing sells things that consumer thinks they need or want, even though those things are not what the seller intended them to be, or the consumer thought they purchased.
The things I heard about the "Matrix like replays" where that they where going to use them sparingly as to not over endulge in the technology.
I recall hearing this last night. Not sure of the broadcast, but I also heard it during the pregame show. I can't quote the actual broadcsts as I just upgraded to KDE 2.01 last night and I spent the better part of this morning trying to figure out why kslideshow.kss wouldn't show my Pr0n until I hex edited the binary to a/tmp dir, why does the programmer hard code a directory? Anyhow, I digress.
Also, as this is a new technology to a *LIVE* broadcast as opposed to a recorded broadcast like the cinema. I thought the shots where used appropriatly.
Does anyone remeber when the "Reverse CAM!" was a big thing? WOW! They will show the same shot but on the other side of the field! Wow! And SloMo was a big hype at one time I believe.
Of couse now we all expect those things, like this new technogy will in the future, when its perfected of course. --
My ISP says my mail got sucked into a blackhole. How can I prove that my mail ever existed? If I where sucked into a blackhole, would I have ever paid my ISP charges?
I do this also. But there are some sites that don't get "user unknown" messages.
There are two sites that have been sending my family email for over a year after I removed the alias. I even resorted to blocking the IP to the mail server, they then move the mail server.
Once your on the NSync (my daughter of course;), mailing list, your on for life. They will hunt you down!
Is there any information out on how to get TV programmming data in to the box for using it as a PTV? Are they going to offer programming data subscribtions like Tivo or will a 3rd party be able to provide data? --

There are a couple of Browsers availabl for the DC.
