  1. TV Guide channel is useless in the digital cable on Time Warner Cable Box Rental Inspired Antitrust Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    TV Guide channel is useless in the digital cable days WOW! cable dropped them. Even if you still have them they don't show the full digital cable line up.

  2. On direct TV each box after the 1st is $4.99 a mo on Time Warner Cable Box Rental Inspired Antitrust Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    On direct TV each box after the 1st is $4.99 a mo for any box. Dish and cable make you pay more if the other box is a HD or DVR on top of the box free.

    Comcarp web site makes it very hard to find the true cost for of the box fees with pick the boxes with out a way to tell you want you need to pick for the 2th or more box is it the HD fee + digital outlet fee or the HD fee + the DVR fee Just the digital outlet fee and so on? And they want $10 - $30 per box up front based on what box you pick. And the HD boxes don't even come with free HDMI cables. Also there may be a per box remote fee.

    ATT used to have 4 boxes for free now they want $5 per per each box after the 1st one.

    also on top of that some of them make you get cable guard or you will pay truck roll fee / some have even tried billing you $400+ for a box that is not working after a storm knocked your house down.

  3. How about cable and sat boxes put os + guide data on What Will Linux Be Capable Of, 3 Years Down the Road? · · Score: 1

    2gb to 4gb is small only about 30-60 min of 640x480 video with sound.

    How about cable and sat boxes with the os + guide data in flash. So you don't have the long guide data reload time after the power goes off for a short time.

    Also a 10 - 30 min live buffer on non dvr boxes in flash will be nice and the drv boxes can have more tuners and a HD.

  6. Apple mini is also still over a YEAR OLD AT the sa on Psystar "Definitely Still Shipping" Mac Clones · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Apple mini is also still over a YEAR OLD AT the same PRICE and hardware. $799.00 for a 2.00GHz cpu, 1gb of ram, dvdwr, 120GB hard drive, and gma 950.

For $700 to $1000. uses up to date parts and chip sets unlike the mini.
