none of those devices can decode h265 natively. Right now, a PC is going to be involved to watch them, whether it's playing directly to a tv from an HTPC or regular PC or transcoded into something else that rokus or wdtv live hubs can understand.

it's very awesome. Of course you need more horsepower to decode it, which leaves out our rokus, apple tvs and wdtv lives, but if you've got an htpc with a fairly modern CPU you should be good to go.

h265 is awesome. Typical 720p hour long (42 minutes) tv show runs around 700-1.5GB. I've seen h265 versions down around 100-200MB crazy awesome.

60 miles is quite a distance for anything other than a roof-top yagi type antenna. If you find anything else that does the trick, I'd love to hear about it because I'm in the same boat.

This might sound overly extravagant, but if you have the storage space - get both. Depending on where you live you may not get giant blizzards on a regular basis, but you might get enough that you don't want to have to shovel it every time. You can use the little one for the typical 1-3" and if you have a big storm…

One thing Courier (or any other monospace font) works good for is layout. You can use spaces to line up columns instead of setting tabs or using tables. It's not the "correct" way to do it, but if you have to print it out or use it in a situation where the font won't ever be changed, it's a quick and dirty way to…

she could stock it with books about buggy whips

there's really no reason not to have an SSD in your computer nowadays.

here's a goofy question - can you pay for an amazon gift card with your gift card balance? I have enough saved up to get the camera and a $100 gift card in order to get the $25 off, but I'm not sure if it would work

I tried this stuff and I hated it - it was soooo runny it just made a huge mess. I'm glad you've had better luck with it.

we'll just all have to get used to using & nbsp; I guess. /s

tubeoffline.com is your friend for those (or so I've heard)

that's awesome, satellite has so much latency that it was maddening to listen to the radio play-by-play since the radio would tell you whether a pitch was hit, just before the pitcher throws the pitch.

if you put in the divison sign ÷ instead of the / it gives the answer as the only result. It's ALT + 246 For those who aren't familiar with ALT - codes - Hold down ALT and then hit 246 on the 10-key pad, not the number row across the top. I don't think this is easier, I was just going to suggest it as a joke, but…

This would totally be how they would download youtube videos in a movie. Just imagine the "hacker" furiously typing or using some open-air gesturing as several overlapping or transparent windows full of multi-color text scroll faster and faster. Add some dialogue full of incorrectly used terminology and I think…

very true, I did a quick informal look around and visited, Amazon, Best Buy, Frys, Microcenter, Newegg, and Staples. Best Buy and Newegg were the only ones that had any badges. Best Buy had the Trust E and Newegg had Norton, BBB, Trustware, Inc 500, and Google Trusted Store.

and if you have Win 8.1 installed on top of Win 8, it gives you the install date of the update to 8.1 I guess that makes sense, but for some reason I was expecting the first install

agreed - anything to avoid the redneck rodeo that is Walmart

it's the geniuses who came up with this stupid commenting system. How many different times are they going to make us click on stuff just to see all the comments?
