Chills. Every time I watch that.

Sandforce controller, interesting. I wonder who makes the flash.

Ahhh now you see if TiVo is smart, they'd put this functionality into every got-dammed box in sight - what I call the "Netflix Maneuver".

Wow, college flashbacks. Molecular Biology of the Cell nearly killed me.

They are, Fios does support and distribute cablecards. You just have to ask (and hope you get a CSR isn't a moron).

Would be great, but what is the recording source in this scenario? It would have to be another TiVo because there are no cross-platform compatible formats in this space (for premium HD content- think HBO) because they're all DRM'd up the wazoo, and nobody's drm plays nice with anyone else's box.

Plus you have AT&T Uverse - widely regarded as the worst HD picture quality of any provider! Now bandwidth caps too! Although my hate for TiVo is unrivaled, because they had so much potential and just blew it over and over again, my hate for Uverse is great for much of the same reasons.

I like the Ceton cards, but I LOVE the new Silicon Dust HD Homerun network tuners (that take cablecards). Makes every Win7 PC in your house into a DVR...

Ahhh the argument that's plagued Tivo's business plan for all eternity. I don't understand it either. It should be named - "The TiVo Paradox"?

Abba-Zabba, you my only friend.

Did Chen ever get his stuff back?

About the pdf menu thing - it's because restaurants spend a lot of money designing their paper menus and then don't want to spend more redesigning it in a digital format - they just scan the paper and make a pdf.

Ultra-detailed explanation if anyone's interested -

Looks like it's cat and mouse time. If MyWi won't try to release a version that stealths itself then someone else will write something that does and I will buy it.

"I shudder to think what would happen if they tried to charge for what you actually used."

I must admit, Sprint is looking like a good alternative these days, especially with LTE on their horizon...

Wait until you get your next bill, I bet they'll start charging for tethering.

I have a sneaking suspicion that Cablevision prioritizes traffic to speedtest.net servers.

Except the passive filter cuts that res in half again, so when you're watching any non-"Full HD 3D" source that uses Side Side/Top Bottom encoding (which cuts the res in half already) each eye is essentially seeing a non-HD resolution frame.

Because it's pretty much meaningless at this point - it's not a true pixel refresh rate, it's just them blinking the backlight faster.
