That is a very confusing price change as I live in Jersey and received a letter in the mail saying my stbs would increase $1 from $5.99 to $6.99. Reading what you posted seems to imply its a $2 increase... |

kudos:1 | It seems we'll get a $3 total increase.
I remember the days when we didn't need these boxes and got all of out channels FREE from an antenna |

What's stopping you from doing that now? Granted you would get about 400 less channels, but, OTA is still free. |

But you didn't get the sports channels "back in the day" either, you can get the same broadcast channels for free now what you could get for free then. |

Ditto on the Ceton, I'm just waiting on the Q and echos. With any luck it'll be a whole home TV/Netflix/Bluray solution (even if the last bit takes a little massaging) |

said by Onedollar:Thanks i just checked and see the same thing..... Centon here i come read before you buy, I did , it's still too problematic and the USB box seems worse than the internal card. I went with the Silicon HDhomerun 6 tuner. works great, every computer in the house can records it's own channels in it's harddrive, most computers can record one or 2 streams with no hesitation. you do need a gigabit switch and gigabit cards in your computers. working great here.
all recordings default to C:\Users\Public\Recorded TV
to playback just go there and double click the recording you want.
I love the HD quickTV app to watch tv, all the channels are showing on the right side vertically and disapper when you select a channel, for all heavy things like recording shows or series you use Windows Media Center.
as soon as I get some spending cash will put together a new computer with a few cores like the new Bulldozer chips so I can set ONE box to record up to 6 channels at once and be able to do it smoothly. all my current machines are OLD dells with P4's and they work ok with 2 channels at once, have not tried more than that, no time lately to play with it |
