Re: WTF?
who said that? i was trying to illustrate the irony of how technology here has come full circle-merging the computer and the tv again just like in the commodore 64 days. |

If you have limited income, why would you even be concerned with something that is a "want" anyways? Products like these are for people willing to spend out of their excess to have them.
Just because you can't find a need for it within your bubble of a world doesn't mean the technology is junk. Goodness, some people!

I have tried backspace, it suffers from the same problems all of these do. To do real-time streaming, you have to lose something in the quality and performance. The bandwith is just not there to make it work.
And don't even get me started on MCE. Hint to Microsoft, move on or make a good set-top box for MCE. We all know their failures with ultimateTV, didn't even make a year before it died.. |

Some of us are disabled, how limited of an income are we talking here?
TIVO? Better than TIVO! I can watch recorded shows or type posts on messageboards or play DOOM 3 or... all on the same machine. Save your money like I did, you could buy one too!
TV over broadband is great! Check out Backspace, you might just like it.

well, for those of us with limited incomes and lives/jobs to attend to, i still don't see the need here, but that's just MHO.
TIVO, anyone? |
