Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Trust my rage

I should wait until after the 15th?

Unless you really want it now. A few times they have offered the newer software at a reduced price to people who bought new computers in the last 2 months, say, but don't fall in the shorter window. If you are in no rush, I'd wait for Tom's announcement.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

TiVo's not going out of business yet: [link]

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

I wish it wasn't Comcast, but better that than no TiVo.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I just hope TiVo will still work for non-Comcast subscribers.

If I only had a brain...

Note to self: Don't go underground in Boston.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just hope TiVo will still work for non-Comcast subscribers.

Yeah, Comcast and Time Warner are always beefing here, taking channels of TW's lineup and stuff. I'd be concerned if I had Time Warner Cable and a TiVo. Especially because TWC has their own DVR dealie.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ugh, I hope that won't be an issue. AFAIK, Comcast isn't available in my neighborhood.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Two channels on our TV are without sound and have been for several days. The pictures are fine and all other channels have sound (though the immediately adjacent ones are a bit faint and need the volume turned up compared to other channels).

The TV is under warranty so I could have either a TV repairperson or the cable company come to our house, but if I guess wrong I get charged. If it is the TV and the cable company comes I will get charged. If it is the cable and the TV guy comes I'll get charged. Anyone have thoughts on what is the better guess?

The cable company is comcast. The TV is a Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-20FS100.

Thanks

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Can you borrow another TV to swap in to your set-up to do a quick sound comparison test on those channels?
