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!
Google will sell vidio online (competing with iTunes): [link]
Like Apple's offering, Google's features just a couple partners (CBS and the NBA, in this case), further fragmenting the market.

Tivo unveiled their new Series3 unit at CES yesterday. The Series3 is a digital cable ready box, capable of recording two programs simultaneously. It supports cable and antenna input, and it can handle digital or analog cable, digital ATSC, or analog NTSC broadcasts. CableCARD is used for digital cable, and it can utilize a single multi-stream card, or two single-stream cards. The system also sports 2 USB ports, 10/100baseT Ethernet, and an E-SATA port for external storage expansion. Video output is HDMI, component, S-Video, and composite, and audio is optical digital or RCA stereo.
digital ATSC
Awww, yeah.
(Damn you, Tivo, I don't have any money! Damn youuuuuuuuuuu!!!!)
Well, I guess what my next Tivo purchase will be. Here's my choice:
what to do with my tax refund:
a) new couch
b) new bed
c) Tivo
I'd been telling myself that I didn't need an HD TV set until Tivo came out with their HD version. Now...
Of course, DVDs are still stuck in SD, at least until the studios pick a format. Maybe I'll wait until everything can be played in HD.
but don't I need a comfortable place to sleep and/or watch tv?
Not as much, no.
I wonder how long it'll take Weaknees to blow up the storage.

I wonder how necessary that'll be with the E-SATA port?
