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!
Gah!
SoCal residents, how is your switch to Time Warner Cable going? I'm looking at the channel listing, and that's not what's on the TV. The channels below 100 are not matching the card, nor what TiVo now thinks it knows.
They yammer on their site about the magic of duplicating channels, so I'm telling TiVo that I don't get the ones below 100, one by one. Then it finds them higher and uses those channel numbers instead.
This is STUPID. And I know I just jacked up my TiVo channel settings by trying to correct it in the guided setup.
We don't have Tivo but our cable connection's new trick is (instead of going out completely from time to time like it used to) going on and off in one second bursts. On the plus side I am watching a lot less TV!
Thanks for the recs, guys. But what about my ATA question. Do I have to buy Ultra ATA only?

I spent an hour reprogramming my channels to display and I still have 3 TNTs. I think that says it all.

Any parallel ATA drive will work. Basically any ATA drive that isn't SATA (serial ATA).
Cool. I now have a working ultrasonic range finder.
Now to assemble the servo-operated pan/tilt mechanism....
Or, I suppose I should go to bed....
I have installed a new 200gb hard drive and a full 1gb of memory. Zippy!
Now to see which of my two older drives is crapping out, and use the other one as my Ubuntu drive, at least until I can get another new drive.
Also, I have performed a fresh XPPro install.
Also I'll need to pull all my old files off the old drive.
You've had a busy evening.
If watching a progress bar can really be counted as "busy."
