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!
I have found that Hulu + CBS.com is better for me than a DVR anyway. I suppose I could possibly drop Hulu if I had it, but it would take many years of Hulu to pay for this (and the hard drive) and I watch some Hulu things that aren't OTA anyway.
I was shopping like mad for something like that about 2 years ago and it wasn't available. Almost built a MythTV to do it, but got price-point burn. Now that it is available, I no longer want it. I've adjusted to the streaming options exclusively and see no need to go back.
I'm pretty much addicted to Hulu+ at this point, although I don't love the updates to the queue layout.
Nothing I've ever watched via a streaming service has matched the image quality of broadcast TV, so I prefer a DVR.
Yeah, my standards for image quality are basically "Can I see it?" so really the Smart TV is like gravy on top of gravy for everything.(Although I did notice an improvement when cable upgrades made me hook up the line directly to the TV rather than through the DVR/DVD player.)
Yeah, for normal garden variety TV, I'm fine with medium-good quality.

This is me. But, apparently, much worse than even I realized. It came to light when I tried to share something with a friend and he ran from the room.
Sigh. I'm never actually surprised when I discover how low my standards really are.
Hey, does anyone use Screenflow 3?
I've watched a ton of tutorials and read the manual and _still_ cannot master fading an audio clip. If anyone feels proficient, I would be ubergrateful for some help, here, via email, skype...whatever!!
Looks like I really need to get MS Word on my Macbook: how do I do that? What do I look for in the App store?
You have to buy MS Office in order to get Word on your Macbook. I think you might be able to get it from Amazon.
It is not cheap. Are you sure you need Word? Meaning: can Pages or Google Docs do what you need?
I have an Office 365 subscription - I think Microsoft is trying to move everyone over to the subscription model:
