Art Crawl!!!

I have a dvr question. My second vcr gave up the ghost and I'm going to need a way to record two different things by the end of the month. (What with Lost and SPN being on at exactly the same time.) I thought I could add dvr to my comcast but they are only offering it to people who are getting 3 different comcast services. So, if I want to be able to say, record two things and watch a 3rd what do I need to look for in a dvr?

Thanks!

You can do that with a dual tuner Tivo if the third channel that's not recording is via antenna.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I need help with my iPod. I'm in tears here, seriously.

My sister gave me a Nano for my birthday and I've been trying to get it to work. First, it didn't like Panther, so I upgraded my sad little G3 iMac to Tiger. But, everytime I plug the iPod in, I get the registration page, only it won't display correctly on my screen. I only get part of it, some of the page appears to be below my screen and I can't move the window up or shrink it. Also, the graphic won't appear, just a note saying I need QuickTime and a tiff reading program. Then, there is no scroll bar or anyway to see any Agree or Disagree buttons.

After fighting with this all weekend, I took the thing to work, plugged it into my new work Mac Mini and proceeded through the registration. I thought I was good, but when I plugged it back into my home computer, I get the same old problem. and I can't log in to iTunes using the ID I just created today, at work!

I just want to put some music on my iPod! What the hell do I do??

check your OS. A friend's ipod didn't work properly on her computer either and I think it was an OS problem.

I upgraded my OS already.

yes, but on the box, the nano's specs works with your new OS?

do you need to upgrade the nano's firmware?

I think I've done both of those. The new OS is right for sure, and the first time I plugged the iPod in, it did something with an update.
