When I watch videos on CBS.com, the damn thing paused, like, every 5 seconds. But my connection should be fast as I am at work, and I closed everything else... What can I do?!?!
I'm so evil and... skanky. And I think I'm kinda gay.

are you watching videos at a popular time? when I watch first thing in the morning, I didn't have any problems.

Hmm. I tend to watch mid-day, but today I was watching a popular (I assume episode (HIMYM from last night). usually I am watching soap operas in the background at work, though, so I am not sure if it a popular time or they are popular shows....

I get that same herky jerky thing on cbs' full episode player but never have that problem with abc, regardless of the time of day.
I've never been able to figure it out.

Don't get me started on the CBS video player. We hates it. We hates it a lot.

Hivemind question: Does anybody use Quark?
I'm trying to find out if an Applescript that is built into the program can have a keyboard command created for it. I know nothing about scripting, and hours spent perusing scripting sites and Quark forums are just giving me a headache.
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm trying to decide whether to buy a Tivo based on the latest deal. Would hookup be as simple as replacing our current cable company DVR with the Tivo and then setting it up via our wireless connection?
DH wants to cut some of our ties to the crappy cable company and I think the purchase price of the Tivo would come out in the wash when you calculate a couple of years of Ti-faux rental plus their service fee.
Who hooks up your Tivo? Does it just come in a box with instructions or do you get a service person to do it?

Trust my rage
you hook up the Tivo yourself. Once you get it plugged in, it does the rest itself. My first Tivo was a pretty quick set up but I know you guys have a complex system so YMMV.

Hey there. A friend was wondering if there's a way to burn stuff from iTunes direct to a cd? I think not, but I'm not an apple person, at all, so I thought I'd ask the hivemind for assistance.

I think you just make a playlist andnthen hit the "burn" icon. I think it is on the right-bottom of the screen but I'm not positive. There is also an option from the pull down menu, I think.
