Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well yeah.

But I laughed anyway.

Ok, now I'm reading all kinds of horror stories about HD from cable boxes not working with receivers. Gaaaaaaaaaaaah. I just want to be able to plug shit in and have it work. Is that really so much to ask?

[The real problem is that most of these forum posts are from 2006, and I have no idea how accurate any of this information still is.]

Couldn't you just run HDMI to the TV and then digital audio from the TV to the receiver?

Yes, that's what I suspect we'll end up doing.

Do they last long enough that if you're taking, say, fifty or so pictures with flash all day, they'll be okay?

absolutely!

Hey. New board.

Wow. My receiver mentioned earlier already shipped. Nice.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Want. Although something tells me it won't be available in the US.

Maybe it will be sold here, though each box will include a lawsuit from MPAA.

Total lack of Sting means I will not purchase this device.

Our wings are not tired.

PC, I have the Canon SD750 as my second camera (first is a Nikon D40x) and it's been fantastic. A charged battery lasts for hundreds of photos; I've never had a problem with it. I would never go back to AAs.
