I just made a post under the main page to asking for ideas b/c there was definitley interest…we could kind of do what a few of us spoke about at the Belvridge Pub…where there would be a cover, and then maybe an addiional $1 tacked on to each drink or something like that…and take donations as well. Any other ideas?

Nope. I don’t even remember what I was doing at 4pm though. I think I was watching House on the dvr.

How about a baguette or loaf of artisan bread and a couple of wedges of nicer cheese (gouda, brie, chevre)? You could also buy or make some olive tapenade or hummous as spreads.

Really none of us should discuss what we do or do not have for security whether it be active or passive. Not in this public place.

Though I will say I have a video camera running from an old DVR experiment from a couple of years ago. I have not looked at it in months but I am going to re-point the camera to cover the door instead of the dogs :)

funny..one of the reasons I’m dumping comcast is BECAUSE of On-Demand…I just refuse to pay MORE money to watch something on demand (mostly movies)..and I DVR’d most other shoes I wanted.

I find Comcasts HD Advertising VERY deceptive…Sure..they have a lot of HD CONTENT, because they include all their OnDemand stuff.

-HD Channel wise, there’s simply no comparaison to Satellite. The main thing I’ll miss is the local PBS in HD, but, I’m sure I’ll survive..I’ll have Food TV HD and SciFi HD..that’ll hold me over.

and I’ll just use my computer for my weather forcast. It’s SEATTLE in Winter. It’ll be 48 degrees and raining. Next.

Just a note on an option.

I always have a computer with a tv card connected so I can watch tv in a window and capture bits I want to save or record entire shows for later. My DVR also does this but I also connect the output from my telescope and video camera to record digital video for later viewing or editing.

I am released from comcast bondage and save about 70.00 a month. It would have been more but I had a grandfathered plan that they kept trying to force me to upgrade so they could double the price. The last straw was after the 06 windstorm when they dropped power to my block by 40% and refused to fix it as long as I could get a signal on most of the channels when I moved the tv to within 10 foot of the demarc. I had paid for two boxes and full slate of channels for 12 years.

Dish and direct are both good. I have dish and a friend is a direct installer. They both have a good deal on HD DVRs.

The downside for some people is you lose the semi local cable news channel and the weather channel does not give the local radar and forecast “on the 8’s”. TWC just cycles through the regional current temps and the national radar. Also MSNBC is only available on the highest priced digital plan so Keith Olbermann viewers have to pay a few bucks more per month.

On the other hand, some channels come in both east and west coast editions. (three hours earlier)Nikelodeon? (twice the spongbob seems to tickle the 7 yeaar old.)

My DVR has totally released me from the tyranny of the tv schedual and fast forward at 4x spped through commercials keeps me from falling asleep and missing the last 15 min.
