Wow, a government that doesn't listen to the mooing cows!!!!! You should think when planning ANYTHING, including Dams for hydro power. It's nice to see someone is thinking instead of just reacting.

That is GREAT!!!! Wish someone would follow my brother around and do this when his wife calls. Of course, he'd be deaf within 3 days (48 waking hours of ringing!) if they did. ;-)

Even at home, I turn off the phones when watching a movie. Why even pause, when it's just some salesperson.

Interesting. When they were creating the white space spec. MS (and others) said there was no way to create a device like this. Guess now they want one, it's easy, lol

Missed points I've caught so far on SageTV: SageTV runs on Windows, Linux or Mac. I currently have 4 QAM (1 HDHomerun and 1 HVR-2250, with 2 tuners each) tuners on my system, and they work fine. The HDHR is MUCH easier to set up than the 2250. My currently system has 5 tuners: HDHR, 2250, and a WinTV-HD PVR. Never had a bit of trouble, other then when I mess with it. Been using SageTV for about 5 years, and I'm currently supporting 3 recording systems (mine, my dad's (he's 76) and my cousins) SageTV can also record ATSC (over the air HD) SageTV (on a Windoze box) and it's extender will play almost any file format you can throw at it. It's being continuously updated, and if you have a problem that is in there software (not driver or system) you get a direct connection to the devs. About the only problem I've heard, is that sending them a file (like a section of a HD file) can sometimes be a pain, but that's mainly the lack of file editors, and email limits! Oh, and they have a great and active forums group, that can help with the little bumps.

No, it does NOT save ANY money. Duke electric (?), which has the before and after records on Northern Indiana, where they just made the switch a few years ago from not having DST, had a study done using that data. There was NO saving what so ever, in fact, usage went up slightly (again, they also have areas that didn't change to compare normal year changes) up! (wish I'd kept the link, but I think it was even post here.)
