Ill take it off your hands please.

Could I transfer my current rate plan to a Tivo HD though? Through a long story, I pay only 5.95 per month for Tivo with a S2. Will I be able to get one of these HDs and continue at 5.95?

This makes me hopeful for a native PS3 app. That would be excellent.

Is Netflix streaming an issue with some manufacturers? As in they are not allowed to do it?

I am not surprised. Like many exclusivity agreements on this generation of consoles, the standard period seems to be 6 months. Which is coming up soon.

Ill take it off your hands if you would.

Part of the allegations are that the 360 is being favored at the expense of other devices (since MS supposedly hosts some of the stuff).

So his answer is basically, "we keep and serve different encodes of the material based on your device". Which can mean that they indeed serve better versions to various devices with no way to know what goes where.

I have tried a 360 and a PC side by side both plugged into the same router. The 360 gets better quality sometimes for no good reason. And I dont mean HD vs SD.

Brad,

Someone like her could well have asked for the best installer, but she would have no clue if she actually got him/her to come out

Also, how can you tell if they did a good job if you are not tech savvy to begin with to do it yourself, what is a relatively simple job.

So while you may be correct in saying that not all GS installers are bad, from a consumer perspective, there is no way to know or verify that you got someone who knows that they are doing.

i think it was the surrounds that wee swapped left/right.

so is this a premium channel like HBO and others?

An 1.50 per subscriber, is that really cheap? or will Comcast and others still charge us 15?

Can anyone explain how that works?
