Just got it installed today. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet though (it takes half an hour for the system to set up  ). It's nice because (as satellite companies will say as if it were a bad thing  ) you still get the regular analog channels, so you can watch basic cable on other TVs that don't have a digital reciever. The box is really small too, not even as long as the remote. About as big as my cable modem (which I guess makes sense  ). You can't use it at all without a remote though.  |

| Well all the other ranks don't need it. Assuming it's anywhere near decently set up it should just be like '# posts, name, image filename', so it's basically just a matter of splitting up the images and changing the filenames. Though I'm just assuming that's how it's set up. I wonder if they ever will finish fixing that system? The majority of people are still using the numgfx layout, which doesn't work so well without it. |

| VB is good if you need to hack up a simple program ASAP. Just to clarify on the different types of programs a bit: -Languages like C/C++ are compiled. You run the source code through a compiler, and it spits out machine code designed specifically for whatever type of CPU your system uses. This has the advantage of being faster and more efficient than anything else (and can run without needing any runtimes, drivers, etc - even without an operating system if you design it that way) but you can't, say, compile it for x86 (PC) and run it on a Mac. Also, it's very difficult to disassemble or decompile these back to source-code form, because there's no way for a decompiler to tell what parts are code and what parts are data. -Languages like VB and Java(?) are 'pseudo-compiled' (bytecode). It works the same as a regular compiled program, but it uses its own, made-up instruction set. You use another program (usually some sort of runtime) to convert the instructions to whatever type your CPU can use. These are slower, take up more memory, and generally require some sort of external program or file, but you can run the same program on any kind of computer as long as the runtimes are installed on it. (Think how an emulator works - it's exactly the same, but in this case the system it's emulating doesn't really exist.) One other thing to note is that it's easily possible to de-compile these back into almost exact source code (if anyone's written a program to do so), but you'll lose things like comments and function names. -Languages like Javascript are interpreted. It's the exact same idea as bytecode, but you don't compile it. You distribute the source code itself, and the system compiles it to whatever instruction set it needs. In other words it's just like bytecode, but a bit slower and completely open-source (as the source code is the program). |

Yeah, it's pretty nice. Basically just like satellite (I keep calling it that ) except that we can still watch analog channels on all the other TVs. And finally a real channel guide instead of having to wait for a slow scrolling list. The software leaves a little to be desired (no way to hide the channels you don't have  ) but it's a nice selection. Only cost $4 more than what we had before, so why not?  |

| If it worked once before, then it shouldn't be a driver issue. It might just be toast. (Or the thing you're plugging into it might be. ) (edited by HyperHacker on 06-07-05 08:57 AM) |

| A little too fixed, if you ask me. ...Wait, that doesn't make sense. --------------------  Why software patents SUCK and what you can do about it 'Zig' Bus Lines. Moving for great justice since AD 2101. Everyone have a hell of a Christmas.  |

Anyone could have bought a Coke or Pepsi, looked at the code for a free music download, and come up with that.
