Ahh, yes. I noticed the prices have *now* broken that barrier... The main developer stated that 1.7 or 1.8 GHz should be an expensive enough CPU to do simultaneous encoding and decoding (whilst reading and writing from the disk, I'd assume!). That was the important bit, to be able to actually accomplish the "time-shifting" effect. I must've been trying to write something like <b>$400</b>, how silly.
btw, is there a cooler word for cpu/chips? Is "silicon" overly-uber, or alternatively maybe it is doomed, since other materials are becoming popular? I like boxen, and wish I could put some better "chipzen" in my own boxen. bb On Wed, 2003-02-05 at 22:05, Patrick R.
