Re: [CGUYS] Digital TV
The VHF range is huge in the way of bandwidth. Many people forget that part of the FM band is contained in this spectrum. If you have a local channel 6, tune to FM 87.9 or so and you will get that station on air. One of the ways that they have allowed multiple FM stations on the air is by limiting their power (or output wattage) and by tuning antennas. The local FM station has a very wide east west pattern with their antenna. If it were aimed north it would walk all over Montgomery AL stations, however it does not reach much farther north than 50 miles. However it reaches over 100 miles west. These same restriction can be used to make sure that adjacent VHF TV stations that still exist will not step on or get stepped on whoever gets the empty frequencies. I do not think any one entity will be able to get a VHF frequency and push their signal across the US, the wave length makes that impossible. So the new users of the Empty VHF frequencies will be much like TV stations I think. Licensed for an area.

Re: [CGUYS] Digital TV
True but most public TV stations are low powered stations. I can get only a couple of stations via antenna where I live. One of those is APT (Alabama Public Television) The other is a local Fox affiliate but both of these have low powered antennas. You might be surprised who is low powered versus who is not. Even in the big city there are many low powered TV stations that tend to be ethnic, cultural or similar type of stations. Stewart At 05:57 PM 1/10/2008, you wrote: On Jan 10, 2008, at 6:16 PM, Rev.

(This is the only url I have ever had problems with using OpenDSL.) At the OpenDNS web site, I used their CacheCheck feature which showed that they could not resolve www.highcriteria.com at any of their DNS, even with a Cache refresh. Is it just me?? and why?? I compared my OpenDNS addresses with yours and note that I have 208.67.220.220 for the second address, NOT 208.65..;. Maybe that is the difference? PS. I also tried BOTH www.highcriteria.com and just highcriteria.com: both worked.

I think it is a good thing that we use a variety of methods. It makes it a lot harder for the bad guys to rig the whole system with a single exploit. One of the things that bothered me about computerized voting was that there was not enough variety. Even when the system was from a different company, it still ran on the same highly insecure operating system. * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

Due to this, it took years to discover the pumps were rigged. * ==> QUICK LIST-COMMAND REFERENCE - Put the following commands in <== * ==> the body of an email & send 'em to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <== * Join the list: SUBSCRIBE COMPUTERGUYS-L Your Name * Too much mail?

[CGUYS] Digital TV
I just read an article in the local paper that noted not all TV stations will be converting to digital. There are only 1760 full power stations that will have to change. But there are over 2900 low power and 4400 translators stations that will not have to convert. Apparently if you get the wrong box and receive one of these low power or translator stations you might not get the stations with the box. Stewart Rev. Stewart A.

Good afternoon, I use an external hard drive (M:) to have my files on which ever PC I work.

Re: [CGUYS] USB Audio Interface
Now I'm really confused. I switched back and forth a few times specifying the OpenDNS DNS servers (208.67.222.222 and 208.65.220.220) and none (letting Verizon DSL select) and fail and succeed each time.

[CGUYS] CPCUG E&C: Taxes with CPA Jina Etienne
-- FREE Events! Register via e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 1/19/08 : TAXES: What Every Entrepreneur and Consultant Needs To Know 2/16/08 : BAKING A PODCAST--Easy As Pie Capital PC User Group (CPCUG) Entrepreneurs and Consultants SIG (E&C SIG) Saturday, January 19, 2008, 12:45-3:15 pm o 12:45 pm Check-in o 1:00 pm Program o 3:15 pm Networking Cleveland Park Library, 1st Floor, Large Meeting Room 3310 Connecticut Avenue, NW, Washington, DC TAXES: What Every Entrepreneur and Consultant Needs To Know Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA Audience: Consultants, Small Business Owners, Entrepreneurs, Soon-To-Be Small Business Owners, Freelancers, and Free Agents Description: Is your business paying more in taxes than required by law? Whether your business grosses millions of dollars each year or you are just getting started as an independent consultant, you probably hire an outside accountant to handle tax return submission. The ultimate responsibility for paying appropriate taxes, however, is yours. Do you have the basic accounting knowledge needed to supervise the work of your accountant? Do you stay current on tax law changes? Because tax return deadlines for corporations and individuals are approaching, the focus of this presentation will be on income tax compliance and preparation rather than on tax planning and consulting issues. This presentation will alert you to mistakes and oversights that can cost you money, and to tax law changes you need to know about. The presentation will be followed by a question and answer session, so gather your questions and join us. Speaker: Jina Etienne, CPA, has more than 15 years of public accounting experience. She began her career with Deloitte & Touche, one of the "Big Eight" accounting firms, where her focus was tax planning and compliance for corporations, partnerships, and S corporations ranging from government contractors and vending companies to hospitality and retail firms. When she left Deloitte & Touche to start Etienne & Associates, LLC, her focus shifted to the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses. With her own practice, Jina Etienne provides a wide range of accounting services for businesses and individuals, including tax planning and preparation, and business consulting. Her client base is diverse, including retail and service-based businesses as well as consultants and contractors. For individuals, her services generally include tax return preparation and tax planning, including tax research and representation before the IRS. Ms. Etienne earned an M.S. in taxation in 1993 and a B.S.B.A. in accounting in 1989 from American University. Jina has also taught accounting as an adjunct professor at American University and teaches QuickBooks at local accounting seminars and conferences.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2008 12:39 PM Subject: Re: USB Audio Interface FYI, I managed a work-a-round for the problem on not getting audio through the computer speakers while recording a cassette through the Behringer UCA202 USB interface. I had to run a separate pair of speakers out of the headphone port on the UCA202 in order to get external audio. Apparently the computer speaker muting is either intentional to prevent feedback or a conflict between the interface and/or the computer/Audacity program. I haven't found any documentation yet to support this but it doesn't matter at this point. Richard P. Re: [CGUYS] USB Audio Interface Behringer UCA202. It's a great unit but I just think that my computer or the Audacity program is muting my speakers while the interface is connected. The UCA202 does allow monitoring through headphones so that will work. I will try your suggestions along the way. As I posted earlier, my USB audio interface also creates a few strange things with at least one of my audio recording apps.
