Re: [CGUYS] DVRs [Was: No Internet for You [Was: MS IE 7]
I have some stuff that is years old and have watched dozens of times with my daughter. No DRM restrictions there; although, I have lost a TiVO full of stuff in a hard drive crash There is a DRM option in the TiVO software for forced deletion after a fixed time determined by a flag set by the network programmers. It hasn't been used much There was a hullabaloo about it a few years ago when a few local programmers set it on a few programs. No one has said much about it since and I suspect that the programmers thought better of using it. You can set the tivo to keep 1,2,5,10 or all programs for a Season Pass. The oldest roll off the end of the list. You can also record first run or all (first run and repeats).. You can also set it to start recording a few minutes early and/or hours extra which comes in handy for shows that run after Sunday football games that have CBS running hours late. The guide data is occasionally way off when the networks pull switcheroos last minute. There is one feature that people either love or really loathe - Suggestions. Suggestions guesses what you might like based on your ratings up three thumbs up or down. It records these programs if there is extra space and they are the first to go if you have a show programmed to record. I find it gets things I want to watch about 20% of the time. It keeps rotating thing so you get new surprises. I have lots of hard drive space on three machines so it doesn't bother me. I have one machine that is largely shows for 7 year old and it gets things for kids without much other stuff. On Dec 5, 2007 7:00 PM, Rev.

This is reserved space and is independent of anything else going on in the box. Can Tivo do this? Possible I have not totally played with it yet. My Replay will let me output, but only using the RF port. That additional conversion degrades the signal too much. Does Tivo offer a less lossy option? Mine are both hooked up via ethernet. One cat5 the other Wireless G. No loss of signal, totally digital. Size of file determines quality (What you have it set at.) I have mine hooked up to the TV via Audio/Video cables. But can also do S video. Cable is for last resort. I read that they enforce a very broad interpretation of DRM. That Tivo enforces automatic deletion after you play a program. That the program owner can set it to automatically delete shows after 24 or 48 hours even if you don't watch them. That the program owner can disable the ability to fast forward during commercial breaks. That it monitors usage and uploads detailed usage data to the mothership. Any of this true? All but the last is true. It think they do upload recording stuff, but I think that was to make the folks in Hollywood happy. I can download movies from Amazon on my box but I have not done so, and this might be where DRM gets involved. But I have recorded and downloaded and burned a number of different TV programs without a hitch. earlier in the season I downloaded and watched previews (Pilot programs) of some of the fall TV programs. I kept them well past the airing of the Pilots on broadcast without a problem. Oh no commercials in these previews NICE! I can fast forward through any commercial, matter of fact, Tivo will preview when the programs begins so you can stop the FF and jump right into the program. Stewart Rev. Stewart A.

Re: [CGUYS] Diskworld Audio books
The early ones are mostly Nigel Planer with a couple by Celia Imrie (Wyrd Sisters and Equal Rites). IMS the later ones are all Stephen Briggs. I like Planer and Imrie but I haven't listened to a Briggs yet but he gets good reviews from the folks from either us.lspace.org or alt.fan.pratchett. Some of these books are very expensive so they are good candidates for spending a monthly credit on audible. You can find deals for a free credit or two with a test membership. As an aside Hogfather is due to run again on ION TV which is 66 in the DC area. It follows the book very well and has lots of Pratchett involvement. Planer plays the Student Wizard Mr Sidney.

Re: [CGUYS] COMPUTERGUYS-L Digest - 1 Dec 2007 - Special issue (#2007-851)
The solution ended up that there were remnants of three .NET programs still resident on the computer. By using a registry cleaner (registry mechanic) I was able to fix the tech support changes to the registry, then use a uninstall program (not the Microsoft ones which didn't work, but Smarty Uninstall) to do a complete removal of the .NET software. This allowed me to finally reinstall .NET which fixed almost everything. I still had to reinstall a few programs, but the installations actually worked where before it did not. Conclusions - bet wary of tech support J If I had thought to use non Microsoft registry fix and uninstaller before hand, I probably could have avoid days of frustration and hours of work, yet on all the message boards I read of people with the same .NET errors, this never came up.

Re: [CGUYS] DVRs [Was: No Internet for You [Was: MS IE 7]
There are all sorts of ways to set up record flags for things. It is called Wish list on TiVO. You can track almost anything and anyone you want. There are some set categories and words you enter. I have friend from High School who is an actor and I follow her career this way. Between Wish list and Suggestions you should be able to find things to make her happy. Suggestions works best if you rate things with your thumbs buttons. As your TiVO gets to know you it will be more accurate. I guarantee it will record at least one Spanish language show to find out if you speak Spanish. I like my TiVOs and they are the main thing keeping me with DirecTV. DTV doesn't sell TiVO's anymore but they still support them. I just got FIOS and wouldn't mind getting rid of one more bill having just fired COX internet. I will say TiVO's fan base is nearly as rabid as Apple's fan base so you should feel right at home.

Conclusions - bet wary of tech support J If I had thought to use non Microsoft registry fix and uninstaller before hand, I probably could have avoid days of frustration and hours of work, yet on all the message boards I read of people with the same .NET errors, this never came up. Is there any sign that MS is going to give up on this stupid Registry thing? It is a colossal source of hard to solve problems. Neither Mac not Xnix use this kind of thing and they are both better off fof it. * == 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] AIFF to ALE
Can you convert AIFF music files to Apple Lossless music files? If yes, is there any loss of audio quality? I'm asking because the Griffin iMic comes with software that only records in AIFF lossless and not Apple Lossless and I want to use iTunes to manage my music files.

Re: [CGUYS] removing Norton
I used the Norton Removal tool yesterday ...first it asked me to use WindowsXP uninstaller to remove Ghost...then it proceeded and with that rebooted. Boot was ok but XP hung on shutdown ...only solution was to reinstall Norton 2003 (without Ghost and without NAV) and run Norton WinDoctor which must have fixed it as there were lots of errors shown. Now winXP boots and shuts down fine. I am loath to uninstall Norton2003 again ...any thoughts about this? -Original Message- From: Michel Lowe [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, November 30, 2007 2:56 PM To: 'rlsimon' Subject: RE: removing Norton Dunno, sorry.

If it or Symantec is preinstalled I remove them. They tend to wrap their weasely tentacles around the registry, leave lingering hooks and DLLs that make them a mess to uninstall. Sometimes you wind up forced to use their deletion application because the regular uninstall fails. That was what kicked off this whole thread -- a user unable to remove NAV cleanly. When Norton just did utilities they were okay, I don't think security is their forte, especially the Internet bundle like you mentioned. Considering the trouble they put you through my personal opinion is you are better off to scrap it all and pick best-of-breed products you prefer. A lot of folks like Avast (free); I'm partial to Trend Micro's PC-Cillin (about the same price as NAV), but to each his own. If you don't want to use the Windoze firewall try Zone Alarm, another freebee. And you really have to run multiple spyware removal products if you want to keep out the slime that can show up on your system. It seems like no single product gets everything.

Re: [CGUYS] CGUYS] Tivo vs. Verizon
I understand series one used Harddrives that did not last. I have two series 2 receivers and am happy with them.

Re: [CGUYS] CGUYS] Tivo vs. Verizon
I haven't had a hardware problem with a TiVO other than one dead hard drive but my TiVOs are two Hughes DVR40s with hard drive upgrades to about 170 Hrs and 260 Hrs and a DirecTV R10 with about 140 Hrs of upgraded hard drive. All my TiVOs are direcTV units and they limit the software upgrades. The last one caused some rebooting problems that TiVo would probably have fixed more rapidly than DTV allows. If you get used to a TiVO I doubt you will like any other unit as much. The interface is slick although some people criticize it for looking cartoony. The guide data is good but occasionally falls behind the networks last minute rescheduling- more likely a network problem. Find a friend who has one or play with one in a store with for a few minutes. That should tell you if it is different enough than the FIOS unit to be worth it.

Used to be that when somebody sent a link in an email, I could click on the link the site would open in Firefox. that no longer works. Nothing happens when I click on the link. do I need to reconfigure something? what? Today I had to fix that same thing with the Notes Email client. It was one of the preference settings and it had been pointing to a browser that was no longer installed. Looking at Thunderbird's settings I don'e see such an option. On the Mac setting the default browser in Safari's preferences actually has global impact. Perhaps that's the trick? I can't test it because I do not use Thunderbird. * == 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] more on petitioning Maryland to belay the computer tax...
Again, just the messenger. /gayley knight mother geek productions begin forward The Charles County Technology Council (CCTC) has been following the Maryland computer services tax that the governor recently signed into law. Several groups, including the Maryland Chamber of Commerce, Greater Baltimore Technology Council and the Tech Council of Maryland are calling for the repeal of this tax. We've just setup a petition which you can sign. CCTC will forward the signatures of the petition to the appropriate legislators during their first session next year. Please pass this along to any one affected: consumers and businesses alike To sign the petition: http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/repeal-marylands-computer-services-sales-tax.html More Computer Services Sales Tax Information: While the bill was being debated on the House floor, Del. Jeannie Haddaway (R-Dist. 37B) asked that question. Looking at the provisions that are included in the tax, I see some language about programming, Haddaway said. So I'm wondering about web designers. Are they in or are they out? House Minority Leader Del. Kumar Barve (D-Dist. 17) responded, They're in.

Re: [CGUYS] Outlook Express Problem
While I only use Thunderbird for email, in order to email photos, Fuji Pix will only accept Outlook Express as a mail handler therefore OE is set as the default.
