Absolutely Maybe. And We Mean it This Time!

The Senate has passed yet another bill delaying the adoption of broadcast DTV. This one would make the switch “voluntary and television stations could go ahead if they wished with digital transmission on February 17 as scheduled and drop analog transmission.” (source) Yeah… if you could just go ahead and put the new cover sheets [...]

Catch the Frak Up

I haven’t found a way to embed this clip so I’ll link to it. Take 13 minutes (with an advert at the beginning) to Catch the Frak Up. The final ten episodes of Battlestar Galactica are about to hit the picture box. I am so fr*kking stoked. UPDATE: Wow… that was dark!

BSG in Eight Minutes

Well, the first three seasons, anyway. I tried doing this with season one of Babylon 5. It took me six hours to tell.

TiVo on a PC? I’m there.

I just happened to see this post on TechCrunch about Nero and TiVo teaming up to offer the TiVo experience on a tuner-equipped PC. Long time readers know that I built one of those a while back. I’ll probably need a newer tuner card (for Clear QAM digital on cable), but the price isn’t too [...]

The Eagle has landed

Anyone here remember “Space 1999?” How about the series that preceded it called “UFO”? Well, if you remember “UFO,” then you’re my new best friend ’cause few people seem to recall it ever having been on TV. Space 1999 was kinda cheesy, lacked a lot of so-called “scientific accuracy,” and still induces hysterical laughter in [...]

I’m late to the party but I recently discovered that, as part of our subscription to NetFlix, we can watch some titles from our PC without having to wait for a DVD in the mail. As a result I’ve been able to catch a few episodes of old TV shows without having to interrupt TT’s [...]
