Re: Nice Endorsement of SnapStream
This is the perfect example of what the Tivo CEO said the other day at All Things D. He called Tivo's name recognition both a blessing and a curse because many people refer to any DVR as a Tivo.

Re: Trim commercials

Re: HVR 1600 or TV Wonder 650?
I replaced a 250 with a 1600. As far as I can tell, the picture quality for analog is as good as the 250, and as hoglander said, the HD picture is awesome. One nice thing about the 1600 is that you...

Re: New Video Card Purchase
The consensus seems to be 7600GS or higher on the Nvidia side, or a X1300 or higher (basically anything that supports AVIVO) on the ATI side. On the onboard side several people have been happy with...

Re: Hauppauge HVR 1600 Analog
I don't think it supports OTA analog. Per the website:
Notes:
* For Analog TV reception, you need an analog cable TV connection. If you have a digital cable set top box or a satellite box, the...

Re: Upgraded from 4.5 ~ 4.6 now issues arise
If you had the 1600 installed under a previous version, you definitely have to go in a remove it's sources and re-add them under 4.6. I did this and now I can record an analog show and an HD show at...

Re: Quieting Existing PC
For the video card, it's probably easier to just buy a fanless card. I have a used fanless Geforce 6200 AGP card if you are interested. If it fit in my Shuttle, it'll definitely fit in whatever...
