I have had uverse for about 3 months now. Now while the backbone of it is fiber optic, in the residential end all is still handled by coaxial. Don't believe the stuff that people tell you about coaxial not being enough when compared to fiber because it can still pass more than the enough...

Just got back from the theatres and my wife and I both agree it was one of the best movies we have ever seen. Other than Slumdog Millionaire, this is really the only other movie that should be in contention for best picture Oscar.

I don't think the update is out yet to install games on the HDD. So far I am addicted to Gears 2. Although my Live connection is sucking right now because I can only do wireless and the config I have using an old laptop with ICS isn't working too good. I might have to get the wireless adapter...

Got myself a 360 today with Gears of War 2. Will probably end up ordering Halo 3 from Amazon later this week as well along with Left 4 Dead. The PS3 game content this holiday season has just not been there since the release of MGS4 and Xbox Live does have the better online experience. I was...

IMO the Veritas 2.2i are better speakers than the Classic 3.

When Joker told Batman that he is truly incorruptible. The third movie will be testing that theory. Same as how Gordon was talking to Batman at the end of Begins about escalation.

Which one sounded better?

All Roku netflix boxes have built in wireless as well as wired. I have mine connected via wireless and I still get max bars in streaming quality. I am about to try to the HD content though. I have my box hooked up to my TV via component and sound is hooked up via toslink to receiver.

How about the B&W Zepellin? :D Every time I see that thing at the apple store it cracks me up. But it does sound pretty nice and good bass too.

It's a standard DD 640kbps track and not DD+.

DD+ was an HD DVD thing and you will not find that on BDs. All of the TrueHD BDs that exist today have a DD 5.1 track as well in english unlike the DTS-HD tracks that will only have that although some BDs out there have a DD track alongside the DTS-HD/MA track. It was mandated by the HD DVD...

BTW the beginning part where it has the DC comics logo and Legendary films with the Batman fire logo thing are supposed to be silent. The sound doesn't start until the beginning of the IMAX scene.

Back in the old days with HD DVD if the movie had a TrueHD track and you didn't have HDMI or analog you would get no sound by selecting that track. You had to specifically choose the DD+ track in order to get sound through optical. As of right now only DTS-HD/MA is the only one that has the core...

The OS is whatever you want it to be. That little box is a full blown PC.

Specs of the reference ION system were the following: Intel Atom CPU (Most likely the single core running at 1.6GHz) Nvidia 9400M video 2GB of DDR3 ram HDMI and DVI out (the HDMI out can process 8ch LPCM audio) 1 internal SATA port (products from other manufacturers will most likely have...

BTW nvidia has announced their ION platform which uses an Intel Atom and fully supports 1080p video along with 8ch LPCM over HDMI. This tiny little box has the following inside: 2GB DDR3 ram Intel Atom 9400M graphics 500GB hard drive This is a chart showing CPU and memory usage while playing...

Also Creative has yet to make decent stable drivers for vista 64bit.

That Xonar card has horrible drivers. Buy a Radeon 4850 first and see if the HDMI audio on it performs to your liking before going out and buying another sound card.

The Radeon 4600 and 4800 cards are capable of sending 8ch sound @ up to 192kHz.

Once again the card will send a signal out the HDMI in PCM. As far as bitrate is concerned the audio has already been processed by the decoder so the card will output what is given to it. If they are capable of sending a DTS-HD/MA 24bit 48kHz audio stream I don't see how that is lacking. The...
