I don't get why the XBox needs wireless G :? (other than to milk $150 - 200 buxs out of their customers). Still, you got a good deal Trev, and I'm all for good deals ;)

Should be fun to play it on Live! Enjoy :)

Hey guys :later:

I just thought I'd say hi.
Oh, and I wanted to say...
evrytime I look at the forum's main page and check out who's signed in, I read "Hidden Member", I start to giggle :rf Is it just me?

[Andrew Pratt]

Ben I hope so :)

Bent,,Looks like you are a Full Member now.

Well, The XBOX wireless thing is going to go into the garbage.
It's not plug and play. :M
It won't connect.
Something to do with the IP address.
I can get on Live with an ethernet cable connection, but not the wireless.
Weird.
Anyways, how do I get my IP
net mask, gateway, submask, and DNS..
I'll try to enter these manually.
At first I thought I was maybe out of range,,
Not the case though as I tried it out in my computer room where the
wireless router is located. NO GO!! :M
Junk..

I wonder if the folks who work at Microsoft wear paper hats?

[Andrew Pratt]

Trevor it could be the settings in your router. Do you have the router set to limit the number of IP addresses or to specific MAC addresses (you should) if either of those are true you'll need to make some adjustments in your router to let the new wireless device have access to an IP address.

Hey Bent!

Picked up two of the giant size shelving units at Lowes today, you know the ones that come chrome, black, or white I think, grated metal with the slip on shelf catches. 72 tall X 48 wide X not sure how deep, pretty deep. Gonna try to regain control of my back bedroom, just to much freekin junk! At least it will be organized junk now, lol. Dang 78 bucks a unit. Also picked up a table that may work for a projector table, after I assemble it, mission style to match my furniture somewhat. 216.89 total gone on 3 items, lol.

Good Evening Everyone! Hope everyone had a joyful Christmas!

A friend of ours, Ron, came down from Birmingham and stayed with us for the weekend. Another friend, Steve (the fella that helped me with the HT room), he came up for the weekend. My sister was up from Tampa. We've had a house full with other friends coming over to eat and visit this past week. We finished up our last Christmas/birthday cook out tonight at another friends house and all our company has departed. What a great time we have had. I really enjoy it when we all get together.

Everyone is excited to see the HT room coming along. We may actually have a small crowd for the Super Bowl.

The HT room is primed now and most of the ceiling texture is on. I should get to start finish painting Wednesday. I should get some quality time with it this next week.

Congrats EJ! (for Isabella and the Hitachi)

I'm getting those same red X's Chris.

Hey Gang :later:

I have the week off....... Whoo hoo! :banana:

Lex-Miester... Thaks for the accolades, however I have forgot everything I leard about networks already.. I have a retension problem.. :P

Trev, Check that the wireless xbox live card supports WEP encryption. Also check to see if you have encryption enabled, because if you do, you'll have to enter in the WEP key the router is currently using into the Xbox wireless card. If thee Xbox card does not support WEP encrpytion you'll have to disable it in your router, although i can't see why it wouldn't.

to find your routers settings type in http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar of your web browser. This will take you to your router.

Select the status page to see all your routers current settings IP, subnet, Default gateway...etc

Select the DHCP tab and see if DHCP is enabled. It has to be for Plug n play, other wise you will have to enter in an IP address into the router and Xbox Live wireless card.

If DHCP is enable, selected the DHCP clients table.. Note your router's IP is 192.168.1.1 it will assign IP address in sequential numbers form that, ie the next number will be 192.168.1.100 You will have to assign the next available number to your wireless card if DHCP is not enabled. If it is, your router will just assign the next number automatically.

That really should be all you need to do. You may have to enter the IP address manually into the Xbox console as my experince with the internal network card is it's not as plug n play.


So to recap:

Check the status of the WEP encrpytion of your router. If it is on, get the key and enter that into the Xbox wireless card, if supported. If not, disable WEP on your router.

See what your routing table looks like and assign the next available IP number it will be something like 192.168.1.103 Your number of available users is set to 50 by default, so you should be OK with what Andrew stated.

Go to your Xbox console and enter in the IP address (assigned by the router) and or WEP key.

Have fun, and if you find it's just not working, call me and I'll come on over. Try calling me on my Cell

Oh as an aside, you will have to upgrade your router to a G standard 54mb/s type, as currently B standards only transfers at 6 mb/s over wireless. You may notice lag during Live Play, which would really suck... You should just keep the Lan cord if you ask me, but, if you gotta have wireless, ya gotta have it I suppose.

I sent an Invite to you to play Rainbow Six on Live with Cam and I, but you have not accepted me on your friends list yet. I didn't know if you have the game or not, but I though I would send the invite anyway.


I have to go and get breakfast ready as Brook is leaving back to calgary this morn.

Since your DSL is still capped at 1 meg wouldn't that be a bigger bottleneck then the "B" vs "G" router?

Well after a few short weeks of spam free email I'm now starting to get a few each day. Amazin since I haven't posted my email anywhere but on the forums :roll:

Very good point Andrew, unless you are on a GB system... ;)

Or gaming in a Link system of Xboxes

I have been using that mailwasher program that Gord turned me on to. It bounces back the spam, so after a month or so of using it, it has reduced my spam to a managable level that I don't need to run Mail washer anymore.

I use to get nearly 75 spams a day, after bouncing the spam back for 2 months, now I maybe get 2-3 a day, some days I get 0 (zero).. I think it was a worth while venture, rather than changing my e-mail address.

Thanks Gordo :T

OSIM - hello everyone. :D :sn I'm here till lunch and then its back to my hard vacation life. :P

Sonnie - thanks

Lex - Its never cheap going to Lowes. I always walk out with more than I intended on buying. :twisted:

Trev - Listen to Bing. Sound like good advice.

Bing - I got XBox Live for Christmas and will be setting it up this week. When I do, I'd love to play with you guys in Rainbow.

Bent - Hey

Let me know as well if you buy Rainbow Six, as I will too. Ghost Recon is on for a good price right now (original one not Island Thunder). If you get that we can play as Cam and I have it. We have been just renting Rainbow to see if we like it. So far i have to say i do. we did the Alcatraz mission and it was just like the movie "The Rock"

Let me know EJ... Looking forward to gaming and speaking with you on Live! :T

Well I have to say , after 67 years, I no longer believe in Santa. I waited up well into the wee hours of Christmas day and he didn't come. And I even had a shot of Jack Daniels waiting for the old fart. Well, that's it. I will nhever fall for that " there really is a Santa " thing again. Never. Period.

You know, a UPS is only effective when it's turned on. My 2 year old is attracted to it like a bear to honey. He can't help pressing the button and turning the darned thing off. :LOL:

"I promise Daddy, I won't push the button anymore" When that comes from a 2 year old....it doesn't hold a lot of weight yet.... the little turkey.

Ah well, who can blame him? His dad is also attracted to anything shiny that lights up. The kid's cut from the same cloth ;)

Maybe a piece of tape over the light and the button will kill the fascination with the device...if it was the cat I'd shoot water at him :twisted: . That wouldn't go over so well with my son though. ;)

Buying a used DVDO I-scan plus to convert my dual 301 disc dvd changers from 480i to 480p. I hope it does a good job. :) Because basically lately, I've just been using it for a file system. I find what I want, then press open, and it goes to that disc location. Remove it, view it, then put it back. What a hassle that is. But I figured it was worth it to go progressive.

Yes, Andrew, I bought Gregg's. There was another one on another forum for almost 3 times the price, but I wasn't convinced it was 3 times the unit. If I am disatisfied, you can trade back to DVDO on newer models and get trade credit. So, it's a win win really.

Anyways,,Thanks Bing,,I try the procedures you mentioned.

On the way home I picked up the Lynksys Adapter , just in case the
Xbox one doesn't start up.

My Windows is buggered up a bit.
After I restarted, I get a message that I have made many changes to Windows, therefore must reactivate it.
So I try this and it tells me my Key is over used and I have to resubscribe for $84.00 US funds..:M
I don't understand the reasoning of this. :nonod:

I'm tired, but I can't sleep :tired: http://www.desertcombat.com/ In this game it's modern warfare. You can control all types of Choppers, Jets, Tanks, AA Guns...etc or basic infantry foot assault. It incredible!

With the voice over IP it was like being in combat together..


Trev, if you didn't set up a password it should let you in. Try linksys as the user name, and admin as the password. If not try resetting the router although that may require reestablishing your connections..

Happy New Year all TTP'ers!
Not much to go on the old year and all I can say is that I'm happy it's over. How ever next year will turn out it can't get worse than this year.

Well it sort of ended nicely atleast. I'm back on a jobb from 1'st of January and our daughter came home with her latest photo shooting on a CD yesterday. Trying out as a Hair model. If she continues like this I might not have to worry about working anymore :rofl:

Wow Mats, beautiful daughter!

Trev, the Xbox's IP should be the one that is assigned by the router. Do you have DHCP enabled at the router? If so it will just assign an IP for the xbox, it will be 192.168.1.100 or 192.168.1.101 or 192.168.1.102 or 192.168.1.103...etc Click the DHCP tab on your router and then DHCP clients table to see what is available.

As well check that WEP encryption that I mentioned. If your router is running that you will have to enter in the WEP key into the xbox. The WEP is a wireless encryption code, your xbox wireless adapter has to have that code to be able to connect to the router.

Andrew that picture of Lauren in your AV is cute

Hello folks!

Re: glaucoma and eye drops - while back home for the holidays, I found out my mom's eyes weren't responding well to the eyedrops, and she was scheduled for laser eye surgery the week of Christmas, but she wanted to see me when I was home that week, so she pushed the surgery procedure to next week, but it was still a bit of a shock to hear, and I hope things go well for her.

Back in the old neighborhood, hearing stories from my friend's mom about having to deal with her 84 year old mom that has dementia and also constant supervision was heartwrenching. I don't look forward to that time with my own parents.

My New Year's resolution is to stop giving more than I can reasonably expect to get around the holidays next year because I think my give/get ratio was 80/20 (50/50 would be more equitable, of course).

My recent project has been building a new PC, and the main emphasis was to turn it into a machine to create DVDs with (migrating LDs to DVDs), so that's where my attention has been attuned to for the past month. It's been a fun learning curve.

Hope everyone had a nice holiday season, and has a safe New Year's as well!

Anyhoo... I had the last 2 weeks off, and today is the only day I work, as I get the next 5 days off. It was good to touch base with work because 2 weeks is long enough to be away without falling behind on projects/etc.

I have a small sinus/cold thingamajig going on, so that's stink, hopefully I'll get rid of it soon. I seem to be able to recover faster from colds, but it requires me to be a hermit for the most part.

I went into the DHCP clients table and found the IP that was assigned to
the MN-740 (xbox game adapter)
I tried both IP's manually and it still doesn't work.
I also put in a mac address still doesn't work.

The IP's for the Xbox were 192.168.1.115 and 121 at the end.

I've been fighting a low grade sinus infect. for a while now. Usually happens this time of year. It comes and goes. But this week, it took a turn for the worse, sore throat, swollen lympth node on my neck started on the weekend. Then the infection moved in and the node settled down. I was up last night about every hour on the hour until 5 or 6 this morning, then I did sleep 3-4 hours without getting up. What a pain. Feel weak, and cruddy generally. I felt it coming on yesterday but worked through it on my garage, and the night before putting up my shelves and loading them down. Not today, resting mostly.

Trevor grab your notebook and drive down the street. I bet you'll still have a connection for several houses or even the end of the street. From my living room I can see at least one other wireless network from a house across the street on the other side of ness so its at least 150 feet away...likely much more since the first two houses are older couples and I doubt they have wireless networks.

Well my MF DAC is in the rack and so far I'm a little dissapointed. I guess I was hoping it would sound much much better then the DAC's in the Denon but while there are differences its subtle.

Maybe it's the eyes, I dunno. But when I pop up CNN, and it's got crap flashing on the screen, I move the window out of sight until it stops.

So, I am motion sensitive, and Andrew's light sensitive. What are the rest of you guys? lol. You better not get an MC-12 Andrew. They've got leds that are about like bright optical lights. The red aren't bad, but the blue are very bright.

GEEZ, there are a LOT of default motion icons to choose from in the avatar list, so you better have a talk with Mats, Bing etc...

So I changed it for all you folks who thought it was a threat to their manhood :evil: (names withheld).

Personally, I thought it was pretty cute.

There was a nicer and more subtle way of asking for a change. That was piss poor.


I'm sorry , I don't buy the motion excuse otherwise you would have had Mats nix all motion avatars. :M




"A RONSTER!"

[Lex]

There's high activity motion, and there's low activity motion. Low activity motion is not that distracting. It's the ones moving a lot and fast that are.
Anyone I see with high activity motion will be asked to reduce it. Sorry, that's just how I feel. If people don't want to cooperate, it will become a rule of no motion at all. I really don't care.
Imagine if every person in a thread had high activity motion icons. It would look like a damn circus. That's not the purpose of the avatar space. That space is really about something special to you, HT gear, your own pic, something of value.

[Andrew Pratt]

I wonder if Trev, Lex, or Andrew could possibly ever make a resolution to not make any audio or video upgrades for just one year?

I'm honored just to be included in that list :LOL:

Well I spent a little more time listening to the MF DAC tonight and there's a few things that really bug me about it. First there's a bunch of REALLY bright blue lights on it that I'm going to need to fix. I thought they were bad until I powered off the transport then the stuppid thing starts flashing between the coax and optical inputs looking for a new source...so there you are watching TV and there's a very bright blue light bouncing back and forth...I know I'm anal about lights but come on that's rediculous. I also tried using the Denon as a transport and a DAC at the same time using two different inputs on the Rotel and to be honest while the MF does sound slightly smoother the differences are quite minor which either means the Denon's Burr Browns are already really good or both it and the Sony suck as transports. Given that the MF reclocks the DAC I'm not so sure its a transport issue but its worth looking into I guess. I'm not totally disappointed though as now my jukebox sounds much better then it did before but I guess given the Class A rating stereophile gave this DAC I was expecting a little more "jaw drop". I'd be curious to hear what Jeff has to say if he drops by for a visit.

Andrew, I am not really sure why you bought a DAC..
With a digital connection doesn't the receiver over ride the CD/DVD player.

As for gear this year,,
I really have my eye on the Denon 5900 DVD player..That's only if my Toshiba SD-9200 doesn't do justice with FPTV once it is set up.
Also, I would like to get the Monster HTS-3600 Power conditioner.

Trevor, if your 9200 is not progressive, you will need to rush out and pick up a budget progressive player. big difference in 480i and 480p.

Speaking of upgrades, I slid one more in before year end, though delivery won't actually occur until 2004. So, which is that? This year or an early start on next? ;)

Trevor, Andrew is passing his Rotel an analog signal from the DAC, and using analog bypass, which means it bypasses all digital processing of the receiver, and is output as pure as possible to the amp. At least I guess he has analog bypass. Even if not, as long as it's not a digital processor, meaning everything is processed digitally, it could still be pure analog, well mostly. :)

night again,
Lex

[Trevor Schell]

Lex,,The Toshiba SD-9200 is progressive and produces the best darn Audio that I have heard from my components to date!!
If the Video is not up to par though, then the Denon will be in the House!

Morning.

Here's a chainsaw Tim the Toolman likely inspired:

Andrew,

Maybe you're approaching the point of diminishing returns for your level of system.

You've mentioned that you felt that your room was a little dead...maybe you need to revisit that aspect.

Morning Gents.

Here's a pic of my beautiful niece.

Andrew - sorry your new DAC didn't WOW you. I can undestand the dissapointment. 8O That snake is HUGE> very scarey

Patrick - Best of luck with your Mom.

E - congrats on the job interview.

Good Morning Guys!

Just watching the Canada vs Czech game..5-2 in the third.

What is everybody doing tonight for New Years celebrations?
I will be working overnight.

E!,,Gaming is a big part of the HT room.
Just wish they had more 1080i games available.

Gordon,,That's one heck of a chainsaw.
One could have some fun with that, if you could lift it.

Sonnie,,No resolution like that for me.
I will be doing a few upgrades this year , which are somewhat planned out.
Also i want to get set up again with surround EX..That means a couple more speakers to the rear.
My 61" Tosh will likely end up in the garage.. :P

[Andrew Pratt]

Well I think there's a few things holding back the MF dac...one being the transport...and the other being that i'm stuck using an optical connection as its the only digital connection out from both the Denon and the Sony. Its for that reason that I can see myself upgrading from the Denon 1600 to the 2900...solely to get a better transport, coax out and SACD of course. That will have to wait though as there's plenty of other things to take care of first outside the HT room.

Just get out the old credit card and go crazy Andrew!! :P
I see the Denon 5900 in your future.

I am also seriously looking at the Panasonic DVD ram recorder
with the 80 HD built in to it. This offers 106 hours of recording onto the hard drive.
Also, makes a perfect companion to the DVD camcorder. :yesnod:

New Years Resolutions ?

Yeah I got one. I'm gonna stop getting these old age things like bleeding ulcers and glaucoma.

Hey, E, that sounds like an interesting job. Hope the interview goes well. And hope you're enjoying the snow. We haven't seen snow here since early December. It was 50 F on Xmas eve and 65 F on Christmas day and it's been in the high thirties and forties ever since. Okay with me.

Say, I wonder if TEX MEEK is out making snowmen on his front lawn.

Well HAPPY NEW YEAR fellow Guiders. :dance:

I've been having a lot of ERROR problems at this site lately. I posted about it over in Administrative.

You know for what they ask for those DVD reocrders, you could put together a pretty nice HTPC with a triple format DVD recorder and a 160 GB hard drive or a RAID pair of Serial ATA drives for about the same dough...

something to think about.

Granted, it's a little more work in the setup.

Yea...it snowed alright, about 2-3" of the white stuff! Took Andrew out this morning and shot some video of him playing in the snow! 8)

Thanks everyone for all your well wishes on the whole job situation...this one interview coming up sounds VERY interesting to me...it's a new position for the company, so those are always fun and somewhat unique for everyone involved. We'll see...walking by faith and livin' it up! :D

I might try and build a HTPC this summer to see if I can get the DSS running though it as well to act as a true Tivo type unit.

Gord did you get my email about tonight? It looks like its going to be pretty damn cold compared to what we've had so far this holiday season :(

[Lex]

Mats, yours isn't dancing across the whole block, that is a difference.

Andrew, the DAC is a "milk it for the last little bit" type device. The changes will be suttle, but in the end with a great transport, takes you as far as you can go.

lex

[Gordon Moore]

Yeah I just replied,

I just got back from lunch at the forks with Kathy and the kids and it's frickin cold. Must be -30C with the wind (I just checked -25C with the wind). THere sure is a lot of family friendly activities on. There were free shows at the Planetarium and the Museum today. You could see the new Parklands /Mixed Woods exhibit for no dough. Kathy said it's pretty cool for something new. The Planetarium is a bit of a dud. It's really showing its age.

All that said about the wind...It wouldn't be right as a northerner to put the kybosh on the fireworks so I say let's play it by ear. I have the gear necessary to survive the cold but I don't know about anyone else. So let's just see how people feel. One nice thing about freezing your footsies outside is that it makes coming back to hot chocolate that much sweeter.




"A RONSTER!"

[Bing Fung]

OK, I don't really see How my name got dragged into this whole silly Avatar despute....

Regardless I find Lex's stance and argument to be flawed and unfair. I understand about the high movement images as if it's flashing like some bad acid trip, that could be annoying. However I didn't see anything wrong with Gord's avatar and Jeremy has a simular one with a whole line dance, and nobody compalined about that.

I can see if the Avatar is offensive in nature or discrimatory, however this latest regulation is a bit offside as to be over bearing... I suppose it is Doug's site, so his way or the highway...

:?

Have a Great Happy New Year Gang ...... :lurk:

Get your Avatar back up there.
Nothing wrong with it.
As I said before, The girls love it!

Very cold here too, Compared to what we had in the past month.
We also had a bit of snow as well the other day.
So now it is white again!

Guys,,I'll pass on the computer thing..
I could turn my Bluezone PC into that if I needed.
However the Panasonic DVD recorder is what I want. :yesnod:

Hope everybody has some great New Years celebrations
and a great 2004.

Andrew, Maybe I sent it to your work one :?

5:30 pm is fine. The other couple backed out. My friend Trevor (no not that Trevor) threw his back out, supposedly.

Well It don't matter that much to me with the fireworks. Come prepared to go and then we'll talk about options. My kids aren't fired up to see them or anything... We can easily forget about it.

Kathy said maybe we could all pile into the van (just a matter of transferreing Lauren's seat into the back) and park on the St.B side and watch them....talk about wussin out :LOL:

It'll be a little squished in the back row but should be okay.

I'll just leave TTP if it bothers me that bad.

For the record, Gordon brought up your avatar Bing. I didn't say I liked it, but I didn't say it was that bad motion wise either. Am I not entitled to have a personal opinion about it? Had I asked you to take it down?

Also for the record, had what's his name come back posting here, that dancing crap would have been hitting the highway too. If and when he does, you can bank on it. That sort of thing is cool for 5 minutes, then it's just annoying as hell, just like pop up flashers.

I could just do like Mike Knapp and say either it's your picture or nothing. Maybe that would be best. Andrew, is that not what he told you about your daughter's picture? I thought that was pretty crappy, you can't even have your daughter's pic up.

Also for the record, we hold our advertisers to minimal flashing, for YOUR benefit. Is it not fair for us to ask the same of you, the members?

Now I have said all I am saying about this today.

Lex

Yes but i didn't have a problem with it really so long as the rules are clear i don't mind playing by them.

As for the avatars I tend to agree with Lex that the really animated ones are distracting but Bings was fine with me. If we wanted I guess we could limit it to jpgs only no gifs allowed...might help with load times as well as animated gifs can be fairly large.

OK,,No more talk about Avatar's.

Let's just get along like the Adults we are.
Besides, it's almost 2004. Lot's to celebrate.
Time to reflect 2003..:yesnod:
Maybe plan a TTP meet for the new year!
We could Tatoo our Avatars to our foreheads for identification. :P
Did I just say that!!

Hi, Guys! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/a/wavey.gif

Disappointing to read this avatar business. I'll keep my opinions confined here to TTP, though so the rest of the board isn't seeing us squabble. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/boxing.gif http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/duel.gif http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/_950/fencing.gif

E, I don't know what you're talking about with the snow, it's 65 degrees and :sn: here... just kidding. It's been snowy and http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/l/loki.gif here today. Jen and I left the house in the BMW this morning to go for a hospital checkup. Got outside of our subdivision and got blocked in by a big accident and cars all over the road going down a big icy hill. I stopped before I got to the wrecked cars, but couldn't back up with the ice. So I sat for a while and finally some guys helped push us back. http://www.stopstart.freeserve.co.uk/smilie/cold.gif Went home, swapped cars to our Jeep Grand Cherokee, chose a different route, and finally got to the hospital 2 hours later. Thank goodness Jen wasn't going into labor! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/2/nervous.gif

Speaking of, we keep getting teased! First it was a bunch of contractions, then it was the now-infamous Mucus Plug, then today we thought her water might be leaking. (it's not) But they did something today, saying that we can be back in any minute now for the real thing. I don't know if I can take much more of this pressure. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k0/smashfreak.gif http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k/squeeze.gif

Pr@, I'm quite bummed to hear about your DAC. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/q/bawling.gif You must have really been looking forward to that. Well, at least you might end up with the final result of even better equipment if you're thinking of the Denon 2900 or higher!

Speaking of, guys, there is that Denon DVD-2900 on sale here at my local Good Guys for $799. Comes with manual, remote, etc. Silver. I'd be happy to pick it up (keep it, try it out, etc http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/giggles.gif ) if anyone wants it.

As far as the Denon DVD-5900, it retails for $2000 US. I'm hearing a few people are finding a little bit better price out there.http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/b0/deal.gif

Happy New Year's, Everyone! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/i/partytime.gif http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/i/partysmiley.gif A TTP meet would be most excellent in 2004.

And we're back!

Had a good morning with Erik and Jeff Aguilar doing some critical testing of Jeff's new tube amp. Beautiful piece of equipment. On certain songs we heard, especially Norah Jones, it really broadened the sound field. Brought out the mid-range sounds. We've officially certified ourselves as the "TTP Test Group", so by regulation all new equipment by TTP members must first be checked out by the three of us. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/biggrinclarifils.gif

I'm pretty stoked, as I just saw information on Parasound's new DVD players in DVD Etc. I think we're going to see several new groovy pieces of equipment from manufacturers at CES, including several DVD players. Can't wait till next week! http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/k/turn.gif

Well, since I've had a cold/flu type bug, I stopped pretty much with the hard work, sat down last night, and though it was drudgery at times, entered most of my DVD collection in dvd profiler while watching football. Solid software, easy to use for the most part, and quick to upload to the net.

I'm "Cable Guy", since lex was taken.

http://www.dvdprofiler.com/mycollection.asp?alias=Cable%20Guy Most box sets are not entered individually, so the actual number of discs is some higher.

Been playing Need for Speed Underground too and having fun with it. Solid game. Xbox, on PJ. It's big, and it's awesome!

Watched a budget 5.99 Walmart special movie last night. It had quite a star studded cast really. The real star was Liv Tyler. :drool: I bought it purely on the cast. Liv, Michael Douglas, John Goodman, Reba (small part), I think one of the guys from Something about Mary, if I am not mistaken. Liv was delicious. ;) Not profiled yet.

When Lauren is older, we'll do some more outdoor stuff because despite the cold, I think the kids were ready to have some fun outside. We'll do it again sometime. Now that there's a good base, maybe I'll get you guys out to my folks cottage for some snowmobiling :D

I think mine is just a weird bug. I fought it off once before, but this time it got me down. I felt bad, but not quite like it was the flu. Do take care Chris, those things can be bad. At least your in fine physical shape, should help you fight it off.

Strangely, my team lead was complaining of a swollen lymph gland or two, even went to the dr. Within a week later I had the same thing happen. It went back down, but then popped up again before this bug set in last weekend.

Gordon, nice mugshot of you in your avatar. Now if you could just animate it with lots of motion. :LOL: I'm kidding. :)

Thanks on the stuff guys. I did come out of the gates this year, or slammed the door shut on last year, you pick. Yes, it's a Samsung DVD-HD1000. I had that wrote in the first post, went to get a graphic and winblows went bazerk on me. I lost the post. :evil:

Man, the body styling on that vette is reminding me more and more of the Acura NSX.

Doug: :banana: on the new DVD player. Make sure you let us know how it turns out.

Doc says I have a standard respiratory virus going around. Nothing can cure it, just treat the symptoms. I knew it... that's why I didn't bother going to the doc for 5 days. But after that time, with me still not better, I wanted to make sure it wasn't something more serious. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/y0/ill.gif

Trev: Yeah, I watched a news brief on the new Vette. Looks cool... 400hp!!! The new TTP-mobile?

All: Here's a question that I hope one of you can help me answer: I have a dial-up connection, and work with multiple Internet Explorer windows open at once. I'll load a webpage on one window while I work on another. I HATE HATE HATE it when the one loading repeatedly "pops up" as there is progress on the webpage load. It is quite annoying, and it has several times popped up just as I'm clicking on something, causing me to close the wrong window or click on the wrong thing. HOW DO I DISABLE THIS SO-CALLED "FEATURE"???

Sorry!!

Gordon,,You just can't compare the new C6 to anything else.
It's still a Corvette and a very nice one at that!
I am going to wait until 2006 when the replacement Z06 version is available. It's supposed to feature 500 HP..:E
Anyways, I really like the new C6 and do feel the C5 looks outdated when comparing..
I won't upgrade yet , like I said..However unless I pull a Trevor.. :P :P :P
Oops..Tracey it was an accident when I decided to buy it!! ;)

Canada's a big country Doug...my parents were saying its going to almost 60 degrees there tomorrow. Unfortunalty our weather has turned cold quickly having being spoilt during christmas:(

Trevor I'd take a lotus over a vette any day...sure the vette might be faster but the handleing of the lotus will more then make up for it...besides I've only ever seen one lotus around here...I see vettes nearly every day in summer:)

Gordon and Andrew - Great pictures. But I'm not convince its really you guys (<-My NJ side showing :P )

Trev - I'm digging the new Vette. I like the lights on the C6 but the grill reminds me of the Camero. I wasn't impressed with the Chevy commercial.

Chris - hope you feel better buddy. Will you be allowed in the delivery room if your sick?

Good Morning Everyone!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I know I'm a little late but I couldn't sign on yesterday and we were really busy at work today.

I worked on the HT room all New Year's Eve day and most of the day New Year's Day. I'm about to rap up the painting this weekend hopefully and then it's carpet time. Getting ever so close!


Lex... impressive start to 2004 with all the flip toys. I'm a little confused about the Iscan. I thought it converted 480i to 480p. Your new DVD player upconverts 480i to 720p or 1080i. So what is the Iscan for?

Oh btw Lex... I forgot to tell ya that they shipped you a 1HD instead of a 2HD. I'll try to get on that in the next few weeks to get it straightened out. For some reason they shipped me another 2HD though. Hmmmm... yeah... you know I'm j/k. hee hee Not funny huh? :P :P :P

Chris, sounds like you really got a case of the crud. Hope you get to feelin' mo betta real soon buddy.


Okay... since we are using our own pic for avatars I figured I'd participate for a while.

Trev, For me Porsche still beats the vette on looks. I would suspect on cornering....but you win the HP department. Just my opinion. Not that I'll ever have the cash to own a porsche but I can dream just like the next guy. ;)

Andrew, the DVDO Iscan got here yesterday. I've got to build a VGA breakout cable to use it though, lol. I had two VGA connectors here somewhere, but seem to have misplaced them. So, I am considering cutting up a VGA cable, and try to adapt it. I've got the pin configuration now, so it's a possibility.

I've also got a RGB Sinc cable to build first though, so not sure when I will get mine done. I've lacked energy and motivation since getting sick this week. i'd planned to work some today, but as yet haven't.

The PJ is still showing as left Portland Or. I guess it's on a truck someplace. Dunno where.

The DVD player is waiting on my Echeck to clear via paypal to ship.

[Gordon Moore]

Gord how's your back from shoveling?

When you have a driveway as long as I do....you use the snowblower :twisted: . The drifts looked the same at my place. :cry:

Normally I shovel and save the snowblower for the bad stuff...but Kathy had an appointment to make this morning so I had to haul it out....it needed to be run anyway. Then I did the sidewalk for the street since I walk up to the bus on Monday and my neighbors ain't in to shoveling the sidewalk. Fine by me....I say snowblowers were meant to be used. It's too much fun to be considered work. 8)

Lucky bastard. Between my driveway, the path around the house and both sidewalks there's a lot to shovel.

Great pics, Trev. I guess Stacy would account for the price increase of the new Vette model. And that's got to be the only car I know of that simultaneously runs at 0mph and 200mph, 800rpm and 7500rpm, a full tank of gas and empty. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/r/goofy.gif

Gord, I agree. The Porsche 911 body style is beautiful, especially when you add the right body effects. There's an Aero body kit that you can order with your Porsche for $7,000 extra I think that is just stunning with a high rear spoiler.

Still snowing here today. http://smilies.sofrayt.com/%5E/x0/snowman.gif

Was that you?

You gotta love living in Winnipeg.

It's the only place where in the middle of a blizzard, with -40 temperatures - you can walk into 7-11, buy a mondo sized Slurpee and no one thinks your strange.

[Glen]

Hey Andrew.

I can see my old junior high school in your pictures (O.K., so its been about 20 years since I went there). I drive past your house everyday.

[Eduardo]

You guys are cooking on TTP. I guess with all that snow you stay in and work from home? Like Lex, the weather here is un-seasonably WARM. it was in the mid 70's 8O . I like warm weather but I also want to get some snow.

Trev - Love the flip pic of Stacey Keibler. If there were any other pictures I didn't notic them. ;) About the Chevy commercial, I just think it could have been better. The blame should fall on the advertising company and not Chevy. :huh: I did see the new SSR truck with the top down today. Very cool but for 41k :nono:

Gordon - the Porche is so SWEET. I need to move to a state that has a lottery. Maybe then I could have a chance of actually owning one. My family use to have a snow blower when I was growing up in New Jersey. The snow mounds mad awesome forts for snowball fights. As I got older, snowball fights turned to firework fights. We'd shot bottle rockets and roman candles at each other :crazy: .

Andrew - 8O wow thats a lot of snow. Good clean up job. :T

Well, if you can afford the Porsche, what's 7K more?

So true. :yesnod:

Yeah, pretty good, the Titans are alive. I'm for them unless they are playing Payton Manning. He's the guy I like most in the pros. I don't pull for him because of the colts, I pull for him because he was the best QB Tennessee ever had, and he was a UT guy through and through.

Trevor, nice Vette pics. It's still not my cup o java. But it will be interesting to see them. I'm not real hip on the interior myself. But I can see some areas of upgrade. Though I liked my instrument panel better.

Got the DVDO Iscan hooked up. Since I couldn't find my VGA connectors, I just cut a VGA cable up, and used one end. Saved me having to solder the VGA end. Just pull out the red,green, blue, put RCAs on, and I was good to go. Works pretty darn well too. I'm happy about it.

Lex

[Gordon Moore]

Nope Ben, sorry, it wasn't me.

You'd be more likely to see me at the Safeway on Henderson and Kimberly. I stayed around the house all day today. It's amazing how much fun kids will have sliding on a hill no bigger than 3 ft high.

How many Winnipeggers are on the guide now? Pretty soon we'll be able to enter a team at the company softball tournament ;)

Welp, I got some more work done on the theater today. Also installed the security camera/baby monitor, and put up my old 27" TV on a wall mount in the corner of my rec room. Looks awesome. Now people can watch the show at the bar while getting drinks, taking a break from the movie, or on the way to the bathroom. :D

More work tomorrow, baby allowing.

So this morning it's a balmy -28.8C but with the wind it warms up to -40C. So much for wearing shorts and a tee today :LOL:

Good Morning TTP gang and Winnipeg! :P
Another reason to head out that way.
If I wanted, in a snap of my fingers be transfered
there. I have already been asked.

Andrew,,I waqs going to pass on SeaBiscuit..Just didn't seem like a movie
I could get into ,,Tracey hasn't said anything about it though.
We rented Bruce Almighty last night..Good comedy, not a DVD I would buy though.
Also watched the DVD with Mandy Moore in it..Can't remember the name.
Anywyas, it was lame.
How is the 1 HD,,Are you going to upgrade to the 2 HD?

About the Chevy commercial, I just think it could have been better. The blame should fall on the advertising company and not Chevy. I did see the new SSR truck with the top down today. Very cool but for 41k

Eduardo,,I thought that was the best car commercial I have ever seen.
A great introduction to the Vette and the debut of 4 other new Chev vehicles.driving onto the car carrier..Classic!! I love Chevy's!! :yesnod:
Yes, I agree that 40K usd is pricey for the SSR. I think the foldable down hardtop is what jacks up the price a considerable amount.

Lex,,It will likely grow on you.
It has on me. I won't be lining up to get one though.
I still prefer the front end view of the C5 over the front end view of the C6.
The back end of the C6 is nicer than the C5 I am thinking.

Trevor come on out to winnipeg...its where all rest of the TTP guys are so might as well join us:) To that end if we're going to have a get together we've now got a pile of use up here in the great white north. I know my igloo's a little small for all of you but maybe we could all stay at gord's cabin in the whiteshell park...its beautiful there:)

Trevor I really like my 1HD and it still impresses me how vivid the colours are on some DVD's. I'd love to upgrade but really I see myself living with this one for some time...I have considered tweaking the screen though with a new DIY concept that's being hyped lately (it involves painting plexiglass)

As for seabuscuit I'd say rent it anyway its not a fast paced movie (well some parts obviously are) but still a very good true story.

Uh no, it's not. We are all over.

I'm sure the C6 will be a nice car Trevor. It will be different than what we are used to seeing, but I guess it should be some different. Otherwise, it's a C5. :) Mostly, I just think Chev could take a few lessons on interior appointments from high end imports like my BMW. I'm sorry to say, the upgrades just don't get it there.

I don't think I've seen the Chev commercial.

I watched Serving Sara and Conspiracy Theory last night on my new DVDO Iscan connection. :T Nothing new movie wise.

I present you the new CHEVY VIDEO
Click below and when the Chevy page appears click on the MULTIMEDIA section. You can then view the 2 minute video..


http://www.chevrolet.com/corvette/gallery.htm

Neat thing about this video, is when I had posted the picture of the new C6 riding on a car carrier. Well, that picture was taken by somebody who happened to be in Downtown Sanfrancisco while they were filming the video. He was able to snap a few shots with his digital. He put them up on the net , which ultimately ruined the planned first unvailing of the C6 planned for January 5th in Los Angeles or Detriot, can't remember which one.
Anyways, talking about being at the right place at the right time and a member of the Corvette Forum.. :P

This is the one I had posted..
It was the first ever available picture of the C6 to be seen by the public.
http://thecarconnection.com/images/gallery/7503_image.jpg
It's funny how when the guy first put the photo up , everybody was crying hoax..Definately not the case.
He was even trying to explain that it looked like they were filming a commercial down the street.

Mats - I sorry I didn't say this early but - HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! How the new job?

Tomorrow is the first "official" day at the new company. Hope it will survive a few months so I can put some hooks out looking for a new :)
It's sort of a bit Risky Business since it's a new company, started up from the broken parts of the old that went belly up...
Lot's of costs at start with machines, new office, telephone switch etc etc.
Then again... if done correct it can succeed... LET'S HOPE SO!!!

Yeah, I saw it now. Solid commercial. That new retro truck is pretty wild looking.

lex

[Gordon Moore]

Well I have to admit Trev, from that angle and that particular paint scheme it does look pretty sharp from the side. Not too crazy on the front FX though.

I have a little guy on dry toast and 7-up today. Somethings not agreeing with him...but it's not slowing him down either, which is good for now.

Trevor, have you been playing with that 2HD yet or has it been sitting there? You must have a free wall somewhere.

Are you ceiling mounting that projector or running it from a coffee table? Just curious since I think your room is more multi-functional than dedicated (say like Andrews), at least from what I gathered from pictures. What will you use for everyday viewing? regular broadcast (even Sat) SDTV doesn't look so great blown up (I wonder if a HTPC with filters might clean that up...say through DScaler)...any hoo...what's the scoop?




"A RONSTER!"

[Lex]

Maybe Trevor should do what I did, get a small Plasma or LCD for standard old TV. The bad thing is, they cost more than the projector. But I hope will last a lot longer than a pj. I hope. Sometimes I run the PJ for TV, but not that often now. Usually just run the Plasma 32".
My viewing distance is no more than 4 feet or so though, so the image still seems big from there. With Satellite component feed, it's fairly good quality as well.

Anybody seen a good quality component splitter amplifier? Curious.

Lex

[Lex]

Yeah, I agree, it's growing on me some. However, I still think that side vent line is to choppy. It doesn't flow with the rest of the car, IMO. I think they need to soften that.

Hey, guys... Seattle's down by a touchdown right now. Let's see if they can pull it off!

Still sick but better. I rested most of last week and didn't get much of anything done around the house or theater. Trying to get at least some stuff done this weekend.

I think some people are using an AV switch from radio shack of all places. Its supposed to be video plus stereo audio but they're all stright swiches so it works just fine for component...and they're cheap too.

Just finished the League of extrodianary gents....I give it a C- at best...it was ok I guess but even sean connery couldn't make this a good movie.

Hey Gordon,,
I haven't set it up yet. Waiting for the screen and my one week vacation to do it.
I may be off for a week starting this upcoming Saturday, or the week after. It hasn't been confirmed yet.
I will be calling AVDeals tomorrow to get updated on the status of my screen. I think they were closed for the Christmas season as I could not make contact with them last week.
Once set-up it will be ceiling mounted. I have the mount kit already.
We decided that this would be strictly for Movies,,so the room will become our Movie room.
The upstairs family room will become our TV room and I will be moving the HD satelitte receiver upstairs. We have a 42" Toshiba RPTV which we bought last year in this room with the Marantz SR-8200 receiver and Paradigm Studio Reference speakers as well.
The 42" Tosh will play back 720P I believe as the 61" doesn't.
If the 42" doesn't then it's gone.
Also, we just installed satellite into the bedroom , so for those tired days or before going to bed TV watching. This we have the Panny Tau 24", However , this is where the 42" or 37" LCD would be a perfect fit as Lex had mentioned. I wouldn't go with Plasma yet..The Sharp Aquous LCD are very Sweet though.

Yeah, I agree, it's growing on me some. However, I still think that side vent line is to choppy. It doesn't flow with the rest of the car, IMO. I think they need to soften that.
Lex,,I am getting used to them,,They do look to much like the Porsche Cearra GT though..
Anyways Lex,,You might look Freeking good in a new Vette.. :P

Chris,,Update me on the Due Date.??Dec 27th right?.

Well, Love the 3 XBOX games I have been playing..
Gotham Racing 2, Need for Speed underground(Hellafast!)
and a real cool adventure Prince of Persia is awesome..even though I am a little stuck right now.
Running up the walls is a blast though..and the matrix like fighting is defiantely the biz!! :yesnod:

I think I am sticking with my 330ci Trev. I love the car.

No to plasma? Well, be that way. I tried LCD in the Panny, but really like the Plasma better than I did it. The Panny I got had a problem anyway, so it went back. Good thing too, as with FP, I didn't have room for a 50".

Why move the TV room Trev? If you like it down there, keep it, just use the PJ. That's what your getting it for, isn't it?

We got both those games for Christmas Trev. We started with Gotham 2, but went to NFS underground, and I haven't taken it out since. I think I'm at level 16. The races are getting VERY fast at that level. I've got Turbo, but no NOS yet. I just beat the race now where you had to buy more stuff to get your "reputation multiplier" up before you could even enter the race. You there yet?

[Lex]

I found this for video switching, but it's 450, a little pricey. One thing I like is, it's remote control compatible. I'd rather pay more for remote capability than go with manual.

Hey Lex,,No , I haven't gotten that far. Been playing Gotham more.
Prince of Persia, will likely eat up a lot of my holiday time.
I sure love the racing games though.

Lex,,The down stairs was rarely used for TV anyways.
Although we had the option to use it for TV too.
This way we have two seperated rooms with two different purposes.
I was getting annoyed at having rooms were we don't use.
So 4:3 for Hi-Def TV upstairs and 16:9 for Movies downstairs.

Here are some pics of the upstairs I just took.
The black entertainment unit , I just finished last week.

Lex,
the Zektor HDS4.2 is the jazzed up version of the HDS4 (Which I'm using)
The 4.2 allows the same features of the HDS4 including programmable learning, so it will switch inputs to correspond with the IR signnal to switch your audio sources 4 seperate component video inputs (which can be used as RGB H V for five wire video - assuming you don't need an analog left/right audio pair, you just use it's L/R for H/V imstead), also coax digital to toslink optical conversion both ways and discrete power on and off. but as it is an upgrade from the HDS4, you also get manual front panel switching, RS-232 control capability and a second set of video outputs, albeit the second set of outputs aren't selected via "dry contact relay arangement", they use an amplified op-amp type of output, so there could be a slight (very slight) bit of video degradation present at the .2 outputs.
These zector units are absolutely phenominal units, once you set them up and teach them to follow the same commands that you use to select any input switching on your video receiver or AV Pre/Pro and then just watch the little unit just disappear into your entertainment system :D
