Engadget HD reports:
While the rest of us wait for the mythical DirecTV Windows Media Center tuner, some are apparently lucky enough to be a part of the beta program to test the HDPC-20.
About time. This was announced in January 2006, fer cryin’ out loud.
I gave up on DirecTV two months ago in favor of a dual-CableCARD system with Comcast, so I’m not likely to get an invite. Of course, the dish is still installed on my roof, and reconnecting it wouldn’t be too difficult…
I mean, it’s not like anyone would actually want to compare the cable and satellite alternatives side by side, would they?
Try TVersity, though I couldn’t get it to be seen by my DirecTV HD21 however Orb worked like a charm.
Remember that the DirecTV Media Center is still Beta.
Subscribers to cable are like, well subscribers to AOL.
I enjoyed your Sep 2003 article on CD Burning and you asked what to do with the several floppies you have lying about. That’s an easy one. Format them with FreeDOS and use them to remove those files that report “Cannot delete this file because it is being used by Windows” files that your anti spyware and malware programs report as being “fixed” though of course they never are.
