Are you planning on fixing Robert/Veronica's camera? There is clearly an issue with this! I'm not sure if you've noticed!

Yep, we're aware of it, but it's a bit complicated/expensive/time consuming to fix. We have to figure out the best to way to go about repairing it. Bear with us!

I thought I was going crazy the last few weeks lol. I was like "Why is there a slight green glow from that camera .. " I was thinking there was something wrong with my TV.

This may be a dumb question and may be misplaced, so let me know if i'm doing this wrong, haha. I work for a large cable provider which shall at this point remain nameless and we have for a while now been issuing the 'Tuning adapters' necessary for cable card users to view switched digital channels. I was wondering if Robert had happened to have picked up one of these when he had his cable card installed by his provider, or if he's perhaps lucky enough to not need one, just looking for an idea of how well the Ceton card works when run through the tuning adapter. Thanks.

I noticed the camera problem thing too. Roberts' cam has that green ghosting thing. Under his hair line, glasses, nose and mouth.

Anyway, the question about static and being prone to it. Have you guys heard of people referred to as SLIders? Mostly affecting street lights. "Street Light Interference".

I am one. I walk through a parking lot and the lights cut out when I am in range. 20 to 50 yards. When I used to go out with my brothers they would walk about 50 yards ahead of me, back to the car, as the street lights would shut off as I walked down the street. Have you ever heard of this?

Which Atom motherboard or barebones is Robert using with his Ceton?

Looking for my own low power solution.

answering question on wave files:



Most WAV files are only a tiny header followed by PCM data until the end of the file.

Use of a container format such as Matroska may allow meta data to be added while the original uncompressed PCM is kept in tact. Matroska still needs to be streamed with something like TVersity or PS3 Media Server but should be able to use the metadata and other container formats may be natively supported on the PS3.

Then your the exception to the rule. I live in Atlanta , GA one of the largest cities in the US and have access to 2 ISPs (Comcast and Uverse).

Also are you taking into consideration that just be cause the offer service in your city they might not service your neighborhood? There are dozens of ISPs in Atlanta but only 2 offer service to my apartment.
