I don't really watch sports. I've not had a Fox Sports network until 2 months ago. And they don't show Houston Astro's games, but they do show Star's games (though not in HD all the time so I don't usually watch them). I do watch NASCAR when it's on Fox, so that's over the air. I also have the MLB Extra Innings app on my iPhone so I can stay up on the league.
I only watch the Superbowl, and the UT vs A&M game. 8 years of football kind of bored me out of the game.
I read all of my tech news, but I'm with you on Tekzilla focusing more on Tech News. They have SYSTM for hacking and modding, and mucking with stuff. Diggnation is sort of a news show, but I don't like Kevin Rose on camera. And when he's drunk it's even worse. It also brings out the worst in Alex A.
I've played around a bit with Boxee. I'm dual booting Ubuntu and Vista on my tower so I get the best of the Boxee service and Windows Media Center. There is a plugin a guy is working on for WMC that uses Hulu, and will hopefully allow for streaming to an extender, I don't really want to buy a long VGA or DVI-to-HDMI cable to run to my TV. I'm all about the couch.
I somehow knew you'd be the only person to reply to my post.
Well after I made that post from my laptop, I went and put out the fire in my kitchen. Luckily I love extra crispy bacon, so it was still good! Hooray for bacon!
I'm pretty sure "Blink" is the best episode of Who. I'm also pretty sure showing that episode to anyone outside of the Whovian society would get them interested in the show. I'm going to give Catherine Tate more time to grow on me. I know Who is for the younger folks, but I think they are bringing in too much from "The Sarah Jane Adventures" which was pure kid TV (though I enjoyed it).
I think you'll like Torchwood. Give it more than the first 3 episodes, it takes a bit before it hits its stride. Then get into season 2, it's awesome.
After reading reviews on Amazon, and seeing pictures of how they packaged the HD BSG I went ahead with the normal DVDs. I prefer the slim jewel cases more to fold out cardboard with glued on plastic nubbins, especially sense HD DVDs scratch easier.
A BluRay Firefly would be interesting. I'd get it if it was $30, but knowing Sony/Fox it's be $60-70. The Stargates are also rumored to come out in BluRay. Atlantis would look good in HD, but the first 6 years of SG1 wouldn't look so hot. But they look just fine upconverted.
I missed the stream, wouldn't have done me anygood anyway. My net connection is crap.
I've hit near BSG overload. Watched the first 3 seasons the last 4 days in order to refresh myself for tonight. Some of them with the commentary track, especially the last two (Crossroads part 1 & 2). I really hope RDM does them again.
I don't have Razor on DVD. I'd thought they would have put it out on HD DVD, but then the format war ended, and I'd already spent too much money. It was more of a one-shot anyway. A phenomenal one-shot, but not really part of the main story.
