I stopped shopping at a local grocery store chain when they stopped staying open 24 hours and now close at midnight. I won't support that kind of behavior either. ;)

It's hardly one store we're talking about, hardly a "her store" (or "his store") situation. But we've been through all this in this thread; no need to repeat it. I tolerate them. I don't care that they exist. I won't patronize them. I don't expect everyone to visit Gay Day at Disney. I expect that people tolerate that it exists and leave us be if they don't want to be part of it.quote:

Tolerance is a two way street.
I am *not* gonna start keeping track of that. ;)quote:

Use a photo editing program to crop out a square then to resample it to the specific resolution you want, then save it as a JPG or GIF. Your camera probably came with something that allows at least a limited amount of this sort of thing; if not you may have a photo editor or a paint program that came with Windows or another product. Or you can find some freeware/shareware things online that'll let you do that. I generally use Adobe Photoshop when working with images.quote:

With modern golf technology, I can still hit the ball about as far as I could when I was younger (now 51). I just bought a new driver a friend made for me, these things are getting hotter and hotter, the ball jumps off the club head. Hit one drive yesterday on one hole that was as far, or further, than I have ever hit on that hole before.

CBS network is available via D*. My local Fox is not an O&O station, so they won't be available via D* for a long time.
So, until D* starts beaming the local HD signals (or picks up more network feeds), I am the mercy of Comcast, which shows no sign of deploying the Moto 6208 (with it's absurdly small hard drive).

I prefer electronic documentation and PDF works as well as any for me, I too have a laptop, but it has a decent display.

I did print one page, that back panel picture so I could refer to it while reading the descriptions, some diagrams arn't too clear unless magnified a bit.quote:

Is that analog or digital reception? The reception characteristics of analog vs digital is supposed to be quite different, I hope to find out for real very soon. The digital stations are on different frequencies. Though I'd expect you to still have trouble with NBC, its an under powered transmitter on the other side of me, even further from you. That's what happens when the network has a fight with the established station and jumps to a small local not ready for being in a national network.quote:

For me I can't get a usable signal for FOX, but its channel 2 right at the bottom of VHF. Their digital station is channel 56, I get plenty of analog stations around the 50s.

And, I probably won't print it. Using Acroread 6, the visual image of the manual is as good or better than a printed version. I've not had problems with PDFs for years, so I'm interested in what could be going wrong in viewing it online. (Now, I am using Win XP Pro and Acroread 6, but that shouldn't really matter...)

If I don't patronize a store because the owner is gay, and I express my sentiments about it, I get bashed as homophobic, but you say the same thing but subsituting religious for gay, and it's ok.
Try this on for size...
I won't eat at a Chick-fil-a because their owner is gay and they hire gays to work at their stores on Sundays. Gay is a condiment I don't want served on my sandwich.
Seems to me you are the one who is close minded why asking everyone else to be open minded.

I have been playing the Biggest Betha, 49 inches, for the past five years or so, maybe four, well...whenever they first came out. I love the driver but all my buddies were buying this superhot club. I just searched and found this link to the info for the club:
http://www.alphagolfclubs.com/C830_2_TI_DRIVER.aspx
460 cc head, wow, BIG! I was told this is going to be the max according to the USGA. My shaft is too whippy, so I am having him get an extra stiff instead of stiff. No doubt at all that this thing comes off hot. My mis-hits, which were almost every shot yesterday, were as long as my regualr hits, but I was pushing the shots due to the shaft flexibility. It is worth a look for anyone wanting to try a new driver. John Daly is suppose to start playing this club also. The size of the head is no problem for me, I like large faced clubs, but I am very good with hitting a driver off the fairway and have not tried this one yet. I'd hate to lose the ability to hit a driver off the fairway, as it brings par fives into reach if 270 years or closer after my drive.... when I hit it well. I'd gues yesterday, on hole five, a 415 yard dogleg right, I hit the driver just a tad over 300 with not much roll. My Biggest Bertha is good for about 280 when I nut it!

Briefly (as this is not really a golf forum...) - is there any disadvantage to those huge club faces, aside from not being able to hit it off a fairway? It would seem the larger the sweet spot, the better.

What sort of whining did you do when you called D* to complain about the antenna on the HD deal and did you call a regular CSR or retention? I have to do the same thing as they told me I couldn't get the antenna when I signed up for the deal.
Thanks
I like activating online just because I don't have to talk to someone. I don't need to waste their time doing something I can do alone. I won't know how long I have to spend waiting to do it until I'm waiting to do it on a call. But online, I just go to a web page, enter a couple pieces of info, clikc OK, and am done. Now sometimes you get a chatty CSR who's rather fun to talk with; sometimes I'm in a mood to deal with that sort of thing and actually enjoy it.quote:

This IS how TiVo's guide is arranged. You select a title then go view upcoming showings. It lists it by date, then time. When I have some free time (before this thread existed) I would start at the top of the movie list and go down alphabetically. If I saw a movie I was interested in I would investigate further. I'm not a big fan of DirecTV's guide. TiVo's is much easier to use IMHO.

It's going to be left the same as whatever you had last told him to do. It's actually somewhere in this thread he said that. What happened was a significant number of orders changed to UPS Ground from Next Day Air when the units were going to be shipped from California. So when that changed again, he sent that email assuming people would end up wanting to change back, but a number of people suggested to him that really was a bad idea because of the cost differences and it's better to just have them say if they wanted to change shipping than to assume anything.quote:

Robert & Others: I'm a little confused about the shipping option...In Robert's latest e-mail, he indicated that he would assume us Californians would want overnight and that we would need to FAX an ammended purchase agreement to change that. In this thread he's now saying he's going to leave the current shipping option alone? Which is it?

I've been spending the spare time I have with my children. By way of apology to my 5-year old for my recent work shchedule, we had "Allison Day". Anything she wanted to do with Daddy all day long. Pancakes and eggs at a local restaurant for breakfast; a trip to the Museum of Natural History; a milkshake; a dinosaur movie in the basement theater; dinner at her favorite restaurant; time on the playground; and two trips on a vintage carousel. As much as I love you guys, it was an easy choice. :)

No, actually. The corporate entity refuses to allow the store to serve me a chicken sandwich on Sunday even if the store would like to do so. That's my beef. The corporate entity justifies this based on religious reasons. I normally do not associate chicken sandwiches with religion.quote:

Roy Rogers became my favorite; burgers served plain, you decorate them with your choice of condiments at their Fixin's Bar. Yummier though was the fried chicken. :D
I hear there's even people who hate lima beans, brussels sprouts and okra! Sacrilege to not buy them and support their growers!

Don :)
White Castle used to (and maybe still does) sell them for next-day delivery via telephone order. I'm pretty sure they'd pack them frozen though, just like what you now find distributed in stores nationwide, so there's a good chance they stopped the phone order sales since there's little need for that now.quote:

If you offered this sort of thing for same day delivery, it might not increase your sales, but it might generate some demand for same-day delivery service if they also can get White Castles with their HR10-250, so you could still profit from it and differentiate yourself even further in a crowded DirecTV reseller marketplace. ;)quote:

However, I believe you may have a good idea here. How about a $50.00 VE gift certificate. As I interpret DIRECTV's new HD STB MAP policy I can give a gift with purchase with a value of no more than $50.00. My gift for avs/TC members with $100.00 deposits on advance orders will be a VE $50.00 gift certificate.
Having been a frequent buyer of Garmin products that have similar MAP stipulations I've seen some interesting ways to circumvent this. One site has you click on an "email us for the price" button, when you do it puts together an email and in the body of the email it tells you what the price is and you need not even bother sending in the email.quote:
Strange, even if it's a MAP, can't you just have people "call" for a better price?

1. You can set up your address for pre-release.
2. You can leave a note with your signature on your door.
3. You can leave alternate delivery information - neighbor, etc.
Keep in mind the SHIPPER has the right to: not allow release without signature, not allow changes to delivery address, and require the named receipient to sign (no third parties.)

Just like with multiple HDVR2s. Which is why I put code sets 1 and 2 in the pronto. Any TiVo responds to codeset zero, which I didn't appreciate before I started this.quote:

So what, maybe he did get a beta unit, a prototype, or a box used for internal testing. Why do you care? He said he paid full price so it's not like he broke into DirecTV headquarters and grabbed it of some technician's workbench. Even if he did, don't worry - it's not coming out of VE's allocation so your precious order won't be delayed.

It's not the end of the world that he got his HD box before you got yours.

So what, maybe he did get a beta unit, a prototype, or a box used for internal testing. Why do you care? He said he paid full price so it's not like he broke into DirecTV headquarters and grabbed it of some technician's workbench. Even if he did, don't worry - it's not coming out of VE's allocation so your precious order won't be delayed.
I'd reiterating my request that you people start acting like adults. Just because you're a bunch of tivo fanboys doesn't mean that you are better connected than anyone else. In fact, your obsessive attitudes and egotistical behaviors are probably what got you excluded from the beta program in the first place. Quit attacking the poor guy already. It's not the end of the world that he got his HD box before you got yours.

I guess we will all know for sure when the smoke clears, but as of 9:15am PST I am not sorry I ordered from them.

On 3/30/2004 we were informed that DirecTV made a midnight-hour change thus delaying production by another week. They further announced they will penalize dealers selling the unit below $999.99, so effective Sunday 4/4/2004 no more orders can be taken below $999.99 (those placed prior to this under the AVSForum/TiVo Community discounts Value Electronics offered are NOT affected and will receive the discount). Shipment of the first 200 units should occur next week.
On 4/1/2004 Robert told us the first 200 units will ship to buyers on 4/6/2004 and that those buyers' credit cards would now be charged for the balance remaining.
On 4/3/2004 Robert clarified a few things (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-v...102#post1851102):
quote:
No one is sorrier than I regarding the inaccuracy of the actual amount of orders my company booked compared to the quantity I posted.
The good news is that I will be geitting 450 HR10-250's in my first two allocations to help accommodate the avs/TC customers who placed orders thinking they were within the first 350.
We are also receiving 400 HR10-250's weekly or bi-weekly from the end of April through May '04.
Regarding my most recent email suggesting we adjust the orders to overnight delivery was based on the the change in the FOB destination being the east coast and almost all west coast customers changed from overnight to ground when we first thought the FOB point was CA and who now want to go back to overnight delivery.
I quickly agreed to leave things as they are because of member requests. I am truly only trying to provide excellent service and the enormous volume of orders which have been changing delivery address, credit card numbers, expiration dates, selling positions, switching positions, upgrading and downgrading shipping methods, changing FOB distribution locations, changing scheduled delivery date and quantities is extremely challenging. I personally receive hundreds of emails and calls daily. Additionally, my company processes hundreds of calls, email and faxes daily.
We are dedicated to provide the highest level of customer service and technical quality advice as we set our standards very high I and my staff are taking all of this enormous volume of work in stride and keeping up with all of the changing details and facts exceptionally well.
Please do not hesitate to contact us any way you prefer, fax, email or phone. Don't stop providing information to help us deliver every order exactly as you want us to.
I hope this information helps everyone understand a little better what's going on behind the scenes and appreciate our dedication to all of you. If we make a mistake, which we will not do often we will make it right in the end for everyone.
You will get an email from Robert containing two forms to fill out regarding your order. One is a standard DirecTV commitment; the other is from Robert and contains the terms you've already seen when you placed your order online (regarding returns/cancelations) and also is helping him confirm your shipping desire and address and credit card to bill the balance to, in case you want it billed somewhere other than where the deposit was charged.
Those forms have to be returned to him before your unit ships, but otherwise has no effect on your order or position in the queue.

I think we all would have been jazzed if someone here would have gotten one, early, even if you were the one.
He lied.
Well, that's ridiculous. If you go over to Happy Hour, you could find that a bunch of TC members recently got together and bought a new member her own TiVo! And not only a new one, but one with lifetime service and more capacity. That's not exactly hostile behavior. Obviously don't expect that to happen to each new member though... ;)quote:

Being "hard" on new users... Sure...
Since there is no hard core validation on obtaining a login to the forum, anyone can join, any number of times.
So when someone who just joins and makes significant claims that don't make sense. And the self-policing forum asks for validation... Then that claim is open to debate.
Re the KC case:
1) Who really cares.. If you believe him or not, doesn't change the fact if YOU have one yet.
2) IMHO, if you have enough money for an HDTV, and then a $1k HD-DTivo, I find it very hard to believe you don't have a digital imaging device of some type (webcam, digital still, digital video). So that is where my opinion was made regarding the validity of his claim.
Then with other sources, which have proven themselves to community here, doubting his claim as well from the retail end, and the DTV end... Then... ya know...
Bottom line is... Your reputation here on the boards is what you make of it. It is a self monitoring board. The members here watch out for other members, and try to keep the facts from the fiction seperated as much as possible.
And if any newbies are reading this: We like newbies, we where all there once before... Don't be afraid to ask questions, but if you are going to post something be sure you have the facts to back it up... Or it will be time for you to start all over again as a newbie... :)
..... Now let's get back to the important stuff..
When are the HD-DTivo's arriving...

What White Castles do the average human digestive track...
