No go on TV server

29 October, 2007 (18:22) | General

I figured out today the setup I have for a TV server does not work… the HDHR tuners cannot change the digital receiver set to box from my cable provider.  Shoots that idea down.  Now I’ve already spent $340 on digital tuners and $1,000 on a TV server that is now useless.
Guess I’ll be getting [...]

New Server

26 October, 2007 (20:08) | Computers, Hardware

I just ordered a brand new 4U rackmount server to act as my TV streaming/sageTV box.  Its a x2 6000+ 3ghz AMD, 2gigs of DDR2-533, dual 500gig sata drives, 500w PSU, 4U Norco case, DVD burner, gigabyte mobo and a 7600gt.  The graphics is needed for the TV server to stream live TV to the [...]

sagetv

22 October, 2007 (18:21) | Computers, Hardware, Networking

I’m about ready to buy sagetv ($80 for server license, and 5x $30 for client license) and have my streaming media server.  I’m just about done with reformatting my linux file server to windows XP so the software will work easily.  Gonna have 840 gigs of usage space (150 of it hardware RAID 1, nifty [...]

Map update

15 October, 2007 (09:15) | Counter-Strike

I noticed today that my map archives are a bit out of date (1.5 years to be exact). CS1.6 maps are not included in the update I’m going to be doing. I will be updating CSS maps, DODs maps and HL2DM maps.
Now for the first time I will be doing category map packs, [...]

HL2:E2

11 October, 2007 (19:59) | Games

I just finished it, I must say it was really good and worth the time and money.  I cant wait to see what happens in E3.  It took me about 6-7 hours to get through it.   I’ll probably play through it a few more times then wait for HL2:E3.  I’ve almost beaten Portal also.  I [...]
