Prioritize HD Homerun data with Asus RT-AC68P

Thanks for the response! I recognize that part of the problem is that there is no ethernet built into my house and I'm currently using MOCA connectors for the my home network. So the bandwidth is limited to about 200mbps. It's the best that I can currently do, because while it's my dream to...

Prioritize HD Homerun data with Asus RT-AC68P

I've been trying to set up my router so that the HD Homerun (a network TV tuner) traffic is prioritized over all else. It's very annoying to have recorded a show, but have it glitched out, because a file was being transferred somewhere on the network. I've been unsuccessful when trying to...

New Tivo with no monthly service charge - OTA recording

How does the Roamio deal with splitting the incoming antenna signal four ways? It seems to me that unless you have a very robust incoming signal that there'd be significant weakening of some edge channels. Maybe to the degree of not being able to tune them in.

New Tivo with no monthly service charge - OTA recording

I'll echo a lot of the other comments and say that this may be exactly what I'm looking for to replace my decrepit Vista Media Center DVR. In fact, I was pricing out a completely new system yesterday and it was going to be between $450-500. It goes without saying that I'd have to use Win7 for...

Updates(?) Killed Audio on Two Computers

One is an Intel machine and the other is AMD, but I'm not sure if my office machine is Realtek audio like the DVR machine, though. Beyond that there's the additional problem of the power blinking off the night before due to some storms rolling through. Maybe it was a perfect storm. I'll keep a...

Updates(?) Killed Audio on Two Computers

I have a Windows Vista box that I use solely as a DVR and then a Win8 machine for my home office. Yesterday I come to find that both have reboot and both have their system audio completely disabled. Nothing I did (reinstalling drivers, etc) would bring back the audio. Both machines had...

Bananas as We Know Them Could Disappear Forever

This was in the news literally 10 years ago. I had this conversation with people at work about how the banana was endangered due to some banana tree disease and that we needed to enjoy them while we could. Literally 10 years ago.

Why won't Nintendo discount the Wii U?

I just bought a used on WiiU off Craigslist this past weekend. The Super Mario Bros U package complete in box for $200. Seemed worth it since I'm interested in playing 10 or so games that are exclusive to the system.

Planning a first run of the major SNES RPG's

Shadowrun isn't being considered an RPG? ETA: I guess I should have read the rest of the thread since it's mentioned in post 3.

Retro gaming

Another Craigslist find! $70 for the lot. That's a complete SNES console with two controllers and instructions, boxed Super Metroid with instructions, Super Mario World, Legend of Zelda, Super Street Fighter 2, Street Fighter 2 Turbo, Donkey Kong Country, and... uh, Madden '93. Sweet!

Should I Take This Job?

The .gov benefits are really the draw of this new job. Excellent health insurance with zero deductible and a full defined benefit pension. Can't beat that with a stick. While I'd be making more money initially there are no built-in raises like you usually have in private industry. You have...

Should I Take This Job?

I'll try and make a long story short. I was getting frustrated with the requirements that the corporate home office was putting on my current job, so I applied for a government job. It wasn't a good fit and the pay was actually less than I currently make, so I ended up passing. They came...

MOCA vs EoP

Thanks for the suggestion of the using the phone lines. However, I guess the builder (DR Horton, BTW) came to the conclusion that not many people use landlines any more and only installed 3 connection points. One in the master bedroom, one in the kitchen, and one at the control panel for the...

MOCA vs EoP

I recently bought a newly built house and unfortunately the builder didn't see fit to install Ethernet. Doing my own Ethernet drops appears to be extremely difficult from a logistical standpoint so I'm exploring other options. Does anyone have experience with MOCA (Multimedia over Coax) versus...
