Of course MythTV give you more options, such as controlling the speed: 1.1, 1.2, 1.3...2 (or as fast as you hardware can handle)

Kanex Mini DisplayPort Adapter will take your Mac mini to HDMI town {Engadget HD}
Oct 5th 2009 12:03PM what a rip and why do we need display port? uhhh Apple drives me nuts. we can have a normal connector we need a new one so everyone will buy a new monitor.
For ipod we need a "dock connector" we cant just use a USB mini plug! We will sell dock connectors for $20 and make lots on licensing the spec!
Apple drives me nuts.

Clear QAM HD isn't going anywhere! {Engadget HD}
Aug 30th 2009 6:21PM I am one of the very lucky people who has lots of clear qam channels. In my KC local I have 2 cable companies (Time Warner and Surewest) as well as ATT U-Verse. I am able to pick up all but 2 HD channels via clear QAM. Those two being TNT and TBS. This kinda makes me laugh cause of thier content compared to say Discovery or NFL network. Here is my list of what I get:
CBS
ABC
KCWE
VS
Fox
FS Midwest
ESPN HD
the spot
ABC
PBS HD
PBS2
NBC
FOX Bus
NBC
TLC
FX
ESPN U
UHD
FNC
SyFy
Wealth
DSN XD
Family HD
Bravo
USA
Discovery
ESPN2
NFL Network
When i was cable shopping and discovered Surewest had all these QAM channels I asked my sales rep if they will stay this way. He said they will not encrypt their basic level. This is why I believe it is total BS that TW and Comcast roll their lack of clearQAM on the content owners. If a small local cable company can do it TW should be able to. In reality it all goes back to the large few wanting complete control of their network and what you do and extra money of STB rentals.
I am a MythTV user with 3 QAM tuners. If Surewest decides to go encrypted I will do what I did for the past 2 years. OTA only!
Now I know how lucky I am and can only wish they switch to DTA's and I can start getting all my SD channels in QAM.
