Recession Vacation: bike-pulled camper built from salvage {Autoblog}
Sep 5th 2009 8:55PM The bubble looks more like a oven for your head. Wonder how long to cook your brain in the direct sun.
HANA Entertainment Box looks to pass along HD content over coax {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2008 5:34PM I'm guessing doing 8vsb modulation over coax would be too easy & cheap...and the pirate police wouldn't be able to encrypt it. With 8vsb all you would need is a central box to play the content over digital channels your TV could easily tune in.
DISH Network calls first to 100% MPEG-4 {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2008 4:03PM I tried to get TurboHD a couple weeks ago and my only option was to add it to an SD package. I wanted TurboHD Silver standalone for $32.99/mo but my only option was to upgrade from my Top 100 package to the Top 200 and then add TurboHD Silver on top of that. That would bring me up to $54.99/mo. At this point I hate all cable & satellite providers.
DISH Network calls first to 100% MPEG-4 {Engadget HD}
Aug 26th 2008 9:45AM Too bad their new standalone HD package (TurboHD) is only available to *new* customers. I'd gladly give up my less-than-SD crap-o-vision package with them to get TurboHD (fewer HD channels) for the same price. I think it's time to call their cancellation department and see how much they care about loosing a customer.
