I'm saving up money to buy an HD PVR. Is this the correct one? If so, does anyone know how difficult they are to set up?

Man, I surely started a bandwagon! :blink: :P

Yes, it is the one :yes: as for setup, its not hard at all.. you would have to connect the component video cables to the STB from the HD PVR and if you have to use component video for an HD signal (like i do since my TV doesnt have HDMI), you can output the picture to your TV set thats being received into the PVR and its the same signal sent to the computer

Went to serve my jury duty today, and the judge kicked everyone who was wearing jeans or shorts out! We were all told we would be re-summoned to appear at a later date. How ridiculous! I was wearing a nice polo and nice shorts, nothing inappropriate. What a  :censored: :censored: :censored: she was.

And they wonder why people hate the justice system!

They're THAT strict? I wore jeans to court on the day I went on jury duty and the judge didn't even say anything about it. Heh, probably the EC courthouse are a bit lenient.

Wow thats ridiculous. The letter I got said to wear comfortable clothing. Guess the judges have their own standards in mind.  :blink: Sounds like a real  :censored:

Sorry about your experience, Tyler. I guess you got unlucky with your judge. I have yet to serve, but I'll wait for the government to hunt me down to fulfill that civic duty.

Also, I just wanted to say good-bye to you guys for a little while. I'm not permanently leaving, but I'm having some real-life issues that are making me seem a lot more irritable than I really am. (This explains why I unintentionally bash TWC; I seriously don't mean to, but it just comes across that way.) Now I'm aware of the number of complaints about TWC and all, so my jets will be cooled for future posts. After talking to a friend, he advised me to take a neutral stance on TWC and their changes, and I think that's a good example we can all consider using because TWC is going to change in a way to help its ratings whether we like it or not, and we will have to adapt to the inevitable realities of life. (You know who you are, and I thank you very much for your help.) I may not be an avid fan for much longer, but I hope to be here while I am and visit during my spare time.

Hopefully once junk in my personal life gets better, it will make me a better poster and influence in the TWCT community. Hope to see you guys again soon--probably after I adapt to yet another year of college. I plan to go in with a better attitude this year, and that is the best thing we can do.  B)

Take care, everybody.

Just heard about that on the radio. Apparently, two kids that were camping at VA Tech saw a man near the Dining Hall with what looked like a shotgun. They went on lockdown as a precaution, but as of yet, police have found no traces of guns.

They haven't found anything yet, but everything seemed to be okay although under police surveillance when I drove around the campus to return home from work.

Blehh. Hate it when personal lives do that, but it's understandable that it must be dealt with accordingly. Coincidentally that I just came back from setting my priorities straight. xD Best of luck with your next semester at college. You're gonna need ittt :D

Virginia Tech is under lockdown now due to a suspected gun carrier http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2011/08/virginia-tech-under-lockdown-because-of-report-of-gunman/1

Bunch of bull. 3 kids may or may not have seen a guy carrying something  that kinda looked like a weapon underneath a cloth. The university did a lockdown which was the right thing to do and has since lifted it. However the media acted insane and scared everybody to death by saying there was a confirmed gunman running around campus. I have a feeling this is another balloon boy story and those kids needs to be questioned further.

It's gonna be with Brett Adair, if you're familiar with him.
I have heard of him. How do you know him?

Wow, I was googling a certain TWC song that I wanted to look into purchasing locations for.. and as it turns out, a local newspaper here did an article on Steve Hurst 8 years ago! :blink:
