Glad I could help :)
I never was much of one to make emulations, but that was what I used long ago :P

Very tempted to get one of these new Belkin routers.

Looks pretty cool! And comes with a better price, too!

I like it, it's very simple.

Wow, that does look neat. I haven't even had my Linksys router for a year, and it keeps going in and out (randomly disconnecting when the actual connection itself, and the modem, are fine)... sometimes several times a night. Is Belkin a better brand than linksys? I always thought Linksys was supposed to make decent routers.

Anyways, as I'm sure many of you can imagine, I'm having a hard time deleting files from before the graphics change a couple weeks ago. I've been recording on and off this past week, but I'm still unsure if I want to make room for new files or not bother to record anymore.


I've caught most of what I've wanted (Trammell, TWC outage, playlist changes, Flash Flood Warning, etc).

Hey, for anyone that has the IntellISTAR, is the local forecast weather animations showign up in the 36 Hour Forecast? For some reason the STAR where I am isn't showing it. I hope TWC didn't plan on taking them out...

I wish they would, but no, it sounds like an issue with your Intellistar. I have never seen that here.

Hmm. Well, I'm sure it'll be fixed sometime soon then. However, my STAR also has some pretty serious audio/narration jumping problems, so this isn't the only problem the STAR has.

Avoid D-Link.  Currently using that and it doesn't work all that well (cuts in and out with my iPhone and print server).  Used a Linksys for ever and ever and works great.  Belkin has worked well when I've used it.

I'll be pouncing on the expensive one...replace the print server and gain wireless backups (preorder on Amazon is $30 cheaper).

I've never heard of a Belkin router until you mentioned it today.  If they're just as comparable to Linksys in terms of quality and longevity, then I'll have to keep that brand in mind for the future. :yes:

My favorite brand is Buffalo. In two years I went through two Linksyses, a D-Link, and a Netgear. They all had the same 'dropping the connection, not allowing connection' problems. I've been using a Buffalo for years now and I've restarted it only a half-dozen times. Most of the time is wasn't even a problem with the router.

I have a Netgear router with dd-wrt. Works great!

I've never heard of that brand before. Where did you buy it?
