Very nice indeed.. going to get much better when the entire line up in converted to digital... we can't use the best compression ratio yet because analog is taking up a lot of the bandwidth needed (analog takes up more bandwith than digital by the way... I am the first to admit that Direct TV and Dish do have a better picture than cable ~~~ but I would still rather have cable (there are many reasons why) ~~~ when Cox gets to 100% digital nobody will be able to compete

DVR is Digital Video Recorder A product like PVR boxes (Personal Video Recorder) such as TiVO See DVR here >> http://www.cox.com/Phoenix/DigitalTV/dvr/ See TiVO here >> http://www.tivo.com/ - Damon

Cox in Phoenix had 'DVR' which is a PVR box that needs no phone line... it's friggen PiMP! As for a good video service... I havn't found any at the quality that I consider watchable... if anyone finds any service like that... at the very very least 300 Kbps ~~ at the least 600 Kbps quaility ... and also has a bunch of cool crap.. let me know. - Damon

well DLINK is lame In my opinion DLINK is the worst product on the planet... I remember back in like 1994 I got a DLINK 28.8 modem... I used it for 4 hours and the phone jack port melted... and even though there was a mail in rebate that made the card nearly free (I think I paid like $69 and it had a $50 rebate)..... I spent $100 on a US Robotics (that had no rebate)... from then on I have been 100% about quality of a product, never a bargin shopper. - Damon's little 'DLINK almost caught his house on fire, so he hates them for ever' story!

Oh hexadecial AKA 'HEX'... It's all mathematics brotha! That is number representation using the digits 0-9, with their usual meaning, plus the letters A-F (or a-f) to represent hexadecimal digits with values of (decimal) 10 to 15. The right-most digit counts ones, the next counts multiples of 16, then 16^2 = 256, etc. For example, hexadecimal BEAD is decimal 48813: digit weight value B = 11 16^3 = 4096 11*4096 = 45056 E = 14 16^2 = 256 14* 256 = 3584 A = 10 16^1 = 16 10* 16 = 160 D = 13 16^0 = 1 13* 1 = 13 ----- BEAD = 48813 There are many conventions for distinguishing hexadecimal numbers from decimal or other bases in programs. In {C} for example, the prefix "0x" is used, e.g. 0x694A11. If you need conversion go to start>run> "calc" > view > scientific ... then there will be a HEX button on your windows calculator Math is a bitch

well yea, if IRC is running in the tray and serving to people.. that is taking up your bandwidth bro. It will definitly be slower Even if only your upload is being effected through IRC, your download will be effected everywhere else because upload effects how fast requests can be made, therefor effecting your download.

lol

one more post for you and you upgrade

Get an Intel chipset NIC card, and a LinkSys BEFCMU10 or Motorola 4200 or 5100 those are great - Damon

OCin' isn't nessisary if you get a dope chip in the first place

OEM is just the chip.. not packaging not heat sink no fan Retail has all the crap with it.

What was your speeds before all this?? ~~~ have you checked the possition of your dish?

so you get 1 Mbit from Directway??? That is niiiiice from them.

is it running in the background

lol niiiiiiice this is now the biggest thread I have ever had... By the way, thank you all for all the posting, very good to see my forums getting put to some use! we have a little under 1000 posts to date and a large amount are from this month only ~~~~ I'm not so lonely anymore ~~ and I will need more mods soon ~~~~ because hopefully this forum grows to the point where it is impossible for me to read and answer everything. And as i have said before... the snow ball is rolling down the hill and growing fast....

Naw i got a very nice deal worked out.. but i will need to get more servers in a couple months due to growth... but my ad revinue pays for the hosting 10 times over so expansion isn't a problem. I just can't wait to see what the site has grown to in 24 more months, hopefully my dream to stop working the 9-5 and focus completely on the web will come true. The numbers I have ran suggest that it is way more than likely... I also can't wait untill MRP and I release www.tapitorslapit.com --- I am positive that will be a HUGE success... going to have to get ANOTHER mmeeeeeeaaaan COLO server for that puppy... for the population we expect we are going to need about 500+ GB of storeage for the image server........ but you guys will all see (we were going to release it in November but we decided to take the time to design it right the first time) ~~~ ehhhh maybe it will flop, but this shit is fun for me either way ~ the money is just a way to A: pay for my expenses B: hopefully get me away from my job so I can focus more on what I like to do MRP hasn't been in the forums in a long time :-/ ~~ bastard! lol

Corsair memory ROCKS! Just about the only memory I will use

that dye is PiMP!

just about 5 years

you guys are earing that MOD status aren't ya

Yea I will do that when I get home ~~~~ you do mean on the members list right

The 4000/384 CHSI from COX ... I can get that set up for you if you'd like, I work for Cox.

They just say they require more.. they don't actually use all the bandwidth ... 128 kbps is 15.63 KB/sec

then people will just pull out the solder and gun and MOD their computers... there is NOTHING they can do to stop it... 'cept hold a gun to our heads... and some people would still try
