Lurk..do you have Real One "Rhapsody"? I do the same thing...turn on the music and wait until someone on the board mentions something exciting going on...then "maybe" I'll turn on the feeds. Unless it's Sat Night then I play the feeds.

Naw I play my own music (I have a few gigs worth on the puter). I must say Real's full equalizer really gives the best playback sound I've found. It doesn't hurt that I have Boston speakers and a sub woofer. (my computer has better sound than my stereo lol).

For some reason when I had an error a couple weeks ago it ate my playlists so I've been trying to reassemble them...but it's been slow going. Does anyone know if there is a way to back them up? I don't want to do that again!

It is raining cats & dogs here in the NY metro area; there is no way that the Yankee's game will start on time much less be played at all.

I was barely able to make it home from work, roads are impassable in some areas in NJ.

So, I am sure BB will be on here at the normal time.

From your mouth to God's ears Sasman. Does anyone know how to find out if a game is cancelled?

I looked on yankees.com and on cbsnewyork.com but did not see anything about the game.

Catfat - Well howdy neighbor! Yes I knew about the seed foundation, very sad many of those seeds were one of a kind.
It is such a very small town... We probably pass each other all the time. :)
(now i'm trying to remember everyone In town that i know are BB fans..)

I just gotta say that TIVO is the greatest thing
since sliced bread, no kidding. And it goes
fine with cable; I switched from DirecTV because I was tired of outages during rain. I just LOVE TIVO~~~~

Kalekona and Catfat: I looked for member folders for you but couldn't find any so have to make this a "public" message. I'm not from Port Townsend (other side of the State actually) but my neice is and is also a local artist. She recently bought a business in your absolutely beautiful historic downtown. She married a year and a half ago to a young district attorney for the Port Angeles area. Small world if you know her.

are they gonna release TIVO in Canada anytime soon?

Calgary, I don't know if it's being sold in Canada or not. They have a website - tivo.com. If you can't find one locally, you can probably buy one online.

Good question Calgary, I was wondering the same thing, we don't have it in Alberta, but maybe down east...Anybody have TIVO in Ontario?

Calgaryperson: We do have our own version TIVO. It's called the "Personal Video Recorder". I know it's available here in Montreal. You might want to check with Shaw to see if they offer it or, if they don't, when they will.

Does everything have to be broadcast digitally to use TIVO (or the PVR that you're talking about scorpio)?

Catfat, just go to the members area and click on create a thread, type that person's name in, add a message, and voila, new folder!

Click here for the message board area:

However, please be reminded that member folders are subject to all the same rules of the board as are the BB area. :)

Hope that helps!

I just got a Tivo last week, and so far I'm not happy with it. It won't change channels, which is what was wrong with my VCR and the reason we went to Tivo. The only thing we could think of is the IR blasters weren't positioned right, so we ordered a 15 to 9 prong thingy for the back. It's suppose to be better than the IR Blasters and if not, you'll be able to hear it hit the wall in Cal.!! I'm tired of stupid electronic that don't work!!

This doesn't exactly break my heart as I am a huge Yankees fan without YES Network...but just FYI...CBS in NY area is carrying Yankees game tonight. And even worse for non-Yankee fans...there is likely to be a big rain delay somewhere along the line. :(

Worst scenario for Yankee fans and BB fans...game starts...goes a couple of innings...then rain delay.

Please don't kill the messenger....

Calgaryperson - Bell Express satellite service offers a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) option with their service.

I would like to complain that I spent the weekend, working on my sister's laptop so she could fully enjoy the BB experience and her IPS is making her wait until next week to fix a problem with her internet service, even though she pays monthly!

I'd like to complain that everything is working fine with my computer (why do I say stupid things like this when I am so close to it...actually I have one problem that needs fixing but all in all I'm running fine) and I'm NOT enjoying the BB experience this year...just this board.

Lurk, it will take too long to puree the peaches. Go get a hurricane. If that doesn't improve BB, continue the hurricanes until BB seems good or you're out like a light.

Yankees are playing...top of the second, two outs, 3-1 Yankees.
