Posted by SpiceWare, in Music 06 May 2013 · 100 views

I became aware of Walk of the Earth after this video showed up on my 3DS in the 3D Video  app.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oHvl6z56zGc Soon after I found their clever cover of Goyte's Somebody That I Used to Know  where all 5 members of the group play on the same guitar at the same time.  I subscribed to them on YouTube after seeing it.http://www.yo...

April Savings

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 28 April 2013 · 151 views

While I did buy Blake's 7 , I'm not counting it in my savings over DirecTV  calculations as I couldn't have watched it on DirecTV anyway.  Since that was the only content I purchased this month, I'm going with $0 spent for April, thus $146 in savings.My cumulative savings is now $432, leaving a balance of $2299 to pay o...


Region 2 DVDs

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 11 April 2013 · 196 views

On Tuesday I saw a bit about SyFy planning to remake  the late 70's BBC series Blake's 7 .  It's a sci-fi series kinda-sorta-like Star Trek, but with a totalitarian federation.  I watched most of them on PBS in the late 80s and quite enjoyed them.I decided to look into getting the show on DVD but discovered that it was only released for region...

Triple the Original Storage

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 06 April 2013 · 192 views

My Drobo 5D  is now set up and works quite well.  I've migrated all content to the Drobo (before TV recordings were stored on the internal drive while iTunes content was on the FireWire drive).   While performance isn't the reason I bought the Drobo, I did a few tests with Blackmagic Disk Speed Test  as I was curious - it's a bit faster:Stock...


March Savings

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 27 March 2013 · 186 views

I thought I was going to get away with spending $0 this month, but Doctor Who, Season 7, Pt. 2  starts up this weekend - so I've spent $22 for the month, netting $124 in savings.Online episodes of Being Human  started to be updated again, so I'm fine with that.  Face Off  started to get updated as well, so I should have held off.The...


Double the Storage

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 03 March 2013 · 253 views

TV Recordings, Ripped DVDs and purchased content from iTunes take up quite a bit of disk space.  I've been deleting the TV Recordings after watching each show, but space was still getting tight.  That's partly due to my working on another unannounced project instead of watching TV.  That project is currently in limbo, so I'm taking a break fro...


106 Channels

Posted by SpiceWare, in DVR Project 02 March 2013 · 120 views

Time for another rescan .   QVC is now available over the air.  For some reason it's available on two different channels 10.4 and 34.3 My mom likes QVC so I thought might help if they decide to cut the cord, but it's being sent letterboxed on a 4x3 signal :ponder: and looks quite crappy to boot. It is available via their website though, so that mi...
