The card works great, just save your tears and don't bother with ATI Multimedia Center.. it's one of the buggiest pieces of software I've ever encountered. The...
Ok, I am a Dishnetwork subscriber with a Vip211 receiver, and was excited when Dish Network launched the locals in HD via the satellite. However the picture...
A couple of weeks ago, we purchased an HDTV and a HD DirecTiVo (aka HR10-250). We live in zip code 94118, so we are about 2 miles from Mt. Sutro and about 7...
