thank you sir :) just what i was looking for

Hey there, just got the Powercolor ATI theater 550 pro and it's great! except that there is no TV guide software included with it :( .. They offer a free trial of one, but it chose my region as Germany (i'm in the US) and provided no channel information, so i'm not going to be paying for that...

aaron, listen. i have a plan. find wings and seagull feathers and meet me by the shiny building.

holy oh my god. I just read twelve pages of this. the entire thing. I feel completely retarded now. Gotsmack, is your mom hot? .. i mean, for an older chinese-american woman? because i'm into older mathematically inept chinese-american women. Please get back to me on this. -chris
