ASUS leaving he ATI scene would be a shame. Does Gecube only sell in Europe? I have not seen anything from them before.

I think this is only true in certain cases. The major competitor around here is BrightHouse and I think they only require a STB if you want to get the premium channels or for HD programming. My parents have BrightHouse and last I checked they had several old TVs with no STB that were still...

This is interesting, I may have to do a little more research on that Westell router. Do you have their VOIP or TV service or just ISP? I'm curious if they integrate the components needed for VOIP and updating the STB guide into one router now or if they still use a seperate box.

I use my own router because from everything I've read the router Verizon provides isnt all that great. Work was kind enough to donate a nice 8 port netgear prosafe router and I have a feeling its a much better router than anything Verizon would give me. It has a lot more granular options for...

Just wanted to post an update in this thread. I took cmetz suggestion and tried a different router, an old netgear prosafe I snagged from work, and that does appear to have solved the changing IP problem. As for the PPPoE issue... the Verizon tech, after playing dumb at first, said that they...

taltamir, Like winterpool said, basically good luck finding a tuner that supports cablecard. I'm not 100% sure that Verizon offers cablecards either. I also don't want to pay the equipment rental fee for the cable cards. Yes it is cheaper than having several STBs but half the reason I want...

Hmm, not very many FIOS TV users on here ATM I guess. Well I found some answers here but its starting to look like the only real way to accomplish what I want is with a cablecard system which is more trouble and expense than I think I'm willing to endure. Well if Verizon can't get my...

I currently have Verizon FIOS for my Cable TV service and for the most part I like it. The big problem I have with it is that their Multi-Room DVR just plain sucks. So, I figured I'd resurrect my old MCE2005 DVR computer and put it to good use! The question is, what type of tuner do I need to...

Hey, hey! Just found a good mirror. Here is the URL if anybody else is having the same trouble: http://findfiles.com/list.php?...e=488929620&db=Mirrors

I need the 780G chipset drivers. The file on ASUS' website is called amd_chipset_v501010008_xpvista.zip and I have not been able to locate it anywhere else. I've googled 780G chipset drivers as well as the exact file name with no luck.

I bought an ASUS M3A78-EM used and don't have the driver CD. I need to download the AMD chipset drivers for WinXP but ASUS' own website must be hosting the file on a 56k modem or some crap because I've tried for the past two days to get the 400+ MB file and can never get more than 16Kbps on the...

Great info cmetz! I will try plugging in a different router and see if I get a usable IP through DHCP. I've actually been wanting to replace the dlink router supplied by Verizon but I don't know the userid and password that is stored in it for PPPoE. I've been avoiding dealing with their...

cmetz, I am on PPoE and have the D-Link router.

I don't use P2P very often but I think this is a pretty underhanded tactic on Verizon's part. I'll pay the same price for a slightly slower cable connection if I can feel secure that they are not going to screw with me when I decide to grab a Fedora ISO.

I hadn't thought about that but I honestly don't think so. I didn't have much else going at the time besides Pidgen. I also have a dynamic domain name through dyndns and checked my logs on the updater client. The IP hopping started about 2-3min after I started the bittorrent traffic and then...
