I was a big proponent of the old color, as well.  But, it is infinitely easier on the eyes with the black on white.  However, both Mike and I agree that there’s a little too much white, which is why quoted text is now shaded and we’re looking at other areas to add some color.  If you have ideas, please let us know.  We’re all EYES!  😉

There were some issues transferring over the signatures to the new site’s formatting.  I redid mine about 10 times already and it’s still not quite right.

Sorry, not just yet. We’re getting there, though. Feel free to email me a picture at skirge01 at missingremote dawt com.

BTW, I also use FF, so I’m very curious what you’re seeing.

Thanks!

I’ve been going over the site quite extensively and have not seen anything which I’d describe like that. Can you give an example of where I might see this?

Thanks for the heads up. These posts are great because it lets us know what our users found especially useful.

That would change the device in Windows between the X-fi and the ATI card, right?  That does sound good to me, so if you know what kind of Googling I should do for such an app, I’m all ears.

But, what I’m actually talking about is switching the source on the receiver, since I’ll need to change from HDMI video and audio via the ATI card to HDMI video on the ATI and X-fi audio, which will be plugged into another audio input on the receiver.

My thoughts are:

1.  Get my butt up and hit a button the receiver
2.  Program a button on the remote to switch audio inputs
3.  Program a new activity with the only change being to swap the audio input and NOT start SageTV

I think #2 is going to be the easiest and most logical to deal with.

My Antec Fusion has a white LED for power.  While I do like it, it’s far too bright.  Green or blue would be nice, again, as long as they aren’t super bright.  When you look at them straight on (or any angle), they should not be blinding.  Some sort of filter should be in place to diffuse the light.  Additionally, if the room is completely dark, the LED shouldn’t light up a 6 foot section in front of the case or illuminate the couch across the room.  ;D

When you consider families with 3 or 4 people in the house, all of TV-watching age, it all starts to make some sense.  It does still seem a little high, but not as outrageous as it did originally.

That sounds ridiculous.  Did they include online videos in those numbers?  Unless more than half the country is out of work, how can people possibly watch TV that much during the week?  The only other thing I can think of is that there’s a huge spike on Saturdays and Sundays.
