Current problems:

  1. Dam SATA cable from Tivo HD to external drive keeps falling out.  Need to come up with a solution.  Thinking duck tape.
  2. Up converting doesnt appear to be working from Tivo 2 (S-Video); picture looks like crap.  Currently S into the AVR, then HDMI out to Panny.
  3. Panny Black screen when changing screens.  Could be the HDCP?  Really annoying.

Online Storage Options

July 31st, 2007

I generally use Orb to get to my stuff at home when I am remote.  Love Orb, but its slow and it tends to be unavailable.  It hasnt been stable since Vista.

From a previous post I started using JungleDisk - which works great and its cheap.  I just started this week to use it to back up picture - cant wait for the bill now.  JD is great, but I started having issues with OneNote on my laptop (MB Pro).  Still trying to figure that out - I think it may have something to do with a Vista bug where the drive letter thinks its disconnected but it isnt.  SP1?

Anyway, an alternative service is Logmein.  Going to experiment.
