Re: MIT Engineers
any of you guys have
ATT U-verse
Charter
Cox
Dish Network
Massillon Cable/Clear Picture
RCN
Suddenlink
Verizon FiOS
WOW!
with HBO?
If you do, do you trust me enough to give me your login so I can stream HBO Go on my Roku?
So I buy a RoKU specifically for the HBO GO feature, and then I found out DTV refuses to let its subscribers access it on a Roku box even though I can with an iPhone, computer and Samsung DVD player.
grrrrrrr.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Re: MIT Engineers
get the HBO GO iPhone App, and then activate it by providing it your DTV login/pw (to their website which validates you are an HBO subscriber)
at least that is how it works on the computer, my wife watches it on her iPhone so I assume it works the same way

Re: MIT Engineers
with HBO GO I think you now have access to the complete library of every series they have
supposedly, DTV's HBO on demand will have that soon which is why they don't want to support Roku (and I assume XBox360 when it has HBO GO on it in a couple of weeks)

Re: MIT Engineers
A dude from my office has HBO Go on his iPad. It has everything, mini-series too (like BoB and The Corner).
My cable company does not support it yet, unfortunately.

Re: MIT Engineers
The HBO Go app does not support air play through an Apple TV which is infuriating.

Re: MIT Engineers
So here I have been exploring the IPAD2 the past two weeks to give to my wife as a Christmas gift. Gone to the Mac store a few times. My wife was in Puerto Rico for 3 days for a site visit of one of their universities. She comes back saying she really is thinking about getting an IPAD after watching people with it.
I'm thinking great. I'll get mad brownie points. She then says that some of the computer engineers with her on this site visit tell her to wait for the next generation in the next 6 months or so because it''ll have a USB port.
Now what do I do?

Re: MIT Engineers
Tell her there are easy work-arounds for not having a USB and that you never want to buy a next generation anything when it first comes out.

Re: MIT Engineers
Get it, tell her you were going to buy it for her Xmas present before she got the new info from the engineers. Tell her to enjoy the one you got her for now and if she wants the next generation later (next Fall, or whatever) then your son gets the old iPad and she upgrades.
Don't tell the son this and if she doesn't feel the need to upgrade you don't do anything next Fall. Everything is everything.

Re: MIT Engineers
I like the idea of Cletus being infuriated over HBO Go not playing through his Apple TV. did he just sit in his easy chair and fume or did he go out to his garage and break some shit?
speaking of breaking shit, I got pissed today because I was trying to weed-eat one last patch of grass (actually my neighbor's but on my side of the driveway) of the season and the weed-eater, which hadn't been cranked in a month, wouldn't stay on. So I slammed it against the gate and the fuel line came out. since there was like just an oz. of gas left, I decided to do what I had seen my dad do once and pour into a bucket and light it.
But the problem was, as I later recalled, my dad used a tin bucket and I was using a plastic one. of course, the gas/oil mixture didn't burn very fast but the bucket did. less than 2 feet from a big pile of leaves I had raked up and the wind was blowing. my neighbor, who had come over to see what I was doing, then pointed out that I should probably find a way to put it out quick (our houses are about 15' apart) and my first reaction was the hose about 5 feet away. bad move. the water just spatter the fire into 6 of 7 smaller fires, including one on the leaves. I was able to get those subdued but by now the bucket flames are more than 2 feet tall and my wife is standing at the back door, her face, hardly visible thru the thick black smoke pluming upward, was a mask of "You're a fucking dumbass!" I then ran to the garage for a fire extinguisher but the 30-year old one I brought from my old house didn't work.
To make it worse, we could hire a fire truck blaring about a block away and I was sure someone had called the fire dept. and I was in for a lecture by some boot half my age. finally my neighbor got his fire extinguisher and put it out.
so I owe him a fire extinguisher and I'm out a bucket. but hey, it was pretty cool watching it burn.

Speaking of Apple TV
My SIL is thinking of getting it for my BIL, but she was not sure. Is the only major drawback you see is this HBO Go issue?

Any of the tablets also a smartphone? That is what I really need. To consolidate phone, laptop, kindle into one device.

Re: MIT Engineers
The Apple TV is OK. It has served my purposes pretty well as I watch a lot of stuff either from Netflix or off my iPad/computer. But, if you get most of your content from HBO GO, Hulu, or Amazon, it won't work out for you. I thought it was going to be much better but, given that it only costs $100, I feel like it's been a good buy.Bklyn wrote:Oh, at first I thought you were in some hardcore Libertarian area where you have to pay for police and fire department coverage a la carte.To make it worse, we could hire a fire truck blaring about a block away
