Re: Test

<t>That's ok. A month ago I bought a NAS, worked well for my stuff, but my daughter's laptop wouldn't shut down properly with it on the network (blue screen &c.) so I rejigged the masks so she couldn't see it but I could. Then my router died, so I put in the free one that orange had given me, an...

OK so my laptop's subnet mask must match the router's mask for me to post to the forum, but not to post to elsewhere!

Re: Where are we?

My boss just asked me if I was willing to work Christmas. So will RasPi ship by then? Or should I work Xmas, and have the New Year off to play with it?

Just spent an hour tearing apart all my stuff - set top boxes, Bluetooth rx, WiFi, router, &c. - to look for Broadcom chips. Now half of them don't work.

Re: I?m puzzled

I was going to use the Crazy Frog ...
Just had a look ... Broadcom silk-screened on the board. Can't read what's on the RAM.
Still ... how can Broadcom leverage this into more sales to phone-makers? Which phone should I buy to help this?

<t>Does it matter if there is a commercial undertone? I think it does - in fact there must be! No company can do anything without a positive effect on its shareholers' pockets - it only exists to line its shareholders' pockets. So in the supermarkets case I, the customer, can influence the companies...

Re: TV-Tuner/Capture

<t>Why more than one tuner on the RasPi? Surely you could have one RasPi per tuner, feeding a NAS?<br/> Then you can record as many channels as you want (as long as the bandwidth of the network feeding the NAS can handle it)<br/> This is just an inversion of the problem - we're trying to use the Ras...
