  • Blast From The Past: HDTV Tutorial

    One thing really great about a blog is that everything you have written is available FOREVER (barring asteroids, etc).  Here is my VERY FIRST blog post from way back in 2006 (on TelBitConsulting.com). We had recently purchased our first (and still current main HDTV) and Tracy, CA had just gotten HDTV service.  It is interesting…

  • Logitech Harmony 650 Remote

    Lori could not learn the process I had for watching a movie on the blu-ray or on VUDU. Geeez what is her problem?  Using a combination of three remotes, 27 button pushes, and moving one wire (just kidding)….it was easy! She wanted me to write the process down….well, I do not have time to write…

  • VUDU Review 2

    Rating:  5 WaterTowers (still nearly perfect) After you are done here:  See my original review of VUDU. This weekend we recieved our new Vudu system.   As you may already know, we love Vudu and we used it for a long time before I actually had to remind Vudu that we had the demo unit.…

  • Comcast Buys NBC

    Interesting development this morning as Comcast purchased NBC Universal from General Electric. The technology mergers continue.  In recent weeks we have seen the marriages of Tandberg and Cisco, Logitech and Lifesize, and now Comcast and NBC.  Very interesting times… A NY Times article says: “Almost immediately, the transaction reshapes the nation’s entertainment industry, giving a…

  • Sony Blu-Ray Player Review

    Rating:  4 WaterTowers For Christmas this year before we run out of money (remember starving blogger and substitute teacher) my wife gave me a Sony Blu Ray player. Prices have come down and apparently she got a really good deal at Best Buy in Tracy, CA.  She also purchased a few movies to watch (Batman,…

  • Internet Movies and Blu Ray

    I’ve been thinking.   A very dangerous thing, I know.  But I was wondering how the likes of VUDU (see my review), AppleTV, the Blockbuster (see my blog entry) and NetFlix (see my blog entry)  streaming video players will effect (hmmm, is that right?  effect, affect?) the life of Blu-Ray.   A few weeks ago,…

  • Comcast Tracy, CA Upgrades HDTV Channels, Part 2

    I was breezing through the HD channels a couple of nights ago, and found new channels. Interesting that I never seem to be aware that this is going to happen…is it just me? Fourteen new HD channels have been added and we lost MOJO….but, if you ever watched MOJO you may agree that that is…

  • Comcast HDTV Cable Box Installation

    Comcast HDTV Cable Box Installation

      As many of you know, I had a cable card installed in my Sony HDTV. That card has given me very good service for the past 4 years, but, in the past year or so, I have periodically lost signal to many stations we watch. To get those stations back, I have to call…

  • Comcast Tracy Upgrades HDTV Channels

    Comcast has once again upgraded their HD offerings in Tracy, CA. I posted the last change here. Now they have made a few changes to their existing channels (mostly in naming conventions) and added nine more channels, some of which could be interesting. Here is the current list: 903–KCRA NBC904–KQCA My58906–KVIE PBS908–KTXL Fox910–KXTV ABC912–KMAX CW31…
