You will probably get more channels when those stations change over, but my guess is thats not your problem since most stations have already switched. Your problem will be the same as before: rabbit ears are - for the most part - rubbish. Get a high gain powered indoor or outdoor antenna. I use a $120 (incl. S&H) Winegard GS2200 Sensar III antenna. It is sitting on the window sill in my media room and gets fanstatic reception without me having to even mount it outdoors (though it is an outdoors antenna) on a pole. In fact, the reception is so good that I split the signal using a powered splitter - which is how I end up with two OTA feeds for my HTPC.

Now you know why that 500GG HDD is looking so small now. I have so much catching up to do, its not even funny. As for Fringe, yeah, you're right. It does have that "been there, done that" feel to it, but I like John Noble and he's perfect for the part he plays. The others, especially Joshua Jackson, are easily forgettable. Sometimes even my favorite shows bore me. Thats why I have the FF button. For e.g. I watched the latest Terminator episode and I think I must have FF past about 70% of it. Seriously. Speaking of conflicts, I just got an email from my server telling me that next Monday, the premiere of Boston Legal, clashes with CSI-Miami on Monday night. And thats because at that hour, I am already recording THREE (two OTA and one DTV) shows!! So this weekend I'm going to have to make a trip to the attic and tinker around with a high gain splitter so that I can have a fourth feed (for cable) coming off the line that DTV (which replaced the cable in that media room) took over. Since my Hauppage tuners have two OTA, two cable and one serial each, I can just stick the split cable into the spare fourth feed and end up with 2 OTA, 1 DTV (s-video) and 1 basic cable (coax) for a total of four (instead of three) feeds. Thank God the HTPC is powerful enough to record it all or I'd be looking at a system upgrade as well. Ah, its fun to be a geek!

If you read - and understood the manual - then you should know that most missiles have the ability to re-acquire depending on how long before the EMD jammer was deactivated and if the missile has the ability to burn through it. And if you [foolishly] think that you are the only one with access to advanced missiles or that the NPCs don't know what they're doing, then you're just that: foolish. UCCE manual UCCE tutorial

Just when I thought a 500GB drive for my BeyondTV HTPC was ok, I find myself thinking about getting a 1TB drive. So many shows, so little time!! My HTPC records two OTA HD streams and one DTV (via S-Video) via two Hauppage tuners. But now it looks like I'm going to have to add a fourth feed (for my basic cable) since it looks like most of these shows are going to start overlapping once the networks start shuffling things around. Since I only get to watch one show per day a week and at most two or three on the weekend, I have a major backlog!! In fact, I haven't watched a single episode of Bones and several other returning shows. So far, the only new shows which have caught my interest enough to actually tape, are listed below. Come next year, my guess is that The Mentalist, Fringe and a bunch of new shows are all going to get axed. What I'm taping: The Shield 248 DTV HD (but recorded in SD due to S-Video connection) The Closer 245 Saving Grace 245 Burn Notice 242 In Plain Sight 242 Eureka 244 Law & Order: CI 242 Lost 10101 OTA HD Terminator: TSCC 10071 Prison Break 10071 Heroes 10061 Chuck 10061 Supernatural 10391 Life 10061 CSI 10041 CSI: Miami 10041 CSI: NY 10041 NCIS 10041 Criminal Minds 10041 Without a Trace 10041 The Unit 10041 Bones 10071 Law & Order 10061 Law & Order: SVU 10061 Boston Legal 10101 30 Rock 10061 Reaper 10391 NEW SHOWS: Raising the Bar 245 Sons of Anarchy 248 The Cleaner 265 The Mentalist 10041 Flashpoint 10041 Fringe 10071 STILL TO COME: My Own Worst Enemy Life On Mars Sanctuary The Eleventh Hour[/code]

You clearly don't know how the EMD works. You might want to actually read the manual again.

I dunno, but I thought this season was a bit on the weak side.

The jam on a missile is not perpetual. If you disable the EMD or it times out, the missile can still re-acquire the target. Again, that depends on a variety of factors, including the type of missile. Missiles either (1) fly in a straight line or (2) spiral out of control, if their previous target turns on EMD and they lose their lock. Nothing to argue about here; especially since that code hasn't changed since BCM. But do feel free to argue amongst yourselves.

The manual states exactly what happens in the game. Your observation doesn't make it any more or less flawed. A missile that is jammed can behave in any number of ways due to a number of factors that may be in play. The straight line trajectory or spinning is an indication of a missile that has lost its target lock. The jamming tech behind the EMD is designed to do just that "cause a missile to lose its lock". Whether the missile flies in a straight line, spins, buries into a mountain or dance a jig when it does lose its lock, is patently irrelevant.

That post from July 07 is old. I just checked my dev logs and the game's online VCF and that DJP bug was later fixed in UCAWA v1.00.20 (Oct 07)

No it doesn't. The planetary terrain uses a series of height maps which are distributed amongst planets and only look different based on the procedural texture generation on them as well as a bunch of other factors (e.g. climate zones and such).

This is not a tech support issue. The EMD works exactly as designed. You don't have to use it. *moved*

ack, yeah, its not fixed in AWA, though I wonder why. Probably something to do invalidating the DRM or something like that.

uhm, were you able to install the game then? If so, what did you do to fix the problem you were having. ..this outta be good.

They always worked. They just happened to be broken in one patch update, but that has since been fixed AFAIK. Check the VCF for the games and you'll see the entry there I think.

Finally!!! I've been waiting for them all my life. Just glad they finally decided to show up before I died of old age. Foolish Canadians.

Thanks. I didn't know that. Anyway ladies, enough with the off-topic posts please.

Ah, I see. Makes sense. Well, as you can see from our 'clean' forums, we have a very - VERY - low tolerance threshold around here for such behavior. While there is no such evidence of him behaving that way here, maybe he was just having a bad day? Anyway, without seeing his posts and the reactions to it therein, its rather hard to comment. He has been around here (under a different alias) since, oh I dunno, Nixon was president? And we never had a problem with him. Around here, we take pride in meaningful not meaningless posts as well quality over quantity posts; and with those rules in play, its kinda hard to go off the deep end; though we get our own share of trolls (one was mangled, stripped naked, hung, shot, then tossed out an airlock just this past week actually) every now and again. Being hard core space combat/sim fans around here we welcome discussions of ALL things space and sci-fi related. Even those tools over at CERN - determined to end the world - get their own special topic around here.

I'm curious. How did you end up following him here?

You wot? How did being unable to INSTALL it become a matter of being able to burn it on DVD?!?!

You have no flight control of carriers in ES

No

That (602,272,087) is the size of the file. Which means that the download went fine and you are having other issues. Please follow the guidelines already posted in this thread regarding virus checkers, firewall etc.

Well, looks like they couldn't sell it. So rather than shut it down, they, well, gave it away. Read about it here.
