Time for a new city
Over the next week or thereabouts, I’ll be leaving Elk Grove and Sacramento County behind. I’m not moving far – just to Roseville in the neighbouring Placer County. We were going to have Surewest provide our TV and internet but the inability to use the dual tuner TiVo unfortunately overshadowed the possibility of 10 Mb/s up and down. Who knows what the future brings as I prepare to step into the world of High Definition TV later in the year, but I don’t think that Surewest has the necessary CableCard setup that HDTivo requires. A Surewest rep did attempt to sell us on their home rolled DVR, but once you’ve used TiVo, nothing else quite lives up to the experience. I’m finally going to complete the unholy shoehorning of a Soekris board into the skin of a dead piece of Linksys equipment, so I’ll probably post on that when I get round to it.
