Well sheesh, if that's all you wanted you just needed to move north, we've had that on cable for ages!

I'm still waiting for the Deuce in HD, but I noticed we got NESN. Slowly but surely channels are being added....

I think NESN was just about the first HD channel we got, as soon as NESN-HD went live. At this point we get:

CBS
PBS
HDNet
HDNet Movies
INHD 1
INHD 2
Discovery
ESPN
ESPN 2
NESN
Fox Sports New England
NFL Network
HBO
Starz
Showtime
Skinemax

Local Fox, ABC, and NBC are due to go HD this November...

GBmini.net is hacked! It appears in all .html pages, but not in php pages like the blog.
Are you still on site5, Ian?
Just checked, and mine seems OK.
I wonder what site5 server he is on, and if it applies to all sites on his server (perhaps they modified the html generation, and didn't get into the actual account and change data)

The cause seems to be lax security within MovableType. It creates all files with permissions 0666 - which means readable AND WRITEABLE by all!
My MT.SSI file had been replaced, so instead of the right hand column of links, etc, there was an overlay graphic

MT.SSI replaced, and MT default now 0644 - can't understand why the default is 0666.

But luckily, an easy hack and therefore minimal (zero) damage - don't believe it has anything to do with Site5.

Glad to hear it was simple. I wonder why that group had an interest in targeting your site?

So yesterday, while I was taking a few minutes to relax after getting out of jury duty early, I sat down to watch some TV, and found an episode of Knight Rider!
And to my amazement, it was in Hi-Def!

Then there was a tag for Voom.
Remember that? It was the HD-Only sat service, that folded. I forgot that Dish took them over. I also forgot the rediculous number of hd networks they created.
What I didn't realize, is I had them all, right there in front of me!

I thought the 25 HD channels assumed 5-10 of them were local, but no, those are in addition. I just checked the linup again:
Animania HD
Family Room HD
GamePlay HD
Discovery HD Theater
Equator HD
DISH Network PPV in HD
Film Fest HD
HDNet Movies
Kung Fu HD
Monsters HD
World Cinema HD
HDNews
Rave HD
ESPN HD
ESPN2 HD
NFL Network HD
Rush HD
WorldSport HD
Gallery HD
HDNet
HGTV HD
TNT HD
Treasure HD
Ultra HD
Universal HD

That doesn't mention all the premiums in HD (I have HBO HD free for 3 months...) and all the local HD stations which I also get.

That's right. An HD network just of Monsters. It's HD Overkill. And its great. I think I need to take a day off to watch TV...

Does the Kung Fu station only show the original, or "The Legend Returns" as well? I am Caine, I will help you.

<--- waits to see Josh's experience with Dish... may consider them over Fios TV at the end of the year...


Religion is like a huge dog. If it's yours it's very friendly and comforting, but it scares the heck out of everyone else.

Fine with me but you've got nowhere to park
Or sit for that matter, unless a box is good enough!

Has anyone noticed anything squirelly w/ their PC since they went to gbmini.net? I wasn't able to complete an online cc transaction yesterday, and me being a suspicious person, there's always the distinct possibility that a hacked site could have dropped a keystroke logger on my PC. I've run an AV scan, nothing 'yet'.
