I know this is off-topic, but I'm hoping some replies can keep me using EPG123 and WMC as my DVR.
I just got the dreaded letter from Comcast: MPEG-4 is coming, and, unless I'm gravely mistaken, my Ceton InfiniTV 4s will not support it, though my CableCARDs will. I like Ceton, generally speaking, but I'm not sure about their long-term viability. What, if any, similar solutions to my problem are there? I'm loath to go back to a Comcast STB/DVR, and don't really want to go TiVo, though it was my first DVR on DirecTV back in the day (ah, the heady daze of direct access to the Linux OS, FTP'ing copy-free recordings, etc.
). I have until April 10 or so, though I'd like to have it sorted before my SD subscription comes up for auto-renewal. I'll be doing research soon, but since I just got the letter, I figured I'd throw it out there to my brothers in arms.
Any help may just get Gary some more beer $$$
Cheers.
