    question about HP Media Center and Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-1800 and ??

    If what you are talking about is using a STB and modulating it's output to channel 3 or 4 and tuning that with the analog tuner... Yup works. However the card also has S video and Composite video inputs plus headers to add more, this means you need not modulate it to an NTSC channel. You can...

    to rack mount or not to rack mount

    Also rack vs. cabinet as I think many of these responces were based on 2 post and 4 post open racks.

    X10 Wall Switches for Fans

    I used an XPFM to switch the motors and an XPDF to control the light kits then put a XPT and faceplate on the wall. I didn't get a bunch of choice having only 1 switch and 3 conductors between the switch and load. Well I wanted independent control of the motor and lights... I'm very pleased...

    AZ Rancher sued for detaining illegal border crossers.

    You can place someone under citizens arrest in most states. Being from TX I believe you can use deadly force to protect your property, rather then castle it's often called "make my day" law. Living in OK you can use deadly force to protect your life. In most cases this only applies to invasions...

    Connect PC to TV, only low resolution

    You will need to play around in the catalyst settings but generally speaking PCs only output P (progressive scan) not I (Interlaced scan) so you should try for 720p 1280x720 or 1366x768. Generally speaking Sony is one of the worst to deal with in my past experience. In the catalyst settings...
