Comcast Becomes XFinity... If That's the Case How Come They Limit Our Bandwidth?
Submitted by Chadarius on Mon, 2010-02-08 14:34.Look, I don't like to bag on Comcast, but heck this is about the dumbest name ever. If you are going to have infinity in your name, you can't be going around yelling about limiting bandwidth hogs! OK Comcast?
Perhaps they are just referring to the ability for their monthly bill to become infinitely large? Or maybe they want to describe how long you need to wait at home, while missing, work for one of their repair techs to show up?
I don't get the rebranding at all. I'm pissed that some of my monthly payments was actually used to pay some marketing jock to come up with this horrid idea. Pants on the ground Comcast!

My MythTV Gets a Make Over (Just Like My Basement Family Room Did!)
Submitted by Chadarius on Fri, 2009-08-14 13:50.
Our basement remodel is done. We've got an awesome family room with bamboo flooring (bought at half price at the Habitat store - environmentally friendly!), recessed dimmable lighting (using CFL's – also environmentally friendly), and all the wires for speakers and such run through the walls! I also just ditched Comcast for Dish. I ordered a second Dish receiver just for the MythTV box.
Now I have the perfect place for my MythTV! I've purchased updated hardware for it and its going to be a really awesome family entertainment computer.
I've replaced my old MythTV guts and used it for the playroom/living room MythTV box. It still works great for all the basics, but it just wasn't going to cut it for my plans for the new MythTV box. It is going to be running all of our daily file and media server needs. I'm going to shut down our old file server to save the electricity. All of its functions (mostly file sharing and backups) will move to the new MythTV.
