Need for Speed ProStreet Demo Out Today
I LOVE racing video games.
I have played clear through all Need for Speed games since the original Hot Pursuit (1998).
I was so excited today to see on the Major Nelson Blog that the demo for the new game is posted on XBOX Live Arcade.
Now I am so anxious to get home to get it downloaded. WOOHOO...
1080i Racing here I Come.

Follow up on: SFCN – TiVo – HD – CableCard
Well, to keep it short, we no longer us SFCN for our cable service.
I think it is very unfortunate that i was not able to get a response from them to get this resolved. I called Comcast last Thursday and they came out Friday morning and set it all up.
The kids TiVo works just the same as it always did. My TiVo now has HD channels (love it). Our extra TV in the loft now has a digital box that features On-Demand. My kids think that is pretty great as it comes with whole lot of Children's programming.
SFCN does have a HD DVR available, but there is a waiting list. No Thanks.
In summary, SFCN is a decent cable provider. Unless you want to use something that is able to use a CableCARD. Such as a TiVo.
Now if Comcast can just catch up with the latest DirecTV HD announcements.
Buh-bye SFCN. Hello Comcast!
SFCN – TiVo – HD – CableCard
Not too long ago I got a new TiVo HD. Since I live in Spanish Fork I naturally subscribe to the cable service from the city (SFCN). It works great, has great channel line-ups and the Internet is pretty good.
The downside I see that they I can't record any HD content. I DO receive the HD channels via my analog cable. It causes the local OTA channels to show up in the 100+ range. (i.e. OTA:5-1 = Cable:111-3).
I called TiVo to attempt to resolve this issue. They said the only way is with CableCARD's. They gave me a case number and let me know they would get it resolved for me.
Apparantly the FCC says that if a cable provider offers cable boxes (SFCN Does) that they are required to offer CableCARD's. A year ago, I asked sfcn via email and they indicated to me that they do not offer them.
Ugh. The question remains whether or not I jump ship to Comcast so I can have CableCARD's OR go with DirecTV and give up TiVo altogether (not really interested in that).
I guess time will tell how this goes. Hopefully John Bowcut from Spanish Fork City will get back to me with some good news.
Where Am I?
i love comcast
