  1. yeah, that's how I knew about it.
  2. I was just able to migrate my xbox live account to the United States, which allowed me to install the Hulu Plus app (plus there are a ton of other apps available to me now which I haven't tried yet) I signed up for Hulu using a fake US zip code (using the numbers in my postal code and adding 00 to the end of it). The key to this is to have the unblock-us account. It was a bit of a difficult work around but it's working. Hulu is really good.

    Don't tell my wife, but I think I am actually in love with Sierra Hull. well, not really but she's pretty awesome
  5. There are some advantages for that player for sure. It seems to support every file format known but unblock-us does not support Hulu on it, yet. No one device seems to give you everything you need (or want). There is definitely room for some company to come out with the do everything solution and take control of the market. I looked into the Tabloo. I don't think that would do much for rural folks.
  6. The mlb.com account I will get will also help me destroy c-towns and elemeno in the baseball pool I got into with them.
  7. I've been researching the Roku, I think I'm going to get it. I still have the original Roku, which is just for audio/internet radio. It has come a long way since then. I'm pretty lucky with my internet provider that I have unlimited bandwidth allowance. I also have netflix and I have unblock-us. My biggest problem is my wife, lol. She's been the resistance. There is a way to sign up with hulu plus also, with a combination of unblock-us and using a fake zip code. I've also discovered that with unblock-us and mlb.com, you can watch Blue Jays games. That's a big issue. I watched almost every Jays game last year and if I lose that, things won't be good. mlb.com has a blackout on all local mlb games, and in Canada that means Blue Jays. Apparently unblock-us can get you around this. NFL is another issue I will have to figure out. I'm currently downloading a couple seasons of Imagination Movers and Wiggles for the boy so that should take care of him.

    it's about 10 hour drive give or take. The location is amazing, nestled right in the Cumberland Valley. It was pretty cold last year so if you plan on attending, bring some warm clothes.

    Del Yeah! Killer lineup.
  10. Thanks for that AD, as suspected I won't get much where I'm at. Two, maybe 3 channels. I notice a lot of homes in my village have big towers, not sure I want to go there. Sounds like I'm going to have to come over for some record listening and a couch tour event at your place sometime soon NW to check out your setup. Is there a liquor store next door yet?
  11. I'm ready to cut the cable and boost the internet speeds. This is always the best place to get advice on such things. I've been doing some research but am kind of overwhelmed with info. Anybody have advice on this? I don't really want to do the apple TV thing, I'm not ruling it out but I want whatever I do to be a little more "adaptable" (aka free!). Anybody have any experience with chromecast or android based devices? I may eventually have some one like elemeno build me a PC to use as part of a home entertainment device but not now. I've thought about using an HD antenae but I'm not sure how well that would work for me being that I live in the boonies. Thanks folks.
  12. Glad to hear Josh is back with the band Awesome poster by the way. Will there be prints made of that?
  13. Those Vegas shows are gonna be killer.
  14. Don't lick the toads. The date of this show is Feb 21 btw. I agree with New Rider, don't miss out on your chance to get on the Toadhouse bandwagon, featuring jambands.ca's own Prost shredding the guitar. They are not only a really great bunch of guys but hugely talented. Nothing better than a trio of good players. They do some great original tunes and usually have a few beauty's by that band Phish.
  15. You can take the boy out of Cape Breton, but you can't take the Cape Breton out of the boy.
  16. The 2006 FUNdraiser was the weekend before I wrote my Red Seal. To this day, I have no idea how I passed that exam.
  17. I like where this is going. That one in 2006 was epic.
  18. The business of the Beatles continues to grow
