Re: Music through an inverter on your television
GordonThree wrote: Possible, but you could easily wreck your DVR using it while driving. My HOPPER and the VIP922 DVR it replaced both have stern warnings right on the receiver to NOT MOVE while plugged in, and the manual goes into more detail. This is because the DVR uses a mechanical hard disk drive to store the recordings... but it's not like a laptop drive that is designed to take some rough and tumble. It is a video drive, designed to run for 1000s of hours without complaint. Pandora is cool, but Google Music all-access is cooler. I have both, and use both regularly, but I'll be using Google on my upcoming off-grid road trip because it gives you unlimited downloads. I can pick all the artists, albums, or songs I like and save them to my phone (32gb phone can hold 100s of hours.) Once I drop off the grid, the music I downloaded keeps playing now from the phone's memory instead of streaming from the cell towers. Wow. Great info.365Views0likes0CommentsRe: A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}

I think that the saga of Old Fella and the subsequent efforts of rescuing strays / no kill animal shelter qualifies Dixie Flyer for this title. If it is acceptable to Dixie Flyer, how about if we all go to the Animal Planet site and enter the very deserving dad of Old Fella for this title. Note that the nomination form does require some personal information about Dixie Flyer (real name, address, email, birthdate, phone #) so a PM to/from Dixie Flyer will probably be required. Edit: Dixie Flyer gave his permission to post his information - see next post. Good Idea, TomW2281Views0likes0Comments
