![]() ![]() I moved the electronics on the top shelf to a rack, but you can imagine a 42 inch screen sitting where the 19 inch screen is in the pic: I will try to post a pic of the current setup sometime this weekend.īelow is a pic of the desk. Anyway, it is a work in progress, but I can play games in there now. I think I could get a wall mount and put it over the desk, but then I would have to look up to play games. I am still trying to think of a way to make it work out. I really need a different desk, but I got this one from my parents, so it is a touchy situation. My office has a rolltop computer desk, so I put my 42 inch LCD on it and bought a Ergotron adjustable LCD mount for my 19inch LCD monitor so I could use it, too. ![]() I love the room setup and I use the PS3 in that room quite a bit while my girlfriend is watching shows from the Lifetime network in the living room.:mrgreen: clever thinking! do you ever have problems with bluetooth signal strength?Thanks. Take a stand now and save these endangered gizmos.Nice solution in the bedroom and i also like the hdmi splitter to the living room. In fact, you shouldn’t even expect that such devices will stay on the market for use with DRM-free media (e.g., digitizing your own home movies) - after all, the manufacturers will suffer great expense to install these bogus analog hole plugs and will be forced to get permission from Hollywood and regulators before innovating. (If you want to see some sample clips at different resolutions, check out The Gadgeteer’s nice review.)īut you might not get to use the R2 or other innovations that rely on the analog hole if Hollywood gets its way. Setup is simple, and you can customize the recording resolution to suit your needs. ![]() This clever gadget is light, fitting neatly in your hand. Recording both from VHS and DVD, it worked like a charm (I didn’t test recording from a TiVo because I don’t own one, but doing so shouldn’t be any more difficult). The good folks at Neuros Technology were kind enough to give EFF a device to test out. The R2 helps you liberate your movies from their VHS chains. Free your VHS tapes: You’ve probably faced the unhappy choice between rebuying your VHS collection on DRM-restricted DVDs or lugging around a legacy player.Similarly, though region-free DVD players are available, you can use the R2 to help create a region-free copy of the movie itself. The R2 gives you a legal (albeit more cumbersome) alternative. Free your DVDs: DVD ripping software is widely available, but using it to rip a film to your computer and video iPod may violate the DMCA.Regardless, you can lawfully use the R2 to create a DRM-free copy, recording straight from your TV or TiVo. The DMCA limits removing these DRM locks, and, if the broadcast flag proposal passes, these restrictions will get even worse. Free your recorded TV content: TiVo and other PVRs restrict moving recorded video to other devices.In turn, the R2 helps you make legitimate use of your media and lawfully escape DRM restrictions. You can also output video to a display device from the R2. The video can then be put on your computer, burned to DVD, moved to your video iPod, or slotted right into your Sony PSP. Take the Neuros MPEG4 Recorder 2 (the “R2”), an endangered gizmo that digitizes analog video output and records it to a CF card or a memory stick in MPEG4 format. Last week, Congress held yet another hearing about “plugging the analog hole.” Why is Hollywood so bent on making all analog-to-digital technologies obey copyright holders’ commands? Because in an age of DRM on digital media, the analog hole is often the last refuge for fair use and for innovators trying to build new gadgets to take your rights into the digital age. ![]()
