Just a reminder

FinsnFur · November 22, 2008, 08:55:05 PM

Just a reminder that after Feb17th 09 if you still haven't converted your computer over to HD you may have difficulty viewing the Fins and Fur Forums.

After Feb17th Fins and Fur will be broadcasting in High Definition and will not be received by older computers.
You have two options at this point.

Purchase an up to date computer capable of receiving the BlueRay High Definition signal.
or...purchase a converter box and have it installed.

Thanks for the reminder Jim,

Just picked up my converter earlier this week. They also threw in the html inverter conversion remote at no extra charge. I was impressed by the excellent customer service. I don't want to miss a day of F&F!?!???

WTF are you guys talking about?

edit: or did I just take the bait?

How the sam hill do I tell if this laptop can do whatever the heck you are talking about. Telus phoned yesterday and said I had to update my aircard too. I'm beginning to think the old pencil and paper may have to be my answer to this tech stuff.

never checked when I got this new pc if it had the conversion built in.

I'm sure I can rig something up

I can't afford another upgrade to my tech toys. So I guess I'll have to make do with the analog version of FnF. Will the old IP address still work or do I have to redirect to another modulator box?

I just got a new Discombobulator, its a BS-U81. Will that work?

Jim,

You are mean and nasty. I love it.

Jerry

P.S. Do you have any extra converters that you would be able to sell?

Bopeye · November 23, 2008, 05:02:03 PM

I found a coverter on the black market yesterday. It should work fine.

FinsnFur · November 23, 2008, 05:02:47 PM

I dont have any no Jerry.
But I have been told that a digital camera can be used as a temp or in place of the converter.

The digital camera must be USB ready, and have a digital display on it.
Plug the digital camera into a USB port on your computer, turn it on, and then begin to log onto the forums as you normally would.

JUST BEFORE the page trys load, click the shutter button on your camera.
The cameras display will now be used as a temporary monitor and you'll be able to view the forums.

Man!!!
I'm glad I got my converter before they ran out. I have enough trouble reading the display screen on my Scorpion remote to try to read F&F on my camera screen. I am pleased that my html inverter conversion remote has a larger screen. At least we don't have to worry about it til Feb. 17!!
