Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a solid state drive, around 32 to 64GB, for use in my web server. The drive will contain my web sites and the operating system, either Windows Server 2008 R2 or Ubuntu. Large storage is handled by a separate RAID array, so capacity is not an issue. Rather, I am looking for the fastest, longest-lasting, and most reliable drive under $150 that is suitable to my application. Any thoughts? Thanks!"
Why do we still have channel numbers?
Why, for that matter, do we still have channels?
Sure, television is still broadcast using discrete video streams multiplexed over different frequencies, but since they're digital, there's no reason why they have to be *presented* to the viewer that way.
Why can't I just navigate through a directory of available shows, pick the show I want, and have the box sort out the nitty gritty of what channel it's on or when it's showing, without even telling me?
Just tell the box "I want to watch Chuck" and the box figures out which channel it's on.. if the show is playing now, it switches to it, otherwise it schedules a recording or a reminder. I don't care whether Chuck is on NBC or ZZZ, I just want the damn show.
Is that too much to ask?
so what would you watch if "Chuck" wasn't on? How would you go about finding another show? Channels exsist to group shows into an organized list. You've described a new method of watching TV and I think it's great that it suits your need but I don't think that it would work for the masses. Shoot, most of us with DVR's don't even watch live television we live in our previously recorded shows. :-)
