Forget the apple tablet this is where it is, come to me.
Question answered. Thanks.

Bit Rate Override

Using the remote, hit Home Home Home Home Home Rewind Rewind Rewind FastForward FastForward (that's 5 Homes, 3 Rewinds, 2 FastForwards), keypresses about 1/2 second apart. You may have to try several times and the trick is to make the keypresses spaced out far enough. (Remember, the last two are >, which are on the bottom row of buttons, not the < and > keys to the side of the select button.) This will take you into debug mode. On this screen you would see something like this:

(that's 5 Homes, 3 Rewinds, 2 FastForwards)

THIS WORKS FOR NOW, I've felt a major slow down for the past 2 weeks and this hack come in handy
I've been using PS3 Media Server with my PS3 [ http://code.google.com/p/ps3mediaserver/ ]
and it works like a charm from my vista machine. 03/17/09 I ordered Popcorn Hour A-110 ships directly from Hong Kong.. I think, I can not wait to take it for a spin.
I use both ... Netflix One at a time (unlimited streaming) and Blockbuster for "new releases", Netflix throttled me long ago.
16 that's... wow that's, I mean, I can't believe, wow
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I'm looking for a pair of quality headphones that aren't seemingly made of glass. I'm an avid BMXer which causes me to frequently bash on any type of technology that joins me for my daily riding. I've been through the higher quality headsets in the Skullcandy line as these are supposed to be built for "abuse," which is laughable. I cant wear earbuds or canal buds, as my large ears seem to have a repelling property upon anything that sits in them. Wired or Bluetooth doesn't really matter, but I need something that can hold up to taking a few hits every now and again. I'm trying to keep 'em under $150. Thanks!"
