Dec 2nd 2009 4:03PM @Nilay Patel 1) There is a CBS logo in the screen cap, not Fox. 2) Watch the video again; the anchor identifies the channel as CBS 5.

Dec 2nd 2009 3:50PM Why is the source a Fox 5 in Las Vegas and not the CBS 5 in Phoenix, which lends the image but does not get credit for it?
Archerfish Quattro video monitoring and recording system now available at Amazon {Engadget}
Nov 20th 2009 5:42PM "so that you can have as many cameras in the setup as you want, "
Their webpage says it only supports four. I think that is where the Quattro part comes in.

Media Centers not recording TV {PVR Wire}
May 24th 2006 12:20PM I started using MCE as a PVR a month ago and yesterday canceled my Tivo.
Media Center can just do so much more. Want to record two cable and two OTA HD shows at the same time? Want to copy all you DVD's uncompressed with full menus to watch with out any disc needed for play back? Add a HDD? FM radio? See who is calling your home phone? Automate you house? SEE who is at your front door? Check RSS feeds? Play music, show photos and videos locally or from other computers on your network? Do all that and stream it wirelessly anywhere else in your home? Even in HD? Yeah, Media Center and a few add-ons can do that, no prob.
The problem, I think, is that people just don’t know that much and don’t care to learn. Why think when someone will do it for you? People just want to put a box in and watch TV and MCE is something that will need some work with to get setup. Oh, and it does not help that MCE costs more, but when you get what you pay for and Tivo boxes are free…………
