DVD Recorders, Video Recorders

2007-04-10T17:18:00.001-07:00

What is the below in a DVD Recorder or Video Recorder

* Twin tuner - Typically allows you to record one digital channel whilst watching another digital channel.
* EPG - Electronic Programme Guide (an on-screen TV listings service for easy selection of shows to record) - Look for something with at least a 7 day EPG
* Disk size - PVRs have different sized hard-disks. If you're likely to record and store a lot of shows, consider a box with a larger drive
* Series Link - Set-and-forget option to mark a favourite show to record future episodes in sequence on the same channel

Video Conferencing Through Skype

2006-11-01T14:21:00.000-08:00

The New Skype Beta allows you to have a one on one video chat

But to have a video conference, for this you need a plugin

This is where vSkype aKa Festoon comes in.

This plugin lets you hold video conference between your skype as well as Google Talk friends

Ofcourse they also need to have vSkype installed on their computer

Another thing is when you invite someone to the conference they get a message , with a link, which looks more like an invitation to download again, and people don't click that. But that has to be clicked, once someone clicks that he has an option to either join the conference(if u have vSkype installed already) or download it.

They could have used a better way of doing the invitations

How to view the songs you are listening on Real Player in MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger

2006-10-31T18:19:00.000-08:00

Keywords : Real to MSN, Real2MSN, Hear Real Media on MSN Messenger , Real Player MSN, Windows Live Messenger

Because I am working with Windows Live Messenger, this one gives a little problem

Click Here to Download Real2MSN v1.0

the latest version 1.1 doesn't even work, but theabove on 1.0 works with Windows Live Messenger

But this is what you have to be clear with

If you have a playlist open or any other real media window opened while you hearing a song, the Real2MSN will give you an error

So to hear the songs you playing on Real Player (tested on real player 10), have the most basic interface open, and just Turn on "What I am listening to" in your Windows Live Messenger

Test Included:
Real Player 10
Windows Live Messenger 8.0
Real2MSN 1.0

PS: Test Failed with Music2MSN 1.1
