Gezzz your lucky. DTV loves to ECM the hell out of us.:mad: Like yesterday, 8 new Cam82s entered the stream. :(
Thinking about buying one of the Avenger SE units from one of my buddies in Canada so I don't have down time.

Really? Must be a really nice ACT script...
I played with ACT for a little while. I didn't like that you have to "buy" the PPVs. I'm about ready to say the hell with free TV all together.

Don't like the idea of Tech TV doing a special on Mods, why i feel that way
once its get to mainstream people will force MS to change alot of their games and etc

I remember the old days when you had to surf for months just to get codes

maybe am a little bit scared that to many will then jump on the ban wagon then Mr gates wil be force to do something major

Hmmm it's odd that you have almost the exact setup, console wise with what I have. I have a dru-500a and both xbox and PS2. Xbox with the xecutor 2 and ps2 with messiah 2. Interesting.... Also I'm in NYC so it just strikes me as odd. :D

I'm with you Freakzilla. I think that show is only gonna hurt the scene. Its one thing if some computer/electronic hobby lovers are tinkering on a small percentage of Boxes but this could also spur MS to really get active in making it more difficult if there are a bunch of Leo Laporte wannabes trying it too.

PS it makes me cry thinking how many times we will have to see "which chip is better", "where do I get chips", "give me Evox or (insert game here)" posts in the next couple weeks :(
