Wait... I thought cool and geeky were synonyms ;-) I guess I've been

Anyways back on topic... I'll look into mythstreamtv, hadn't heard of
that before. With mythstream, could you start streaming it say an hour
before you want to watch the show, then start watching it in decent
quality? That might be a good way to get girls... errr maybe not if cool
and geeky aren't the same thing anymore :-P
