Fowler back at Liverpool! That's a turn up for the books - he never really turned out to be as good as his potential promised but it's great to have him back home! He'll be a great boost to our inconsistant strike force. Looking forward to Portsmouth v Liverpool tonight. I might even watch the scum Man U playing Wolves. :lol...

Anyone can tune to them with the right equipment. FTV channels are encripted, but do not require a subscription, just the right decoder card. that can will...

You can set up AVG to update the virus definition on next computer start and not notify you when it does. This will make the experience seamless. Also, AVG uses 3MB of RAM on my setup. AVG will also work great for those of you that have replaced the windows shell with MP on startup.

I was just looking through the source and it appears that there is already a transcoding library as part of core that will convert dvr-ms to mpeg on the fly, not sure how it is implemented or how to use the feature, but it looks like it is there already.

So, whatever you think of any hystorical event, be...
