15:46:43 <damian> any of you guys know anything about set top boxes?
15:47:18 <Simulacrum> what kind of anything? and what kind of box?
15:47:22 <Simulacrum> digital? HD? SD?
15:47:45 <damian> well, i didn't really know there were different kinds .. so keep going! :P
15:48:10 <damian> thinking about buying one, just want to know what ot look for
15:49:54 <Simulacrum> do you want it for the extra channel free to air thing? That's Digital
15:50:10 <damian> no idea what that is
15:50:14 <damian> mainly want it for better reception
15:50:20 <Simulacrum> if you just want a HD (I think that's actually digital too) or SD, SD is just a good reception version of an antenna
15:50:24 <Simulacrum> SD would be what you want then
15:50:39 <Simulacrum> though, now that I think about it I can't quite remember
15:50:49 <Simulacrum> you'll probably only be able to buy 'digital set top'
15:50:53 <damian> just receives normal tv on a digital band or whatever
15:51:02 <Simulacrum> yeah
15:51:06 <Simulacrum> you can get more channels with some of them
15:51:10 <Simulacrum> like ABC2
15:51:16 <damian> yeah
15:51:20 <Simulacrum> and I think offset normal channels (eg, played half hour/hour later)
15:51:23 <damian> what's the difference with those, lol
15:51:30 <damian> ahh
15:51:32 <Simulacrum> abc/abc2 are two different channels
15:51:36 <Simulacrum> from memory the rest of them are just offset
15:52:11 <damian> http://www.dse.com.au/cgi-bin/dse.storefront/44b5c5720a9007ac273fc0a87f9c0750/Product/View/G2079
15:52:20 <damian> (don't rip me because of dse :P)
15:52:51 <Simulacrum> lol
15:52:57 <Simulacrum> I was about to say we sell digital set top boxes
15:52:59 <Simulacrum> ...same brand too
15:53:10 <damian> Legend, ey!
15:53:13 <Simulacrum> ...and they dropship
15:53:19 <damian> dropship?
15:54:05 <damian> btw, were you able to work out an approx. freight price for the boxes?
15:55:36 <Simulacrum> not yet, we'd have to know the exact dimensions and exact weight to even approximate price
15:56:21 <Simulacrum> haha
15:56:24 <Simulacrum> damian
15:56:35 <Simulacrum> DSE price for that kit: $179inc
15:57:07 <Simulacrum> Our Price: $155inc
15:57:54 <Simulacrum> hmm, actually, I'll have to investigate it you get the remote control with that one
15:57:57 <damian> well go on, you're not going to get dimensions/weight sitting on irc! :P
15:58:28 <stefan> what do you need that for?
15:58:36 <damian> need what for?
15:58:36 <Simulacrum> ah, $175 maybe.
15:58:46 <stefan> dimensions/weight
15:58:51 <Simulacrum> cases for damian
15:58:55 <damian> because wiretek don't quote shipment prices
15:59:02 <Simulacrum> if we don't know either we can't really approximate shipping
15:59:11 <Simulacrum> because we might say, $40
15:59:14 <Simulacrum> freighter's might say $80
15:59:20 <damian> and they don't deliver to people who aren't you
15:59:31 <damian> total?
15:59:46 <Simulacrum> yeah, for the 5 boxes, but that's random numbers
15:59:50 <damian> yeah, lol
16:00:02 <Simulacrum> If we're right, and it's a ticket per box then it's about $35 for the 5 cases
16:00:12 <Simulacrum> but if they decide they're too big or too heavy (usually weight) then it'll be more
16:00:21 <damian> to get it from adelaide -> melbourne
16:00:28 <damian> doubt they'll be too heavy
16:00:34 <damian> aluminium + plastic
16:00:50 <Simulacrum> Yeah, also have to factor in original freight ost
16:00:52 <Simulacrum> *cost
16:01:03 <damian> yeah
16:12:14 <damian> i'm so used to getting spam saying 'Microsoft Windows rah rah rah $10!' that when i get legit. email from Microsoft i delete it without thinking
16:20:23 <Simulacrum> haha

22:12:17 <Carson> aye... i've decided i'm having a small lan here tomorrow night, anyone else wanna come?
22:12:33 <stefan> lol
22:12:43 <stefan> for old times sake, I'll see if I can
22:13:02 <stefan> just as long as you don't all get drunk, I still can't drink :S
22:13:08 <stefan> well, too drunk anyway
22:13:15 <stefan> fine to laugh at, but not if you all pass out :P
22:13:26 <Carson> sounds fair :D
22:13:42 <Carson> atm, its me and clinton (a guy from work)
22:13:49 <Carson> we may drink, but i doubt it'll be excessively
22:30:44 <Simulacrum> haahaha
22:30:51 <Simulacrum> not sure I can actually -do- anything at a lan
22:30:58 <Simulacrum> don't have much installed and I'm running a shit computer
22:31:29 <stefan> not like that stopped us before, a lot of it's more about catching up, and a bit of leeching than games
22:31:39 <stefan> and I think q3 was the most popular anyway from memory
22:35:02 <Carson> yeah
22:58:11 <Simulacrum> yeah
22:58:18 <Simulacrum> usually q3 all the way
22:58:36 <stefan> just need ut2k7 released already
22:58:45 <Simulacrum> nah
22:58:48 <stefan> and all of us insane video cards
22:58:49 <Simulacrum> because ytou'll be the only person running it]
22:58:50 <Simulacrum> fucker
22:58:56 <stefan> my card probably wouldn't hack it
22:58:59 <stefan> it's only a x600
22:59:04 <Simulacrum> you... oh wait, carson too really
22:59:09 <Simulacrum> only people who can afford the cards :P
23:00:32 <Carson> i could afford it, but i wouldn't bother upgrading for it
23:00:42 <Carson> i don't get that much enjoyment out of games anymore
23:00:50 <Carson> also because they just don't seem that good...
23:01:05 <stefan> yeah, the only game I'd consider upgrading for would be UT
23:22:40 <Simulacrum> yeah
23:22:45 <Simulacrum> I highly doubted you would, but you can at least afford it
23:22:51 <Simulacrum> not sure about andy, I acn't that's for sure
23:23:03 <Simulacrum> I would think he's got more important things to spend money on (car)
