Wouldn’t that make Beyaond TV better then? ;)

Well then it comes back to MythTV. It’s free, and supported by the community. But requires more time initially spent. MCE costs, upgrades cost. But have a billion dollar company behind it. Beyond TV already installed, good track record. But upgrade cost, and base OS upgrade issues. Factor in personal preferrences and you have your choice.

I think this is what it boils down to. :D

Oh and Pandora, have you looked at your site through Safari? Not so good :P

My media center uses the Kauppage Video capture card too and re: video card I currently have an internal 128mb which does the job for now. I don’t think you gonna need Beyond TV or anything else for what matters… media center does it all

Mmm? Are we talking about the IP address to get to my site?

And I wouldn’t wish Tier 1 tech support on anyone…

Actually, that info is a hugh help. Thank you. It does explain that there was a change and recently. A crash and restore from backup is also a big indicator as to why there would be a descrepency in the config. If the the server had only a old back-up to recover from or only a partial back-up that would explain how the config was left incomplete whether human error or the back-up had info of a non-complete website. Unfortunately the info doesn’t answer the question of whos info is old. I’d like to give my ISP the benefit of the doubt but it’s the primary telco here so that means it’s large and monopolistic. Therefore not terribly concerned with the .0001%(i.e. evanescing.org). And I am not about to let myself experience an hour of tier 1 techsupport in order to get to someone to take a look at the DNS record.

Pandora what is your DNS server IP? Maybe I can bypass this whole problem…

TC, what you’re seeing with the cPanel page is correct. that happens with all name based virtual domains. (shared hosting) so that’s nothing we can do. because the server is looking for for the name evanescing.org you’ll always get the “there’s no website configured at this address” thing.

I did some digging around (absolutely no pun intended there for you techie types) and found that the settings are fine. There are some kooky settings for the DNS there, but nothing out of super ordinary that would cause some issues.

if there were some issues with the server in the middle of the month I would suspect that the name servers you’re using TC are caching the info, and could be bringing some funkiness to you.

that’s my first impression at least. :)
