just want i said in a blog post:

We are not sure if this would be a good idea when the company could easily form partnerships. They already have one big one with Nokia. Nokia itself would love to get into the Tablet PC market and they could simply expand their deal with Microsoft to launch devices based on the Windows 8 platform.

Microsoft rumored to be planning to launch self-branded Windows 8 Tablets!

I'm facing the above problem from yesterday. Only with YouTube.Very annoying.
Is it just me facing this issue? Has reliance started throttling?

STB hanging problem.

Posted: 12 Jun 2011 03:25 AM PDT

Past few months I'm facing this peculiar problem of STB hanging.
To describe my problem, no matter on which channel I am at and say I press the channel info button or chanel change or the volume button on my remote, the picture freezes and then none of my remote buttons are functional nor is the STB, even the power button does not work if I have to switch off the STB.
The only option left for me is to switch OFF / ON the main switch (power cycle).
The problem is solved, but then after a few hours again it happens.
The frequency is around 6-7 times a day.
Can you please let me know if you guys are facing or had faced in the past the same problem?
What is the reason for this and the solution?
Please let me know.

my quest for a beam connection.!! O.O

I also got reports that Beam is taking quite some time in giving new connections now....... I think they are taking time in providing new connection if there is already a distribution box in your building or near that connection are being giving in 1-2 days otherwise it might take a couple of weeks, I know some one who has applied over 3 week ago they are going to give him the connection but Beam rep said it would take 2 more weeks.
