General Discussions / Streaming Anime via TVersity + DirecTV receiver over LAN?

« on: August 30, 2011, 08:48:56 pm »

I looked into this in the past, tried it out, and failed. If I recall correctly, the issue was that TVersity couldn't transcode over to the DirecTV receiver, which if I understand right, could be fixed with ffdshow or something.

I probably should look into this a bit more, but does anyone have any experience with this?

General Discussions / Any recommendations for learning Japanese?

« on: August 30, 2011, 09:10:30 am »

I would love to learn Japanese, specifically for watching Anime or reading Manga, but also being able to use an Operating System in Japanese.

Right now, I use a variety of methods:

http://www.realkana.com/ (for learning Hiragana and Katakana)
http://www.hesjapanese.com/ (for learning stroke order of Hiragana and Katakana characters)
Rosetta Stone (for words and etc)
Anime (not sure if helps or not, but maybe hearing Japanese will help me learn :p)

Anyone else have any tips that might be helpful?
