Newstand Buyers will find that the packaging shows Midtown Madness 2 included, but this is not the case. The Full Free Game CD offered is Midtown Madness 1: Chicago Edition. We Apologise for the error.

TV tuners

The review of TV tuners were great.I would like to share some information that would be useful for other users also.
The Mercury card & Pinnacle Dazzle TV tuners are repackaged version of LIFEVIEW FlyTV Prime 3X Series.
It works best with the software from LIFEVIEW.The software contains TV / Video viewing feature, still image capture and motion video recoding to MPEG1/2/4 function.It is free to download at
*www.lifeview.com.tw/html/downloads/internal_tv/flytv_prime_3x_series.htm
Mercury ships the software over 4 years old.This WHQL certified driver will surely improve the test centre scores of the card.Regarding non availability of STEREO TV in india is mainly due to non compatability of stereo signals to older TV sets here.
If cable operator transmits stereo sound,in the older monoTV sets,the LEFT and RIGHT channels will cancel each other so no sound will be heard in these TV sets.

Ya the contents are very good, and the price is also normal for a Anniversary Issue.

Thanks Digit and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

Hey Raaabo, on the cardboard cover of Magazine, Midtown Madness is misleadingly advertised as Midtown Madness 2! Any explanation?

I don't think the price is justified...I don't feel happy paying in excess for games like Midtown Madness. Also the cover story, though should be informative to read, doesn't sound particularly *interesting* as a cover story for Annivarsary issue...that's just me though. :roll:

Lastly, Happy Anniversary! :)
 
Happy Anniversary! This issue's gonna be really cool. I've still not got my copy and I'm waiting for it. But why is it that everyone gets it before I get my hands on it.

DIGIT CHEATS ON PRIZES. ONE OF OUR EMPLOYEE WON THE DESKTOP CONTEST FEW MONTHS BACK. STILL HE NEVER RECIEVED HIS PRIZE. WHEN ASKED ABT THIS TO DIGIT TEAM , THEY SAID THEIR PRIZE TEAM MEMBERS LEFT THE OFFICE. THIS IS SUCH A SHAME THAT DIGIT REVIEWS ALL THE S/W PRODUCTS , BUT THET DON'T HAVE TIME TO SEE THEIR OWN ASS.....ITS JUST A START, AM GONNA SPREAD THIS & GOIN TO TAKE LEGAL ACTIVITES ABT THEIR CHEATING ACT.......DONT PROMISE IF YOU CAN'T AFFORD FOR IT. SHAME ON YOU DIGIT & SHAME ON ALL DIGIT TEAM. :twisted:

Hey Happy Anniversry

But plz tell us why u say MM2 and give MM1 and I wud have really liked if u had given Encyclopaedia Brittannica CD ( even a stripped down version like student edition wud have done) instead of Quiz master The price was really big -- I had an a night long row with my parents abt the cost I do agree itss a bit more May be 150 wud have done ( Unless u were charging for MM and BQM)

PLz be considerate abt prices

PS-- Guys Fast Track Books are really suffering inqualty the best was AV issue since than quality has been going down PLZ be considerate and I dint like idea of Fast Track to MS Office (every one is so used to it- I say u shud also include parallel matter abt OpenOffice.org I am no Anti MS zealot bt the thing is that MS Office is so common )
