Anybody know what's up with SI?
Go to IPOWER (http://www.siliconimaging.com/) and you get redirected to website hosting service iPower with the message:
"This site has been suspended
If you manage this site and have a question about why the site is not available, please contact us directly."

Did they forget to pay the bill?

Sorry for the inconvenience.

We had too much bandwidth/downloads from our site this past week.

We are working to resolve this issue with our hosting service.

Just a suggestion...

Maybe you can post bandwidth-hungry files (videos) as torrents instead. (RED camera folks do that.)

Or, maybe post them on something like drop.io and link to them.

This way your main site will never be affected regardless of the bandwidth consumed by the downloads.

Thanks for the suggestions Alex. We will be doing that now :-)

The good news is more interest and more product usage. Look for the SI-2K on set on the upcoming features:

True Grit (Matt Damon, Jeff Bridges)- Ethan & Joel Coen
Drive Angry (Nicolas Cage) - Patrick Lussier
127 Hours (James Franco) - Danny Boyle
How I spent My Summer Vacation (Mel Gibson)

SAW VII 3D

Thanks for everyones patience....
