    DIRECTV NOW Launching in November!

    I had been following DirecTV Now on other forums, but I just ran across this. Anyway, my questions are: -Will this work away from a subscribers home network? -Will there likely be special software to download on a computer or is is possible that it will simply be a website that you log into?

    ATSC Tuners With HDMI Ports

    I have a few of the legacy converter boxes. Specifically, several of the Zenith DTT901s and a couple of the DISH Network DTV Pals. Anyway, I am staring to look around for what new boxes are available that include an HDMI port. What are some of my better choices? I know when the earlier...

    RCA 8? Mobile TV Tablet

    I just thought that I would post an update to this because I did buy an RCA Model DMT580DU for one of my wife's presents on Christmas 2013. I thought about buying from Radio Shack, but I found a better price online. When she opened this on Christmas Eve, I think she was somewhat surprised...

    Android Specifications For SlingBox With DISH Network 722k

    Thank you very much for the reply. Yes, that is a good reminder about the home internet. I have DSL because I can't get cable where I live, so that very well might be the biggest limiting factor of all! Most of the time it is pretty good. Sometimes I listen to TV audio on my drive to work...

    Android Specifications For SlingBox With DISH Network 722k

    I have both a Sling Adapter and a Sling PRO-HD connected to my DISH Network 722k receiver. Sling works okay on my Garminfone, but it can be slow on start up and slow to respond. My phone currently is a Garminfone, which is on T-Mobile, and is only capable of 3G. I am considering a new...

    Portable DTVs

    Does anybody make a decent portable DTV currently? Maybe something along the lines of a 5 inch or 7 inch? I have seen a few here and there, but I have been sort of underwhelmed by what I have seen.

    I am looking to improve my wifi "footprint" around my home. I already have an 802.11g modem/router from my internet service provider, but I am thinking that since I want to improve coverage around the farm, I might just as well get an 802.11g, preferably one with a removable antenna and...
