You can order the Vizio CoStar for $99 stand alone only from Vizio's web site here: http://www.vizio.com/costar/overview I am debating the purchase, but don't need it. Would do it just for the remote since i have Boxee, Roku, Plex, Xbox and a mac mini. A little redundant already. If you get...

A Dish rep called me this weekend to see how the Roku was working for me and asked me if I was missing AMC. I said what I really will miss is the Walking Dead. she then said she would credit my account for the price of the season pass for this new season on AMC, which would provide commercial...

Scott, thanks for the video. I love the remote control. This blows away my Logitech dinovo mini and my boxee box remote. I am not to keen on the socials networking stuff, but it is a huge play for the masses. My wife would definitely love it, but I like my privacy. :) I do love the tagging too...

If your NAS is DLNA compatible you will see your files. In the DLNA thread you can read about it further. I am able to see 720p mkv files. Keep in mind DLNA does not let you rewind or fast forward. You are better off getting a Boxee Box or a Roku with Plex to see and control almost very file...

NBC is horrible. HD to Sd back and forth, audio drop outs, etc. I have seen this on OTA, Comcast and D*. This has happened for years in the Miami/Fort Lauderdale market. I always thought it was my market, but now I see it is more than my area. With all of their issues, I really hate that they...

What about the NFL Network?

Sometimes I crack up reading the negativity. . . Ford or Chevy, Honda or Toyota, chocolate or vanilla, Republican or Democrat? CHOICES!!! We all have choices. I prefer Sunday Ticket and local HD to FoodHD, A&E HD, etc. That is my choice, and it works for me. We could argue this forever, and...

OK, some of these might be in here, but I couldn't resist. You might be a SatelliteGuy: . . . if you have your satellite recievers set up to a Slingbox, just to watch your systems remotely in a place where you can't get a spot beam, or install a satellite dish. . . . if you have more...

One box I bought through Value Electronics and got it this Friday The first I but on www.bestbuy.com, for store pick-up last Saturday. It is in BB's ad this week, but few stores have them. Tuesday and Thursday are shipment days at BB, but if you order through www.valueelectronics. com, you...

I am not upset about it as I will be watching NFL all day. I just started a thread to inform others, which was merged here, and was curious how it was decided. Since I will be watching Da Bears, and many other teams play today, I will be living with it just fine. :D Go Cowboys!

I had the install done by a D* installer. he told me he was a subcontractor of Mastac. I may be in the minority group on this, but I always pay the installers extra cash which ensures a great job. As much as I enjoy watching TV, NFL ST, and spent on HR20's, I think it is a worthy investment. I...

I checked all transponders on all satellites and my lowest was 89. All others where in high 90's. I did a brand new install and took the old satellite down. I had the dish mounted higher on the house, and cut tree branches, thus the vast signal improvement. On the old dish I had everything in...

HDNET Off Until 6:30PM EST For NFL ST Heads up! HDNET was turned off last night in preparation for NFL Sunday Ticket. The Guide reads, "HD NET will return at 6:30pm EST". I am going to assume that Mark Cuban will not be too happy about this.

More Updates and Thoughts on My HR20's So far the biggest issue for me, and many others, has been MPEG-4 locals. Many users are keeping the HR10's, or SD Tivo's, connected to ensure that they do not miss a recording. MPEG-4's thus far are very unpredictable. For example, I recorded the same...

SD never Looked Better I have (2) Hr20's up and running. I have had one for a week now, and teh other just came in yesterday. I agree SD never looked better. I did learn a few tricks to get a better picture for those of you that have it hooked up to HD TV's. In the display screen, I left...
