    Review: AT&T U-VERSE

    I had a similar issue, in that my home security system won't function with ATT IP phone. The rep said that if I had land line phone from ATT it would not affect TV/Internet price. I asked for a install (it was ATT land line before and shouldn't require anything other than throwing a switch)...

    Can I upgrade my VIP 622 to 722 without a new contract?

    What is interesting about the article is the author is writing about a Motorola STB. Most Cisco, Motorola, and Directv boxes are Energy Star rated that tops out at slightly under 30Watts. Yes we have no bananas (or Echostar receivers).:D

    less than 4 weeks to end

    1 year committment. The good 1000 things. The bad no 3D selection with 1 channel at 10 bucks. That, for me is an 800 pound gorilla.:D

    Cinemax and HBO have been added

    I may be wrong, didn't Dish allow for attrition to take care of most of the non MPEG2 receivers, so that Dish bore minimul costs in switch to H.264? I don't seem to remember a cost to subscribers for that shift. H.264 has been around several years and surely Direct has been dealing with a...

    Home Theater Reviews Vizio Passive 3D HDTV

    Outside the US, many countries use active shutter for movies. 3D glasses will be less than $75 with rechargeable batteries, this year.:D Would a Sony 40EX720 at under 1200 be worth it compared to a passive 3D VisioTV?:D

    Home Theater Reviews Vizio Passive 3D HDTV

    At one half the vertical and horizontal info =960x540=518,400 pieces of info vs. 1920x1080=2,073,600 full 1080p thats about a 75% loss in image info. Haven't read the article. I'm sure it mentions flicker free (no shutter) many of the modern active shutter sets eliminate that issue. Vertical...

    HD Bitrate is under 5 Mb/s for most channels - is this correct?

    For those complaing about bitrate. I would be more likely complain about video/audio quality. As technology atvances, I'm not sure the 2 are as connected as one might assume. My example would be VUDUs excellent streaming quality at 1080p (even sequential 3D) at 4.75 to 6 Megabits/sec.:D

    3NET (3DNET) channel

    That means BluRay and VUDU are the only games in town.:D It would be nice if the bandwidth were unlimited. Will Google fiber help? Will they offer programming?

    3NET (3DNET) channel

    Doesn't Top/Bottom Side by side reduce the number pixels vertically or horizentally? Anyway I'm caving in Directv appears to be the only game in town for 3D and my HX800 and I are getting older.:D

    3NET (3DNET) channel

    I've been watching VUDU and, when working, PSN. Both deliver 3D in Sequential mode and full 1080p. Even my simulated 3D looks good on a lot of VUDU's 2D 1080ps and the 3D stuff is amazing.:D

    Sony 3D Camcorder

    The 101 was in 1993. Where did the other 10 years go. Time goes by fast when one is approaching senility. Last years most expensive Sony consumer camcorder was the HDRXR550V, which entered the market at 1399. Sony has been excellent at maintaining price structure by improvements in product. :D

    Sony 3D Camcorder

    I ordered for the store. I was disapointed in the Open House demo, but instinctively knew that the end product would work much better. The Sony CCDTR101 was the first consumer optically image stabilized camcorder. That was 9 years ago and a different analog world. 1599 and we sold more of...

    Should I switch to Dish network?

    I've had both Dish and Direct. I don't, currently, have a dog in the fight. This is my opinion. If you love sports and your team is not available on local RSN's, Direct is a better alternative, if you're willing to pay the extra fee. When I was on Dish I got Altitude, Fox RockyMountain and...

    3D Compatible HDMI Splitter?

    Aside from handshake issues,It doesn't require 1.4 to pass 3D. We could run as many as 64 tvs through our system. The handshake issue is time consuming, so we always leave our source on, to enable quicker tv startup. Seconds instead of 5 to 10 minutes per tv. We have run a PS3 to 4 tvs using...
