Dan, You noted on the SageTV forums that you could create a SageTV forum on Cocoontech. Build it, and they will come. Dave

Thanks, Damage! I will have to check this out ... Dave

I think we may be talking about the same Win 7 driver, although it sounds like you are having better luck with it than I did. The one I used can be found here. As noted above, it is possible that the author may have updated it since I tried it ... Dave

I would second the recommendation for the Lyra, if it fits your situation (the transmitting side must be connected to a computer (USB connection), and on the receiving side you will have the small Lyra unit and its accompanying wall wart). Audio quality is very good (no hissing sounds like on...

You may want to also consider the D-Link DGS-1024D. It is about $160 right now at Amazon ($80 less than the Cisco). I bought mine 4 or 5 months ago, and have not had any problems with it. There are 31 reviews for it on Amazon, 25 of which give it 5 stars.

Dean, Thanks for continuing to respond to these questions as they come up. As someone who has had extremely limited experience with the product and your company, it is great to see that you are trying to be responsive to the concerns people are raising. As we are all experiencing, it is very...

I have a SeeSnake Micro (similar tool made by Ridgid) and have found it to be very handy. I have used it to find leaks, look inside a wall to find wires I was pulling, etc. The picture quality wasn't great and the image on that unit is actually reversed, but all in all I still think it can be...

I would be interested also. Dave

I am definitely not a pro at this, but in my experience you need to make sure you fold the shielding back so that you just have the aluminum foil layer and dialectic exposed at the tip. If you haven't folded the foil back, or if you fold it back unevenly, then you will run into the problems you...

I think you'll be ok ... it looks like they have a ton of these things! It does look like they are starting to release some used ones, though.

Dealtree (a BestBuy brand) appears to be unloading a number of RCS TR40 RS485 HVAC thermostats on ebay. I believe this unit has been discontinued (replaced by TR60), but it previously sold for $200+. I have been watching these for a few days, and they have gone for between $47 and $93 on ebay...

Another software possibility is ThinkEssentials by ControlThink: http://www.controlthink.com/ and http://www.asihome.com/ASIshop/index.php?m...acturers_id=256 I don't really have any experience with this product, but it looks like it is less expensive than homeseer. Dave

I just ran across a site that lists tons of HTPC related software. Click here for the details. While a lot of it is targeted towards Windows Media Center, a good number of the titles have broader applicability as well. Dave

Just thought I would add some quick notes regarding my experience. I am also in the Chicago area, roughly 45 miles from both the Chicago and Milwaukee stations. I have a Winegard HD8200U antenna installed in the attic. There is a Channel Master Titan 7777 pre-amp that goes to that antenna...

Glad you like it (Fight Test is a great one). RP has introduced me to a lot of really good artists, and reintroduced me to a number of artists that I had forgotten about or not given proper attention (e.g., Crowded House). It's almost to the point that I rarely listen to my music collection...
