There are many people on this board who have ordered from AO and gotten great service. I called them about a year ago and spoke directly with Martin as a first time customer. He was extremely helpful. For me, there are two issues at this point: 1) I think the title of this thread is...

I would echo the sentiments you are hearing about the HDHomeRun. I have 2 and am picking up a 3rd next week (6 total tuners). For me, it was definitely the way to go. Dave

I use Microsmith's Hot Link Pro. It works well, and I've never had any problems with it. It is also very highly reviewed on Amazon (4 1/2 stars based on 195 reviews). I have never tried the Xantech unit so I can't compare, but I have definitely been very happy with the Hot Link Pro. Dave

Inline, Your insights and follow-through with this are great. I purchased a TR40 many months ago, but I have never had time to actually install it. When I am ready to install, I will definitely be reviewing this thread so that I know what to do. Thanks!!! Dave

I thought I would bump this topic since the deal is about to end, and I also thought I would ask a couple of quick questions. First, how many feet of tape have people actually wound up using for their home wiring? In order to get the deal it looks like you need to purchase 120 to 180 feet...

Sent a PM. I will take the thin client if it is still available. Thanks, Dave

A quick clarification: The HD-PVR can output up to 1080i, not 1080p. I don't own the unit yet, but from what I have read the video quality looks to be extremely good, regardless of the 1080i/1080p distinction. Here is a link to the product listing on the manufacturer's site: Hauppauge HD-PVR...

I would echo StevenE's question. Have you specifically chosen to share the directory that you would like to have available (right click on the directory, choose Sharing and Security and choose the options you want)? Dave

No problem at all. Good luck! Dave

I know what you mean. Fortunately the prices have started to come down on receivers that can handle DTS-MA.

Hi Aehusted. I'm glad you found the information helpful. You just need to make sure that the receiver you get lines up with the capabilities of your Blu-ray player. Since you are using a PS3, here is a relevant quote from a PS3 FAQ: "The PS3 will not bitstream advanced audio formats to...

If you are at all interested in Blu-ray, you should check out the chart provided here. It provides information about players and support for the various codecs. Support for DTS HD-MA has tended to generate a lot of discussion. Dave

If you are looking to save money, I would second part of IVB's comment above. That is, whichever company you choose, if you have several policies through that company (e.g., auto + home) you will save more money. I had GEICO previously, but their prices were higher once the multipolicy...

This scaffold has been very helpful so far. Makes it easier to work overhead, and you don't need to move it as frequently as a ladder. It has been very useful for a lot of other projects too (e.g., painting). Make sure you stick with the low voltage stuff when you are using it, though, since...

The ELK website lists a number of M1 programming examples. If you click HERE you will be directed to a page that shows examples of the following: * Automating the Hot Water Heater * Brighten Any Holiday the Easy Way * Don't Get Washed Away By Water Leaks * Know An Alarm Has...

Hi. I just tried it and was able to access the site with no problem. Maybe they had a server glitch? Dave

I am pretty new at this too. A book that really helped me was "Affordable Security: A Do-It-Yourself Guide to Protecting Your Home, Business, and Automobile." You can find it on Amazon, although only through 3rd party sellers. The book did a nice job of explaining the different technologies...

You shut off the lights at the switch the night before. That's why they didn't go back on (they were off at the switch). Did I get it? :) Dave
