11/17   I am a TV luddite who just watches broadcast TV. Cable is not
        available in my area. I am thinking of DSS. Is it possible to
        retransmit DSS signals so that I can, say, watch TV in my (detached)
        garage but have the dish on the roof of my house? I would rather
        not bury cables and all that shit. I don't watch that much TV.
        \_ I don't know about retransmitting the DSS signal, but you
           can use a wireless video sender to send the analog video
           from your DSS receiver to your garage, like the X10 video sender:

3/7     Does anyone else think the iPad3 isn't really that much better
        than the iPad2?  I don't really understand the hype.
        \_ 5MP camera?  My 1-yr-old Android phone has a 8MP auto-focus camera
           (plus a 1MP focus-free one on the front.)
              \_ The iPad camera seems like a joke to me.  The iPad is just
                 to big to be useful for taking pictures.  Maybe it makes

        \_ If you are referring to Archimedes' supposed defense of Syracuse,
           that was about 2200 years ago, not 4000 years ago. And most people
           think that the story is untrue (mythbusters ran a piece on it a few

6/8     Bought a new Sony Bravia from Costco. I can connect to it using
        DVI->HDMI converter at up to 1024x768. Above that resolution,
        Sony TV says "Unsupported Signal..." even though the manual
        clearly says it can support 1280x1024, 1900x1080, etc etc.
        What's up with that?
        \_ Your DVI source *MUST BE* HDCP compliant. Old DVI devices are not.

4/10    Why do people (myself included) like watching movies or TV series, or
        reading novels?  Why are humans so fascinated about stories that they
        consciously know are not real?  Do other animals exhibit such behavior?

Have you ever been watching a cable show or movie in your living room and started to get sleepy? Or ma ybe you'd like to watch MTV in the kitchen while getting dinner. Moving the VCR, DVD player, or cable box to the other room is out of the questi on. It broadca sts the video signal from one TV to another without wires! Use the X10 Wireless VideoSENDER, a product that lets you watch your favo rite movies and shows on any TV in the house, without buying additional VCRs or cable boxes, and without running wire from room to room. If you have cable, DSS, a VCR, or a DVD player, you know that getting the full range of programming on additional televisions can get expensive. Either pay for additional hookups, buy extra VCRs or DVD players, or run unsightly wire from room to room. No one wants to pay for additional bo xes or players, and running wire from room to room often results in redu ced picture quality. But, with X10's new scientific breakthrough in wire less video broadcasting, you can have the perfect, affordable solution! It was going to c ost several hundred dollars to get the room wired, and then pay $12 extr a per month for an additional cable box and monthly cable fees. I hooked up the Wireless Video Sender trans mitter to my basement TV, which had the cable box. I hooked up the Wirel ess Video Sender receiver unit to the master bedroom TV. The Wireless VideoSENDER transmits high-quality visual images and stereo sound to any television in your home, up to 100 feet away. The key to th is breakthrough is the use of new 24 GHz technology. The frequency has a broad signal range which means that more video information can be tran smitted. The results are cleaner pictures, reduced signal interference a nd multiple channels. What's more, because it's used much less than the old 900 MHz frequency, the 24 GHz range is virtually uncluttered. And the best part about this technology is that it creates a circular pol arization signal to provide clear, powerful retransmission of audio and video signals throughout your home - unobstructed by walls, ceiling, fur niture, or floors. RemoteSENDER, available separately, sends infrared (IR) r emote control commands throughout your home. RemoteSENDER compliments th e VideoSENDER by allowing you to use your TV/VCR/DVD/Stereo remotes in t he second room. If you're sending your cable signal from your living roo m to your bedroom, you now won't have to go back to the living room to c hange channels. Order this product if you want complete remote control f rom any room in your home! This handy remote learns al l the functions of your TV, VCR, and Stereo remotes so you only need ONE remote for all! Order this product if you're tired of using more than o ne remote to control your equipment!
