Just get a wireless router...
Unless you have a wired network already and just need to add some wireless coverage. If you are buying Netgear you probably are small enough that you could just buy a router with wireless built in... | 0negative

Does the job
Works great at a fraction of the Apple costs. I love Apple products, but it is amazing how they gouge you on simple accessories like a charger. These are made in China (probably the same factory as the "genuine" Apple cables). The shipping was quite slow. It took about 4 weeks, so plan accordingly. I use them with my iPhone 4 and iPod Touch 4. I got an error message first time I tried to charged my iPhone. I disconnected and re-connected, and it was worked fine ever since. No issues with the iPod. | 1positive

Works perfect:
I ordered this product because of a stack of VHS-C tapes that I had. I opened it slowly like it said to, placed the C tape in and it works just fine. | 1positive

Epson Perfection 4490 Photo
This product is an excellent scanner particularly if you have a lot of 35mm slides to scan which is the reason I purchased it. It also scans photo's with excellent precision. | 1positive

might be better with fixed-resolution displays
I have a Sony KP-57WS520 rear projection CRT television. I have heard that with CRT displays, an upconverting dvd player will not make much difference, and I'm going to have to agree with that. Maybe, when used with an LCD or DLP set, this dvd player would shine, but with my tv, I actually prefered using the component outputs to the HDMI output, for two reasons:1) The HDMI output was super dark, so much so that details would simply be lost in dark backgrounds. It couldn't be cleared up by adjusting the tv's brightest or color levels either. THe dark background would get lighter, but the details would stay hidden.2) My television does a much better job of upconverting the 480i dvd signal than the dvd player did. The Sony has a nice DRC circuit that produces a very good picture when fed a 480i signal. When given an upconverted signal from this dvd player, the DRC circuit is disabled. So I'm forced to either choose the component outputs with the tv doing its magic, or the HDMI output with the dvd player doing its magic. The component outputs option was clearly the winner, and when I compared the picture using this dvd player's component outputs and the picture I got with my previous dvd player's component outputs, there was no noticeable difference. So I decided to return the unit.Another thing to note, which makes me glad I don't have to stick with this unit - the remote sucks, the menus are terrible, and the settings kept being reset to the defaults. For instance, there is a setting for turning off this annoying message that pops up when the HDMI is connected (even if you're using the component connection), saying that HDMI audio is disabled. It pops up every time you change the chapter or start a title. You can turn it off in the settings menu, but it kept coming back the next time I used the dvd player, and (one other annoying feature) you can't even change the setting unless the dvd player is stopped. So I kept starting a movie, only to find the setting was switched back to ON, and then having to stop the movie, change the setting, and restart the movie (or just live with it). Very lame. | 0negative

price is right
I am very happy with the resulting prints from this camera. I've used other brands in the past and never have had such bright colors and in focus shots. The winding mechanism is easy to use. Finally I have pictures of my diving expeditions to remember.It's even suited for kids over ten to use. Mine had lots of fun with their own Quick Snap. | 1positive

Great mouse at a good price!
இ Fuzzy Wuzzy's Summary:ѾѾѾѾѾ Highly recommended with warm fuzzies!I finally bought another one of these to replace the same Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 mouse that came with an Alienware computer that I bought way back in 2003. Starting last year in 2008, it started getting erratic with both the left and right buttons. The left button would sometimes give double clicks when I clicked on something once, and the right button would sometimes not maintain its hold while I clicked-and-dragged within a graphics program. The two side buttons never had any problems; but then again, they are far less used then the top left and right buttons. The double click problem was tamed somewhat by adjusting the "Double-Click Speed" in the mouse settings, but the sporadic misfires by both left and right buttons became annoying enough that I bought a replacement. Both on my previous old mouse and its new replacement, on-screen tracking and precision are, and have always been, excellent. Ahhh... life is good again.I have been using this same mouse model since 2003 with a3M Precise Mousing Surface with 3M Gel Wrist Rest Blue Water Design 8.71 in x 9.21 inand, combined with the mousepad's built-in gel wrist rest and adjusting my chair height, I feel totally locked into both this mouse and my keyboard at my desk. This mouse fits my hand perfectly. If you have small hands and/or if your chair is too low or your desk is too high so that you have to cock your wrist upward to use the mouse, you may find the mouse's fit to be too large for you. Lately, it seems that all of the manufacturers are making even far-larger-sized futuristic-looking mice that look like a miniature Darth Vader sitting in a Ferrari. Some of these mice are marketed to hardcore gamers. I have tried all of the really fancy mice out at the stores, but keep preferring this model still. And I cringe at the thought of spending more than $30-40 for a mouse; I do not need a custom paint job and flashing lighting effects on my mouse, thank you.As with any mouse or keyboard, don't just read the reviews. You need to actually try holding the mouse in a store to see if its shape, size, button clicking, and wheel scrolling all appeal to you specifically. | 1positive

Constantly Dropping Internet Connections-Do Not BUY
Do your own research, google "linksys sucks", or go to any number of geek forums. This router can not hold a internet connection up for any length of time. It drops the connect spradically as well as constantly when trying to download music or music videos. Tech support is clueless. Basically you get what you pay for, crap!!!!! | 0negative

Great alternative to the expensive Apple products
For the price this is a great, high capacity, compact MP3 player. We've owned a number of iRiver MP3 players in our family prior to this SanDisk model. Overall I'd say the SanDisk player is better than the iRiver models. Everything works well and the unit seems very rugged. Connectivity to the PC to download music works well. The ability to sort and organize music and playlists is great. | 1positive

Fantastic
As a non-geek and sixty years old my son was very concerned that I would purchase and then set my own wireless. He is a geek and offered to come set it up some day. Imagine his shock when I called him and told him I was up and running. This set up was so easy, even I pull it off. Fantastic is the word that comes to mind. No I don't play games but I am sure it is fast enough to do that if I ever want to. | 1positive

Got Microsoft OEM instead of Actual Pharos Label
Although the product is, I suspect identical, i was disappointed in that I received a product with the Microsoft label on it instead of the Pharos label which I had purchased. It all works fine BUT I was not expecting it to be OEM from microsoft.The picture shows it as PHAROS labeled. | 1positive

Not worth the money
The Good:Small, lightweight, inexpensivedecent soundThe Bad:The battery life on this thing is awful. In under two hours the thing is completey drained. This is made worse by the fact thateven when it's "off" it still has an active display, furtherdraining the single AAA batteryInterface is not intuitive (then again what do you expect for something this small)Headphones. Simply put, they stink. Those people with large ears may find them perfect though.Memory size is limited, and not upgradeable.Conclusion:The mini-yepp is an expensive, decent piece of equipment. Howeverit's not worth the money. Its performance does not meet the specifications that are outlined in the product description and Iwould advise anyone looking for an mp3 player to avoid this modelunless they have money to burn. | 0negative

Glad to say I don't own it, but...
I work for a large retail computer store. I have finially started refusing to sell these units. Atleast half of the units come back with some type of power problem. We cannot get the units in fast enough. Not for new purchases, but for people that have had the units for a few weeks. Right now, I have a list of 6 people waiting for our store to recieve them in.HP did a fantastic job on their H1910. The unit has it's flaws but works excellently. With the kind of mess the 5455 turned into, Dell is going to start seing a lot more of the market share. If you like the Ipaqs, and you want all the gadgets, go with the 3955, for the extra 200 bucks you can buy the USEFULL gadgets that the 5455 has. The screen may look great on both of the units, but compare the flex of the screens and you'll see the 3955 hardly moves. | 0negative

Love this camera!
The Nikon D80 is an awesome camera and I am enjoying taking pictures with it! I am an amateur photographer, but this camera is easy to use. My order came quickly (from Adorama and Amazon) and was in good condition. I can heartily recommend the camera and ordering through Amazon. | 1positive

Very good speakers for the price
I am an audiophile and currently own a high end system in my living room. I was looking for small secondary system for a den and found this speaker at attractive price. The speakers are bigger than expected but the enclosures are very well made using good materials.With the sensitivity of 89, 14 watts t-amp makes wonderful sounds!The bass is little weak side but highs and mids are very clear and produce transparent sound.For the price, I don't think you can get better speakers. I can say that it'll be really hard to find better speakers even at $300. | 1positive

good image quality/price
This camera takes exellent pictures indoors and outdoors. I have printed out 8x10 pictures without editing, they come out very nice and with help of a photo editing software, the pictures are the best I've seen in 8x10 size. Compared to same size photos from Kodak 4900 (4 MP) the pictures from JVC are a lot better (using the same printer). I'm using Windows XP, have no problem downloading to computer (very fast).I'm returning it though due to missing battery. | 1positive

My 2 cents...
First of all let me state that I bought my 40XBr2 for $[...] out the door and I was also lucky to get an August manufactured date. I was originally going to buy this unit during Thanksgiving from a local store but when I read some reviews about some units having clouding (mura effects) issures, I held off so I could do more research. I'm glad i did because I was able to save several hundreds of dollars and was lucky enough to get a unit that so far doesn't suffer from clouding (knock on wood). The reason I mention the manufatured date above is because I heard that August has [...], which is not the case for [...].I currently have my XBR2 connected to a DirecTV H20 HD receiver and a Playstation 3 and I am using HDMI cables on both. I do agree that the regular SD (standard definition) channels don't look as good as it would on a regular TV, but I do think that it is not as bad as some would say. I did find the some of the SD channels hard to watch out of the box, but after I made some changes to the video calibration settings, I found the SD channels to be not bad at all. I know that some people would not know how to calibrate their own TV but with the help of the internet, you can find someone who will post the correct or proper settings. I know each person has a different taste, but I did find the settings from the link below made my tv viewing a whole lot better.All the HD channels on Directv are great and the shows that are on 1080i are amazing on my XBR2. As for the Playstation 3, all I can say is WOW! The details of the games and Blu ray movies are just incredible. I'm probably going to borrow my friends Xbox 360 this weekend just to see how it looks, I'm sure it will be a great experience also.For the price I paid and the image quality I'm getting, I believe that this is the best LCD TV in the market. Other features that sold me were the design, 1080P, 3hdmi inputs, and pretty good sound. Hoped I helped some people out.[...] | 1positive

Stupidest software design
I own this item. I purchased it after having an iPod mini that died on me and this was cheaper per gig than another iPod. I regret this decision.The good thing about this is that you can drag and drop from Windows onto the Iriver. Slightly more convinient than updating via iTunes.The stupid thing about this product is the 'hold' button. I keep my player in my bag all day and use for my commute.When the player is on 'hold' you would expect that pressing the buttons would do nothing.However, when the iRiver is on 'hold' and you press a button, the screen lights up and tells you that it is on hold (probably for idiots who forget it is on hold).The point is.... when the screen lights up every few minutes because my bag gets bumped and some button pressed, it drains the battery like crazy. I can't even use it on my way home unless I charge it all day.I would reccomend spending the few extra bucks and buying an iPod. | 0negative

Warning: Not as Easy as You Think
This remote comes with 3 different mode buttons at the top. One for TV, one for your cable/satellite receiver and then one for EITHER the VCR or DVD.What this means to you:In order to change the channel on the cable receiver, you need to hit the cable mode button and then hit channel up or down. In order to watch a DVD you will need to change modes again, hit play, then change to the TV mode so you can switch the video inputs and change the volume. Quite annoying since this is supposed to be "easy". The play button serves no purpose in any mode other than DVD or VCR. If they really wanted to make things easy, then get rid of the modes. There's nothing more frustrating than watching a non technical person try to play a DVD and they think that the remote is broken because they're not in DVD mode.Most important thing to note: This remote can NOT support a VCR and a DVD player at the same time. They are together as one mode. | 0negative

Too small and broke down quickly
The fryer is very small, so as you cook subsequent batches, the previous batches gets cold. It's very basic: no temperature control, no indicator light for when it has reached the correct temperature, no basket (just a wide slotted spoon) and no insulation, so you do have to be careful around it. That would have all been OK for the occasional deep fryer user like myself except for something so basic, you would think there wouldn't be much that could go wrong with it. However I only used it about 10 times before it stopped working completely. | 0negative

Terrible Experience - Unit has never been right
This unit has great features - but the features do not work consistently. The unit freezes up and also the recording quits randomly. Sometimes a program can be recorded fine and oter times the recording just stops with either no error message or a message stating the material is copy protected. The copy-protect error is not consistent (same show sometimes records OK and other times fails sometimes even an houtr or more into the recording). The unit's ability to record reliably is so bad that I have gone back to my VHS unit to record on tape. | 0negative

Nice little radio
I picked this radio up based mostly on price. There is a lower scale Midland available, but for a few more dollars this seemed to have everything I wanted. I'm a ham radio operator, and do communications for a federal maritime SAR agency, so knew what I wanted in a radio.I ran several radio checks with the radio on channel 9 at my marina but was unable to raise anyone (typical for this area). However, with another of my radios located close by I was able to hear the output audio which was crisp, clear and clean. Received audo is very good, loud and clear.It has the NOAA weather frequencies available, which is a great asset. Battery life is at least 6 hours on receive.The display is VERY large and easily readable. The only downside is accessing the features. There's a 'menu' button which does different things depending on how many times you push it. Changing channels requires pushing the button once, then hitting the channel button. Holding the menu button for 3 seconds takes you to the weather channels, etc. I suppose they did this for cost, but it's a bit confusing to try and remember how many times you've hit the button, or how to access other features.But, it's a solid performer at this price. I like the audio, the ease of reading a big screen, and it's light; not too heavy hanging on a belt. It comes with the earphone jack, mike, AC and DC power cables and bracket to set the radio in. | 1positive

Limited Capacity Problem on two different cards...
The first 512MB card I purchased would not hold more than 267MB of data and was determined by Viking to be defective. They replaced it with a new card; it would only hold 306MB. I'm now sending that one back and hoping the third time is a charm... | 0negative

Inexpensive, but disappointing
These don't cost a whole lot, but you get what you pay for.Sound quality is alright, but somewhat hollow. They aren't terribly comfortable on the top of the head *or* over the ears - that being said, I have kind of big ears. Sound leakage is also a big problem, which was the ultimate deal-killer for me.I think I'm going to return these. Disappointing. | 0negative

Horrible - not even worth a quarter!
Awful, Awful, Awful - it should be illegal to sell something this cheap. On first use, it lost all the pictures. On second use when I tried to plug it into the PC to download the stupid plug pulled out of the camera and pulled the camera's usb plug with it - so now it's worthless because pictures can't be downloaded. Cheapest thing I've ever seen. DO NOT BUY!!!!! Ruined Christmas present for my daughter - fortunately I had warned her in advance that it likely wouldn't work. Thought it should at least be able to take and download a few fuzzy pictures tho - but we never even got that far! Disney should really be ashamed to have their name on this product. | 0negative

printable not wearable
My first black and color cartridge was fine and worked okay (did run out of ink slightly faster than I anticipated). When I opened the next black cartridge package ink poured out of package and all over my shirt and jeans. The same happened with the next color cartridge. I have seen better deals, but I figured you get what you pay for. Not in this case. It cost me the price of this product and two pairs of jeans and two shirts. Not really worth it. | 0negative

SMOOTH
all 5 of my lenses are covered by B&W. i have enjoyed German made products for their sheer quality and if that's you, then you will appreciate this relatively expensive filter. it feels so good as the brass of this filter meshes with that lovely latest lens, that you won't care. tell you what, get the cheapy and screw it on, and then replace it with a B&W. buy it from Amazon and you can effortlessly return the one that you don't like or think too expensive. if you like the best, this is it. | 1positive

Not perfect, but not complete crap either.
I bought this case for my 30 gig video. You could call the case snug, which is a good thing in my opinion. The plastic over the click wheel tended to bubble up a little, so I cut it out after a few days. After some slight modifications, the case works alright.My only real complaint is the buckle for the caribiner strap. It put a nice scratch right down the front of the screen, right in the middle. Other than that, the strap stays snapped down with the clips on the back and the caribiner is a pretty convenient handle. That scratch is more than enough to get me looking for a new case though. If you don't plan on ever taking your ipod out of it's case, then this cover would work. If not, keep looking. | 0negative

Worked for four months...
This recorder worked pretty good until the warranty ran out. Unfortunately, the full warranty is only for three months. The unit ran extremely hot and had numerous lock-ups before the end. The heat led to a blown capacitor on the board. This seems to be a common occurrance with other users of this product. Anyway, great dvd recorder, but horrible design. If you decide to buy one (I highly advise against it), open the cover to allow a little bit of cooling. It might last a few weeks longer. One other thing, Cyberhome does not seem to stand behind their products. Forget about tech support... | 0negative

work only once...
i dont know if this product is a defect or not, but very disappointed. used on G3 once, then formatted it, and can never use again. camera cannot detect there's a flash card installed. when swapped with Lexar, it was working fine. when swapped back to Viking again, still could not detect. very disappointed. [...] talk about the quality of Viking.still got CF errors when trying to display the next images. Something went terribly wrong with the card. I formatted it and took several pictures. I would still get CF errors. I am using the 32MB card that came with the camera with no problems at all. I am now considering the Lexar 24x card or the new 40x card due out this month. I bought a 128MB Viking card for my son and he is having no problems with it at this time. I guess I just got a bad one. | 0negative

A new problem every time you push "start"
I got this item hoping I'd found a functional alternative to the more expensive MP3 CD players on the market. I was prepared to deal with "low frills/no frills" type drawbacks, however, the difficulties I encountered with this model weren't due to a lack of amenities. The unit simply isn't reliable, even at the most basic level.1. Skipping: Oh so very annoying. MP3s skip for no apparent reason, even if the player is resting unmolested on a soft fluffy pillow. Really, I tried it - on a soft fluffy pillow, the songs skipped like crazy.2. Batteries: It eats batteries like they're Doritos and it has the munchies, particularly in MP3 mode.3. Unreliable: Today, my 4th day of ownership, the unit suddenly decided it couldn't read the CD it happily skipped through yesterday.4. Web Customer Service? Sorry, no. Koss DOES have a presence on the Web, but its page is devoted only to its headphones - no mention of the CD player.Much better players are available for a few dollars more. I'm glad I gave this unit a try, if only because I'm now confident anything extra I pay for the next-better model is money well spent. | 0negative

3 hours on tech support
I spent 3 hours with tech support and could not get it working properly. After the first 2 calls they had me buy a crossover CAT5 cable, then the 3rd call could not even get it working properly. Each time you call, expect to spend 30 minutes on hold before speaking to someone. Even the initial connection was flacky, one day it would not work and then work the next. My experience appears to be the same a several other reviews here. | 0negative

Doesn't live up to the Hi-Lift reputation
I purchased thisHi-Lift Jack JP-350 Jack Protectorjack cover for my 60" jack since it spends most of it's time in the bed of my truck. It is not apparent from the Amazon.com description that it is a bit short for a 60" jack. The packaging for the cover, once it arrived, clearly states that it won't cover the jack base and leaves about five inches at the top out in the weather...that should be included in the description posted to the web site. I should have looked at the reviews more carefully, because there is one out there that mentions exactly that.At any rate, I figured that was still ok, so cut a slot in the top of the cover and started to slide it on to the jack. It is not cut generously enough to fit over the Hi-Lift jack handle keeper. While I was wrestling with that problem, I realized that the fabric is not strong enough to resist abrasion and tearing as it slides down over the top of the jack. I now have lot's of holes in my new jack cover! Now the elements can get into the cover and live inside the cover with my jack! I was probably better off leaving the jack in the bed of my truck without a cover than by putting this one on!At any rate, I can't recommend this product. It hasn't even made it out of the garage and it's already unuseable. | 0negative

2 weeks and 6 cities in Turkey later...
I bought this pack a couple days before my trip to Turkey. I had a 15" MacBookPro, Canon 30d, 17-55/2.8 attached, 70-200/4, 30 1.4, battery chargers/power adapters, Gorillapod SLR, filter cases, cleaning clothes and solution, etc. All the stuff photo enthusiasts take on long trips. Overall this pack performed fantastically.Pros: Despite the previous reviewers comments, I found the Vertex 200 to be very comfortable when it was completely adjusted. But to adjust it for maximum comfort I tightened all the straps very tight. Between the waist strap, shoulder straps and the chest strap, I thought it was about as comfortable as any other way for me to carry that much gear without being a roll-bag. I like that the zippers are water-proof even though I never had to test that feature. The top handle is sturdy and comfortable when the bag is off.It's well padded and comes with many re-configureable velcro compartment walls for the interior. Shoulder straps are also very padded and comfortable when the waist and chest strap are fastened.Cons: The laptop shouldn't be in the front flap. I'm not sure I understand the design decision of putting one of the heavier items in the whole pack on the front flap that requires lifting to get to the contents. Then when you want to fully open the pack, you have to make sure your laptop encased in the flap has a flat surface to rest upon. You certainly can't fling it open with reckless abandon.I agree with the previous reviewer that the laptop placement also tends to make the bag tippy. Luckily my MBP doesn't weigh very much, but I can imagine if my wife's hp 15" laptop were in there it would be more of a problem. On top of that, it levers the weight of the computer further away from the body's center of gravity when being worn.Conclusion:The laptop placement and the somewhat useless expandable pockets on the side are the only things preventing me from giving this bag 5 stars. It is obviously very sturdy and protective. It performed great and I walked quite far with it without pain. A considerable feat for someone with bad knees like me.If I were making the choice again I might look at the Kata backpack more closely as they decided to put the laptop closest to the body of the wearer. But I also preferred the subdued look of this bag. | 1positive

Great Product!
I ordered this to go with a new camera I purchased to work on a documentary! The fluid motions of the tripod are excellent! It moves very smoothly and is easy to control. The levels work great in assuring a good picture. The material is strong and light weight! It's great for travel, and quick shoots as well as general use! Would recommend for anyone looking for an affordable tripod that exceeds it's price range in quality! | 1positive

WOW!
The only downfall to this is the hard to open door, BUT it is a good thing so that it keeps your Ipod dirt free. I absolutly love it, I built my own house and it would take over a week before I heard the same song twice. Chalk another great invention up to Apple and Bosch! I would recommend this to any music lover. | 1positive

Nice idea, bad shape.
The shape of this bag prevents it from being a really good camera bag. With a camera and attached lens inside, there is more room than the camera needs-- but not enough room to store anything else in the main pocket. The design of the front pocket won't let the zipper close with anything larger than a battery in it. If only the bottom of the bag was wider, or the top of the bag was narrower, and the front pocket had a little more fabric at the top, this would be the perfect little camera bag. Alas. I gave up trying to make it "work" and returned mine. | 0negative

sony ss-b3000 speakers used for surround sound front speaker
I replaced a pair of old scotts with the sony ssb3000 speakers for my front speakers in my surround system. Not the Center speaker but the front right and left. The sound is clear, midtones sound good. I really liked my Scotts but they were just too large and these fit into our decor quite well. | 1positive

This is actually a DB-25 (F) to HD-50 (M) converter, as seen in the picture, and NOT as described in the title.I found this out the hard way, although the merchant I purchased it from was extremely apologetic and cooperative.I am not sure why the listing itself has not been updated to reflect the correct genders. | 0negative

Really bad product
Reasons I am dissapointed with this product:1)It makes an annoying wheezing/humming noise that can only be stopped by unplugging it. It's not as noticeable when playing music but it's when it is shut off that it is really annoying. And I need to stress here that I am not even an audiophile type. I can put up with a lot of imperfection with my systems but this is truly unreasonable 2)Something is wrong with the radio function. It worked fine at first but then after a few days (3ish) I tried it and I can't get in my favorite station at all anymore. Instead two different stations are coming in at the same time - along with a lot of static. 3)I noticed that when turning it from all the way down, one speaker starts playing before the other. This doesn't affect things too much since the other speaker kicks in as soon as you go up a bit, but this seems yet another indication that this product was poorly made. 4) The buttons for turning it on/off and switching between the iPOD and radio seemed a little confusing to me. This is not a major concern but the design could certainly be more intuitive so it isn't so easy to mix the two buttons up.I will be returning this item as soon as I can get to the post office. Do yourself a favor and don't buy this if you haven't already. I wish there were more speaker systems that included radios - that's the only reason I ignored the other poor reviews and consumer reports and got this system anyway. I think I will have to get one without a radio and keep my old CD player (that I was replacing) next to it instead for the radio function. | 0negative

I knew to stay away from scan disk!
I have never liked this brand but was assured at my high end camera store to be a good quality disk and so I bought the package with the card reader. Card reader after only a dozen or so times went faulty on me and then lost all the pictures on the disk. For me, I was pleased I know to change a disk and not put all eggs in one basket. The fact I only have the Wedding first dance is not good however. I blame it on the card reader. I would still look at other brands that have worked better for me. I shoot with a Cannon 20D with my new (I have to brag) L series lenses I bought from Amazon. | 0negative

Analog/Digital Hybrid...but not quite
I had a Migilia TVMicro before this, and was able to receive only analog cable programs. However, we activated digital cable service a few months ago and I got the Elgato Hybrid TV (different brand, same manufacturer--Elgato) thinking I could receive digital channels while bypassing the cable set top box. Slight disappointment: I now receive exactly the same analog channels as before, but can record other inputs digitally via supplied cable. In effect, non-cable digital video inputs can be put through the Elgato Hybrid, but it does not receive digital channels on cable unless routed through a digital cable box. That's for the next generation, I think. In the meantime, I'm converting my digital 8 camcorder tape recordings to a digital form I can burn onto a DVD.Still, if you're willing to string coaxial cable from the set top box in another room, you can watch digital TV on your computer. Unfortunately, the cable box controls the channel selection. Your home computer can change channels if the cable signal is analog and is wired directly to the Hybrid TV, but not if the signal comes from a converter box.The Elgato Hybrid TV comes with a mini-USB port which allows different input connections to be made (RCA, component video, and S-Video, but NOT HDMI). It's connected to the computer via a USB 2.0 port and the EyeTV 3.0 software is more stable than the previous version 2.5.2 (but the upgrade is relatively costly if version 2 happened to be the version on the CD packed with the unit).You need both an activation key card and a proof-of-purchase card to upgrade online. My unit came without the proof of purchase card, so I had to scan my Amazon shipping invoice and the Elgato activation key card to be able to upgrade online. Amazon wanted me to exchange the whole unit just because the proof-of-purchase card was missing, and I thought that would result in a waste of resources for everyone involved except the shipping company, so I did the upgrade the hard way. Elgato's customer service is BRILLIANTly supportive of the customer, so things turned out okay in the end.Keep in mind that use of the small unit requires a physical connection to a TV coaxial cable, so using it with a laptop means the laptop is tethered in place. And until I installed the Hybrid TV unit, my Bose Companion 5 speaker system never had to be reset; in the few weeks I've been using the Hybrid TV, I've had to unplug the unit 5 times to restore sound to my secondary monitor which I use for TV viewing.The unit is rugged, comes with an end cap like a USB flash drive (meaning the end cap can be misplaced when the unit is in use). It gets quite warm during use, but not painfully or even uncomfortably so. Of course, it's probably shielded because I detect no noise interference, either visually or audibly.The EyeTV 3.0 software allows for more control of the screen's features than v2.5--color, hue, brightness, etc.--but if the monitor is not an HD monitor, the picture is good but not great. At least now the people on screen can be adjusted to have normal flesh tones instead of vaguely orange or vaguely green.All in all, for what it was designed to do, the unit is excellent. The only reason it did not receive a 5-star rating from me is that I took its designation as an analog/digital hybrid a bit too wistfully. It is a hybrid, but not in the way I was hoping. | 1positive

Quality Old School Cassette Recorder
A genuine throw back to the 1970's, the RQ-2102 is a quality portable recorder. Using 4 D cells or AC, this is a heavy unit by today's standards. Features old fashion slide in or out plastic carrying handle. If you need a rugged unit that will be used on a table and need to do a lot of recording or playback this would be a better choice than Panasonic's mini cassette recorder such as the RQ-L31 which is also an excellent cassette recorder. Unlike the mini cassette recorders this model will fast forward and rewind faster. The buttons feel solid so when you push you get a good response. Has an excellent pause control by releasing the capstan and pinch roller from the cassette removing that awful low whine found in mini cassette recorders. Has que, review and tape counter and can use external microphone or earphones. Larger speaker provide better and fuller sound. This is the last and best of Panasonic's shoe box style units so if you like this 1970's style recorder get this and you won't be disappointed. | 1positive

I am so happy to have gotten this player. I was happy with my e260, but I wanted more space for my songs, videos and photos.

"there's nothing we can do about it"
Purchased this router a little over a year ago. Worked pretty good until I decided to subscribe to dlink's securespot service (parental control). Well that turned out to be a waste of money. But whatever, I just cancelled the service and took the thirty dollar loss; no big deal. Then the problem started. Every once in a while the dir-655 would block internet access to both laptops at home (wirelessly connected). I noticed the address bar had a message containing the words "bsecure" plus a whole bunch of other letters. So I called tech support and they had me log in to the 655, enable securespot and save settings, then disable securespot and save settings. Problem solved! Great, so a few days go by, I turn on my laptop and get the same "bsecure", and no internet connectivity. So I log in the router and run the same procedure again, which fixes it. Well, the re-occurences got progressively worse, so I called D-link tech support again. This time they refer me to the "Securespot" department. It turns out that one of there servers has been going down repeatedly, which would cause it to loose securespot subscriber data, which resulted in not only my internet getting blocked, but countless other people that had also subscribed to securespot. So the customer representative admitted this was an ongoing issue with securespot subscribers and that "there's nothing we can do about it". So I'm left with having to go to my desktop, log into the 655, perform the resetting procedure, everytime I want to use my laptop. And the best part about it is that adding securespot required a firmware upgrade, which guess what, is not reversible! And D-link's response to that: "there's nothing we can do about it".So think twice before purchasing anything from D-link because you may be in for a real customer service treat! | 0negative

Tons a VINYL.
Years of accumulated vinyl recordings created a nightmare as it relates to storage and useability. Transferring the music to CD or DVD format allows a simpler filing system as well as a more versatile medium.I would highly recommend this product to anyone who wishes to preserve the data contained on vinyl recordings - - - or just LISTEN to the records.It seems to be a fine product at a fine price. Thanks Amazon !Karl | 1positive

I thought it was good
After doing reaserch for a small DVD Home Theater I found this RCA unit. I read some reviews that said this is a "Best buy!", because it can play anything and even display digital pictures from a CD. Well, it does do everything just poorly. When I got the unit the lid would open and then immediatley close. I figured that is how the unit worked and I would have to be quick to chang the cds. After a couple of months I noticed that new DVDs would skip and freeze. I thought it was the DVDs but when I tested them in a different DVD player they would paly fine.The sound is not the best either. When watching a DVD you can hardly hear people speaking. You have turn the volume up to the max to hear the speaking, but if there is music or an explosion the sound is so loud it makes me scramble for the remote to turn it down, and then I can not hear the speaking again.Needless to say I have had this unit to long to return it and am stuck with a DVD player that skips and does not have good sound. | 0negative

Should be a little cheaper I think
I'm a little disappointed in it. It is an accurate leader but does not really chose the fastest way. Sometimes it leads you into one way streets where traffic goes totally the opposite direction. Also once when I was in a neighborgood im not familiar with I searched for a gas station but it took me to a restaurant. Otherwise, when you type in the address or an intersection it takes you to the exact place. I don't know, maybe it works better in smaller towns/cities. (I'm from New York City where traffic directions might get changed from time to time.) | 1positive

Many problems
I have the 105 w/8mb memory but it's the same pda otherwise. The good stuff is the size and easy to carry around. The bad stuff is that you must use a serial port (the usb kit rarely works and is major trouble). My pda has to reset whenever you change the batteries so I must do this next to my computer to re-synch. If you can get it for cheap, it does the basic job. Make sure your pc has a serial port to sync, many newer pc's do not. Also, downloading software updates from Palm is a crapshoot since many dll's did not download. Support via email does not resolve problems. | 0negative

Works well, TERRIBLE battery life on the mouse.
This item works great - the keyboard is responsive and the mouse works great on flat surfaces or in the air. Keyboard battery life is excellent, but the mouse battery life deteriorated very quickly (just after a few months). Now I need to keep it in the charger at all times. If I even leave it out a few hours, it is useless which is unacceptable. | 0negative

Wonderful HD CRT
I was initially weary of purchasing this tv due to the problems that other reviewers have posted. I realized that most of the problems occured with other models of this tv so I went ahead and and got it and have had no problems to date (6 months). The picture quality is outstanding and there are tons of inputs. The only feature I wish the tv had was an audio input so that I can route my xbox's audio through the tv instead of switching inputs on the stereo receiver when i go from tv to xbox. The 'slimfit' marketing scheme is slightly skewed in that the tv is still extremely heavy. A lot of neighbors got a good laugh as they watched me try to carry this thing up 3 flights of stairs alone. But it fits nicely into my entertainment center and all my guests think its LCD until I tell them otherwise. | 1positive

1 Big Flaw
While this would seem to be a cool way to transfer information between different computers and even a PDA, the Cruzer is too deep and wide to fit properly in most USB ports. If you have a typical computer (i.e., a keyboard and mouse connector and below it 2 USB ports), the Cruzer does not fit in the USB port if the keyboard and mouse are plugged in. It also doesn't fit if a USB device is plugged in, as it is too "fat". You must use a 4" dongle that comes with it to plug it into such places, that dongle is easily lost, and the dongle does not easily fit into the carrying case that comes with the product.In principle, it works well. But in practice, being too bulky and not plugging into the usb port at the back of a typical computer without the aid of additional, easily lost parts is a real drag. You'd be better off with a smaller memory key-like device, or if you have a PDA or camera, it's a lot cheaper just to buy a data cable instead. | 0negative

Big Brand Name Mediocre VCR Playback
I'm very proficient with electronics and even I had problems reading through the instruction manual I gave up after 2-3 minutes and hooked it up without it. It was easy enough. This DVD/VCR combo has every feature you could want including 5x search forward & backward, this was great especially with the DVDs. There are two disappointing facts however: the lighted remote only lights 8 keys NOT including numbers, volume or channel keys. Also the VCR picture quality was miserable in comparison to the Phillips DVD/VCR (but the Phillips ate my VCR tape, I didn't try another). This was very disappointing coming from Panasonic but I've experienced poor picture quality with their VCR PV-8664 as well. so much so I'm returning it this eve. I paid ... at PC Richards here in NY over priced due to poor picture quality, poor manual, and only eight keys lighting on the remote, but you've gotta love the features (though not enough to keep it). | 0negative

Killed my iPod
It cooked my iPod Classic. Apparently it really doesn't like anything other than 5th Gen iPods.A Best Buy representative sold me an iTalk Pro and an 80GB iPod Classic as a way to record my DJ mixes and music made on my drum machine. It never worked right, and eventually committed seppuku. First, my recordings would be either too low to hear, so loud that clipping occurred every other second, or filled with noise. A direct line recording from my line out would be stuttered and useless. I never got a good recording from this device. Both the microphone and line in jack would record at the same time, filling my clean line recordings with noise from the mic. Finally, after just a few days, the iPod borked out. When I took it back to Best Buy, it was still clicking and flashing. It wouldn't even respond to a hard reset.Beware this product. It killed my iPod. | 0negative

Nice $79 speakers... but wait, they're $249
I listen to music all day while at work and play games on my system at home at night. I have owned easily a dozen or more computer speakers over the last couple of years and have listened to a number of other speakers owned by friends. I've also owned the Bose companions. I've listened to several in side by side tests at home - not sitting in some canvernous big box store and I think I have a pretty good idea of what you can get for the money.I'd say the Companions, with their undersized satellite drivers, are excessively bright and have very little mid range. Aside from other speakers that use the "micro drivers" like the Creative iTrigues, I can't think any other speaker above $50 that uses a driver as small as 2".The sub is ok. Bose says it "delivers impressive lower tones". Perhaps the people at Bose are easily impressed, but I beg to differ. Two problems here; the sub has a 5 1/4" driver - small by comparison to like priced products - and the power, which Bose doesn't publish, but I would estimate at less than 50 watts, isn't enough to recreate much in the way of low frequency effects.Overall, if these were $79 products, I could see how one might, and I stress might, pick these over a set of Altecs or Logitechs. At $249 these things are obscenely over priced. Sometimes I have to step back in awe at how much Bose can get away with charging for their products.The Companion 3s are further evidence that Bose is an exceptional marketing company and a mediocre audio company. | 0negative

Wrong power supply in package probably caused hub failure
Plugged in power adapter and USB, but no peripherals were recognized. The standard ports worked as USB ports once I unplugged the power adapter, but the charging ports did not. Turns out the hub requires 5V 3A, but the adapter that came with it was 10V 0.7A.Substituting a 5V 2.5A adapter I happen to have, the two charging ports produce no significant voltage on their 5V lines, so presumably the internals were fried by the overvoltage. Result: An over-priced 5-port unpowered hub. | 0negative

Ripping LPs for my IPod
I got this a couple of weeks back. The s/w installed very easily and despite no documentation it is pretty easy to use. The only catch for me was that on my initial recordings the playback was great but when I replayed the recordings they were terrible. Windows had the Audio recording source as my Webcam and what was recorded was the sound coming out of the speakers being picked up by the Webcam. Once that was corrected via Windows Control Panel -> Sounds and Audio Devices -> Audio tab -> Sound Recording (Default Device) the recordings were great. I haven't even bothered running any filters to take out the hiss yet as it is pretty insignificant.You have to set the input recording level before starting to record but that is a minor setup that will avoid problems later.The turntable itself is simple to set up and use. Not the greatest turntable ever but at the price it is a complete steal.I now get to listen to all my old albums on my IPod and am delighted with the purchase. | 1positive

Built to last -- up to 90 days
I purchased the DVP642/37 player in January and lately I've been having some weird problems with it. Every so often, maybe after 10-20 hours of use, the player will show solid thin horizontal white lines on the screen (the quantity of lines varies). The movie still plays behind the lines and pausing will hold the lines in place. Hitting play again will continue the movie with the lines still there. Only pressing stop once and then play again will resume the movie normally. I thought it odd at first, especially with a new player, and blamed the disc. Then a second one did it. I went back in the movie and replayed the area I thought bad but it was okay and the problem didn't return for that movie, or the ones to follow. Then it occured again and I was annoyed. I never know which movie will bring the lines but I know they will appear at some point. It progressively gets worse.Lately something else has been happening too. With some movies, when clicking a menu item, the player will just shut off. I've seen it happen three times so far, different movies and I couldn't duplicate. This, of course, began after the 90 days ran out. There is also sometimes a high pitch whine coming from the player as the disc decides to spin as fast as it can, like it's running away. The only way to correct it is to shut the player off and start again.So, I tried to run a cleaning CD/DVD and it takes several cycles of powering the unit off and then on in order for the cleaning CD/DVD to run (maybe to the tune of 20 times). I tried it again last night after the horizontal white lines appeared again and the cleaning CD/DVD would not run. The ironic part; the cleaning CD/DVD is a Philips products too. Needless to say, I am not impressed with this product. I've had other Philips products for years and have never had problems. I sent a similar post to this to Philips about a month ago and have not received a response.In the Philips documentation is states: "A small amount of distortion may appear occasionally. This is not a malfunction."My guess is that this is a standard feature with the product. So stay away from this player unless you can afford to waste the money and don't mind replacing it shortly after. I'll suffer with it until it either makes me mad enough or dies completely, then I'll go for a different brand. One that lasts longer than the warranty. | 0negative

It worked for a while... then failed
If any of you have seen my previous reviews, you will see that I gave this an overall good review. However, after less than one year the thing is already broken. I will give you the latest on this CD player-The bad news-1) after normal use, the remote buttons get stuck and break. I threw out my remote about 3 months ago [thats after having the cd player for about 7 months].2) the skip protection isn't as good as anything Sony can make. The new Sony I got for ... bucks [with a car kit] barely skips when i punch the thing, and that's with the skip protection off! check out my review for it- i think its the D266CK or something like that3) the player isnt durable. Sure, in a year I dropped it mabye 5 times, but I have punched my Sony more in a month than that and it takes it with no trouble. Also, with the ESP off the panasonic skips like there is no tomorrow.4) It isn't worth the money. Pay ... bucks for a year old CD player that will break? no thanks, my ... dollar sony works a lot better.5) Radio. This is basically true with every CD player- the radio is extremely weak. If you are listening to stuff that has explicit content warnings all over it don't pay for a radio. I never used mine.Basically my advice is- dont buy it. it isnt worth it at all. If you want a CD player for your birthday I'd suggest going for the high-end Sonys [the most expensive one is ... bucks but looks awesome] or just get one of the cheaper Sonys. My advice is that Sony is the best CD player makers around.Any questions? email me ... | 0negative

Spend more get more
I had been looking for such a device for a long time, something to record speech, take notes, etc. After much looking around I settled on the IAudio CW200. The 256MB or the cheaper 128MB models store hours and hours of voice AND... it's MP3 and an FM radio and it's no heaver or larger than this device. Yes it's more expensive (about 3x) but for all the extra features and one less device to carry around its well worth it.Another possibility is the iRiver iFP-180T 128 MB MP3 Player which is only about 2x also with MP3 and Voice. | 0negative

*Generally the look is okay, the fit & finish is poor. I had to disassemble & reassemble mine.*The feature set is a big plus. JPGs, AVIs, & MP3s in the same box is cool.*You can load an MP3 to play over a slideshow.*The MV-800 says it supports Microdrives, it does not (the slot is physically too small, and x-acto knife will fix the problem, but you may not be so inclined.)*The big problem is it does not show more than 511 photos. I am a photographer, and I have a few thousand photos to show. Upon attempting to load the 512th photo, it locks up, and needs to be power cycled.*Tech support is terrible. The phone number (888) 999-0732 is never answered, the messages are never returned.I give it 2 stars, because it will work for a person without microdrives, and only 511 pictures. | 0negative

Too good to be true. . .
Just got the Combo charger pack for my Zune. Zune works great, but I don't think the Combo items are functional at all. AC charger produces a"Battery" and "!" graphic on the Zune (not the normal charging graphic). The interface on the USB cable does not appear to be the same size as that on the AC or car adapter.This and other bargain-priced after-market items may be priced just low-enough to get you to purchase and to not be worth the trouble to return.One star because Amazon won't post the review without it.Beware. | 0negative

Crappy Amazon Shipping job
Nice camera for the money,if you don't mind it being a little bulkier than all the stylish cameras out there. Personally I find that the extra size helps take a little better picture because it gives you a better grip and a more comfortable shooting pose, without having to struggle not to cover either the flash sensor, which will screw up your exposure, or keep fingers out of the picture. It has a nice sized screen and face detection technology seems to work OK. Also has an actual view finder as a backup which is a must since bright sunshine washes detail out of even the most expensive screen, much less a bargain price camera. It could probably use a stabilzation option, but seems to work fine without it, even at 4x optical. My one gripe is a big one. This was ordered as a Christmas present, from Amazon itself, and while it got there in a timely manner, the shipping box it was sent in (about the same thickness as a dixie cup), was broken open, and half of the airbag shock absorbers were punctured and hanging out of the carton when it was delivered. Fortunately the Canon packaging was intact, and the camera undamaged, but it did certainly spoil the surprise long before I got there. Obviously made it more likely to be stolen in shipping or on the doorstep as well. I have received many items bought from Amazon without incident, and up to now, the packaging has been more than adequate. But packing an item like a camera in a box that looked like it was designed for Hostess Cupcakes is inexcusable. | 1positive

Great Player great price Great Value
I had been looking for an MP3 player when i stumbled onto this little gadget. It;s perfect, instead of getting an over priced and harder to use MP3 player, i got the iriver 350. Works wonderfully, i've had it for about 4 months now and i gotta say the battery time is amazing, i flew to spain listening to it the entire flight(~8-9h) and still had four days of reg listening time(~3h/day). Do the math thats a whopping 20+ hours on one charge. The only problem i can find for this player is it's durability. It's not flimsy or anything but its no panasinic shockwave either. I'm always scared to keep in in my hands or put it away in a bag because i might break it. It's a little wide when you put the aux batt on but i went out and got an Eastpack bookbag made for Cd players. The CD player stays inside in a neat and sturdy compartment while the remote comes through a hole in the material and gets straped onto the side. This is a great value player and btw the upgradeble filmware will save u a bundle! | 1positive

garbled incoming messages, broke after 2 years
The quality of the outgoing message was good, but the incoming messages had poor quality. I often had to listen to messages several times. Messages coming from cell phones were usually impossible to decipher. The extra background noise added to the already poor sound quality just turned the messages to complete garble. Today, after two years, it just stopped answering. I turned it off, to see if I could reset it. It would not turn back on again. I unplugged it and plugged it back in. The lights came back on, but I don't know whether it is going to accept messages again.The buttons and settings were easy to use, so this was a plus. | 0negative

What a bargain!
These earbuds are a real bargain, and I think are worth at least three times what I paid for them. If you want an inexpensive replacement for the crappy earbuds that come with most mp3 players, then these are a good choice. I only wish they also came in black rather than just white, but that's a minor quibble and doesn't diminish their value in my opinion. A big 5 stars for these babies! | 1positive

Not worth buying...
Bought the iTrip as a gift for a friend as I used to have an old model that I use on my car. This new model never worked! He had a new Ipod and it didn't work. Nothing! It even made his Ipod's screen go blank! His Ipod was one of the new models so I tried it on my old Ipod. Still,nothing. Did the same thing with my Ipod, screen went blank. I tried it on my IPhone 3G and still didn't work. | 0negative

Not sensitive enough
I bought this for the new iPad and discovered that you have to press pretty hard to get it to register. Bought the AmazonBasics one to replace it and that one works very well. Don't get this one. | 0negative
