Filed Under Dish Network, Satellite TV Deals | Leave a Comment
As with everything, satellite providers have competition. The great thing to know is that there are only two, Dish Network and DirecTV. Dish Network has not been on the scene as long as DirecTV, but this does not mean the quality is not present.
Dish Network provides over 250 channels to any satellite family. They have several packages so that you can choose if you want movie, sports, and other channels. Like most even cable, Dish Network provides the lower channels such as USA, FOX, NBC, and those like them in every package. This means you can just have these channels or you can add specialty channels like HBO, Starz, and the sports channels. Dish Network also provides Sirius satellite radio channels.
When you are looking to buy a dish, keep in mind that you need to have the equipment from Dish Network in order to use their service. Each satellite company has a signal that recognizes the individual dishes. This is how they know which channels you have paid for and which ones you have not. This also tells them that you are up to date on payments and have not cancelled service. If you have a DirecTV dish, but no longer wish to use their service for whatever reason, you will need to buy new equipment. There are deals out there to make this process a little less painful on your pocket book. Another thing to keep in mind is that both satellite providers offer the same types of packages for around the same cost. Often one company has different channels.

Apple iPod Nano Review
What is it: Pencil-thin flash MP3 player with 4GB memory and a 38mm colour screen
Just when you thought Apple's standard iPod was saturating the public consciousness, Steve Jobs and company pull another beauty from the company's satchel of wonder. The Apple iPod nano sets new standards for gadget design and stretches the boundaries of technology. It's the world's first 4GB flash player, yet it's also one of the thinnest.
It boasts a bright colour screen that takes advantage of the bigger iPod's photo capabilities. Throw in some ancillary improvements, and you have not only the latest MP3 player phenomenon but also a glance into the future. The flash-based nano (the name is curiously similar to that of Creative's Zen Nano Plus) comes in classic white or black and two capacities: 2GB and 4GB at £139 and £179, respectively. It also replaces the current popular iPod Mini line.
By virtue of a lovely design backed by forward-thinking tech (the first 4GB flash player; a photo-friendly colour screen), Apple will keep its ball rolling swiftly up to Christmas. The nano's capacity will turn off many experienced MP3 fans, but we have a feeling that newbies will flock to the next big thing and help maintain Apple's 85 per cent UK market share for all digital audio players.
Design
The Apple iPod nano is a design wonder at 40 by 90 by 7mm and 42g. The last two numbers are key -- the thing is incredibly thin and light. It looks much smaller in person than in photos, and it truly fits anywhere, comfortably and sometimes invisibly. We've been told that the iPod nano is 62 per cent smaller than the product it's replacing, the iPod Mini. The nano, in terms of MP3 design standards, changes everything. Now, the Creative Zen Micro looks fat, the iRiver H10 looks monstrous and the Mini looks outdated. Of course, the others are microdrive-based players -- the nano is a flash-based player, the first to hit 4GB. A few companies released 2GB models earlier this year but priced them at much more than £140. The 4GB player holds about 1,000 songs or 25,000 photos, while the 2GB version holds about 500 tunes.
We have to admit that the nano is rather pricey, so we recommend spending the extra £40 to double your capacity. Consumers, after all, have witnessed a rise in price per gigabyte as compared to the 6GB iPod Mini and the Zen Micro. But again, flash is the key word -- it doesn't skip a beat and is much less susceptible to damage, and without it, the iPod nano could never be so thin. A skinnier device would be impractical in terms of both usability and fragility. Not only does the iPod nano's existence as the most luxurious flash-based MP3 player in the world lower flash-based MP3 player prices, but also it signals the slow demise of the relatively new microdrive market. We'll see 6GB and 10GB flash-based models someday, though maybe not soon enough for those who simply cannot consider a player with less than 10GB to store their existing or growing music collections.
The iPod nano's overall design mimics its stouter brother, with the same reflective stainless steel backside, as well as a smaller 38mm (1.5-inch) colour screen and 32mm Click Wheel, compared to the iPod's 51mm and 44mm respectively. A solitary hold switch is located on top, while a standard dock connector port and a headphone jack are located underneath. The dock connector opens up an enormous world of accessories, though some may not be ideal. For instance, the iPod nano works with Altec Lansing's iM7 boombox, albeit awkwardly.
The headphone jack has an unusual but necessary placement near the lower-right corner, as one wouldn't physically fit on the top. Though it may seem to get in the way, the headphone cable can have a stabilising effect when you hold the device. It's more natural to slide the iPod nano into a jeans pocket as well, and of course, the placement makes sense when considering the optional lanyard that transforms the iPod nano into a wearable device. However, because the jack lacks a four-pin smart connector, the iPod nano can't be used with certain accessories, including wired remote controls.
Unlike the iPod mini, the iPod nano has a thin layer of glossy acrylic on its face, much like the original iPod and the company's line of iBooks. It's therefore very susceptible to scratches and, for the black version, fingerprints. Scratches have a charming effect for some devices, but they take away from the nano's lustre. The iPod nano has no moving internal parts, so it's an ideal fitness companion, especially with an Armband (£19 from Apple). It's definitely not as rugged as the LCD-less iPod Shuffle, but thanks to the sturdy steel backside, it can hold its own in terms of durability. However, the device could be bent in half under certain, unlikely circumstances. Source from James Kim
It's certainly easier to operate a full-size iPod, but we have no major complaints about the iPod nano's interface. Holding it is no problem, though some people will be bothered by the reduced range of motion in operating the smaller Click Wheel. The 16-bit, 172x132-pixel colour display is little, but it's bright and colourful and can be used without the backlight in good illumination. It's not an ideal photo viewer, but being able to listen to music while browsing photos is a treat. Because the display is framed by such an attractively thin device, it seems to look better -- whether it's the bevel effect or the appreciation of the overall iPod nano design, we're not sure, but it's one of the most beautiful devices we've ever seen.

Yamaha YSP 4000BL Digital Sound Projector Review
THE solution for having both surround sound and an uncluttered room
I now have the new Yamaha YSP 4000 and having tried it out on over twenty different disks, can say without equivocation that it is amazing. So long as you have a room with a good back wall and at least one sidewall, it will deliver incredibly good 5.1 surround sound. Will it be as good as top end systems with five distinct and separate speakers costing $5,000 or more? Of course not. Will it be as good as or better than receiver/speaker systems available today for $3.000? Yes. In other words, this newest Yamaha stands clearly at the point of diminishing returns. After installing it and listening to it, you may decide that you do not need a subwoofer. It did Chicago beautifully. I decided I wanted one for some of the accurate bass on great classical music.
The setup is easy, but when the screen tells you to get out of the room - GO! The sounds emitted during the setup are designed to send cats and dogs into fits of madness. Do not try to audition this unit in a 'big box' store. It relies on nearby walls to help it work. If you have a friend who has taken the plunge, go and listen to it within a real listening area. Anyone who lives in or visits Central FL leave a comment on this thread and I will cheerfully invite you to visit and make up your own mind. If you live in a place where you cannot drill holes in your wall or if you do not want wires and speakers all over the place - this may be the solution for you. It was for me.

Amazon Kindle Review
I’ll be the first to admit that e-books suck. There’s nothing that screams dork more than an e-book. E-books are the future. Apparently there is some miscommunication going on and some are under the impression that I think e-books are not the future. I, like many others, enjoy the real thing. There’s just something comforting about having a paper book to carry around, to bunny ear, scratch notes on, highlight words/phrases and whatever else you may like to do. The refresh rates suck and you just want to pull your hair out while waiting for the next page to load. You don’t know how far along you are in the book. Those are just a couple reasons among a slew of arguments to hate e-books. Although, part of me thinks it’s a waste of resources even if it’s made from recycled paper. Traditional books have their pros and cons, but e-books are just janky and stupid, right? Well, yes, they are, but the Kindle from Amazon is a different beast.
My initial impressions were pretty off. I just wasn’t all that impressed and sort of left it on my desk for half a day, but I always want to floss the latest in technology when traveling so I brought it along for my trip to the Bay Area for turkey day. I figured I’d at least have Internet access while waiting at the airport. Then I started to tinker around with it as I got bored with the browser, which is phenomenal, but we’ll get to that later. The Kindle is a well thought out product. It incorporates the New American Oxford Dictionary and Wikipedia, which is extremely helpful when you have no idea what’s being said in an article from the NYT, Time, CrunchGear or any one of the books available from Amazon. I often find myself not knowing the definition of a particular word and I always tell myself I’ll grab the dictionary and look it up. I also tend to highlight phrases or passages that I’d like to share with others or just keep for myself, but I can’t always find them when I need them. These are just a few examples that I know many of you find yourselves in as well. Kindle takes care of all that. If you’re reading a book/magazine/newspaper and you need to look up the definition of something then do a quick search without ever leaving that page. It’s that simple. The Search function on Kindle is superb as it checks the Web, Wikipedia, New American Oxford Dictionary, Kindle Store and any book/magazine/blog that’s on your Kindle. It’s the most comprehensive search engine I’ve seen and it’s on an e-book of all places! If you need to highlight something then go right ahead. Want to take a few notes in a particular section then do it. Any notes or highlighting you do shows up on the main menu under the “My Clippings” category. Need to know how far you are in the book? If you’re like me then yes you do. At the bottom of the screen is an indicator bar that fills itself in as you go along. Navigating through books is as easy as any paper book. If you need to check out the table of contents or you need to jump to the beginning or go to a specific location then do so by way of the menu. You can add a bookmark, though, the last page you were on is always remembered. Bookmarks show up under “My Clippings” as well. Can it get any easier? I don’t think so.
As far as the hardware goes, it’s fantastic. I’ve adapted to the keyboard and it’s quite easy to use. However, I don’t really enjoy the placement of the navigation buttons. I fidget around quite a bit and I find myself accidentally hitting the next page button a lot. It’s annoying, but I do like that the buttons are so big. The scroll wheel is neat, but it attracts a lot of lint and dust and anything else floating around since it’s sticky, but I’m just being super picky. As I said before, the refresh rate is outstanding. There’s really no lag when jumping from page to page. Text is visible in just about any lighting situation and font size can be adjusted however you like. I just wish it supported SDHC, but that’s only because my largest SD card is 2GB. It’s nice to be able to transfer your files to and from the SD card depending on how much content you already have. Music playback on the Kindle is quite good, though, any music that’s loaded is on shuffle and you can’t even see what you actually loaded so pick your music wisely. It’s under the Experimental category so I won’t harp on it too much. The Kindle automatically goes into sleep mode if it’s left untouched for 10 minutes. It’s a bit awkward at first, but it eventually becomes quite comfortable. I can’t comment on battery life just yet, but I’ll update once I know what the approximate range is for just viewing and when EVDO is activated.
All other material that you subscribe to is easy to view and gives you the option of a traditional look like on your computer or a truncated list of just headlines. It’s very simple and that’s the whole point. You just want to read articles without obnoxious ads distracting you from finding out that the U.N. says Somalia is the worst humanitarian crisis in Africa. Kudos to you, Amazon.
The Web browsing experience is very good so long as the sites you frequent aren’t Java-based. As long as it’s mostly text then you should be fine. You’re on Sprint’s EVDO network so it’s quick and it’s free. I just Facebooked while I was waiting for my flight. The standard site sucked, but the mobile site was a breeze because the screen is so large. The fact that you get free Internet is a huge plus in my opinion and what other e-book has that? Who knows if Amazon will start charging in the future, but for now it’s free and it’s awesome. Books literally take a minute or so to download. That’s the beauty of the Kindle. You never have to sync with your computer to receive your books. Don’t worry about accidentally deleting books off your Kindle because it’s all backed up on a server just for Kindle users.
Here are just a couple of things that I haven’t played around with or tested. I haven’t e-mailed anything to the Kindle because I just didn’t have the time, I don’t know what the e-mail address is because this is Biggs’ Kindle and I don’t know what the “small fee” to Amazon for reformatting entails. The Kindle doesn’t support PDF so there’s no point in trying to make that work. I wonder if and when this will be hacked. As I mentioned before, I’m not sure on the battery life so I’ll have to get back to you, folks, on that one. I also didn’t use Ask Kindle NowNow, but I think Erick had a few comments on that over at TC.

Now that I’ve had a positive experience with an e-book, I find myself asking if this is something I’ll continue to use. No, I won’t. I won’t use just any e-book. After the Kindle everything else on the market pales in comparison. I’m actually going to purchase books since some are as cheap as $3.19. I can’t say enough about the free Internet! Is it worth the $399 price tag? Maybe not, but it could be very soon if the hackers get to it. I dig the Kindle and I hope people give it a chance because it’s a great device and I think it’ll put a fire under some asses in the e-book industry.

FCC approved--3G Nokia
Currently, the only way to get your hands on the Nokia N95 mega-multimedia phone here in the US was as an imported unlocked version. Which is on the pricey side, to say the least. But with news today that the 8 GB version of the 3G-enabled N95 has passed FCC muster, we should be seeing it sometime in the next few months in AT&T's growing stable of phones (and possibly T-Mobile, which has been slowly releasing 3G phones in anticipation of its 3G network rollout). And that, coupled with most assuredly a multi-year contract, will get you the N95 for much less.
If you're not familiar with this super-phone, it features a two-way slider design (sliding one way to open the keypad, and the other to reveal media playback controls), a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss-sourced optics, Wi-Fi connectivity, VGA video capture at 30 frames per second, embedded GPS receiver, 2.8-inch screen, and TV output.

Living with Vision
Source from Maggie Erotokritou
As we welcome in the New Year, we stand on the threshold of a new dawn that offers many wonderful openings and opportunities. As you continue on your path of awakening and the unfoldment of who you truly are, the call to live your full potential and express yourself from the deepest level of your being becomes stronger and clearer. This year, 2007, promises to be an interesting year, with an intensification of the energies that are available to us and a further purification of that which still needs to be released.
Change and newness are definitely in the air, new beginnings, new ways of doing things and the chance to create and recreate and to expand our field of knowingness and what we wish to experience. The more deeply you understand that you create your own reality, and the more you can accept and take responsibility for what you have created and continue to create, the more empowered you will become.
My vision in creating this newsletter Living with Vision, is to inspire and motivate, and to support and empower you on your path of self development and self realization in the best possible way that I can. In our New Year's day group meditation, what came to me so clearly was that we are pure vessels of creation with the ability to express ourselves in any way that we choose and that our creativity is unlimited and unbounded, and it is up to us to use our creative potential in the broadest and wisest way that we possibly can. In so doing, we get glimpses into who we truly are and can then grow into these new ways of being. As the radiant light of your being shines through clearer and clearer, you will get glimmers and insights into what you wish to create, and then the whole field of possibilities will open itself up to you and offer a wealth of information that becomes accessible and allows you to integrate it into your life.
Reflecting on the past as it came to an end, was a really important task and if you did not have the time to do this, I would sincerely urge you to do it now, there is still time, it assists in bringing certain cycles to an end. This conscious closure also helps you to get a clearer indication of the direction you now wish to move in and any important changes you want to make in your life and what you would like to embrace and achieve in this new year of 2007. By setting your intentions, you hold the energy for that which you wish to manifest.
As you reflect on these things, out of that will come the knowledge of how you wish to proceed, what you now want to do differently and what new things you want to bring into your life. This is a good time for new creations, so start to plant the seeds of what you want to create. Don't let life just pull you here and there, become really conscious, be open to the unexpected, be flexible and open-minded and at the same time stay grounded, centered and aligned with that you wish to create, as you watch the unfoldment of your life with interest and co-create with the universe. The more conscious you are of what it is you wish to manifest, the more likelihood there is that you will achieve that which you desire.
As we welcome in the New Year, we stand on the threshold of a new dawn that offers many wonderful openings and opportunities. As you continue on your path of awakening and the unfoldment of who you truly are, the call to live your full potential and express yourself from the deepest level of your being becomes stronger and clearer. This year, 2007, promises to be an interesting year, with an intensification of the energies that are available to us and a further purification of that which still needs to be released.
Change and newness are definitely in the air, new beginnings, new ways of doing things and the chance to create and recreate and to expand our field of knowingness and what we wish to experience. The more deeply you understand that you create your own reality, and the more you can accept and take responsibility for what you have created and continue to create, the more empowered you will become.
My vision in creating this newsletter Living with Vision, is to inspire and motivate, and to support and empower you on your path of self development and self realization in the best possible way that I can. In our New Year's day group meditation, what came to me so clearly was that we are pure vessels of creation with the ability to express ourselves in any way that we choose and that our creativity is unlimited and unbounded, and it is up to us to use our creative potential in the broadest and wisest way that we possibly can. In so doing, we get glimpses into who we truly are and can then grow into these new ways of being. As the radiant light of your being shines through clearer and clearer, you will get glimmers and insights into what you wish to create, and then the whole field of possibilities will open itself up to you and offer a wealth of information that becomes accessible and allows you to integrate it into your life.
Reflecting on the past as it came to an end, was a really important task and if you did not have the time to do this, I would sincerely urge you to do it now, there is still time, it assists in bringing certain cycles to an end. This conscious closure also helps you to get a clearer indication of the direction you now wish to move in and any important changes you want to make in your life and what you would like to embrace and achieve in this new year of 2007. By setting your intentions, you hold the energy for that which you wish to manifest.
As you reflect on these things, out of that will come the knowledge of how you wish to proceed, what you now want to do differently and what new things you want to bring into your life. This is a good time for new creations, so start to plant the seeds of what you want to create. Don't let life just pull you here and there, become really conscious, be open to the unexpected, be flexible and open-minded and at the same time stay grounded, centered and aligned with that you wish to create, as you watch the unfoldment of your life with interest and co-create with the universe. The more conscious you are of what it is you wish to manifest, the more likelihood there is that you will achieve that which you desire.
