I went with the APC S20 and it has worked great. I got the best price from the avsforum online store. It is a true sine wave battery backup and weighs about 70lbs. I run my HTPC and Pioneer 60" off of it currently and it never misses a beat. I wanted something with a battery backup and not...

Also, see if your TV & video card have black level or grayscale settings. You want the computer & TV to be setup to handle the same grayscale range otherwise you will see banding or clipping. The grayscale range of 0-255 is standard output for a computer even over HDMI (0=Black & 255=White)...

I have seen alot of people plugging in surge strips to UPS's in order to add plugs for additional hardware (I have been guilty of this in the past as well). The act of adding outlets to a large battery backup (1500w) for small devices is perfectly acceptable but you should not use surge strips...

I support this answer. I lived in a house with a 50" plasma above the fireplace for several years and the mounting bracket had a tilt feature which helped alot, but if you dont have a nice couch to rest your head on your neck will get sore in short order looking up at the TV. One nice thing...

If you put it above the fireplace make sure you have a tilt feature. The ideal TV placement is aligning the middle of the screen vertically with your eye level when sitting on a couch.

If you use your fireplace often it can lead to premature TV failure. The wall behind the TV will heat up quite a bit whenever the fireplace is on, which will add to the heat already coming off the TV. If you still want to keep the TV mounted above the fireplace then you need to drill a hole...

I upgraded and my voicemail is all screwed up. I have two voicemail icons and it keeps saying I have 24 voice messages when I have none.

The best way to handle this is to have an email exchange server at work that your phone can sync with over the air. This is the preferred method for contact, calendar, and email sync. Microsoft offers an alternative with "cloud" sync and Hotmail for those that do not have access to an exchange...

You are definitely entitled to your opinion but from my experience with the EVO 4G working in a business environment these are great improvements. I am leaving Android behind when WP7.1 arrives. If you watch the keynote address and other associated videos it will inform you better than I can...

Windows Phone 7.1 will have several things done better than Android. For one apps are more tightly integrated with the OS, so the apps function like part of the phone instead of separate entities. Emailing and messaging are a step above Android with the new email thread feature, group feature...

I thought I would bump this since I have seen some threads pop up about streaming to Android devices

I have a solution for Android devices: See the thread I started regarding DynDNS, Remote Potato, Remote Media Center, & VPlayer for Android below. You need to have a HTPC or computer setup to act as a server. I setup this system in under 15min and it is free except for the $5 or so for...
