Samsung MR-00EA1 MediaLive Digital Media Adapter

April 14th, 2010

Samsung MR-00EA1 MediaLive Digital Media Adapter First, I was concerned about the location: our existing Samsung 32″ TV is mounted onto the framed backside of the pantry by the dining room table. I didn’t think I was going to be able to put it behind the TV, and if it had to go inside the pantry the remote wouldn’t work. Both points were met (it was small but not small enough – it went inside the pantry).
Pro – small size
Pro – can use your existing TV remote
Pro – includes HDMI cable

Second, my PC didn’t immediately see it, I messed around with router/network/firewall settings before I just recycled the MediaLive, then everything worked perfectly (I have Windows 7, so a little uncertainty there).
Pro – works with Windows 7
Pro – didn’t have to change any firewall/router/network settings after all

Finally, it came up and recognized that there was an update available, so immediately updated and came back online. I use a wired connection, no complaints about the speed or connectivity. I saw and played my recorded TV, but didn’t see any movies. Also, some of the menu items were missing (this is my first Extender). Didn’t know that NetFlix was NOT available for the MediaLive. It didn’t see my Amazon Unbox videos immediately. I had to point it to my folder where the videos were stored before it would see them, and viola – they played perfectly!
Pro – updates itself automatically
Con – doesn’t automatically see your Video libraries
Con – NetFlix not included (I don’t use NetFlix anyways, so no loss for me)
Pro – does play Amazon UnBox

I’m not so concerned about the startup and shutdown time – it wasn’t that bad, nothing to complain about. Also, as I don’t have HD cable on my PC, I haven’t recorded in HD so far. I’m not sure about NetFlix and UnBox HD offerings either…

Overall, great little box if you have a Samsung TV (2008 or newer)!

Sony SAT-T60 DirecTV Receiver with Tivo

April 12th, 2010

Sony SAT-T60 DirecTV Receiver with Tivo It is Superior !!!! – Eric K. Robinson – Philadelphia, Pa USA
I have had this Unit since May 2001. Not a problem From Day One. I recommend the Sony Model and Menu as being greatly superior than the Hughes Models!!!
This was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. The unit is easy-to-use, acts as a DirecTV receiver, and it’s just amazing. It really has revolutionized the way we view television. I think I paid for it, and then 0 for the lifetime TiVo service. This was all in 2001, I believe.

The only flaw is that I did have to send it in for repairs… twice. And yes, Sony’s Customer Service was truly terrible. When they shipped the unit back, they also didn’t include all the cables, etc. that I had sent along with it, so I had to wait until they sent those accessories. I think I had to pay something like in various shipping costs, but ultimately I’ve had the unit for at least 5 years and it is still in everyday use.

Nowadays the units have more features – network connectivity, a better organization of the list of recordings, etc. But I don’t think I’d really use the network feature. The better organization would be nice. However, since I paid the 0 lifetime service, we’re sticking with the Sony T60 for a long, long time.

I gave the unit 4 stars despite the repair woes because, when the unit has been working, it’s been awesome compared to the other boxes offered at the time. Enjoy! Sony: T60 Tapeless digital recording can be yours with Sony’s SAT-T60 DIRECTV Receiver with TiVo Service. Put this combination in your family room to receive programming from all DIRECTV satellites. Then pause live television during any interruption that gets between you and your favorite sporting event or sitcom. Also, feel free to perform your own slow motion and instant replay for a closer look at the action! Get the SAT-T60 with TiVo and watch television your way.
