Editorial Review The biggest boost yet for satellite radio has to be Delphi's radiant MyFi XM2GO portable satellite radio receiver and digital music player. The MyFi can record and play back up to 5 hours of XM's digital programming whenever and wherever you choose. It requires a subscription to XM satellite radio ($12.95/month), but just Read more

Lemon!
I thought the notion of a portable was wonderful. I'm very sorry I purchased this particular unit. It never after the first week worked off the cradle (bad battery? On a new unit?). The unit keypad stopped working completely after a couple of weeks. In order to use this "portable", I have to have it cradled and use the remote--otherwise, I cannot use it away from home.
TRUE ALL-IN-ONE XM RADIO EXPERIENCE!
Bought this because someone stole my Roady2 from my car. When I bought the Roady2, I had to buy a separate kit to play at home. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but it makes me appreciate this Delphi unit even more. Literally everything is included for car and home use, as well as attaching it to your belt. I point the antenna south, and get max reception in both the mountains and central part of NC. My favorite feature is clicking through the stations by category, instead of having to go through each station. Much easier! And being able to record favorites for later use-WOW!
A suggestion
I just received this radio and love everything about it.I would suggest to anyone who is planning on using this for home use to either order a set of small pc type speakers when you order your radio or see if you have an extra set at home already.I found that while it is in the home unit you have to listen with the ear buds, but you cannot adjust the volume on the radio unless it is out of the home stand (for portable use).If you plug in a set of small speakers where the earbuds go, you can adjust the volume on your speakers and everything is just fine.At first I thought my radio was faulty because I couldn't adjust the volume, but after working with it for awhile, this is what I found out.I could hear OK with just the earbuds, but it was too loud for my liking.

what planet are we on
#1 Very little power. Hooked up to my ipod through the headphone jack with the volume maxed on both you can't make out much from across the room.
Great Product
I have read all the other reviews for this product and find them to be good.The only thing I did not see is the fact that you can split the connection to the system with a simple head phone splitter from radio shack.Don't worry if both audio inputs are on at the same time the thing won't blow up.
Great sound for the price!
I bought these speakers specifically to go with my IPod and to be used in my office.They work great.I also have a Bose SoundDock at home and I honestly have to tell you I think that the Creature II's sound 95% as good as the Bose at a fraction of the cost.I like them so much that I bought a second pair for our vacation home.The only draw back is that some people might not like the design.The Bose unit is cleaner and easier to just set on a shelf.I don't think that you will be disappointed if you buy Creature II's.

With the 80 GB hard drive and DVD recorder combined with PVR (personal video recorder) functionality, you can save all your favorite shows for later, more convenient viewing. It includes the TV Guide On-Screen programming guide, which lets you easily search through programming and set up either the DVD or PVR (hard drive) recorder to record them unattended. Explore program listings up to eight days in advance, searching by genre or keyword to help narrow down your choices. Once you've found what you want in the listings, simply select the program and the DMR-EH55S will automatically begin recording at the preset time.

Cannot do schedule recording to VHS
I've used my Panasonic EH75VS DVD Recorder for 3 weeks now.
Excellent Converegence Deck
Several people have written excellent reviews of the Panasonic's ability to edit and record TV, in addition to VCR-DVD archiving, and I suggest looking at those reviews below. I would just like to add a few comments on my, so far limited, experience with this deck.
Panasonic DVD recorder
Overall I am very pleased with the new DVD recorder.I didn't really need the VCR part of it and I don't use the SD card slot so I find that having to go through the different drives to get from DVD to HDD is a bit annoying.Also since I have used the previous model and they changed my Input button (which is now hidden in the middle of the remote) to the Drive select button I always hit the wrong button.And they did not make the chapter button green as it was on the older models remote.I solved that with a green magic marker!Anyway it seems a bit faster than my old model and the new approach to listing the amount of time on each chapter in view chapters works for me.Also Panasonic answered a question I had with very good expertise so I am glad to recommend this model to everyone.

Editorial Review Get the sharpest and clearest images possible from HD and standard TV with with the 50-inch Samsung HL-S5087W DLP television, which features a full progressive HD 1920 x 1080-pixel reslution digital format converter for all inputs (and true 1920 x 1080p picture from via HDMI). A contrast ratio of up to 10000:1 captures blacker blacks, crisper whites and images that burst into life. And the high-speed of the DLP chip, with millions of tiny mirrors that switch on and off over 15,000 times per second, delivers a precise, razor-sharp picture. It has a built-in analog/digital (NTSC/ATSC) tuner, offers both HDMI and component video connections, . It also features a smaller footpring than other high-definition TVs (with a "hidden speaker" thin bezel), fitting where many other large-screen HDTVs won't. Read more

Satisfied Samsung User
I bought this TV with high expectation and I am still amazed by its quality.
Absolutely Amazing!
If you are in the market to buy a new HDTV....buy this Samsung! I don't even know where to start. But I have had my Samsung 61" for 2 days now and it is by far the BEST tv I have ever seen. The 61" is even bigger in my living room than it looks in the store showroom. Amazon's service was nothing short of Professional when handling my pre-order and getting my Samsung DLP delivered safely and quicker then estimated.
Oh my heavens
Let me first start by saying this tv is an upgrade from my 13inch aiwa, I just bought a new condo and decided to get a good tv. And man is it!

EtonRed Cross Emergency Radio
This radio is poorly built. When you set it down the little door in back opens and the batteries fall out. You put them back in, carefully set it down, then when you pick it back up the little battery door falls open and the batteries fall out again...Now, I put rubber bands around the whole radio to keep the battery door in place....stay away from this particular model unless you have lots of rubber bands...good luck and thanks for the opportunity to write the review...
Does Everything You'd Need In A Disaster
I was hesitant to get this, since other reviewers gave it poor ratings on reception.Now that I bought it, I'm very glad I have it.It does all the things you might want in a disaster, inluding a flashlight, red flashing light (especially if your car breaks down at night), a siren (if you're trapped in a building), AC, battery, and crank power, and multiple radio bands.While some reviewers complained of not getting a lot of stations, in a disaster, you only need a few stations, as everyone will be broadcasting disaster news.Between the AM, FM, TV, and NOAA bands, my radio will received a huge number of stations--many more than would ever be needed in a disaster.(I didn't try the cellphone charging function.)It comes in a carrying case.
Poor Design for an Emergency Necessity
I will not be sending this item to my frail 85-year old mother in law to help her survive in hurricane alley on the west coast of Florida.It is virtually impossible to open the battery case cover to assemble the rechargeable battery connection for this radio.Most folks wo |
