Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
Having been on U-Verse for almost a year, I've found it to be a mixed bag. As others have commented, prices are less than many of the competitors.
I guess that every coin has two sides. Some of the "challenges" with which I've recently been working through with multiple tech support calls and technician visits. Set top box replacements due to DVR programs showing a black screen, including the recent Superbowl (that was almost a deal breaker...period).
I have lost well over half of my recorded programs in the last week and have lost confidence in my dvr's ability to record and retain the programs.
I have also been noticing sound cutting out during HD broadcasts, both through my TV and 7.1 channel surround sound system.
Ongoing electro-magnetic interference from electric appliances causing massive pixelation and then a total freeze of the broadcast, requiring a hard reboot has yet to be resolved.
Some of the above issues are addressed in some of the online forums as "known issues". My question is if they are known, what is preventing them from being resolved?
