"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
Recently picked up the Samsung MediaLive Digital Media Adapter and have been using it on my Samsung 46A650 television for about three days. Does a nice job playing multimedia content (pictures/mpeg video) directly from my computer via a wireless connection and the interface is top notch (uses Windows Media Center).
However, I'm very disapointed with the adapter's codec support. First off, it doesn't support flash - so forget about YouTube or .flv videos. Also, doesn't support a whole host of streaming video content (windows media, RayV, etc), which you discover when you try to play video through proprietary services offered through WMC. As for so called Netflix on-demand support....where is that? Using a third-party plugin for WMC, I was unable to get Netflix films to run.
Overall, this unit has lots of potential, but I certainly hope that future software updates will provide better codec support.
We purchased the Samsung MediaLive Digital Media Adapter from ABT Electronics. Hooked it up and although the computer could see the TV (Samsung pn50A650) and the TV could see the media player and screen said everything was set up properly, all attempts to use the MediaLive failed. After countless calls to Samsung, who were stumped at all levels, they offerred to send out a tech to service the TV, which has nothing wrong with it. We called ABT who were stumped as well and suggested that we return the MediaLive and they would send a new one in the event that it was defective. Hooked up the new one and had the same problems. Called Samsung several times and they listen to the whole story, walk through the set up process with us, agree that it should work and when it doesn't, we get disconnected! Did you have any problems with the initial set up?
