I replaced my roortop UHF only antenna with a VHF/UHF antenna to get all stations. I am glad I did that since I also get FM signals. My uncle also has a Terk antenna and can not get Channels 7 and (DC Stations) and Channels 11 and 13 (Baltimore Stations). He did get those stations on their UHF frequencies.
I have Directv and watch both HDNet and HDNet Movies regularly along with MGMHD and Universal HD. I find these channels more entertaining than premium movie channels.
After the problems both my brother and I had with our 1400 player (Samsung charged us both $50 to replace a bad component) and problems I have heard about 1500 players, I would be very leery about getting the 1600 players. Reliability of Samsung players has gone downhill. I replaced my 1400 with a Sony 350.
I contacted Samsung today and was told that Samsung has not released a firmware update for playing Fantastic 4 or Pirates of the Caribbean. My BD-P1000 will not read a cd with the 1.2 firmware update eventhough I followed Samsung's directions provided with the download.
Per today's Washington Post, the Smithsonian HD will debut on Wednesday exclusively on DirecTV.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I need help! I want a small pocket camcorder but I'm not sure which one to get. I don't want to fall into the hype of the Flip because I worry two hours won't be enough. What should I be looking for when considering a small camcorder and where can I get a good quality one with expandable memory? Thanks!"
