So do any of these turn the PS3 on and off? I have the BluWave, and it is my only complaint on it.
Some of these may already be on BD

1. Bad Boys 1 & 2
2. U571 (the low end audio in the depth charg scene is rediculous)
3. Shawshank Redemption
4. Finding Nemo
5. Lion King
6. Footloose (long story why I put this one on here)
7. Original Star Wars
Satcasters are not providing 1080p content regularily. You have to DL it and it takes hours, and the quality is NOT near BluRay as they are advertising. They will probably get sued for it soon too.

I have used the STA1520, and it works as advertised. Makes me wish I hadn't sold my TiVoHD.

I work with SDV all day long. Cable will not go 100% SDV in the near future, rather use it for lesser watched stations, and in our case, HD programming.
I am in charge of SDV rollout in my area, and almost all of this article is right on except for one major error:

"Believe it or not, first-generation (read: the ones that everyone has right now) CableCARDs do not posses the ability to talk back to the cable system. What it can do is listen, but it cannot actually request that anything be sent. Thus, CableCARDs are addressed as "one-way" devices."

Yes, it is true that the original cable cards are in fact one way. The new version of cable cards, deemed multi-stream, are in fact two way, but need to be in a converter or other item that has two way capability. As the former owner of a TiVo HD, I feel the pain that some do, but the benefits of SDV, and the fact that it puts food on my table, greatly outweight the inability to not fully use my TiVo.

If anyone has questions, please ask. I will answer them if I can, or am allowed to.
Thanks for the kudos. I am the one in charge of adding these, and added Disney, Toon and ABC Family on Monday. Good to see my hard work talked about... 8-)
I just took my daughter to see Kung Fu Panda there today. WOW!!!!! Highly recommend that movie on that screen.
My daughter lives in Cumming, GA, and we just went to see Kung Fu Panda on the 4K today. Holy %&$*!!!!! That is all that I can say. It looked UNBELIEVABLE!!! Perfect movie for the 4K!!!
The 10dB pad on the back of the Moto box is insteresting.
I have a TiVo HD with lifetime service and a 500GB external drive for $700 with free shipping. Email me at domjr1976@rochester.rr.com if interested.

I love the unit, and it has a lot of cool features for sure, but my cable system is very heavy into SDV, so I miss out on a lot. I know that a 2way option is supposed to be getting put out soon, but I already have 3 DVRs from my employer / cable company.

Let me know if you are interested.
I have been using the Belkin Tunebase (I had to modify it a bit, and use another iPod to program in the station I was going to use) for my iPhone in my vehciel. I get MAJOR GSM noise when the phone rings, so I leave the iPhone in Airplane mode and forward my calls to a second phone. Does anyone know of a solution for vehicles that is immune to the GSM Buzz??
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am looking for a device that will stream sound from one source to several recipients. For example, I want to stream sound from my TV or stereo to my phone or MP3 player that has radio and Bluetooth capabilities. I have looked into radio transmitters and they seem like a decent choice, but I can't find one that uses external power (USB or from the plug) and I would want one with a transmit range of around 50 meters. Thanks!"
