The MagicJack installed and set up in minutes. If you are looking for the lowest cost VOIP solution, it does not get any better than $59.99 the first year and $35 for each year thereafter.

I bought this because my computer is getting warmer when I stress out that 3rd generation i3 chip. Works great as a docking station with its 4 USB hub and it runs quiet. Also vey nice adjustable pad. I like that feature more than I thought I would when I was looking at it at the store.

...it is hooked up to my Surface Pro docking station so I have a large monitor that doubles as a TV when I'm at my desk. On sale for $137. A similar monitor would have cost twice that!

First thing I noticed was the low profile of the machine. It sits on a desk/table under bookshelves where I have less than 12" of clearance, and it's perfect there. Other machines were too tall. I wanted an all in one that just worked with no "issues", and this fit the bill perfectly. Real easy to set up and for $149. its a real winner for me. I was told by another customer to buy this model because she just did and loved it! I'm saying the same thing, it does what I need it to do without any problems. I'm not a heavy user so I can't comment if it is or isn't a workhorse, and I have only had it for less than 2 months...also be sure to get the ink subscription, also real easy to set up and my first shipment arrived and is on the shelf for when I need it... no last minute running out to the store because the ink ran out!

Antennas Direct - ClearStream 2V Long-Range HDTV Antenna - Black/Silver
Enjoy a crisp and clear digital TV signal with this Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V C2-V-CJM long-range HDTV antenna that is specially tuned to receive high-quality DTV signals, including UHF and VHF frequencies, from more than 60 miles.

I ended up with this antenna after trying some of the others available at BB. After much research into antenna technology, I came to the conclusion that the industry is rife with ridiculous claims of how "powerful" the more expensive antennas are...NOT!! It's really very simple, the "power" of a radio or tv signal is supplied by the transmitting antenna which is regulated by the FCC, NOT the receiving antenna unless you are using a costly signal booster which increases the signal strength of whatever signal(s) including unwanted static you are receiving. So if you are trying to get a clear signal from a distant transmitter you will end up with a stronger signal but not clearer because the booster strengthens all the frequencies.
As for "reaching" a distant transmitter signal from over 70 miles is not very likely since the FCC limits transmitter power so as not to reach a neighboring transmitters signal limit of the same frequency. So when you see a manufacturers claim of reaching a distant signal from 100 to 150 or more miles away it's all BS. My best advice is start with an antenna that you can stick on your wall or window facing your local transmitters, if it works great, you'll only spend $20-$40. If it doesn't work well take it back and then try this one. I like it because the antenna is one of only a few "dual element" antennas on the market. The importance of a dual element is that radio and tv signals have different wave shape characteristics based on frequency. Notice the figure "8" shaped element of the antenna is optimized for UHF signals, and the "bipole" on the top of the antenna is optimized for VHF signals. Keep in mind all antennas work best outside and up off the ground above rooflines (higher is better) with a clear line of site (if possible) to the transmitter(s) you want to receive. There are several websites that will locate for you which transmitters are "reachable" in your area. That's all you need to know about getting a good reception, forget the hype!! It's very simple!!

Does this printer use dye or pigmented inks?
Dye based inks seem to fade quickly, and photos become a mess if a drop of water hits them. That is why I'm looking for pigmented inks.
How do I contact someone at HP with specific questions about their printers/AIOs. I plan to buy a new one soon for photos, text, scan documents, and send FAXes.
Thanks!
Dave,

Dave,
Dave, I have no idea what the ink is made of. I use it for general printing and it prints a nice page. I have not tried it with photo paper or anything that requires a high quality picture. It is a very nice general all purpose printer. Much better that previous generations. I would go to HP.com for technical details. If I'm printing pictures and looking for real high quality. This is not the right machine for that purpose.

How can I get my satellite channels on more than 1 tv?
I want to view my satellite channels on more than one tv without adding another receiver box. What can I use to do this?
Call your provider, it may be prohibited, which means its stealing if you ignore the warning.

I have had this antennae installed for last year, worked great. Recommended to family and friends. Yesterday abruptly lost all reception. What caused this? Nothing changed with my set up. Has this happened to anyone else? What is the best resolution? Thanks in advance.
Check all of your connections. Look at the antenna itself, maybe a branch fell off of a tree and struck the antenna and broke it. All else fails connect another antenna the problem may be in the tv itself.
