Netfilx Through My Wii, How I Love You

OMG. I am in love. I had Netflix for a while and really didn’t use it that much. Then for some reason I saw that you can watch movies and TV shows instantly through your Wii and my world changed.

I am in love with The Rockford Files. Now I can watch ANY episode I want whenever I want. Life is good. Jimbo every day even on the weekends.

I love this service that is part of the plan I pay for anyway. As there is mostly crap on TV now it is great to be able to watch the oldies and goodies for free. Free!

Netflix. I love you. And Rockford too.

Nothing Like a Nice, Crisp Picture


Yes, there is nothing like a nice, clear picture. That’s why you need to consider getting an HDTV.

When you really like something, like football for example, and you have HDTV, it’s like you are sitting right there in the stands. The picture is clear and bright.

Now for some places to check the prices. Go to buy.com and be sure to see what they have to offer. Often, they have the best prices around and you need to bookmark this site like I have done.

What the Heck is Bell TV?

Just when you think you have a handle on the latest technologies, they come up with something new. Like bell tv. What is bell tv?

It’s from Canada’s. And they claim their customers can enjoy a superior TV experience that comes standard with Bell TV. Bell TV provides the best HD service including the most HD channels in Canada. It sells at The Source and they say on their website that The Source provides the best offering of Bell TV services. Hmm. Interesting.

TV Stands and More TV Stands

So you get this perfect TV that makes football games seem like their being played in your family room, but something’s just not right. It’s the blasted tv stand. It was fine for that old TV that was smaller and lots wider, but not now. Time for an upgrade? Take a look at what’s new at www.standsandmounts.com. You will find a oodles and oodles of models to select from and for now, there is free shipping.

TVs – At The Source

In the market for a new TV? Well, you can always go to “The Source”. They have lots of  tvs and they offer free shipping to any of their 750 stores if you decide to order for pick up.

They have a nice comparison chart so that you can easily see all of their different models of TVs and other products and the price and description are easy to see. You can also compare them by clicking the little box that says “compare” on the models you are interested in, and then clicking the word compare on the header on the yellow strip on the top of the product listings. I like to be able to see all the details about a product when I am buying online and this site has that. In fact, the comparison feature has just about everything you would want to know and more. Comparison shoppers like me really appreciate that.

At the Source

 Having age-old television sets, being that of a size of no consequence, and the transformation to digital television looming, I was in the market for televisions - two of them to be exact. I am always hearing a commercial “At the Source” I was curious and decided to look at their website. Wow. They have a ton of TVs of all shapes and sizes and an array of mounts and stands too. You can shop online, which I love to do, and if you ship to one of their 750+ stores, there is FREE shipping. On a TV, that is huge and they have some specials too which you should check if you are in the market for a new TV. So go shop by phone or online, ship to your nearest store (there is a store finder on their website) and save some cash on your TV.

Take a Stand, A TV Stand

 We all love the big HDTV models but I personally don’t like the idea of mounting on my wall. What if you decide to move your furniture around and then you have this big monstrous thing where you attached your tv left on the wall? I am not into permanently marking up the wall that is why we have used tv stands in our home.

There is a company that not only has a great selection of tv lift stands, but offers free shipping and delivery in 14 days. Yes, at importadvantage.com of Boca Raton, Florida, that is the deal. This company has been in business for 25 years and now their specialty is building innovative pop-up TV lift systems with traditional wood craftsmanship and design. They design and manufacture every element that goes into the consoles, including the TV lift systems and the infra red relays so don’t let the name fool you – importadvantage.com. Take a look at the ample selection of different styles on their Web site. I picked this one to show you because it is different (kind of an Oriental look) but they carry more traditional and modern styles as well. They also have a winter sale going on right now if the word “savings” insterests you at all!

That’s a Switch

HDMI Switch If you are in the market for a HDMI Switcher that can route high definition video (in multiple resolutions up to 1080p) and digital audio from any one of the three sources to display unit, then the Firefold 3XI is something you should check out. What I like about this site is the way they have photso for you to be able to see the hook ups you are supposed to be making when you buy a product here. When you are the sole technical genius in your family and kids are depending on you, you need clear directions to see what the end product is supposed to look like. The photo for this product, for example, is very clear and easy to follow - thank God. I need the visuals.

On this HDMI switch (if you follow the nice big photo that shows the connections) there are three inputs to accommodate the simultaneous connection of up to three high definition video sources, such as satellite systems, HD DVD, Blu-Ray Disc, and PS3. Aftet that, it sends the high definition audio/video signals to a high definition display. Pretty cool.
