[Electronics-talk] Another way to Watch TV

[Ray Foret jr]

Oh wow!!!  Now, I wonder, will it render the 5.1 channel sound of HD 
stations which broadcast in that format?  This is truly a break through, if, 
indeed, it does as the review suggests.  I like the fact it's available on 
www.tigerdirect.com
since they accept
www.billmelater.  Now, here's a thought.  Let's all grab up as many as we 
can.  Then, we need to be sure to thank the company who makes this for 
coming out with the product; that way, they'll know that they have a loyal 
following and thus a reason to keep supporting the product.

Sorry if I sound too much like a commercial; but, hey, at first glance, this 
thing really seems like it proves that the cable companies and satellite 
companies are as wrong as can be when they claim that such as this cannot be 
done!!!!!!!

Sincerely,
The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray
