[Electronics-talk] Cable/settop boxes

[Brett Boyer]

es! And thanks to barefooted Ray. The way to turn sap on and off with at&t 
u-verse remote. Not to mention that there i-phone app is 70 perdent 
accessible. Enough to view and record shows. It's not perfect butt maybe 
with a letter to the developers it could be.
Anyway just throwing this one out there.
