Customer Review: cheap cables works
unlike analog cables, digital cable does not matter much of the quality of the signal as long as the 1 and 0 signals gets through. A cheap cable is just as good a $100 dollar cable that bestbuy try to rip you off. I use these on my 2 HD TVs and PS3 and they all work great. works on dell laptops too.

Customer Review: Great Television
This tv is wonderful. It is clear and has great sound and is the perfect size for my room. This is the second sony I have bought recently and will buy this kind again.
Customer Review: Another Milestone for TV Design
Many things impress me about this set. The picture quality is incredible once you get it tweaked the way you like it. As good or better as any TV I've ever seen, including the 42" plasma Panasonic we got a while back. The blacks are amazing for an LCD and colors are true no matter what color temperature you choose. The reception was startling. I got only a few channels off the air before. None of them were ever clear. With this set and an old pair of rabbit ears I got about twenty channels and they all looked better than DVD's. I had no idea digital TV was going to improve things this much. At first I only set up the analog channels and they were fuzzy just like before. Then I realized there was another step to the auto programming and did it again. This time the ATSC channels were picked up and like I said, I was stunned. I'm in a rural area so I never expected it to be this good. As people said before, the sound is quite good. Also better than any small TV I've had before and plenty good enough I don't feel a need to add speakers. Lots of inputs including HDMI, well placed controls and a well placed headphone output. The menu is easy to use and the remote is wonderful, uncluttered and has every function you could need. I found I could get everything on my cable system without the need for their box (except on-demand and pay per view). They (comcast) use some funky locations though. The set picked up the same channels on several different bands. I don't know why they do this but it makes it hard to remember where stuff is. I took the time to write down the numbers for every channel as a reference, using the first band they appeared on. I pretty much only watch news and weather so the favorites menu is a godsend, though I wish it had more than eight presets. By far the one aspect of this set that impresses me the most is the styling. Sony has always been an innovator in both picture technology and TV set design. Their XBR series was a milestone when it was introduced. At that year's CES show the Toshiba Rep told me it would take the rest of the industry years to catch up to Sony (again). One of the cool things about the XBR is it didn't look like every other TV being sold at the time. It even came in a rose color (I think they called it Mauve). This 19" LCD is another example of the brilliance of Sony design. If you look at the TV's sold here at Amazon, they all have a pedestal base and a wide aspect ratio with a black frame around the display. They all look the same, and in fact, they all look exactly like all the computer monitors being sold today as well. This set is beautiful and doubly so because of its uniqueness. The 16x10 ratio (as another review pointed out) is a perfect choice, making 4:3 full screen look a lot less distorted. The 16x9 HD images have only a slight bar above and below the picture (thanks to the incredible black this set produces it's almost unnoticeable). The square look with the radius corners is very classy and very appealing aesthetically. The opening along the bottom gives the impression the TV is floating. The set's cabinet is heavy and very high quality. I got the black one and was surprised to see the cabinet is white. It's a beautiful combination with a slight white line around the black front, like a graphic design. The TV is very stable with the bracket in the back. It will stand up straight in a vertical position and feels plenty solid. The bit about a strap to secure it probably comes from the fact that Sony's US headquarters is located in Brisbane, only about 60 miles from the epicenter of the Lomo Prieta Earthquake in 1989. I was an electronics retailer at the time (much closer to the epicenter) and we lost everything in the store. A 100 lb. 32" Sony flew about ten feet and smashed itself on a counter. I think everyone in three counties lost their TV. After that quake everyone was advised to strap their TV's, bookcases and the doors to cabinets securely. Sony btw was the best of all our vendors in helping us recover. They are a class act in every way, and the innovative styling of TV's like this one deserves a place in the Museum of Industrial Design. I love it. Highly recommended.

The NETGEAR WGXB102 Powerline Wireless Range Extender offers:
  • Everything you need to create an 802.11g wireless network using power outlets
  • Backwards compatibility with 802.11b networks
  • Enhanced security with WPA and 64/128-bit WEP encryption
The NETGEAR WGXB102 Powerline Wireless Range Extender includes everything you need to provide wireless access to an existing network using only power outlets. You can now extend an internet connection to even the farthest reaches of your home without a tangled mess of cables.

Elegant Design and Simple to Install
The WGXB102 is a kit that comes with two devices, the Wireless Range Extender (WGX102) and the Powerline Network Bridge (XE102).

The WGX102 is a small silver-colored box with rounded edges that has no wires or ports of any sort. Installation is truly plug and play: simply plug the device into the outlet and you have a wireless network originating from that spot.

The XE102 is a similarly shaped box that connects from an existing wired or wireless router to the power line. It then sends a network connection between connected NETGEAR Powerline devices. In addition to the included WGX102, other compatible devices include NETGEAR's XE104, XE103, XEPS103, and XE102, all sold separately.

Fast and Secure
The WGX102 complies with both the Homeplug 1.0 and 802.11g wireless standards for compatibility with a wide range of devices. Since 802.11g is backwards compatible with 802.11b, you don't have to worry about your older devices that might not yet support the newer standard. The WGX102 supports 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption as well as WPA so you can be sure your data is safe from prying eyes. Additionally, it has VPN (IP-Sec and PPTP) passthrough, as well as the option to turn Wireless SSID broadcast on and off.

The NETGEAR WGXB102 Powerline Wireless Range Extender is backed by a 2-year warranty.

What's in the Box
WGX102 wireless range extender, XE102 Powerline network bridge, ethernet cable, two setup CDs, installation guide, and warranty/support information card.

Customer Review: good as a wifi extender but max speed is 14 mps
I purchased the product to extended the range of my wifi especially when doors are closed. As a range extender it worked great but the product description says speed is 54 mps, but that is the speed of the wireless unit, the speed is actually 14 mps max due to the router until that is connected to your router. I needed more speed than that so I exchanged for the a/c wired 200 mps units which nets out to 80 mps at the receiving unit.
Customer Review: NETGEAR WGXB102 Powerline Wireless Range Extender
Not a good product. The fourth unit I have purchased, and it is dead, too. They don't last long. Too pricey for the life of the product. Tossed transmitter and receiver and bought Hawkings range extender. Much better.

Customer Review: nice mini server
This thing is pretty much plug and play, for the abundance of different services that this thing can do I thought configuration was a snap. I like this server, it's compact, quiet, simple and fast. I used it for RAID 1 with two SATA 1TB hard drives from WD - so far it has been online for a month. There was initial problem with passwords, that is why I took of one star. I tried to set a more secure admin password by using special symbols, but then I was not able to log in. which gave me a headache for a bit, until I figured it out. Using letters and numbers is ok. Thanks to its web file manager I was able to access my files through the iphone, and there are still features I haven't explored yet. I would recommend this product.
