The Vizio sets do okay in ratings on picture quality but they aren't the best for longevity. As I have said in the past, I'm a big fan of Samsung for LCD panels.

My upstairs neighbor has a Samsung flatscreen that seems to work well. I'm quite happy with my LG.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So I got access to a couple of files that should be rar archives, but when I run UnRarX on them, it claims they're not. I'm sort of at a loss. I mean, they say they're RAR archives, and yet it's not happening.
RAR archives are typically split out into a bunch of smaller files, it's possible you don't have all the pieces. Are the files as big as you think they should be?

Consuela,
download the trial of BetterZip and see if you can peek in the rar file and download the file inside.
Ginger,
I had no idea installing a wireless router on ATT DSL was such a problem. Do you think you need to try a different kind of router?

We have a wireless router and ATT DSL and don't have trouble. But I didn't install it, so I can't be much help, except to state that it is possible.

I have wireless through AT&T and don't recall any problems with the install or use (except that one time when Pix was here and I couldn't remember the WEP code and ran around like a crazy person looking for it while she laughed and laughed).

I fear I have so dispaired of tech support in general that I put off calling. For future reference, the TP-Link people are wonderful, except that several of the things she had me do are not listed anywhere on its website.

Okay, so apparently I need to join them, which I did via Split & Concat but VLC still won't recognize it, claims it's an undefined format. ::flings up hands:: I have gone back and am re-downloading them, with the thought that maybe the download was incomplete/corrupted.

You don't need to join them. Any un-RARing software will do that automatically.

I got a little Samsung for the bedroom, based on Drew's good experience.
