Is there a way to get my DVR (U-Verse) to connect to my TV wirelessly, say, through something like Apple TV? I've done some heavy-duty rearranging, and having the TV near where the cable actually comes in is less than optimal.
Oh my god. What can it be? We're all doomed! Who's flying this thing!? Oh right, that would be me. Back to work.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I thought U-verse had wireless TV now.

AT&T wants to give me a free Galaxy Tab 7" for buying a new phone last week. (For values of "free" which include $10/month for 2 years, so actually $240.) Worth it? I have no idea how much a Galaxy Tab actually costs, so this might be a terrible deal.
The main reason I'm considering it at all is there's about a 50/50 chance I'm going to be re-orged out of a job at the end of the year, which would mean giving back my iPad. So getting a free-ish tablet now...might be a good plan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is the $10/month the cellular fee? Because that's on top of the list price anyway, so it would be a win.
Does anyone know for sure that the full range of KitKat features will be limited forevermore to the Nexus 5?

I'm going to try calling them again. One reason I came to the hivemind is that I was having trouble getting hold of anyone.

Yeah, $10/month is the data plan. But am I reading the online specs right that the Tab 7 only comes in 8GB? In which case it had better have a great data plan, 'cause I won't be able to store anything on it.

It's not the one with micro SD?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Jessica, it doesn't seem much of a deal to me.
Microcenter has refurbs with the card slot for a lot less: [link]
Best Buy has new 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3's with 16GB for $60 more: [link]

Oh, I didn't know there was a 16GB model. Maybe I'll stop by the store tomorrow and look at one, just to see. I do love 7" tablets.
[eta: And I think they all have micro SD slots. That does make a difference.]

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Just bought my husband a Kindle. Now he won't steal mine all the time!
