Beware of XM portables, with history of being long on promises and short on delivery. I got burned by their first portable which I ended up throwing in the trash after spending over $300! Not to mention the ultra-poor sound quality of XM on any receiver and the tons of commercials for the same stuff you get in your spam emails. Let the buyer beware!

My DSL averages 1.4mbps, I always get 2 stars, except for a few high traffic time periods. I would be willing to wait longer to start playing, to buffer more of the program, for an improved picture option.


Can't watch foreign movies because there is no caption option.

the remote is clunky and large (I guess Apple spoiled me there)

I dont care about 5.1 sound

would like to see more History Channel and PBS content.

And it would be nice to be able to get content from other providers, aside from Netflix, this would turn it into cable-tv via internet.

We need BPL about as much as we need to be able to buy electricity or city-water from the cable-tv company, or like we need to buy natural gas over the phone lines.

Ozone does not protect us from the sun's UV light. Mostly oxygen does. Ozone is the byproduct of that action. Anyone who says that ozone protects us from UV light hasn't a clue what ozone is or how it is formed.

Before you buy one, better consider the specs. It's essentially the same as the Mac Mini. And with that computer you see the beach ball a helluva lot. I have one in front of me now. This is not a suitable computer for running Win XP or any serious processor use applications. The Air may only be suitable for work processing and internet. If you buy this new laptop be prepared to sit and watch the beach ball spin often!
