There are 4 million users of Tivos- and the interesting thing about it is that you actually need fewer channels when you have a DVR that works. Just use one of the Cable or Satellite "First Party" DVRs for a week. No really. Take the step to reality beyond idle spec comparison. USE a Non Tivo DVR. Or at least try. Then you will understand why so many people are buying a service from a vendor who has no self interest in selling you more channels. -Mak

Accident waiting to happen is right. OK you have a motor capable of swinging the heft of a 50" display.

Great ideas guys.

Sometimes low tech is the best solution. There are a few heavy construction manual swing arms out there, that swing x,y&z (yaw, pitch, in&out). I use one from Chief Manufacturing (chiefmfg.com) which is extremely heavy duty steel but I suppose there may be others by now. The kids can swing on it fully extended- not that I would let them but even if they did it's not going to come off the wall or bend under the torque.
