Thinking of buying the Wii U

I have always been a fan of Nintendo, even before I got my first Nintendo (Super Nintendo) in 1993. I have always liked the Mario games (Super Mario World is one of my favorites along with Super Mario Kart). I may pick one up at Best Buy as I got a Best Buy gift card for Christmas and some money from Grandma as well. I want to buy the game Super Mario Bros U.

Amazon Prime gets new video sources Netflix couldn't

»www.theverge.com/2013/1/4/383518···tv-shows

Amazon's Prime Instant Video streaming service is continuing to fill out its selection with today's announcement that subscribers will be able to watch episodes from prior seasons of many A&E, History, Lifetime, and Bio shows.

The content licensing deal comes only a few months after Netflix's negotiations with A&E fell through, meaning the Amazon Prime Instant Video, for now, is the only place you can get many of these shows as part of a streaming subscription.

Amazon's $79-per-year Netflix competitor now claims to have 33,000 TV shows and movies available for Prime subscribers to watch for free.

Between Amazon Prime and Netflix I get a ton of streaming shows online.

RCA has a tablet that receives OTA TV

RCA has released an Android tablet with 2 TV tuners. One for picking up OTA TV stations(it has a telescoping antenna) and one tuner for Dyle TV.

»www.theverge.com/2013/1/4/383532···o-tuners

Priced at $299 and set for release in the spring, the Android-powered Mobile TV Tablet features an 8-inch display with a 1024 x 768 resolution, a Cortex A5 1GHz processor, and 1GB of RAM, as well as an over-the-air tuner and a Dyle TV-compatible mobile TV tuner. Dyle TV allows users to view live television content from major stations over-the-air.

Viewers will also have access to on-screen program information and closed captioning, but unfortunately the device doesn't have DVR capabilities, despite its 8GB of on-board storage. RCA claims that the tablet's battery can last up to 10 hours when web browsing, but only four hours in mobile TV mode.

the biggest advantage with the Mobile TV Tablet is that, since all broadcasts are transmitted over-the-air, data coverage and usage are of no concern.

Additionally, while the standard tuner and its telesopic antenna may have access to more stations, it can only be utilized when the device is stationary, so viewers travelling in a vehicle are stuck with Dyle TV's offerings. Still, if live television broadcasts are important to you, there aren't many other options besides RCA's upcoming tablet.

Want to watch a football game at the park on Sunday on a Network TV station, then this is your baby.

Meh! I'd rather watch the games I want, not the game my stupid local affiliates want me to watch. The DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket app is a better than this. Although the TV tuner could come in handy for Fox Saturday Baseball.

if one has DirecTv and Sunday Ticket. Most don't. Also most people are happy with watching the home team.

The question is does the tablet have an option to use another antenna besides the one that is on it because for many areas that is useless.

Living in an area that doesn’t have a professional football team (Buffalo, NY), I’ll take anything. On a typical Sunday our NFL options in Western NY include our hometown Div III NCAA team that masquerades as an NFL team, and the New York Giants who I despise.

As a fan of football in general, not of any specific team (I can no longer support the Bills until they make some serious big time changes), NFL Sunday Ticket is the best thing since sliced bread.

Re: Thinking of buying the Wii U

IMHO Get the Wii U Deluxe it's 50 Bucks more, you get the Mario game and you get 32GB of memory versus the vanilla Wii U of no game and 8 GB of memory. I think the game by itself is 50 or 60 bucks.

Gbit, 16Gbit SATA Express systems coming this year

The Serial ATA International Organization (SATA-IO) Thursday announced that the ratification process has started for SATA Express, which standardizes PCI Express (PCIe) as an interface for client storage.
The specification is now under review by SATA-IO members. It's expected to be available for review by the general public later this year.
The SATA Express specification will enable development of new devices that can utilize the PCIe interface and maintain compatibility with existing SATA applications. The technology, SATA-IO claims, will provide a cost-effective means to increase device interface speeds to 8Gb/s and 16Gb/s.

Re: RCA has a tablet that receives OTA TV

I'll stick with my iPad and iPad mini.

RCA electronics are absolutely junk. We got our first color TV in 1992 and it lasted a year. It had to go for repairs so they could not fix it so they authorized a warranty replacement. The second one lasted another 2 years and it needed repairs along the way. So 2 RCA TVs lasted at total of three years before the last one ended up on the curb on trash day. We bought a Samsung 20" color TV and that lasted from 1995 to 2001. The Sony color TV that I bought in 2001 to replace the Samsung still works today. It is in my basement and used for watching the weather channel during tornado warnings. I also use it for Music Choice when doing work in the basement.

I'm not sure how an RCA tablet would look with my M4 roof mounted antenna attached to it though...

Re: Amazon Prime gets new video sources Netflix couldn't

I am still waiting for the popular content producers to figure out they don't need Netflix or Amazon Prime... they can do it themselves. Sure it is easier to sign up with one service that offers a selection but we can already see the online 'carriage disputes' and it is only going to get worse. Sell streaming to the public directly and cut the BS.
