We decided to dump our Charter Moxi HD DVR and go back to the familiar, user-friendly world of TiVo (which we grew to know and love by way of our previous DirecTV TiVo DVR.)
We decided to update our home entertainment system for the first time in a while. I can highly recommend Sony LCD HDTVs. We also switched from DirecTV to Charter Cable to get local HD broadcast channels. Being sick in bed for a few days last week, I had plenty of opportunity to check it out. This week we're also setting up a networked digital media receiver and ripping our CD collection.
Full (long) review of everything after the jump...
Do you buy extended warranties for you electronic and appliances? The main thing I want is a 3 year manufacturer's warranty on my computers. I do expect my computers to last that long. Otherwise, I don't buy extended warranties. Consumer Reports has apparently been recommending against extended warranties for a long time. Now, though, they have two exceptions, rear-projection TVs and Apple computers. No problem here, I don't expect to ever purchase either of these.
