I have two sony Series 1 Tivos. If I install the TurboNet Network cards, can I then subscribe to Tivo's HomeMedia Option? (i.e. will it work?) Thanks!

I had a problem with the $20 CD-R rebate on this deal. The rebate was rejected due to the seven day time limit after purchase on sending in the rebate form. Here's my details: Order placed on March 9, CD-Rs backordered and package not received until March 17, I completed rebate form and...

Also, shipping is pretty high - $9 for UPS Ground for just one of the drives... Otherwise, pretty attractive...

I'm a registered INDEPENDENT - I voted both R and D and Libertarian in the last election. I heard a quote the other day from Churchill after WWII had finished. It went something like this: Q: WWI was called "The War to End All Wars", what should we call World War 2? A (Churchill): The war that...

Do you have a direct link to that story? Closest I could find

Okay, since it was mentioned... I totally agree. PA Alcohol laws are a pain in the butt and are stupid (prohibition era rules that are supported by an entrenched system that lobbies against any change). Forget about convenience. Beer has to be bought at "beer distributors" and wine and other...

It was 9.97 this evening (Tuesday) at the Walmart in Audobon, PA. Each time it scanned at 14.97, but the system made a "bong" sound to alert the cashier to take off $5 due to a special sale. The lady said the price was up again tomorrow (Wednesday). No need for a Toysrus ad (though I had it...

This is simply a great deal. I bought three pairs about a week ago, and I just added many more (9) in a second order the other night (I'm willing to stock up at these prices) Both shipments came within 48 hours of my order, and everything was just as advertised - Campmor is definitely...

Even though the item was listed as "In Stock" when I placed my order, the follow-up email I received a few minutes later said that the item was backordered. Hmmm... I've waited this long, I guess I can wait a little while longer...

I now get a message: "I'm sorry - this promotion is over. Please click here to submit your email for a chance to win a $100 Shopping Spree... once you enter, we will make sure to notify you of future promotions. Thanks! " Is this deal now dead? Regards, TwF

BTW - Just to muddy up the issue: I ordered 3 of the Western Digital 5400 drives from outpost.com a few weeks ago (special $109 deal). They were bare drives, but the sticker on the mylar bag says "3 year warranty". (the website also said they come with a 3 year warranty). So, it seems that...

I just called Amazon wireless, and they suggested sending an email to wireless-orders@amazon.com for clarification about the activation deadline. I received the form email back within minutes that said: "Rest assured, if you have placed an order for a qualifying phone with a service plan on or...

I just received the same email. I ordered 3 on Sunday morning when it was listed as "in stock and will ship within 1-2 days". They now say they have no definite shipping date. Hmmm....

I just picked up 3. (shh! Don't tell my wife!) Thanks for the heads-up about this!

I also had a problem with IO Magic Rebates for some stuff I bought early in 2001. (total of $60 on two rebates). I called them in October to say that I never received the rebates. They said "sorry, but the computers crashed in May and they lost records of the rebates - send in the...
