Title: It WAS too good to be true. Review: When "everyone" (friends, co-workers, consumer reviews) said the Sony Wega SXRD was THE BEST HDTV, I splurged and spent $2600 in January 2007 on a KDS-R50BR1 as a retirement gift for myself. The picture wasn't as sharp as I expected but I blamed it on the antiquated cable wiring in my apartment building. Nine months later the screen went black and the "fun" began - scheduling and waiting for repairmen, sending the set to the repair shop, waiting for part after back-ordered part to be tried in the set. After eight weeks of repeated phone calls to the dealer, repair shop and Sony, Sony finally gave me a replacement - a REFURBISHED set, the same model as the piece of junk that I bought. What a nightmare! Now that I'm learning about all the problems others are having I'm just waiting for it to start all over again. My confidence in Sony is shot. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Overproduced Review: I am a fan of Caravan, especially their first three albums, but this later album, Cunning Stunts, I found overproduced, overorchestrated and totally lacking the charm of such albums as In the Land of Grey & Pink. There seems to be too much Mike Wedgwood here, where he sings on most of the cuts here, such as the ever mushy "Lover". David Sinclair is on this album, but you hardly even notice him at all, it's almost like he didn't care at this point, which is even less surprising since he left after this album to be replaced by Jan Schelhaas. Caravan had made some of the greatest Canterbury prog albums out there, but sorry to say, with Cunning Stunts, the band messed up here. Don't make this your first purchase. Try an earlier release first, like In the Land of Grey & Pink. Is the review positive or negative?

Title: Versatile and reliable once installed Review: I have a multi-platform, WPA2-encrypted network on a Linksys WRT54GL router running the DD-WRT firmware, and this piece of hardware works great once installed properly.Beware that the "wireless repeater" functionality that extends your wireless network was only intended for use with Airport Extreme, but... with a little googling you can find detailed instructions on how to set it up to extend a Linksys 54G network. It's just a bit more complicated than most would wish, but that's the price to pay for not getting the overpriced Airport Extreme base station.If you're not really tech-savvy and just want to pipe your music to remote speakers, it works fine and the setup isn't really that complicated.
