After I got U-Verse installed the day after Christmas my fiance and I started to notice that shows would freeze for up to 10 minutes, that the picture would become distorted and blocky with pixels, and that the HD stations would have a hard time keeping up with the picture (we’d get colors from past frames in the new frame making things look like an acid trip).When the install tech left he gave me his card and told me to call him if I had any problems so I gave him a ring. After answering the basic questions he asked me to go to the U-Verse router’s information page. After reading out some of the numbers that were on the screen it was decided that the phone line going into my apartment was bad. Here’s a screen shot of that screen.

Ah CES, the Las Vegas convention where techies, audiophiles, videophiles, gamers, and computer nerds like myself drool over the new toys that will be coming out over the next year. Today I was playing around on the internet and came across a company called OWLink that has a device that is on display at the show.

Do you hate having your home theater equipment in the same room as your TV or do you not have any room for your AV equipment where your TV is? Well the Digital Light Link is going to help you out with that.

Last week my fiance and I got a new addition to the household. No, it’s not a baby - it’s better. We got hooked up for AT&T’s U-Verse. For those of you that haven’t heard of it yet U-Verse is a new video service from AT&T that is like cable or satellite, only better.
