Good sets run in the 1000s. Just a table umbrella and like 4 chairs. You can get a whole bedroom set for that. I notice home depot sells sets from Hampton Bay that run in the 3 to 400s. I know Hampton Bay makes really crappy fans I don't expect them to make good patio furniture. What should I look for in a patio set.


Answer
I would say it depends on how much YOU want to spend. You need to ask yourself " how long do I want to look at this or keep this furniture"? If your a person who likes change in their life, often...I would not spend much. The ones at Home Depot will do fine. If this furniture is something you want to keep for a long time then the more money you spend will buy you a better longer lasting set of furniture. The cost will be in the metal it's constructed of for durability and in the fabrics for weather proofing and durability. Once you start shopping around and talk to sales people you will start to get a good understanding of the product you want to buy. I would shop a range from the self help (Home Depot, Lowe's, etc.) to the better garden shops and even some furniture stores carry garden furniture. Something else you may consider, when you are shopping around and there are other people looking at these sets also, talk to them and ask them for their opinion and if they have tried other brands. To do this is not uncommon. You might also find a web site where you could look for comparability like a buyers guide.

How can I set up TiVo without a landline?

I have tivo box and wireless internet but no landline. What are the steps to setting up my service? I know I need a USB adapter (or something). Please include detailed instructions as I'm not very technical. Thanks!


Answer
TiVo can be connected to the Internet using a phone line, or wired or wireless broadband Internet connection. Anything beyond basic operation (what TiVo calls "broadband-enabled features") is unavailable via phone line. Out of the box, older TiVos ran older software that wasn't broadband-enabled until the Guided Setup step where they connected to TiVo headquarters and updated themselves to the broadband-ready version. This is why old Web sites stated that you needed a landline at first. This is no longer the case. I set up 2 TiVos at a neighbour's house this week, and both were broadband-ready out of the box - no landline needed, ever.

The cheapest way to set up and operate your TiVo is via a wired connection - just run a network (Ethernet) cable from your router to the back of the TiVo.

If you prefer a wireless connection, you can plug a number of USB wireless adapters into your TiVo. However, security is crucial with wireless networks, and TiVo's own adapter is the only one that supports WPA encryption when used with a TiVo. All other brands force you to downgrade your entire wireless network to WEP, which is not secure at all, when used with a TiVo.

In addition, the TiVo-brand adapter has its own processor to offload some network tasks from the TiVo, making transfers 60% faster on average than with other adapters. This is important if you perform demanding operations like downloading movies from Amazon Unboxed, or streaming shows from your living room TiVo to your bedroom TiVo.

Finally, TiVo's 3rd-party compatibility depends on the brand, model *and revision* - it's hard to ensure you're buying the *specific* item that will run on your TiVo.

For all these reasons, the TiVo-brand wireless adapter is the best way to set up and use your TiVo without a landline.
