A great unit for the best satellite service...
By lee280zx
I've owned a Sportster for about 3 months now. I am happy with the unit and its features, and even happier with Sirius programming.This unit is smaller than past portable units and features the latest chipset that offers many new features. You also have the ability to switch the unit between green and amber illumination (you can even mix the two). And an RF modulator is built into the Sportster so that you can easily listen to it on car or other FM radios.The unit offers the ability to select your favorite NFL team and be reminded whenever your team is playing a game--thus the name "Sportster"(all NFL games are broadcast on Sirius). This unit was a great choice even though I don't like listening to sports games.This unit offers 30 presets spread over three "bands." Having this many presets is important when you have a service offering 65 completely commercial-free music channels and over 50 talk, news, sports and entertainment channels.You can also use the 10 preset buttons to directly enter a channel number if you first press the jog/dial button. Navigating channels is further simplified by a "Category" button that allows you to scroll through the different categories of programming (Pop, Rock, Country, News, Talk/Entertainment, etc.).It also features a new "jump" button. With this button you can jump back and forth from whatever channel you are listening to to the traffic and weather channel for your area. Sirius currently offers 10 channels of continually-updated traffic and weather that cover 20 of the largest metropolitan areas. When I press the jump button for San Diego traffic, this unit automatically waits to switch me to the S.D./L.A. traffic channel until it begins San Diego information (the channel switches between San Diego and L.A. information every 4 minutes). If your city is not covered, you can assign another channel (like CNN) to the jump button.If you are listening to your favorite song, or a program you really enjoy (like "Car Talk" on the NPR channels), you can just press the "Memo" button and if your Sportster is on, a beep and on-screen message will tell you whenever your song or program is playing. You can store 20 songs and/or programs this way.There are some technical issues with the Sportster. I've spoken to several tech reps, and it seems some of these problems were due to the early car cradles for this unit (car cradles allow installation of the Sportster in your car and feature a "line out" jack for direct connection with head units offering auxillary inputs). I had to swap mine out a few times to get one that would work.One problem that hasn't been solved seems to be common to all Sirius receivers using the new chipset. Sometimes the unit will play at a slower speed (like a 45 record played at 33 speed) when you turn it on. This is always resolved by turning the unit off and on again, and it happens very infrequently.I chose to buy a 4-year, over-the-counter-swap service agreement with my Sportster, and I highly recommend a service contract to anybody who buys a Sportster (or any other portable satellite receiver).I do experience signal loss while driving around town. I lose the satellite signal (which is line-of-sight) about every sixth time I drive under a bridge or overpass. The addition of more ground repeaters, which amplify the signal on the ground, will solve this problem over time.Sirius is currently only officially available in the continental U.S. due to licensing issues. But I have driven over 1,000 miles south from San Diego to Cabo San Lucas (at the tip of the Baja Peninsuala in Mexico) with excellent reception throughout both trips.A home kit, boombox and additional car kits are available so that you can listen to your Sportster virtually anywhere. Of course, with either you will need an unobstructed location for the antenna. The most difficult part of setting up your Sportster is running the antenna cable to the unit. Though the cable is very small, you do have to find a path for it, and this can be particularly difficult in a car where the antenna must be outside and the radio inside (some people do locate the antenna on the dash, but results seem mixed--external mounting is much preferred). The car antenna included with the Sportster car kit is magnetic (the magnet is very strong).Sirius satellite radio is as valuable as cable TV. Once you have it, you won't want to do without it. And this Sportster unit allows you to take full advantage of the vast programming Sirius offers. I would have given 5 stars if it weren't for the ongoing (infrequent) technical issue. But with the service contract, I know I'll always be able to switch to any redesigned unit.

By Adam Rothleder
A couple of quick hits on the equipment:1) Unit is considerably bigger than the Roady2, but the display is bigger and the buttons are easier to use.2) Jump button is an excellent idea, it switches to traffic right when the report is due to start.3) Home and Car reception has been excellent in the NYC area, with some dropouts in Manhattan. I use the FM transmitter cable, and have had no problems with it, no small feat in NYC.4) Had no problem installing into my 2005 Altima. Slapped the antenna onto the roof, ran the wire through the rear door molding, under the passenger seat to the unit. For the home, put the antenna on my windowsill and reception is fine.5) Three bands of presets. I use seperate bands for music, sports and news.And on the service:1) Much stronger music programming than XM, based on the 3-day internet trials I took on both services. I find myself listening to the Spectrum and Sirius Disorder the most. Plenty of offerings for my wife, and a channel for the kid's music. The Jazz and Classical offerings are solid.2) The news and entertainment offerings are basically the same for Sirius and XM.3) Sirius has a stronger sports package, with the NFL, NCAA, NBA and NHL.4) XM has an additional fee for premium channels, while Sirius does not.5) XM charges for internet streams, Sirius does not. It must be noted that Sirius currently only streams its music channels.

By James Ross
I really have enjoyed this radio.Being a ham operator,i have for many years listened to stations from around the world such as the BBC and Radio Netherlands.But many have stopped shortwave broadcasts to the USA.Now i can listen to all of them here 24 hours a day!!The news content is the main reason i purchased the radio.Cable t.v. costs way too much and i cannot use a satellite dish as my apartment faces the north.$12.00 is so cheap in comparison.I have hooked mine up to a computer sub-woofer stereo system in my bedroom.Sound is incredible with no interference or FM drift .Occasionally though the satellites change their orbit just a bit(even though they are supposed to be geo-stationary)and the signal disappears.So i have positioned the antenna around the room to discern where my options are for reception.If you place the antenna outside facing east or close to that,the signal will be excellent.Since Sirius uses 3 satellites,the odds of not receiving a signal are nil.The radio is very user friendly that an 8 year old can use it with no manual.The music assortment is splendid offering anything one desires.I listen to classical and even though there are only 3 classical channels,it is nice to hear what they choose to play.(although they do play a lot of the warhorses:Beethoven,Mozart,etc.).I have 3000 cd's of classical so this really does not concern me but others will really enjoy the "no commercials" aspect of the music channels.My wife likes the Classic radio programs channel and i look forward to the NHL broadcasts.Sirius offers a better lineup in my opinion(for me)and even though it is a little more expensive per month,three satellites as opposed to one give me a little more confidence in continued service.I drove to Seattle from Portland with the car kit in place and never had a dead spot!!Listened to anything i wanted without having to change the channel when the signal faded as with FM.I have the car kit,home docking kit,and plan on buying the boombox when it is available.Buy this radio and you will enjoy it!!BTW,when the radio gets warm,it is normal.The heat sink inside is distributing the heat well and with the display always on it is a good thing that it does not use batteries as it would eat them fast.

By TRU Kid
So...I dont have $1M for the real thing, and since I love Legos, this is the next best thing! I built the 'Model Team' sets as a kid, which are the sets geared toward realism more than functionality; but Lego doesn't really make the line anymore. However, this would be a Model Team set if there were such a thing. For a Lego set, this Enzo looks as much like the real thing as it can and it holds together really well. I actually bought 2 so I could build both models. This is an excellent addition to the Lego Ferrari collection.

By oskar
This was a christmas present for my 19 year old brother who loves loves loves ferrari. He put it together within hours and still has it setting on a shelf in his room. Not sure I'd recommend it for younger kids who would rather play with the car.
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful.Nice set.
By J. Zimdars
My son received this car for his 8th birthday. He was able to build it competely by himself over a few hours. I think he really enjoyed building it and felt a great sense of accomplishment.The only knock I have on it is that once it's built it makes a better display model than a toy. It just doesn't do that much. He got another lego set of around the same size for his birthday that had a lot more action items, mini figures, etc. and that is the one he plays with every day.

By MaMoo
Wee 3 friends is a much more acceptable doll, in my opinion.The girls are correct in the body proportions, modest in their clothing, and friendliness is encouraged.If you're sick of the way Barbie Dolls have evolved, Wee 3 friends may be for your daughter.

Small figures, easily misplaced
By Arryn Bronson
I have a 2 1/2 year old who LOVES all her little miniature Fairytopia sets, however...the little fairy figures seem to go missing very easy as they are tiny. This I don't have a huge problem with, what I have a problem with is the fact that I can't seem to BUY more tiny fairy figures!!! This would appear to me to be a big flaw in thier marketing of this product, as I am not going to go buy a whole new cottage just to purchase more fairies!!

By A Customer
This toy is very nice. Although it is hard to set up the tea table. I hace 2 other little lands and am working to get elina's house. But this is a very nice toy and can interact with the other little lands. It isn't completley close to the one in the movie cover but close enough. I have tea parties and stuff with them. Oh it i very educational because it teaches how to set things up and teachhes girls how to be ladies I don't mean that in an offensive way . That's how my mom see's it I think the same thing.
Buy Denon DVD 1910 - DVD playerMost helpful customer reviews
54 of 56 people found the following review helpful.The best DVI-capable DVD player for consumers
By Gadgester
Denon makes a lot of professional video equipment that costs tons of money, but this consumer-oriented DVD player, one of the few models on the market today that support DVI all-digital output, is both affordable and high-quality.A quick note: at least two other manufacturers (V! and Sansung) also have DVI-capable DVD players. But according to websites like extremetech, they give poor video output.Chances are, if you are reading this review, you probably already know what DVI is. For those that are new to the topic, DVI (digital video interface) is a true digital-only connection between a video source (e.g., DVD player) and a display. The signal that travels over the DVI cable is pure digital, as opposed to the analog signal over component, S-video and composite video cables. What does this mean? You get noise-free image on a DVI-capable TV set. Most namebrand HDTV sets now come with DVI input, e.g., Sharp, Panasonic, Pioneer, Sony, Hitachi.So, in order to take full advantage of this Denon player's digital output, you need an HDTV with a DVI connector. Once you couple the two together, you'll be amazed at the image quality. Not only is the DVI-driven video noise-free, but the image is also brigher. The Denon also features what's known as "up-scalers". Since current DVD movies are *not* HD -- they are of the standard NTSC (or PAL, if you are in Asia or Europe) resolution -- the upscaler can magically make the DVD video appear HD. I don't know all the technical details of how this is done, but the upshot is, the image quality is improved and you'll be getting every bit of digital quality of your DVD movies.With some good DVD players selling for less than $50 -- e.g., my everyday DVD player is the $45 CyberHome slim-and-small progressive-scan player bought at Radio Shack -- is the Denon worth the extra money? The answer is a resolute yes, if you have a DVI-capable HDTV set. Seriously, if you have an HDTV, you *need* this player. Otehrwise you are not getting the best DVD playback. The Denon is actually a great buy, considering that the other DVI DVD players on the market today don't perform well. The Denon works, and works well. Any videophiles who lack the deep pocket of a professional or dedicated fanatic, should get this. Once you go DVI, you won't go back.

By F. Tavarez
Forget about the Sony ($300) and the Toshiba ($205). And especially forget about the Samsung 841 ($189). I owned the latter and could not be more disappointed with the image. The Denon 1910 ($249) is gives you the best image you will see on your TV. It upscales the movies to 1080i so beautifully that it's as if you were seeing it all over again. I rarely write reviews, but it's worth every cent.Some older TVs with DVI may not be HDCP compliant. Before you buy this product, make sure your TV is compliant because otherwise it will not work at all.Also, make sure you buy a DVI cable because the box will not bring one.

By Thomas J. Beausoleil
I have had several DVD players over the years and most recently a Sony progressive scan player. I have a 50" Samsung DLP and was satisfied with the picture. That was until I saw the 1910. The upscaling through the DVI is unreal. Toy Story 2 looked so clear and bright, well beyond my expectations. It makes good DVD's look great and so-so DVD's look good. It doesn't seem to do much for the extremely poor quality DVD's, but it's a player, not magic. The 1910 makes the Star Wars Trilogy look like true HD. It doesn't have a lot of bells and whistles, but for the price it's the best player I've ever seen.
