Jason Burge Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Last year I wanted to go from 32 to 64 channels but somehow I ended up with 96. There is no telling what I'll end up spending this year. I also do not have a video camera either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCR is just too bright and the colors wash out. I like the job the Flip did with my display - all except for the CCRs. The best time of day to capture the CCR colors is actually before dark.

Ron Amedee Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Thanks George..Just can't decide where to put the money for first year..Going TOOO BIG..but what the hey...GOO BIGGG or GOOO HOME !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Simmons Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I hear you with having to prioritize... but IMHO your first priority should be an FM transmitter. If people can't hear the music the lights make no sense. But having said that, the Flip with HD is freakin' awesome for $129. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that sensor is basically SHADED too that feeds the thermometer, so if it were in direct sun, probably would have read 100!I'm all ready for the fall/winter season to come back and it's not that far into the HOTTEST part of Florida yet.:shock:I much prefer a nice temp that is steady from 62-68 degrees, now if I could find a place that stayed that temp all year round, I'd have found my perfect place to move and live!
