I agree in principle that it's time to move on, although I'd be a bit pissed if a 200 unit crapped out in three years. Of course, I stole your Sonywang, because I've bought a lot of their stuff. The only things, in 20 years or so of purchasing, that've gone bad (well, Walkman aside) is the first CD player I bought, which lasted 10 years, and a VCR, which lasted 9. A couple things were stolen, but that doesn't count.

And yet I'm right about the lifespan. It's all about the plastics, man.
In other news - for some of you it may be time to get a new satellite provider.
NEW YORK - EchoStar Communications Corp. on Tuesday pulled from service 16 of Viacom's local CBS stations and 10 of its national channels after the companies failed to agree on contract terms and prices. Viacom said in a statement it was "dismayed and disappointed" by the action, which affected channels like MTV and Nickelodeon, after a deadline expired early on Tuesday.
I called a friend in another market who foolishly purchased the Dish after I recommended Direct. She says she still has CBS. Still, what good is satellite if you can't get Letterman?
