Vizio HDTV with Internet apps

Well today was the day we finally went shopping for a new TV for our den, even though we do not have a FIOS HD box yet for the Superbowl game. We'll probably bring our old box in for an exchange at a nearby FIOS store tomorrow rather than wait for a UPS delivery. Luckily, we are getting a great picture with just standard definition. XBOX360 plays well on it as does my cheap dvd player.

Our old tv developed a weird line a couple of inches across the top and was getting worse, not better. At first, I was going to get the Vizio without internet apps but it was just $50 more for the internet apps and DS was thrilled with the apps, especially some PBS offerings and a load of Anime. Down the road, I may try Netflix or Amazon Instant Watch again too.

Hardest part was trying to get the FIOS signal to work till we realized we had to let the TV scan the channels. This was in the online version of the manual but not the express setup manual that came with the TV. Luckily, DS figured it out before we returned the thing!


Earlier this morning, I did some of the Peak Fit Challenge Anywhere workout, Kacy's *I Do* chapter and the rest of the free Nia Class I had downloaded with RealPlayer.
