One director had his bank robber actors come running out of the bank carrying the loot and their guns as they piled into the get away car... with all the passers by being real people not extras. |

Many people are creeped out by the commercial, but it does get your attention. But on to the technology. The base unit is called a video bridge and it sends the video signal wirelessly up to 80' away to a client.  The client box has dimensions (Width: 6.75" Height: .75" Depth: 3.5") which is small, but not tiny. You still have to plug the client in for power and into the HDMI port in your TV. Any interest among the forum in this device? |

Not if it still costs $80 for the 8 channel MAWG package which is all I watch. FWIW I already have wireless TV with my Roku box. The President is a fink. |

That's true. I think Roku only works for about 40' from the router instead of 80' for DirectTV Video Bridge. Still, Roku should get their own marionette wife. |

The idea of a puppet for a wife has intrigued me. So many pro's, so few con's.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Personally, I think these 7"-10" tablet TV's are too small. They seem to be designed so that you can put them in a purse and take them outside.  I don't see anything wrong with a 19" mobile tv (under 6 pounds) that was wireless. It could come with a stand that fits on your legs. That wouldn't be so tiny that you can barely see the screen. You would probably require the option to plug it in as battery would have to be pretty big to last more than 2 hours. |

They never talk back, they never want anything, they never complain. Between the wanting and the complaining, what do wives really talk about. That's all they think about, what they want and what's wrong with you. A puppet wife is a Stepford wife. I thought that was a great movie. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
