Positive - from comp. eng. student.......2004-01-09

I don't know why these things don't exist in the market very much. Ethernet is all over the market, but you would need cabling for that. I connected my Windows XP computer to my father's (also XP) in the other room, and it's working very well, and couldn't be cheaper. You don't even need their software, XP recognizes the device and you can set up a small office or home network with XP - very easily. Arrived fast too. Really fast. Maybe because I'm in CA, and they ship from CA too.

Cheap, simple, convenient.......2003-12-21

Highly recommended! An easy way to have a network installed in your home or office within minutes. Never had any problems connecting my 2 laptops running Win98 and WinXP. Internet sharing, worked same well. Consider savings over wireless equipment that would give you the same data transfer rate, but for 10-15 times more money. It is not worth it to pay that much just for the convenience of walking aroung the apartment with your laptop (What if you have only desktops?). I believe anybody still prefers working at the desk, and not on a porch, toilet or in a bath. Use wires you already have at home - your phone line. This device is simple and thus brake- and error-safe.

It, quite simply, rocks.......2003-08-29

After recently moving into a new house, I soon found there was no feasible way to get a wired ethernet setup going, what with architectural constraints.
I just wanted to share cable internet access among our 3 computers, without going wireless; the low throughput and limited range of an affordable wireless solution (802.11b) doesn't appeal to me.
After a bit of research, I picked up a Linksys HPRO200 router and ordered this litte gem.
It took one week to receive the PA-101, and within 5 minutes, my network was up; and I didn't have to configure an access point, WEP encryption, or any of the hassles of wireless. No need to route any ethernet cable between floors either.
It's too bad this technology is being rendered obsolete; sort of reminds me of the way Beta VCRs were supplanted by VHS. The inferior product was marketed more aggressively...
On the bright side, HPNA 2.0 adapters can be found for as litte as $5 now.
And yes, the PA-101 works just fine with windows ME, and 2000, and 98. I've tested all of them, and recommend this for anyone.

Good way to set up a fast, efficient, simple network at home.......2003-05-28

No problems setting up this system which transfers data between rooms via the phone jacks . I have broadband internet access which works plenty fast on the networked computers in the house.
I'm under the impression that this system is being phased out as it's not being offered any more at the large stores in my area (Best Buy, Frys, etc.) I'm attributing this to the wireless push being made by Netgear and others.

Good product overall.......2003-03-22

It works as advertized, and good for laptop use since phoneline PC card choices are limited and so-so. It would be good for desktop use if you do not want, or know how, to install a PCI card. However, for desktop use I would recommend the PA-301 PCI card. It is a great way to network home computers and share a high speed (broadband) internet connection without running wires through your house. The 10Mbs is very adequate, and comparable to wired ethernet, considering that (broad)bandwidth usually gets you 2-5Mbs. To some extent, the 10X phoneline networking through your existing phone wiring is more dependable than 802.11b wireless. However for laptop use, the whole idea of being mobile is to be free of wires. I bought it initially for laptop use, but decided in the end to go wireless. I use wired 10/100 for my main desktop, phoneline connection (PA-301) to network each of my kid's desktop, and wireless for my wife's laptop as well as mine. However, the PA-101 really works and does not interfere with regular phone use. You CAN actually surf the web (high speed connection) and talk on the phone at the same time....

It does work. By connecting an adapter to each computer in your home and using your computer's network setup wizard, you are able to share your dial-up connection. I am operating on Windows XP, and so far it has worked well. The connection speed is a bit slower but overall it's pretty nice. The only problem I've had with it is you aren't able to connect to the internet and still use your home phone as stated by the product.

Horrible.......2006-02-17

I purchased this card with the adapter. The card worked fine in my cell phone, but when I used plugged it into the adapter, my computer wouldn't read it. I know it wasn't my computer because other cards work fine. I contacted the company and one rep gave me the run around (via email). So I called them and the man was kind enough to send me a new adapter free of charge. That one didn't work either!! Waste of money!

WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.......2007-05-05

I purchased this camera and was very disappointed. The camera did not work verywell and the support was nowhere to be found. The video was blurry and the knobs were difficult to use. I returned the camera and have yet to recieve a refund from them. I am in the process of filing a complaint with better business burea. My credit card company is also working to get the refund. Don't waste your time or money on this junk.

Not worth the money.......2007-03-05

If you read carefully you will notice the sensor is only 3.1 megapixel but the camera is 6.6 - how does that happen? The image is interpolated and the quality is pretty bad. I was sold one as a high-def camcorder with 10x zoom however the picture quality is most definitely not high-def and there is 0 optical zoom. Using digital zoom degrades the picture quality even more.

Videos or photos are not captured well with medium and low light conditions. In bright light the image on the LCD viewfinder is impossible to see. Another issue with video is unless you move the camera very slowly, the image will video image will 'split' during the movement.

Transferring video to a Mac requires painful jumps through hoops since the video is cannot be directly imported using iMovie.

The mp3 player provides very limited navigation and browsing features - rendering it mostly useless, unless you don't care about what you listen to in your entire playlist.

The only appeal of this product is it's form factor (very small and sleek looking), however what would you do with a small form-factor product that you wouldn't want to use? Definitely not recommended.

So much for your money!.......2005-01-22

Product Description

The 35-watt-per-channel Spirit amplifier supplies breathtaking sound without the bulk, cost and heat of a traditional amplifier. This compact integrated amplifier is based on the hugely successful Rosette 1. Build quality is identical to its more expensive sibling, and finish and detailing is of a quality normally only associated with expensive cameras.Based upon the outstanding Red Rose Music Rosebud speaker, the Spirit LS1 uses lower cost components and a simplified cabinet. Overall dimensions are identical to the original Rosebud. Standard finishes are a luxury Rosewood veneer and French Sycamore.This impressive system reproduces the full detail of programs from SACDs (Super Audio CDs), LPs and traditional sources such as FM tuners and compact discs (requires an external phono preamp to play LPs or other analog discs).Easy to set up and operate, the Spirit amp has just three controls: on/off, input selector and volume. The system includes 30 feet of speaker cable, and optional speaker stands are also available. The amplifier measures 4 1/2" x 11" x 8 1/4" and weighs 13 lbs. Each speaker measures approximately 12" x 7" x 12" and weighs 9 lbs.

Too good not to audition.......2003-01-23

Just got back from C.E.S. 2003. Spent a couple of days days at the High End Audio Show. Listened to dozens upon dozens of stratopherically priced systems, then heard this little integrated amp with the Spirit speakers. Wow! This little system produced more emotion, with greater clarity, than almost anything else I heard. It is extremely important that you suspend all your preconceived notions about price = performance.
In the right room, a fairly small one, this system will provide uncolored, superb sound. Needless to say I have ordered the amp and the speakers, in French sycamore, no less....can't wait.

Review the product, not the celeb.......2002-08-21

Seems like Mark Levinson's storied past as a high priest of high end sparks some green-eyed problems for customers who haven't heard the more modestly priced Red Rose boxes, but enjoy leaping to conclusions. No, these four-figure units won't blow away the branded Levinson systems that fetch four and five times as much from no-holds-barred audiophiles with big stock portfolios, but the price-performance ratio is terrific. The Spirit amp matches the specs and sound of their original Rosette amp, but carries a slightly redesigned front panel, and foregoes some tweaks (like a remote) that are being made to the Rosette. At this price, the trade-off is still in the listener's favor. I auditioned a number of familiar CDs (no, NOT the SACDs that Levinson himself would prefer we embrace) on the Spirit system, and both amp and speakers sounded stunning, tackling everything from deep-dish chamber jazz to the Berlin Philharmonic to pipe organ with aplomb, and meeting or beating anything I've heard anywhere near this price.

To the skeptics weighing in against the designs because of Levinson's involvement (ironic, in light of his rep among high end merchants and consumers), a little research (ever heard of Google?) offers food for thought. The underlying design work reflects the innovations of a Swedish speaker designer, Bo Bengtssen, and an American electronics engineer, Victor Tiscareno; Levinson's primary contribution, beyond his name and investment, was pairing Bengtssen's ribbon-tweeter speaker strategy with Tiscareno's purist approach to amplifier design, and encouraging these collaborators to shoot for great sound at modest prices. (Red Rose can and does offer more exalted performance at substantially higher price points, via the higher end units they sell at their own boutique in NYC.)

You don't get this level of sound at these prices without sacrifices, but those I could detect were essentially issues of scale and convenience. The Spirit speakers won't fill a ballroom or a two-storey living room in a McMansion, and the ribbons are highly directional, but sampled in the sort of modest living rooms that real world occupants inhabit, on-axis, they reproduce music beautifully. The amp's minimalist input scheme won't support a wide number of sources, and vinyl loyalists will probably need to spend as much on a separate phono pre-amp as they did on the amp if they want to use a turntable; in other words, the Spirit resembles most of the high-end separates that pointy-headed alpha audiophiles applaud and willingly underwrite with even bigger checks. You got a problem with that?

Great Shipping.......2007-09-26

I got these for family and haven't seen them work yet because I was going to give them the digital frames for Christmas. The shipping was estimated to get here on October 5th but got here September 21st!!!

More than what I was looking for!.......2007-09-01

I bought these recently, after my three year old Panasonic died. We use Vonage, and I answer customer service calls from my home, so I needed multiple handsets with good sound quality. We got so much more! We love having one on each of our floors. The base is in the basement, the third handset in the bedroom on the top floor, and there are no dead spots or sound fading, like we had with the old one. I love that the phones are intercoms--works wonderfully with my kids in the basement instead of them yelling up the stairs. I can also listen in on what they are doing, two floors up, so I know they aren't getting into trouble. The handsets are small, but fit nicely into my hand and aren't a problem. I use my headset with them for work and have had no trouble. The batteries came partly charged and charged easily, and seem to hold a charge pretty well. I also love the unique ring feature--now I know without checking caller id if its an important call (meaning a family member) or one I can get to later. Really a great phone set for the price!

Reliable.......2007-08-16

We switched to VOIP almost a year ago, and, as per the reviews we could find, this seemed like the most reliable phone system. We've had no problems so far, and the price, though not the lowest, is very reasonable.

One caveat--if there's a way to access the answering machine from any location, we haven't figured it out yet. And if not, that can be one of the next things Uniden works on.

Garbage, cheap, plastic garbage. Replaced 3 times!!!.......2007-07-15

This is the worst set of phones I ever owned. I had to ship three phones back to the warranty repair (at my cost). The phones will soon be out of warranty. I suppose that is why they give you a set of 4 phones. By the end of the year, you might have one left working. So, if you are interested in having 4 working phones, you better buy 12 of them!!

I bought this set for two friends over the holidays and they love them! I've used theirs many times and was impressed so I bought a set for myself. I have recommended it to many other friends since then. The amount of features in this set go on and on. Besides being a cordless phone it can also be used as a Room/Baby monitor as well as two-way radios away from home. You can also use the handsets as an intercom system in your home or to transfer the phone call between handsets. Most options are programable from any handset and you can listen/clear your messages from any handset. You can also copy your phonebook between handsets. And a handy little feature when you want to be left alone... one touch "Do Not Disturb" that will prevent any handset from ringing with an incoming call. This is just a few of the things that impressed me. The only thing that I noticed that may be a problem is that sometimes the caller sounds a little muffled. I'm not sure if that is a problem with this phone system or not tho.
