- Power goes out more often.
- Hard Wired phone impossible to even get.
- Our heat went out the other day when it was -7 but had to depend on someone driving 20 miles to troubleshoot and get it back on. If we could just get wireless heat--well, that's wireless power.
A recent TESLA documentary on the Discovery and Science Channels tells us we'd have wireless power by now if someone hadn't decided it was too "dangerous" and probably killed Tesla to keep it from reaching the light of day. His incredible genius has yet to be equalled...I am researching his life as I found an Uncle who may have had something to do with his New York lab papers mysteriously disappearing....after he died.
HOWEVER, update on Ooma:
1. After a month of use, we decided to port over our number and get on with it. Quality of voice is great.
- Online utilities--such as forwarding a call to cell phone when we're gone,
- Blocking options for unwanted spam calls,
- Able to have it available all over the house through our phone wiring system.
- Good wireless interaction with our router so we don't need to run a long ethernet cable from our router
- Porting our old number seems relatively painless--hopefully by tomorrow
- Having call logs available at the click of a link
- Premier service includes calls to Canada and Mexico and International can be added when needed.
- More stuff I haven't had time to try out yet
- DirecTV now has a one month trial for Roku, so trying that. Provides all the channels we need instantly but just on our Roku, not our Samsung tv
- Price about $60/month
- No DVR....yet--they are working on it
- No locals--but our over the air antenna does that, but again no DVR
- Some national networks
- no 4K, but then neither does DISH--unless we upgrade to 4K Roku
