I'm from the generation that used multiplication tables and watched B&W TV. Now I've progressed to this new Edge M21 with a TV and entertainment center, and I've got questions--
1. The TV power boost can be turned on/off by the red button behind the TV. It doesn't seem to do a lot but it does bring in a few TV stations in pretty poorly in the "air" mode. If I shut it off and set the TV for "cable" mode, I get cable channels (after I connected the wall mount cable connection to the TV with a cable). Am I doing something wrong with the power boost and does the power boost have any effect on the radio or computer reception?
2. I'm about to take a real plunge and buy a laptop to take along in the camper with us to do my internet banking while on the road. I noticed that there is a USB port on the entertainment console. Is this port used for an internet connection (maybe with the power boost on?) or is the port just used to connect the PC to the TV screen?
3. I'm thinking a basic $279.00 laptop from Best Buy. I use Word, Excell, and Access on my home computer along with internet use, but probably just internet use on the road. Am I heading down the wrong road with the cheapest laptop?
Thanks in advance for helping the old guy through the modern age. Fran
