[ale] [OT] TVs

[Greg Clifton]

I got a Vizio SV472XVT for the wife for Christmas, no really! And my son
sprung for a Hulu plus account. It has worked well with that running
wireless. FWIW, I noticed at Sam's Club the other day a dual band router by
Vizio for like $59 that is supposed to work esp. well with their TVs, but I
forget what bells and whistles it supposedly offered for that mode.
