ajithf:By the way you guys were right about the Aladin. There seems to be a problem with the IR device and they replaced mine without a murmur. I think they should do a general recall.
It happens with lots of computer here in my market. My Aladin Tec died on me a few weeks ago. I got a replacement straight away..........with a Aladin Tec 2G. Have yet to test it. Hope they got the problem solved in their newer models. Fingers crossed.
