I recently had to get myself a stand-in player to use over the network with my Netgear Entertainer EVA8000 being hit by lightning.  I got hold of this MviX 760HD second-hand as I am finding it difficult to get stock of the new Netgear Entertainers in South Africa.  Overall my first impressions are somewhat positive.  There are a good few codecs that are not supported.  Quality of audio and video are acceptable and performance are faultless in the instances where everything is supported.  I am looking forward to getting my hands on the new Entertainer Elite 9150 though.

This was quite a game today with the Sharks facing the Waratahs in Sydney.  Once again Phil Kearns showed that he lost all objectivity when it comes to rugby.  I like it when the Waratahs does anything it is "good tactical play", no matter how daft it is.  A diamond from Phil is when Andy Goode went for a dropgoal it was called "rubbish" which weren't really the case with the Waratahs dropgoal attempt.  However, Phil gave us a look into the lives of the Aussies when he proclaimed as follows: "wow, he popped one in the backdoor"  You don't need to be a psychologist to know what he means.  It is sad when a once decent rugby player has lost everything like old Phil here.

Paul Marks were also there to ensure that the home team can take away a victory with his constant biased refereeing.  The cherry on the cake is when he ignored one of the fundamental rules in the rugby law book by not awarding a penalty try against Kurtley Beale.
