Changed the oil, greased it, and gave it a good looking over. Also fiddled with the ABS sensors trying to fix a brake issue. How we do love our babies!

Netflix and Amazon work OK for me with a Sony bluray. Even worked ok with my old crappy router. It's all mysterious magic to me (and most everyone for that matter). Plug it in and hope it works as advertised. Otherwise spend hours with "Andy" from India.

After a nine hour round trip in heavy rain towing with the most awesome tow vehicle on the planet, I finally got my new track beast home. Life is good!

I changed my fuel filter and the big weatherstrip around the rear tri doors. Closes tight now, it's awesome.

Did you check for updated firmware for the tv ?
Sounds like it's the tv alright. Did you try bypassing your router as well and hook it up directly (with cat5) to your cable modem (or dsl modem or whatever you have..)
Make sure to reboot the cable modem when you do this and reboot it again when you change it back.

Thanks! I have a soft spot for these old things. Never had a chance to see one of the RauWelt's other than on pics. Those outlaw's are wide!

Put my splash shields back on my truck (left them off last fall by accident after the axle U joint replacement) and I have now joined Eric in the "got a weird ABS" issue camp.
