If I order now, when will I receive it? Most orders are processed and shipped in 48-hours, although during high volumes, orders my take longer to process. All orders are shipped by ground mail for $35 and typically take 3-5 days for shipping.
Does the Yuclid Digital
Media Console work with digital cable? Not directly.
We know of no PC technology that can decode
the digital cable signal, although the console can
be setup to view digital cable through a set top
box similar to how VCRs are used to view digital
cable today. But even with digital cable, many of the
lower “basic” channels are still delivered in
analog and can be used directly with the console.
Do I have to have Internet-access to use the Yuclid Digital Media Console? No.
The consoles work great without Internet
access, still allowing owners to record TV, watch
DVDs, play DVDs and CDs and much more. Although some of the advanced features, such as the television
guide and on-demand-video would be unavailable.
What do I need to use the Yuclid Digital Media Console? All you have to have is a television with at least one A/V input. You can also attach the console to a receiver.
Not at all.
Although they share many technical
similarities, we consider this a consumer
electronic. It is built, priced and configured to
function as a consumer electronic device.
The Yuclid Digital Media Console is
designed for entertainment, while writing papers,
balancing the checkbook and other work should
remain on the PC.
Although it’s possible, it
isn’t designed for this use. The ergonomics and resolution of the
television make it difficult and cumbersome for
these tasks. We do hope to offer a browser that would be specially designed for use on the console in the future, but heavy Internet browsing is still best done at a desk.
Why doesn't the Yuclid Digital Media Console 100 ship with a remote control? Since the Yuclid Digital Media Console 100 is our entry model, we are working to keep costs down as much as possible. We do offer a remote as an option or a remote can be purchased from a store. There are a number of remotes by various manufactures that are simple to install and configure.
Why doesn't the Yuclid Digital Media Console 100/900 ship with <enter your desired component>? Having the Yuclid Digital Media Console connected to the television and sitting in your living room opens the door to all kinds of new and fun uses. If would be great if we could had all the latest new technologies you could ever possibly want, but we want to provide a solution that is economical while still giving you the features that are most desired. Feel free to suggest other components you would like to see with the consoles, since we do like to provide the solutions you desire.
What are the technical specifications of the consoles, i.e. memory, processors, etc.? We want to offer you solutions not a technology list. Our value is integrating technology in a cost effective manner to provide you compelling solutions, so the "insides" shouldn't be too relevant. Also, it's difficult to say exactly since we are always trying to improve our pricing and feature set. But if want to know what are current shipping configurations are, see the product specifications.
