  • Insignia NS-DXA1 - Zenith DTT900 Converter Box Difference?

    I've read that these two digital TV decoder boxes (two of the cheapies qualified under the coupon program) are identical, produced by LG. If so, then why is there an insistence that there's a difference between the two? What exactly makes them different, if anything?

  • JVC HD Radio HDR1 vs Wal-Mart's HDW10?

    I've researched and sat on the JVC HD Radio KD-HDR1 for the last few months, watching the price head down hopefully to a reasonable point (under USD 100). Yesterday (Monday 3/5/2007) Wal-Mart announced they will be carrying the JVC KD-HDW10, to try to spread the HD Radio gospel.

    Does anyone know if there's a difference between the HDR1 and the HDW10, or is the HDW10 just an HDR1 w/ a different model # for Wal-Mart's sake? I can't tell the diff looking at the specs online between JVC and Wal-Mart.

    Please, no "HD Radio is stupid, go XM/Sirius" comments. I'm past the point of paying a subscription fee to listen to radio.

  • Can I deduct my child's charitable contribs on my return?

    These are cash contribs made throughout the year to my church made in my child's name (teach her the value of giving). The church sends a tithe receipt in her name, along with a separate receipt in my name.

    My child is a minor, has no income (not even int/div). Haven't been able to find anything definitive on IRS.gov on whether to take the deduction myself.

    I file MFJ w/ my wife, itemize every year we've had a house and mortgage.
