We use an automated Google Doc for all of the registrations, they don't send out confirmation emails just display it on the page. Do not fear if you clicked the submit button you are good to go

I was wondering when I might be getting the email for me to accept the beta to be shipped to me. I'm hoping for early September!BangBang wrote:Probably around Xmas. beta testing starts next monthSammy2 wrote:So when's the release date?

My impression was that the Mocha adapter was built in to the unit as a coax connection. You would need to supply an adapter at the head end or use a "Q" with it built in as well. ...in theory.

By "modular" do you mean "USB device"?Motz wrote:What was shown at CES was actually a modular design with a plug and play moca adapter for echo and q.

What we actually showed I am not sure if there is a screen shot somewhere but basically in the back the Ethernet slides in and out the back and you can replace it with a nice like a plug and play. Not sure if that makes sense.

So plug in cards for either MoCA or ethernet... nice. I'll take the ethernet as that is the way things are wired but in a lot of cases I'm sure it is coax and not ethernet at each tv location.

I'm in! Woohoo This is so PERFECT because I loaned my xbox 360 to a friend for him to try it out as an extender and his house got hit by lightning, disabling the Ethernet port on the xbox. At the same time it still thinks it's plugged in. The friend and I figured it could be repaired so he's going to "pay for the repair" we all know how that goes though. Can't wait to get it and hook it up, I've been dying with no tv in my bed room!
