Thanks Jay. I wish I could take credit for the idea, but I’m just happy that I found out about it and I can share it with everyone.

@Jennifer – Thanks. You know we like our infographics here.
The good news is you have a “lock down” feature already built into your iPhone. Under Settings>General>Passcode>Lock you can enable the feature that will erase all data after 10 failed passcode attempts.
There are some apps that give you more control but I have not used any of these myself. Check appolicious.com for apps and reviews – great site!

Great infographic! Do you know the names of any “lock down” apps for iPhone?

Comment on Dear TiVo – I’m Afraid I Am Going to Lose You by tivofrustrated

I am all ready to go antenna and online. Tivo looked like the perfect answer! I love my old direct tv tivo. Then as I looked into it I realized that they want you to buy a tivo for every room and pay a subscription for each of those tivos!! Are you kidding me? I did a chat with Tivo to verify that they don’t have just basic recievers for the other tvs that would pull from the main tivo. I too have loved Tivo for so long and can’t understand why they don’t get their act together. I agree they could own this new antenna/online market with some consumer friendly options and advertising. ugh!

I just happened across this post and although I am a DISH
Network employee, I’ve been a subscriber of theirs for a lot longer. Now I’m
not trying to give you a sales pitch or anything but DISH has a lot of
advantages over DirecTV. First of all the price is lower, but I think more
importantly for a techie like yourself is that DISH’s DVR’s are better. Especially the ViP922, it
has a huge HDD, sleek menus and built in Sling technology. The latter is my
favorite since I’m always on the go and occasionally travelling, the sling lets
me stream all of my content (both recorded and live) anywhere I can get a
decent WiFi or 3G signal on my iPad, or Laptop. And there’s no monthly charge
for that. With HD free for life, there’s no charge for the HD channels either.
Plus now that DISH has the Blockbuster
Movie Pass
they have streaming, DVD’s, Blurays, and video games (if you’re a gamer) by mail.
I’ll stop now, this is starting to sound like a sales pitch LOL. But really
DISH is always looking for ways to improve the value that their customers get
and it would definitely be worth a few moments to check them out.
