Well, I'm returning my ET-733 now and will probably wait for the ET-735. My ET-733 receiver LCD screen was having strange issues where the LCD was very dim and unreadable at certain angles of viewing (like looking straight at it). I called the manufacturer and they mentioned they had a few "bad" batches discovered with that defect. Thanks to Amazon Prime the return process should be pretty easy (and free!). I have it packaged and ready to drop off for return at my nearest convenience now.
What baffles me is why Maverick don't just go to a bluetooth/wifi combo version. Bluetooth (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy) has evolved quite a bit lately and can exceed ranges greater than 100meters (330 feet) with very low power usage. But, like a cell phone, I could get at least a few days using Wifi and really unleash the power of these things! Rechargeable batteries are the world we live it now and I don't mind them. If it also accepted wall power it could be that much better!
With a Wifi version I could be at work (many miles away) and remotely monitor how my BBQ dinner is coming along and giving me a good excuse to leave early! Unfortunately, I don't think that is gonna happen with the Bluetooth only version.
