Use these 3 websites to find the best mortgage rates easily. These websites provide clear rate information with no bait-n-switch tactics (plus they require fairly minimal personal info). If you find a better rate than what's published on these 3 websites, you have very-likely scored yourself a great deal!

  3. Penfed

Use the following websites, if you are looking for a fully online experience (start-to-finish). Note that their rates may not be the best always.

Review: WatchIndia.tv set top box

Options to watch Indian TV channels used to be somewhat limited in the US (especially for regional-language channels). Sometime ago I came across http://www.watchindia.tv/  , but never had a chance to try it out. Finally, I decided to give it a try & ordered their set-top box (I got the newer version with HDMI output & WiFi support). My experience so far has been pretty good... The device is slightly larger than the size of a wireless-router Setup of the device was pretty easy. It came pre-configured to log-in with my watchIndia account Video/audio quality is reasonably good (I use a wired ethernet connection). The video quality reminds me of an average quality SD channel (or a video-cassette). The picture does have some pixelation, but I found it to be tolerable. Check out the pictures below. The overall UI has some constraints, but it is not horrible (the UI does have some latency, but it's not too bad) The remote is OK; most of the buttons don't seem to be fun

Indian TV Channels on Roku

I got a chance to play Roku earlier in the week. Roku's UI is very simple to use. Support for NetFlix is awesome. Roku's UI & the "channel store" reminds of iPhone's AppStore (not sure which came first, Roku's ChannelStore or iPhone's AppStore). Quite a few providers of Indian TV Channels online ( YuppTV.com , ChannelLive.TV , Reliable IPTV,  Tamil IPTV, etc) are available on Roku (complete listing is here ). I got a chance to play YuppTV's test channel. The quality is not bad at all. But, the selection of channels is somewhat limited. Wish WatchIndia.TV  (which offers a lot more channels) was available on Roku. PS: My review of WatchIndia.TV is here EDIT #1: Indian TV channels are now available on Roku, via DishNetwork.
