I turn off DST in these old devices and set the timezone manaully 2ce a year -- once in the Spring and once in the fall. Avoids having to do it 4 times.

It's a bummer that they no longer make the extended life battery for the Myfi since the one i'm using now's starting to have trouble[no longer keeping a full charge]so i'll be stuck using one of the regular batteries once the black one dies.

Yep, you are correct. I did see the "regular size" batteries on AMAZON for only $12.50 though.

Most of those $12 batteries are shipped from Hong Kong though.[I do have a regular battery but it's the one XM sent to replace the original battery I had when they did the recall several years ago]........Today for some reason it[the extended life battery] did mantain a full charge.

I got a reply and the bad news is they've tried to get the Clip XT antenna but have never been able to get it.

The LED light has went out on my main MyFi (I have two). It still plays but you cannot read the screen well. I am thinking about cancelling this and adding internet access.

Internet is a great way to round out the service. More ways to listen, more channels, on demand, yadda yadda yadda, and it's cheaper than the second sub.
