While The MTN. will not be available to DirecTV subscribers until at least September 1st this year, it is something to which fans can look forward with anticipation. This new channel will provide in depth coverage of all aspects of Mountain West Division 1 sports, from baseball, soccer and football to Olympic sports and much more. While the channel location is not set yet, nor is the actual programming format, checking with DirecTV's website will keep you up to date on this fascinating development.

With the new HD DVRs, you can get true MP4 viewing, as well as standard format MP2. Additionally, you can record 200 hours of standard programming, or 50 hours of HD shows. With the new programmable memory, you can program your HD DVR to record an entire season. Even if the show changes times, your DVR will keep up. Standard DVR capabilities include 90 minutes of live TV recording that can be paused or rewound. You can also store music and photos using DirecTV's "Media Share" offering based on the Intel Viiv processor.

As you can see, getting the new Plus HD DVR is a great way to get the most out of your sports package. Upgrading to HD before the offering of The MTN. channel is a good idea; this way, you'll have all the hardware in place prior to the station's launch. With this setup, you can record upcoming sports games when you're not home. How many sports fans have had to throw their hands up in frustration when they learn that they won't be home to watch the big game?

Well, that's no longer an issue (as many have known for some time now!). The combination of The MTN. and a new HD DVR, though, gives you the options you need to catch all of your favorite Division 1 sports, even if you're not home when the game comes on. You can also program your DVR from your cell phone or your work computer, so if you forget about the upcoming game, there is no need to worry. Don't forget to check with DirecTV to find out what package will carry The MTN, as well as to sign up for the new HD DVR offer.

Can the IQAir remove particulates in the air that cause allergies and asthma? The IQAir will give you better quality air and better health due to its incredible filtration abilities. With the IQAir your air will be free from harmful particles such as pet dander, dust mites, dust mite feces, bacteria, viruses, mold spores, and dust. The IQAir will remove harmful particles from your air leaving you with clean, healthy, air that is easier to breath and healthier to live in.

How would you define a HyperHEPA filter and what makes it different from the average filter? Regular HEPA filters have the ability to filter out 99.5% of dangerous particles at a size of 0.3 microns from the air and although impressive, 90 percent of the particles in the air are smaller than 0.3 microns; making many filtration systems using a standard HEPA filter ineffective of trapping and destroying particulates such as viruses, smoke, etc. Another advantage the IQAir has over other air purifiers is that it is a well-engineered piece of equipment. Unlike other filtration systems the IQAir will not leak harmful particles back into the air due to the system not being sealed or designed in a proper manner. The difference between the IQAir and a standard filter is effectiveness at which it works. The IQAir filters at a staggering 99.5% at 0.003 microns, making the IQAir 100 times more effective than the average HEPA filter.

What about the particulates that are less than 0.003 Microns what happens to them? Anything lower then a 0.003 Micron is a gas. This means that IQAir's pioneering of technology has the ability to remove virtually all particles, bacteria and viruses from the air. The IQAir works so well it is actually the first air purifier to pass one of the harshest filtration tests in the world: the EN 1822.

Does the IQAir have the ability to remove things such as gases and odors from the air? With the IQAir things such as a harmful odors and gases are no longer an issue as the V-5 Cell Gas and Odor Eliminator removes offensive gases and odors from the air. The IQAir's V-5 filter has the ability to filter out a variety of harmful items from the air including cooking odors, fumes from household cleaners, paint smells, pet odors, and gas pollutants.

How many filters are built into the IQAir and how often do they have to be changed? The IQAir Health Pro Plus uses a total of 3 filters, including the PreMax Pre-Motor Filter, The V-5 Cell Gas and Odor Eliminator and a HyperHepa Filter. The PreMax Pre-Motor Filter's task is to remove 90% of harmful particles from the air. Due to the fact that this filter is in consistent contact with particles, this filter should be changed every six to eighteen months. The next filter in the system is the V-5 Cell which sole responsibility to remove gasses and odors from the air, this filter should typically be replaced every 2 to 5 year. The last filter found in the IQAir filtration system is the HyperHEPA. This filter's job is to remove any of particles the previous filters did not catch, due to the fact this filter will eventually fill with tiny particles it is important to change this filter every 2 to 5 years, for optimal results. Designed to be easy for consumer use the IQAir has a countdown clock in hours that shows you how much time is left on your filters, so you no longer have to worry about writing down the date or figuring out when you last changed the filters because the IQAir has the information located directly on the top of the system. Additionally the IQAir includes a 5-year warranty and very low maintenance fees so keeping up on the system is easy and inexpensive.

Usually Air Purifiers are loud, is the IQAir a loud system? Built with quiet in mind, the IQAir when on an average speed of 2 or 3 is barely noticeable. The secret to the IQAir's ultra quiet design is the fan is centrally located, giving the filters the ability absorb the noise the machine may cause. Another reason for the IQAir's silent operation is the double wall housing and 8 vibration absorbing rubbers built-in to ensure the IQAir is truly a quiet mechanism.

Who exactly uses an IQAir? Places where cleanliness is a primary concern such as hospitals, doctors, dentists, and other places where impeccable air quality is a necessity. The IQAir was used to fight against the SARS virus, since IQAir is capable of capturing all viruses at an efficiency of 99.9%. A more recent example of the IQAir being used is the 2008 Beijing Olympics, to clean the polluted air found there.

The IQAir HealthPro Plus is a truly amazing product that severely reduces the amount of particulates, odors, gases and allergenic triggers in your house. The IQAir can help prevent allergies and asthma attacks from occurring. Even if you do not have allergies or asthma, the IQAir still helps by drastically reducing the amount of particles breathe in a day. Believe it or not, the average person breathes in 2 spoonfuls of particles every day, however with the power of the IQAir HealthPro Plus and its HyperHepa filtration you will breathe in considerably less particles daily and notice a cleaner, fresher house!

Why You Need an Air Purifier in Homes with Children

Children are exposed to all manners of colds, viruses, and germs every day. When they catch one of these air-borne illnesses they come home and they spread the germs to everyone else in the home. So the illness is passed along from individual to individual. An air filtration system can remove as many as 99.97 percent of the particles in our air that we do not need to breathe, and this includes the nasty germs that spread those illnesses.

Many children have allergy problems. Different things trigger allergic reactions and the only way to prevent your child from having the itchy watery eyes, headaches, and their symptoms that are associated with allergies is to remove them from the exposure to their triggers. An air filtration system catches particles of dust, pollen, mold and mildew spores, and pet hair and dander, removing them from the air and reducing all of those allergic reactions.

Benefits to Pet Owners

These systems are very beneficial to pet owners because they remove almost all of the pet dander from the air. Now the owner may not have any adverse reactions to the dander from their pet, but some of their friends or visitors may. If the pet owner places an air filtration system in the house to eliminate the dander from the air then the friends that visit them will be able to do so without having an allergy attack.

The dust and pollen that is present in your air is not directly related to the cleanliness of your home. Even very clean homes that show no sign of dust or dirt will have these items in their air. Even hospitals and sterile laboratories have to have systems to remove harmful things from the air that they breathe.

Cleaner air is beneficial to all of us, but especially to those of us that have breathing problems, or allergy sufferers. The cleaner our air inside our homes is the easier it is for us to breathe.

We do have natural filters in our bodies to filter out irritants, but the reason why you need an air purifier is to keep from over working your natural filters.

Despite the universal, and often false, "quiet" claim by air purifier manufacturers, "Noisy on the high speed" is by far the most frequent consumer complaint.

Surround Air XJ-3000C

The real issue is not how loud a purifier is on high, but how much sound it makes while cleaning meaningful amounts of air.
Several premium air purifiers are loud on high, but offer as many
as six speeds for useful quiet air purification.

The Decibel (dB) scale measures noise in objective terms.

On the Decibel scale, each 10 points [dB(A)] added represents 10
times as much sound. For example; 70 dB(A), is not 17% louder,
but ten times as loud as 60 dB(A). With many purifiers topping out in the low 70's, louder than normal conversation, sound levels are a major consumer concern.

A few Decibel ratings;

Threshold of human hearing: 0 dB(A)

Quietest air purifier: 15 dB(A)

Soft whisper: 20 dB(A)

Good air purifier on low: 32 dB(A)

Ordinary air purifier on low: 36 dB(A)

Refrigerator: 50 dB(A)

Normal conversation: 60 dB(A)

Dishwasher running: 55-70 dB(A)

Typical air purifier on high: 66 dB(A)

Busy street traffic, loud air purifier: 70 dB(A )

Car interior: 75 dB(A)

Vacuum cleaner: 80 dB(A)

Common home stereo: 80 dB(A)

Lawn mower: 90 dB(A)

Rock concert: 110 dB(A)

The air purifier industry has no standards for noise levels. Only a few vendors voluntarily reveal actual decibel sound emissions.

Many people will find equally noisy machines are not equally distracting. This is because the combination of sounds is different, more harmonious.

The notion that a quieter air purifier produces less stress and improved health is confirmed by scientific studies. Prolonged exposure to noise levels above 70 dBA can cause hearing loss. Noise levels greater than 50 dB(A) can make quiet conversation impossible.

Most air purifiers have a fan to move air. Nobody has found a way to clean air without moving it. Moving air makes noise.

We are told to make a purchase based on the largest room size an air purifier can clean. Manufacturer's room size recommendations are based on full time high speed operation. This is not acceptable to most users, who will turn the purifier down or off.

A bigger air purifier can clean the smaller room on lower speeds,
often quietly. Many air purifier buyers make the mistake of saving money by selecting a less expensive purifier when the most powerful model in that same vendor's product line is maybe only higher.

A smaller unit will have to run on high continuously, and most smaller air purifiers are noisy on high. A bigger air purifier can run for a few minutes on high, and then be turned down to a quiet level.

Noise levels in decibels are not useful without associated airflow data. If it isn't moving any air, who cares how "quiet" it is? Reviews should cite a noise level with a related Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR) or airflow rate in cubic feet per minute (cfm). For example: 40dB(A)@212cfm is pretty quiet for the air being cleaned.

Well engineered backward curved fan blades and sealed ball bearing motors are less noisy. They cost more.

Noise can also develop when bearings or bushings wear out on cheaper motors, allowing side play of the fan shaft. When slack allows fan blades to rub housings, vibrations increase.

Consumers can avoid "quiet air purifier" disappointment by demanding true sound data from manufacturers, and installing a larger model than builders recommend for their room.
