HDTV Hardware for Rent

My philosophy is simple: make new tech toys available for tryouts at modest prices, generally $10/day. When my husband bugs me to buy some new piece of high-tech gear, I add it to our rental line. If there's something you'd like to try and we don't have it yet, please do send a suggestion.
