      <blockquote><a href="#144948"><em>In reply to mmcpher:</em></a></blockquote><p>Video playback has the volume muted by default, you have to turn it up otherwise when the page loads during the live show you would get audio blasting.</p>

    <p>On my desktop, it opens muted but I can turn on sound. On my GS8+, it opens muted and won't let me unmute. </p>

    <p>Instead of tearing out all your coax, you could use it as a wired connection. <strong>MoCA</strong>, which stands for “Multimedia over Coax” delivers the same high-speed network connection you get through an Ethernet <strong>cable</strong>, and delivers it through your existing coaxial <strong>cable</strong> (the wire you use to receive <strong>cable</strong> TV) to any room in your home.</p><h2><a href="https://www.tivo.com/support/how-to/what-moca&quot; target="_blank">Guides|How To|Get Connected| How to install MoCa cables</a></h2><p>www.tivo.com/support/how-to/what-moca</p>

      <blockquote><a href="#145870"><em>In reply to pcl:</em></a> He's probably just going to replace the covers on the walls. With either a flat cover, or remove the coax port if its with another jack. Pulling out the cable would require a lot of money redoing walls etc. </blockquote><p><br></p>

    <p>I own the Platinum colored base Surface Laptop and it's absolutely fine, I think it may be harder to discolor or easily scratch this particular color of&nbsp;unit, which is ironic since it's the base model. The alcantara is also silver/platinum colored and no smudges or oil issues, either.&nbsp;To all those worried about it, get the low or high end version in Platinum rather than Cobalt or Burgundy, or get a SP or SB instead.</p>
