I looked on the Rocketfish site. It looks like it uses 2 lag bolts. While they are strong, they are only as good as the wood into which they are screwed. With the six screws on the old style mount, there is some additional redundancy.]]> Fri, 30 Sep 2016 20:50:28 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=83039#83039 new 2017 television? : Originally posted by StephenHIt... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=83027#83027 Author: patrick_dube

It's a rocketfish.

Could not find the exact model number written on it, but It's identical to the RF-TVMFM01(https://www.rocketfishproducts.com/pdp/RF-TVMFM01/1065552)

Any information on the mount (brand, at least)?

Angle seems to be about 15 degres. Not that much, but a BIG improvement over 0 degres.

Comparing both, one is almost unwatchable the other is near perfect on the couch.

If I am not mistaken the Insignia brand is a Chinese off brand sold at Best Buy.

I don't know which is worst... Insigna or Jensen... I guess that we'll have to find our the hard way... In any case, the wall mount is at least what people have been asking for for quite a long time. I'll do a complete review of the new mount and Television. when I have it at home.]]> Wed, 03 Aug 2016 08:53:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79957#79957 new 2017 television? : Insignia is a cheap brand of TV.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79947#79947 Author: ehughes3

Insignia is a cheap brand of TV. The one I had in the garage lasted a year, just past warranty. I've never had a TV wear out that quick. It's apparently a cost cutting move.]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2016 22:44:07 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79947#79947 new 2017 television? : Nope. 120v only for the television.... https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79834#79834 Author: patrick_dube

Nope. 120v only for the television. No 12v outlet either. Everything else seems to be the same. though. I have examined everything throuhly, but did not have an 'older' (in the lot) 179 to compare.]]> Mon, 01 Aug 2016 13:54:25 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79834#79834 new 2017 television? : 12 volt power supply? https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79825#79825 Author: techntrek

I just made a deposit today on a brand new 2017 rp-179. The television included is an Insigna instead of the old Jensen? They had 2 2017 on the lot with Insigna televisions...

Also the wall mount is different... And can tilt... I will post pictures when I have mine at home...]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2016 21:31:19 +0000 https://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8486&PID=79796#79796
