Is it really necessary for me to replace my STB 7100 series with this new multi-room DVR?

I just wanted to know other people's opinions on this because so far, I'm leaving my existing setup alone. I was looking on line to see what upgrades may be available to me and the multi-room DVR is one of them, which now I see is not only available to just new customers.
But here are some of the reasons for my hesitance about switching:
- I never record anything and I never will. People say "never say never" but that's one "never" statement that I make pretty confidently.
- I only have one TV in my house, just in the living room.
So I guess my question is, "What would I gain, if anything?" Or would getting that new DVR be good preparation for further upgrades in the TV Guide Display?
As long as I can watch my TV and all the basics are working as they should, that's really all that matters to me.
Solved!

Based on your comments you don't need a DVR.
However if you were to decide to get one you only should get a HD DVR. The multi-room is a software feature, not different hardware, that can be enable if you ever setup an additional stb for another room. The multi-room feature is an additional $4 over the price of the DVR.

Can I replace an older Airport Extreme with a newer one by importing configuration file

Can I import the configuration file from an older Airport base station into a newer replacement Airport base station? It would seem this would save me a lot of extra work. First, it would hopefully save time by automatically configuring the new base station without me having to fiddle with the settings. Second, it might hopefully save some more time if I would not have to re-enter the network parameters for all the devices currrently connected to my Airport (wi-fi) network.
Read on for more details.
My old Apple Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS) is not a gigabit one. Moreover, it's been experiencing some hardware failures recently. So, I recently purchased a new Apple Airport Extreme (base station) that is a gigabit one (Model# ME918LL/A with 802.11ac Wi-FI). Now, I'd like to replace the older base station with this newer one with the MINIMAL amount of disruption and manual work possible.
Regards,
Tony

I relaced an older AEBS with the new one, recently, and did not need to import anything, but if you can save the configuration file from your old one, then you can import it to the new one. I've never tried that when I switched, and it didn't seem to matter which suggests the configuration file may be on disk somewhere.

The main error in this position is thinking ANY sized SSD can be "storage"
Any Macbook SSD should be idealized as a working platform computer system, containing all your applications, documents, and weekly-use necessary files; and all media files such as ‘big-data’ (music/PDF collections/video/pictures), unless directly needed in the near future, should be kept off the computer and on external storage USB or likewise bare hard drives.
You cant do what you want without removing the internal SSD
Officially, it is not possible for an end user to upgrade the storage in any Retina Display MacBook Pro model after purchase

No. The purchase history is tied to your iTunes store account.
Maybe there is a different way to achieve your objective. Why do you think you need to change your account name?

Why would you make a new account? This will likely cause many problems. Just get you old account enabled.
Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons" alert appears

Everything you purchased with the old account will always be tied to that account. You will have to authorize the computer for that account and you will have to update the apps from that account.

Best,

you cannot use your pc license to install on a mac. you would need a separate license (and serial number) for that.
adobe allows platform swaps, but only with the latest (xi) version, Order product | Platform, language swap
your option to use acrobat on a mac are to upgrade to acrobat pro xi and change platforms, use a windows emulator (parallels/boot camp etc) on your mac or swap with a third party.
