Re: Sleep Therapy Providers in Austin, TX ?

Can't say I'm happy with Total Sleep. They are in it for the money only, the office is super lo-rent type place and they still charge me $$ every month as if my insurance is not paying them. I at least managed to get a machine that has data capability, wish I knew about APAP before getting it, I hav...

Re: Can I buy a used CPAP on eBay or Craigslist and set it up my

Re: What you need to know before seeing a DME

The other side of it is quackery and fraud. That's what you get with a completely unregulated market.

Some regulation is necessary, if ...

Re: M Series Auto Cpap Data

How do you set the time on a 450Pro? I don't see it in the menus, but my data is all messed up with the time being off by several hours.

Re: Help with Installing Encore Pro

Got it to install finally. I did not have enough room on C, only a mere 2Gig free. So, I was doing a custom install to D: which had over 800GB free, well, it turns out that the install uses C: as some sort of scratch or temporary storage when installing.
