do you have the bedside or the mobile zeo?
Bedside.
(bump since it's time-sensitive)
Thank you for bumping this - yesterday was incredibly busy.
If you have a bedside, you actually have a better option than the headband: (Zeo Bedside Adhesive Replacement Headbands)
http://www.amazon.com/Zeo-Bedside-Adhes ... ywords=zeo They work WELL for two days - doubling the life of a pack making them a very cheap alternative. I purchased some Tac Gel
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000K4 ... UTF8&psc=1 to extend the life even more, but I have not tried it, yet.
I have the Zeo Bedside Adhesive Replacement Headbands and have tried them, and they are incredibly comfortable and do not lose signal because they do not shift. If they run out of these, you have the back up of these:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002C2 ... MKE2Z1JRG0
Otherwise, ebay occasionally has used headbands. Other than that, I haven't seen anything in a while.

Thanks, I already ordered a set of those since the adhesive pads are a standard medical part and likely to be obtainable for a long time to come. But my skin is fairly sensitive to adhesives, and as a result I'm less likely to use adhesives daily.
Thanks for the tip regarding wearing them twice and the use of tac gel. I might tolerate that better, apart from the mess.
I guess I'll be trawling eBay for extra headbands...and take precious care of the ones I have!

As of last night, the site is still working, at least the bedside upload and read. (knock on wood)

They took down the ability to get the unencrypted firmware for a bit, but then put it back up just recently. I hope that's a good sign. Maybe they are negotiating a restructure?

I sent a PM to you yesterday afternoon.

Sorry about the delay in responding. I am on a MAC so my results are different than PC. I tried the viewer (version 0.3a) on OS 10.6 and it failed because it needed Java 7 to run. I had version 0.2a2 compiled and running on OS 10.6 but I lost the recipe. I have a laptop that runs OS 10.7 with Java 7 and the viewer worked there. The display is not nearly as nice as the website was. At this point I will probably stick with the data decoder and importing the results into excel. Clunky, and time consuming, but I can do it. I am more interested in merging the data with a 3 axis accelerometer to correlate movement with sleep.
Take care

I just picked up a new bedside unit as a spare or for parting out. It cost the same as a full face mask so its not too bad.
I thought about doing that as well - haven't had the nerve to do it, yet though. . .don't think I can actually justify the going price at the moment. . . unless you know of someone who is selling for cheaper than 300 - 400 bucks.
I did buy an extra transmitter, extra headbands and an extra power cord, though.
OH.MY.WORD: $662.98 at sears!
i have had a zeo bedside unit for a 1.5yrs, and am selling the alarm clock. i don't use it, and was looking for a replacement headband, and realized i can't even find one to buy (mine was lost when i moved a year ago and i never got around to looking for one until i found the unit today while cleaning out my closet).
if anyone is interested in the bedside unit + AC adapter please let me know.
