    I'd pay $200 for a safe, flat cord -- but I don't think I would ever trust another flat one again. Seeing flames in your apartment just a minute before you were planning to leave is enough to make you paranoid about them all. I'm glad I at least was able to raise some warning flags here, at my...

    Flat cable wire caused fire

    I have had a Dish Network dish since July of 08. It was an all-new installation. Because I live in an apartment, they had to use a flat cable wire to run into my apartment from the balcony. The wire goes around the door and is flat so the door will still close. Last night I noticed my...
