Edmund you got it in one! Thanks!

Does anyone know of a remote code that will work with a Vizio M220VA? None of the ones listed in the menu for setting up the remote work. I know the remote is good because it worked on the last TV and still works on the DirecTV receiver.

Thanks all for the feedback. I should have told you that I have an OTA antenna. I can get ABC, CBS, FOX and PBS fine (all these towers are relatively close and relatively in the same direction). but can't get NBC because of the fact that La Crosse WI and Onalaska WI are in a river valley...

I live in Wisconsin in area code 54601. I have a 5 LNB dish and H20 receivers. If I want to get the local channels from dirctv do I need another dish or can the 5 LNB dish do it?

Several years ago I purchased a 7.1 110watt per channel receiver from BB with the protection plan. A couple of months ago the receiver crapped out. BB had to send it to their repair center to determine if it was indeed DOA in order for me to get a new receiver. In the mean time I did some...

Sounds to me like the DD feed from the network had some issues.

I followed the links that you provided and I noticed that under the spec's that the nominal and max power ratings for the speakers was not given. This makes me think that those speakers were specificaly designed to work with the receiver from that HTIB unit. That's not to say that they will...

You could also try turning the bass level down on the receiver. Smaller speakers have a harder time with high bass levels. I have also noticed that box systems skimp on the speaker quality. You want to get the highest quality speaker you can afford because the speaker is the least efficient...

The Ohm switch is most likely to be a physical switch located on the back of the receiver near to where the speakers terminate. Also the original problem you described might be caused by feeding too much power to those speakers. Look at the back of the speakers to see the wattage rating. If...

I just got done upgrading the receiver in my system. Here is what I did. Fed the DirecTv receiver into the audio receiver via HDMI for the video and optical digital audio (also called Toslink I think) for the audio. I fed the DVD player into the audio receiver via HDMI for the video and...

Here is the situation. I have a newer DirecTv HD receiver and on outside antenna. I live in La Crosse WI 54601. The nearest NBC station is 60 miles away in Rochester MN broadcast on channel 10. However channel 10 is also rebroadcasted on channel 67 for this area. When I do the antenna setup...

If you had a PocketPC would you use that as a MP3 player or would you use a dedicated MP3 player?

Who makes it theslag?

Thanks for the reply charper1. I want to use this player for working-out (and probably for nothing else) so I don't want to spend too much on it... max $120.

Anybody have any opinions on MP3 Players? What brand is most reliable or are you most satisfied with? I am looking for a 1Gb MP3 player with a built-in FM tuner. Price range is right around $100.
