    Questions before ordering an install

    TO: ethanlerma Thanks again for your response and patience. TO: paulman182 That is good news if the same applies to my location. I have a demark panel in my laundry room and from there, I have coax and ether net runs to all my rooms, doubled up where the Hopper would go. My best guess is...

    Questions before ordering an install

    TO KAB: Last time I picked up the phone, Dish would not answer squat unless I first gave them my name, SSN and credit card number. Not doing that just to ask questions. TO ethanlerma: That is a good summary!. Understand about getting on the roof, since I see so many dishes on roof's in my...

    Questions before ordering an install

    Thinking about getting Dish and have a couple of questions. Zip 32712. None of which I have been able to find at Dish Network Web 1. Most likely will go with 240+ channels option? 2. Will use the Special Offer Military & Vets? 3. My son is a Dish subscriber, said there was a "family" discount...

    Just signed up for service

    I called Dish direct and inquired about the "special deal" and before they would quote me a price, asked for both my SSN and CC. Told them I was just trying to get a quote. They said that they would need that info to do so. (BS) The guy was very aggressive and yet was trying to be overly...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    Problem solved. I bought a 1 in to 3 out toslink spltter. I also bought a digital (toslink) to analog (RCA) adaptor. Connections are TV toslink out to Toslink splitter, one output to sound bar, one output to AV amp and the third output to the digital to analog adapter. The headphones plug...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    I threw out my O-scope several months ago but was thinking that I "should" try to set up a couple of Mic's on both outputs and measure the delay. :-) I would rather have something solid to measure it rather then trying to listen to it be ear especially when I make adjustments. I might...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    It is an LG OLED55C6P that only has one optical output. I was searching earlier and found the 1 to 3 optical splitter and a optical to analog (RCA) adapter (L&R channels). Reading the reviews on these items I was amazed at how many people are fretting over hooking up their new 4k TV's to their...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    So I spent Tuesday and Wednesday on the phone with LG VIP support for at least an hour each. I changed settings and connections ect, cable box, hdmi cables in different ports on the TV and at the end, could not come up with a solution. LG guy said he is out of options. Went to Best buy today...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    Yes I have tried just about every combination of sound options, the delay remains the same. Instead of using the headphones out of the RCA type connector, I took them out of the picture altogether. I inserted my sound bar and used the RCA audio to the audio in, no difference. I likewise...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    Thanks for your reply. This is what the description is of AV Sync Adjustment (From Menu on tv), "Adjust audio timing to synchronize video and audio". That adjustment is from +15 to -2. The problem is not sync between audio and video, it is perfect by the way, but rather the "audio" out of...

    Sound delay from TV speakers

    Got a new LG OLED that for all purposes, I am listening to it thru the TV build in speakers. Problem is that to aid a hearing loss, I used the audio out from the cable box to connect to Sennheiser wireless transmitter to my headphones. I believe the audio I am hearing is real time, yet the...

    Want DirecTV & FiOS Internet. Is this viable?

    In your neighborhood, is FIOS copper to your house? Twisted pair or coax? How far to the Fiber source? I can't get FIOS in my zip but a local phone company CL was at the door yesterday wanting to install a "FREE" 30 day trial of their fiber/copper.

    This industry needs to be regulated

    Harshness you are correct. Between the 4 weekend NFL games, a Thursday night game and red zone, although not perfect, is a great deal. Other football that is so great is the cable company broadcasts local high school football. If I am not in the grandstands, I can watch my grandsons on TV...
