    OTA options in apt building

    After several years of Dish and several more of DirecTV, I'm finally considering cutting the cable and going OTA for locals. The main problem: I'm in the 2nd floor of an apartment building, facing north, and where I'm located in Denver means all of the stations are practically due west of me...

    Random audio problems

    I've only had DirecTV for a few weeks with a single HR24-500 HD-DVR, and I was gone for one of those weeks, so I'm not sure if it was from the very start, but we didn't run across it before we left. But occasionally I'll switch to a channel and the audio doesn't come through. We first noticed...

    LCD screen or HDTV for computer & Dish 722 use?

    I'm looking at replacing my 15" monitor with something 22" and widescreen. The intent would be to hook up the new monitor or HDTV to my Dish 722 as well. Should I just go with 22" LCD monitor or 22" HDTV (probably just 720p)? I know either would be fine for computer use, but what would be the...

    Dish & a PC TV tuner card

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to ask, but here we go: My wife does not want me getting a tv for our office since we've already got 3 PC's in here, so I'm considering getting a tv tuner card for my PC. The computer is 5 years old, but from what I've read, the specs indicate that a tuner...
