I've got a 4-5 year old LG 42 in LCD that has developed a problem not with screen burn but some of the thin film screening between the glass and the panel has developed wrinkles that produce annoying shadows that are visible on low light scenes. Anyone know a fix?
But with sets being so cheap...
On Saturday afternoon the HDMI output on a H2K went black, no picture or sound. I tried several resets and swapped cables with a Joey - still black. The RCA and component outputs were OK so I switched to component and ordered a replacement Hopper which will be replaced thru a tech visit...
So yesterday I used my H2K in trick play mode for a few hours. I put the O's-Tigers game on, hit the pause button, and changed tuners using the swap key. I spent the next few hours watching NFL games in real time on another tuner. I would occasionally swap back to the paused BB game, watch for a...
The season opener was a classic. The kids started a company named The Washington Redskins and the show, as usual, managed to parody the entire NFL from Roger Goodell to Dan Snyder, especially Jerry Jones, and the whole cast of NFL owners.
I live in the Philly RSN and have the AT250 pkg with some premiums. My biggest gripe about Dish concerns the availability of BTN. Their promos say that it's available in AT200 and higher pkgs in states with a Big 10 school, yet they exclude the Philly RSN and don't mention it until you find out...
I really like the new software but there is one feature that is driving me nuts and I can't figure out how to stop it. When I reply to a post something is autosaving my reply if I don't post it. I can erase it, select and cut or delete it, even try to post the empty reply, and the next time I...
I have an HP desktop with a fast AMD quad core processor, 8GB memory and a Radeon 5200 series graphics card. I'm trying to edit a wedding video that's about 16GB total and consists of about 135 clips in m2st (Sony) format. I'm using Cyberlink Power Director V8. I can import the video OK but when...
Installed on 1 Hopper this morning.
No info screen at startup so I'm not sure what's new.
One interesting thing
Available Joey S/W W101 S372 S364 S558
My Joeys are linked to the other Hopper so I don't know what they will get. I guess it will be S372.
What's W101?
Please merge this if it has been posted but I did a quick search and didn't find anything.
2 recordings of 24-Another Day To Live were recorded, saved and are on the hard drive but do not show on the My Recordings screen. A search for '24' shows both the 30 minute preview and Episode 1 are on...
Arrived unannounced on one Hopper this AM. I didn't even notice it until I saw the HWS announcement. It certainly didn't fix the slow response problem, especially at startup.
Got it on 1 Hopper this morning. Announcement screen just said something about maintenance updates. Joey S364 may be available but my Joeys are linked to the Hopper that didn't update so they're still at 363.
Showed up on 1 Hopper. No big new announcements. No change to the missing blue "S" situation.
But the box is lightning fast again, dvr icons show immediately, no slow response to remote after power on. Hopefully that's fixed. This box didn't have the freezing problem so I don't know if that was...
Got most of it this AM. One Hopper has Joey available SW still at 358. Joeys haven't updated yet.
Visible new features are a different info screen and improved CC. I use CC a lot and it seems to work better. Transparent background now seems to work without jumbling lines like it used to and...
I got these last night and didn't notice until I saw the HWS update thread. There was no startup screen announcement and I don't see any changes. This is probably a bug fix.
Sounds like a Carnac The Magnificent bit.
Really, last night the game ended about 9 minutes late. I recorded the 11 o'clock news as usual to be able to see the end of the Mentalist. Normally all of the shows are skewed and autohop is disabled, but last night 60 Minutes and The Good Wife all...
This evening I tried to add a few recordings on my H2K. When I hit a conflict trying to record a show that was repeated I got a popup that said "This recording will be skipped due to conflicts but will air again on XXXXXXXX" and gave me the option to record it then, resolve, or cancel. I don't...
I've got all 62 episodes of Breaking Bad on my EHD. Problem is that some episodes are not named and others, especially recent ones are numbered out of sequence. Last night's finale was recorded as episode 52 for example. It would be nice to be able to edit this information and make the folder...
Since I have a new roof I'll probably never go back to D* because of roof mount requirements so I've got some stuff for sale:
1 ea SL3 3LNB dish and LNB for 99, 101 and 103 sats
1 ea Zinwell SWM8 Multiswitch and PI
1 ea Zinwell WB68 Multiswitch
1 ea SWS8WB 8 way splitter
1 ea SWM 4 way splitter...
I can't stand it. In Aug 2006 I bought a Sony 60" SXRD TV. It was the second year of their 1080P set production. I got it at a big discount for 3K.
Anyhow lots of people had troubles with the sets because of the technology. Three ICs with a 1920X1080 array of leds which were scanned, activated...
