    optical output &hdmi

    I would love to have single runs however, I have an "older" Yamaha RX-V657 A/V without HDMI inputs. I run all of my HDMI outputs to an HDMI switcher to a single input on the TV. I then run all optical/coax outputs to my receiver. That does mean I have to change the source twice when I change...

    Returning to DTV?

    Hey Thanks everyone. At least I can still use the AM-21. I will be going for the genie client for my office that will be nice. I know how it works when trying to get the newest gear from the installers. Thanks again. Good to be back!

    Returning to DTV?

    I've been in the cable morass for the past 4 years, I finally have the opportunity to return to DTV. That being said I have a little catching up to do on the hardware end. My last gear consisted of an HR-21/100 an AM-21, utilizing a AU-9 Slimline dish. I was also pretty active in the CE...

    NASCAR 2013 season

    Actually if you look at the video again, you'll see stewarts car barely had all four tires across the white line with about 15-20 feet before he'd get near the grass. Unfortunately it's an educated guess on barrier placement. Until something happens, the tracks don't know if they're right or...

    NASCAR 2013 season

    Why will they be coming for him? Was Joey supposed to let Stewart go because it's Stewart? (Excuse me Mr. Stewart, I'll get out of your way so you can go for the win). I thought the idea was to finish ahead of everyone else, especially with as few laps as there was. (this isn't F1 where...

    NFL 2012-13 Season

    Here's another view once Jennings is on the ground Looks to me Tate was tackling him at that point, Not trying to wrestle the ball away. Tates arm is around his neck No hand on the ball.

    NFL 2012-13 Season

    I wasn't expecting a reversal. That would have set a terrible precedent, correct but terrible. At least an acknowledgement that a mistake was made on that call. The hogwash about saying the correct call would have been OPI and game over is just noise to make noise.

    NFL 2012-13 Season

    The POINT is DPI WAS called!!! You asked for a replay of the call that WAS made. I gave it to you. The replay shows what was called. NOT what you think should have been called. Your argument is glossing over the the real issue from last night. Dual possession?? Bad call. Horrendous call...

    Indy Car driver Dan Weldon dies after crash

    Jimbo, I'm not an engineer but my understanding is the car seems to disintegrate in order to dissipate the energy of the impact through the entire vehicle instead of concentrating the impact. In the early years of NASCAR and Indy cars it was assumed that a solid or rigid car was safer, Later...

    Nascar 2011 Season

    I understand the comment, my wife feels the same way. I don't. That race was certainly more entertaining than this weeks race at Daytona is going to be. The current incarnation of plate racing is even worse than the last incarnation of "pack" racing. Road racing has been a part of NASCAR...

    Jerry Jones and the NFL screw over 400 SB goers...!!

    Not only couldn't the construction workers get there, apparently the building inspector and fire marshal couldn't either. EPIC FAIL This just confirmed the rumor, Jerry's world really is a circus tent.

    The Road to Super Bowl XLV: The 2010-11 NFL Playoffs

    All I heard in the buildup to this game was whoever wins the turnover battle wins the game. That's the way the game works..ANY NFL game, preseason or Super Bow!! It's always nice to have the Lombardi Trophy back home. Return to Titletown!

    NASCAR 2010 Season

    I didn't really see too much wrong with the bump drafting as it was happening. It appeared on the replay that maybe the 2 car "may" have drifted a bit to the right and that may have started the whole thing. I'm not layng blame, it's just what i thought I saw. Regarding Sadler, it is a...

    Shoot me strait.....whats my chances??

    I get your point but, I also have an HR22 and it's fine. Much better than the 21 that it replaced when the HD died. Having said that It's like comparing my Mercury Grand Marquis against a Lincoln Town Car. Would I like a Town Car? Sure but, right now I can't afford it. I'm happy with my car...

    OTA channels with D*

    Some of us have HD displays that do not have ATSC tuners in them. That's the one option that my primary (Mits 48413) display doesn't give me. I haven't bothered adding a Set top digital tuner to the set up. So the AM21 is a great addition.

    OTA channels with D*

    HR22 and an AM21. I receive every single OTA channel that's available in my area. Which means every sub channel each broadcaster offers. in one case 8 sub channels plus the parent channel. ALL with guide data. It's never been an issue.

    Thinking about going to DirecTV

    Honestly, You will get what the installer has on the truck as far as DVR's. The CSR's cannot guarantee what unit you will get. Some area's are installing only HR24's for new customers. As far at the dish, don't worry about that. You'll get the slimline. I'm not an expert on this but I...

    Receiver Internet Connection

    I really didn't have time this morning to look it up, thanks for that. Ethernet switch is the way to go in that case. Simple and elegant.

    Thinking about going to DirecTV

    Welcome to the board! I've been a D* sub since 1997 with a serious case of upgraditis over that period of time. I can honestly tell you that I have not had a "bad" experience with them. I'm not a "fanboy" just my honest opinion. Over that time I've had a couple STB's fail, LNB's fill up...

    Receiver Internet Connection

    Why not just install a 4 port router on the modem? Run the single Ethernet to the router and run lines to the PC and the DVR. I have a few more items running in my set up than you're looking at doing but , 4 STB's, 3 Xboxes 1 hard wired PC and a wireless router without an issue.

    No support arms again!

    I have no doubt that your installations don't leak, my issue is with the statement that it will NOT leak. That's all. If properly installed, they "shouldn't" leak. In my business, the words, never, no leaks, won't leak, etc are not used. The one thing I wholeheartedly agree with. NO SILICONE...
