Here is an old school question.My 2009 Vizio has the RCA out to my aging Sony STE-DE197 receiver which powers a pair of Sony SS7000.I'm completely satisfied with my set up but I know my Vizio isn't going to last forever.What I want to ask is if for any reason I have to upgrade and have to get a...

I was excited back in December 2009 when my neighborhood was full of AT&T contractors and they were laying fiber optic.I asked them what was going on and they said U Verse was coming to our hood.They even put a connector in my front yard.With all that trouble they went to the main cable has...

Been away from Dish since 2005.Do they still require a telephone line be hooked up at all times now and if you don't have a line based telephone do they still charge a fee?Dish is much cheaper than cable now and I want to enjoy my new Vizio! TIA :ballchain:

Might be a bit off topic but since the change does anyone know if this great forum has a mobile or PDA link that I can use on an older computer used as a second setup?TIA-overtimeman:confused:

Well it was the week of Christmas when the contractors laid the fiber optic through our nieghborhood and still no U verse yet.I keep calling the at&t office and stopping to ask the at&t van dudes when is it going to be hooked up and turned on and they keep saying just wait it's coming.When...

I would know from those who have U-verse is it like satellte in that you have a receiver box to use on each TV.I am not into anHD/DVR receiver so since the digital channels have gotten such good reviews that would all I would want.I have three TV and I guess the first receiver is included...

Merry Christmas everyone!Any in here use AT&T U-Verse for their service? This is coming to our area in a couple of months.Now our front yards are a muddy mess with them putting down a fiber optic cable.I know it will be better than our present Northland Cable Co.I was wanting just to hear some...

I have a Motorola 4 way amp. splitter with my cable modem and three Tv's hooked into it.A friend who used to work for cable said I should run the cable modem directly from a 2 way splitter instead of through the amp splitter.The amp is bi-directional/passive.What is the deal on this...

Here im my problem.My Sony TV (KD 36FS170) is hooked up to digital cable box.My cable box is hooked to Sony STRDE 197 receiver and playing the Sony SS-F5000 speakers.(SWEET)Got the deal of a life time by waiting for the right deal for new equipment to show up on E Bay.Every channels sounds great...

I thought I read in here one time before where someone plugged their cable to the digital input connection and did a scan and found there were some more channels than they had through the analog cnnection.I know it's for over the air signals but I thought I saw in one of the forums where someone...

I was looking back at some of my old archived posts and saw where stevenl had banned under his name.I hope this is a joke because he was so helpful here in the cable forum.If he did get banned what did he do to deserve that?I'm just curious.overtimeman :eek:

I was wondering if one of those Motorola Amplfied Splitters would make any difference quality wise.No need to ask my cable company for any help all they do is come out and make sure all the connections are tight.DUH,I always check that out myself.I guess analog channels 2-99 will always look...

AT&T have put in new fiber optic cables all down the main highway where I live.I keep seeing these big metal boxes going up here and there with DSL on the side.I keep hoping they would put some down my way.The only reason I stay with cable is the fact it is the only means of BB.I see Verizon and...

While up on E Bay just browsing around a on anything on cable I saw a filter that was supposed to clear up your picture.No I don't believe everything I read more curious than anything.Are these products snake oil? overtimeman :cool:

Are the monster cable splitters really better than the ones the cable companies use?When up on amazon and reading reviews everyone seems to think they see an improvment in picture quality.I think Steve works for a cable company.Anyone had any experience using monster splitters?Thanks,overtimeman :up

I see they are still waiting for dish network to finally give them a dish version of local on the eights from the Weather channel.It will never be as great as what the cable companies offer.When I had dish I never watched all the channels anyway.I still have four more years of warranty left on...

When we first moved to this house 17 years ago was the first taste of cable tv.Where we did live we only could receive 5 channels with an outside antenna.Good thing I did not have to work the next day,cause I stayed up all night checking out those 52 channels.I thought I died and went to heaven...

Here is my setup.I have 3 TVs and a cable modem for internet access.I noticed the cable guy used the old set up I had when I had a dish and had a cable run from my dish unit in our bedroom to my sons room so he could use our dish receiver to watch TV in his room.Outside now he has a three way...

I know this is the best site to get advice and visit here regularly.:up My question is I have a Sony DVD Player/VCR # SLV-D271P that I want to hook up to my Sony 36 inch TV #KD-36FS170.I also have digital cable using the Motorola Box.Is there a way to hook it up so I can still change channels...

My 13 Sony in our bedroom only has RCA and Component hook ups in the back.To utilize the S Video with the Dish box surely there is a s video to component input out there.I have found the 7 pin adapters but not the 4 pin.Would appreciate any info thrown this way! overtimeman :up

While on vacation in Myrtle Beach S.C. I got a chance to sample TWC channels 2-99 analog.Our little cable company Northland Cable has the hands up on the analog picture quality.Did notice that on both companies the PQ does suffer during primetime viewing.I don't how how to explain it except the...

OK I know this is the day and age of HD TV.If I were going back to dish(E) what would be the best sddvr(model#) to go with.Thanks overtimeman

Hope everyone is enjoying their Easter Sunday.I was just wondering how many in the forum ever heard of Northland Cable?I know it's in six states.I have their triple play package of BB-3000/256,dig cable-120 channels,internet phone for only 99$ a month.Had it for two years and only had two down...

When all analog broadcasts end will this mean that all the crappy picture quality on channels 2-99 will be same as the digital channels?Someone told me for cable companies to do that they would have to upgrade all their lines in the service area.Nonsense!If that was the case the higher channels...

Ok my cable company Northland never purchase new boxes but buy Charters retirees.What is the best brand of Digital Cable Box out there far as picture quality and sound.I would like to buy my own and let them program it so nothing illegal goes on and I can run it own their outdated system.Thanks...
