    De La Hoya vs Pacquiao

    I bought in..... and paid $10 extra for the HD - That is high definition robbery!! But I bought it and hopefully my guests will all chip in!! It could be one heck of a fight. We will see. De La Hoya hasn't produced a good fight in a long time.

    OTA HD signal problems (WRTV Indianapolis)

    Hello havoc72, I live in Lafayette and get a stronger signal than you do. My guess is that you need to reposition your antenna or bite the bullet and mount it outside. I can get a signal of 90+ on most signals from Indianapolis. I hope this helps solve the mystery.

    Shopping for receiver

    I just bought this receiver a few weeks ago. I moved up from an earlier Onkyo model and couldn't be happier. You will be very pleased with the auto setup by Audessy. Once you set the levels with the supplied mic, you can tweak things from there. Although I must say that it did a pretty good...

    Onkyo 605 question

    You may have hit one of the buttons that allows you to control other devices. Be sure you have pressed the receiver button (not the tv/vcr/or dvd).

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Up And Running - All Looks Well Update: VISIONSAT IV 200 PVR I've got the motor running/working and can scan most all the FTA channels listed. I think I will tweak the setting on 123w Galayx 10r or 87w AMC3 as they seem to have the most useful programming. I believe that with a slight...

    WOW!! Insight must have added 60 HD channels since I left...

    The will be COMCAST after DEC 31. Yes, they offer very little HD but what they do have looked great at the time I suscribed. They have the biggest selection too (Compared to other local cable companies of which there are none.)

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    So far, I like it quite a bit. I'll really get to play with the features once I get the motor up and running. FED EX has the motor now so I should be installing it on Friday. I've all ready recorded some programming, moved it to my MAC, converted it to a .vid file and, success, I've got the...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Thanks for all the well wishes and advice. I'm now up and running AND I have a LACIE 300GB hard drive (Formatted FAT32) up and running as my FTA PVR. When the motor arrives, I am confident that I can find Galaxy26 from my start position and then scan/tweak for the next. I will update on this...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Thank you for all the input and support. I'm up and running AND managed to get the receiver to read my thumb drive. I thought I had updated the firmware but did not. If you hit OK and not the RED button when you choose which firmware to update, it doesn't actually update. Also, I had to...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    I had the transponder input. The problem was my compass. Once I used the one supplied with the install kit, I found the satellite within 10 minutes. 97 W. It scaneed in 100+ channels and loads of radio stations as well. Now I know exactly what Satellite I will scan for when my motor...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    Thanks for the info/support guys. I have taken a breather and am back at it. I just noticed that the readings on the compass I have been using and the one I just discovered in the set-up kit are different. Perhaps my aim has been off. I'd been using a magnetic compass an the one that came...

    Not so wonderful world of FTA

    I've installed a positioned dishes for Voom, Direct, and Dish, and have never been as frustrated as I am with FTA. I simply want to find one satellite with FTA channels to learn more about my receiver before a replacement motor arrives. I've worked on getting a signal for several hours - I got...

    Sound System for a Bedroom/Guest Room

    I bought this: http://www.sharpusa.com/products/ModelLanding/0,1058,1739,00.html And have been very happy with it. The sound is far superior to the TV's speakers and the simulated surround is decent. The best feature is the ability to turn effect settings on and off to find the best mode...

    Who here just uses OTA?

    Not quite yet but, I'm thinking about dropping DISH and going to my OTA only for a while. I would miss much of the programming but would be saving $$$$ all the same. I get all the major networks via OTA and they come in beautifully. With all the HD about to come busting out of DISH and...

    Upgrading to HD, check my pricing quote -LONG-

    Does your TV have a tuner built in? If so, an antenna would be your only cost to get locals. If your TV does not have a tuner or if it has a bad tuner, buy an OTA HD receiver and and Antenna. One time cost - locals forever.

    Joost Invites?

    Does anyone out there have a Joost Invite? I'd love one. If you don't know what Joost is, check it out at www.joost.com. It is a new way of watching TV over the internet and should be out soon. I spotted this today in an article about Apple TV. Joost will run on Windows and on OSX.
