    HR10-250 Dual Audio Output / Headphones

    I have the HR10-250. Does anyone know if all the audio outputs are active simultaneously? I am not using HDMI. I want the digital audio output to go into an amp and the analog audio outputs to feed a pair of headphones simultaneously. Long story if you are interested: the audio amplifier...

    Buying Used Equipment okay?

    I have a chance to pick up a used Zenith HD-SAT520 DIRECTV HDTV Receiver. (I am interested in this because although I have two DirecTV HD receivers on two LCDs, my home theatre projector is currently for DVDs only.) For the big game and other events, it would be nice to have an HD receiver...

    Watching TV with Windows Media Player

    I have the a/v outputs of my DirecTV receiver going into a Pinnacle MovieBox, which then goes into my PC via 1394 (Firewire). Using this, I can capture home movies or TV shows and edit & make movies. BUT....the "capture" (preview) window in Pinnacle Software is ~300 x 300 pixels. Does...

    Audio Missing on Boston OTA?

    My HD signal for CBS in Boston (Channel 4) has no audio. My setup is a DirecTV HD Dish & Receiver plus I have an OTA antenna. I receive ABC, Fox, PBS, NBC, etc stations just fine. The picture on CBS is razor sharp, but the audio is missing. Signal strength is 80%+. I believe the major...

    What to do with old gear?

    Has anyone had success unloading / selling their old D* receivers? Once you upgrade to HD, you have several doorstops. I see them on eBay, but are they selling? How much? Enough to make shipping worth it? Seems like a waste to just pitch it.

    TV on Your PC / WMP

    I have a Pinnacle Movie box connected to my PC via Firewire/1394. The Pinnacle Movie Box allows one to connect an a/v source like an analog camcorder or...the output of your cable box. Using this I can capture TV shows and watch them as AVI files after the fact. But I can't figure out how...

    On the RCA DTC210 receiver, in the OTA menu, the "Fine Tune Channel" is always grayed out. Has anyone used this feature?

    Radio Shack vs. AntennasDirect?

    I am considering the AntennasDirect SR-15 ($40) and the RadioShack U-75R ($25). The SR-15 certainly looks better made, but I can't get the actual specs on the RadioShack to compare. I am only 6 miles from most stations. Using an old RadioShack butterfly thingy I easily get all but 2 local...
