    When is FIOS REALLY fixing their QAM problem stopping more HD Channels?

    We were told in JUNE'10 that Fios was out of QAM space and that it would be fixed 'in a few months'. For recollection, this was the excuse FIOS used as to why they had no HD Channel room, and they were removing west-coast versions of movie channels, etc to make room for a few new HD while they...

    Sony STR-DN1000 HDMI Alert

    After countless hours debugging this (you can read many user reviews on amazon.com), we have all come to the conclusion that this model DOES NOT WORK RIGHT WITH ANY HDMI SPLITTERS in place. We have tried 4 splitters, nothing even plugged into port B, bus as soon as you plug in a splitter, the...

    Tivo again...Tivo receives a 'Season Pass' patent - Uh Huh

    From ZatzNotFunny... The US patent office must have unpaused their hard drives because, hot on the heels of winning a patent related to closed captions on a DVR, TiVo has been awarded another patent at the heart of the DVR experience. With the application having been originally filed in...

    Device to move and combine 2 5mhz-1ghz signals??

    Hi I want to be able to put antenna and cable on one rg-6 wire. The device would move the band (like the old directtv box called a 'signal stacker') Band 1 in the normal range add 1ghz to band 2 so it would be in 1.05-2ghz Obviously not cheap, but definitely doable. Anyone know...

    RTN is now in BOSTON!

    WMFP (Analog 62, digital 18) (Formerly Shop-at-home), is now RTN! Their Station ID says RTX 18.1, but it is RTN What is cool is it is NOT the same schedule as WJARDT2 (10.2 from Providence). About 75% is the same, but other shows are different. I thought RTN was only doing a national...

    Left DISH and LOVE IT!!!!!

    I switched from Dish to Comcast to FiOS. I love my FiOS. With my permanent $60/mo discount due to missed installs, and my 'all movie package' discount from $30/mo to $10/mo FOREVER, FiOS is a perfect service for me and my 2 TivoHD units. I did spring for a FiOS stb so I can do VOD, since...

    Just switched to Fios

    Got tired of Comcast saying they never rcvd my 24 month agreement, so I called them on it and told them I was cancelling if they don't have it. They 'said' they never got it because they would then have to send me a $100 rebate check, which also has turned into a $100 gift card, not what was...

    I bought a commercial xm/sirius antenna for my house

    What a difference it makes! Since it is stationary, it's direction span is alot lower, like 120 degrees instead if 170, so you do have to point it more selectively. Took me about 10 minutes to do it and get all bars on both rcvrs. The advantage is that it is more selective, so the signal it...

    HDMI over Cat5e/Cat6

    I just got 3 sets of these from Brando, the Cat 5E version. They also make a Cat6 version. These are really inexpensive, the video is perfect, but I cannot get them to pass anything multichannel through them. Stereo PCM 48k does, but any multichannel sound dolby digital, etc does not. I...
