I recently purchased an Onkyo HT-RC430 to replace my old RCA system. I love the system, but I didn't read the fine print when I purchased it. It uses a powered subwoofer, and my old system had a passive sub. I was dismayed to learn that even the cheapest powered subs cost almost as much as...

Last year I got a new Aquos 55 inch HDTV to replace my old set. At the time I didn't have room to reconnect my RCA RT2360 surround amplifier. This year I got a new media cabinet, and I decided to reconnect my surround system. I was dismayed that the TOSLink output on the TV only outputs Pro...

Does anyone know (or care to make a guess) as to whether Dish will ever offer sub-channels for customer's locals? The reason I ask is that we recently got one CW sub channel through Dish. I am too far away from my local providers to get any OTA reception, and I still don't get any MyTV...

I have a Dish 722k receiver and a 222k receiver. Everything works fine on the 722k, but the 222k keeps giving me an error message saying Complete Signal Loss every time I change channels. If I hit the cancel button, the channel comes up and plays fine. I've checked all the cabling, and when I...

I just got my new Roku a couple days ago, and so far I really like it. The Amazon streaming rocks. I've tried a couple others like Crackle and Popcorn Flix, and they are pretty good too. I'm a little disappointed, though, that regular Hulu isn't available. Does anyone have any...

I was just at the Luken website, and they have a bunch of new channels listed: My Family Tv, Frost Great Outdoors, Jewelery TV, The Nashville Network (I thought this became Spike a few years ago), and Car TV. I wonder if they will bring any of these to their mux on 83W? KU needs a shot in the...

We recently had about a foot of wet snow, and my Dish 1000 kinda acted like a birdbath collecting snow. On my old Dish 500 the snow just slid right off because of low angle, but the 1000 is pointed at such an angle that it collects everything that hits it. I tried the usual tricks like PAM and...

I used to have a Dish 500 system with 322 receivers, and the SD quality was fairly good on 110/119. I now have a 722 and 222, with the HD package at 61.5/72/77, and the SD channel quality seems to be less than what I previously had. Is this just my imagination, or is there really a difference?

Are there any legal free or ad supported movie services other than Hulu, Snag Films, Crackle, and Popcorn Flix? I'm hesitant to list Popcorn Flix since I've never actually got it to stream a movie.

Hey guys, I just got a new Kindle Fire, but I'm having trouble downloading and installing the satelliteguys app because I can't install the appbrain app. Can someone post the satteliteguys apk file so I can grab it and install it manually?

I really like most of the features on my 722 DVR, but I have a question about the FWD/Back speed. When pressing the FWD button it goes at 4X minimum. This makes it difficult to skip through commercials and stop where the program picks up. Is there a way to move forward at a slower speed?

Is there any way to have a DVR recording default to Once rather than New Programs? Most of the time I don't want to record multiple episodes. Its no big deal, but I was just wondering.

I recorded Hell on Wheels last night on AMC, and when I started the playback today it said that it recorded 1hour and 4 minutes. 5 minutes into playback the DVR said playback done and went back to the main screen. I tried it several times, and always the same thing. Any ideas?

I just got my new Aquos TV and I don't know if I'm happy or disappointed. Sometimes I think this picture is great, but it's so different from my other LCD TV that sometimes I get motion sickness watching it. Does anyone else have any experience with these TVs?

If upgrading to HD was going to be this much trouble, I'd stay with SD. First I had a signal problem that I had to fix myself, now my UHF remote won't work right at night. It works fine during the day, but at night its hit or miss. Does anyone know of a reason this might happen. I don't...

I'm pretty sure that I have a bad LNB on my 61.5/72/77 dish. When the installer set up my system they left the 110/119 dish in place. Will I still receive all of my old channels if I switch the cable back to the other dish, or will it not work at all?

The guys came out today and upgraded my Dish service to HD. I got a 722 receiver and a 222 receiver. They pointed at 61.5, 72, and 77 and none of my 72W channels come in clearly. I checked the receivers, and both are getting more signal on 72 than on the other two, but I get very...

I have a dish network service at one address, and I want to add a second account for a different address in another part of the state. Dish tells me that I have to take my locals from another market at this second address even though its only two miles out of my original market. I told them...

I have a Dish 322 receiver that has been giving me some audio problems lately. I've noticed it beginning to drop the audio for several seconds on some channels. The video continues fine, so I don't think its a signal issue. Does anyone have any advice, or some things I could check to see what...

While there are a good many FTA channels available on C-band, it seem like KU's offerings get smaller and smaller all the time. A few years ago when I got started in FTA there was a good number of entertainment channels available on KU; especially 123W. Now we're down to basically the History...

Are there any American made FTA receivers out there?

Does anyone know of a source to buy open wire ladderline for a reasonable price?

I just installed a new Winegard HD 7084P antenna outside on top of a shed that is about 50 feet from my house. In order to avoid running new cables I was wondering if I could combine the signal with my Dish Network cable and split it inside the house? The antenna would have a powered preamp...

I live in a hole (signal wise). So far I have been able to get a local CBS station and a local PBS affiliate fairly reliably. The one channel I would like to get that still eludes me is WCYB-TV. It is broadcast on channel 5 vhf. I've worked all possible scenarios at TV Fool, and the best...

I love my Coolsat 8000, but something has troubled me ever since I had it. When you click on the Favorites button it lists Echo Pack and Bell in addition to all the satellites. When I got it I thought this was part of some hacker firmware, but I flashed it and replaced it with Ice's firmware...
