    RCA AV to coax?

    I think a long time ago I had some type of adapter for a old Nintendo game that only had the yellow red white RCA but adapted to coax for a old tv. What do they call the adapter and where might I find one cheap?

    RCA AV to coax?

    It is not the composite video just regular yellow video out. What about those little so called $3 adaptors they sell on ebay that supposed to go from female rca to male coax? Again all I need is video no sound.

    RCA AV to coax?

    Probably not the right forum but oh well. I have a portable video devise with RCA video out I want to hook to a old small black and white tv that only had the 2 screws for antenna and one of those adapters that make it go to a male coax end. I have about 100 of those 3 wire video RCA video cords...

    Sports Blackout Craziness

    And it is Bull $hit. I bought NHL Center Ice this season, and now that playoffs are here I am afraid I will miss some of the games because NBC Sports net is only allowing 2-1/2 hours for the first game, so any long game or OT game will cut into the 2nd game which is the one I want to watch. This...

    Fox Minneapolis St. Paul ?

    On my old receivers when you locked a channel it did not remove it from the guide, it would just say this channel is locked if you tried to go to it. So I now see there is a option to either show or hide locked channels. Anyway I still don't know how that channel got locked? Could I have been...

    For HD programming which is better 129° or 61.5°

    Well I'm only 2 hours drive northwest of Twin citys and very seldom lose signal on 129 with a 18" dish because of rain. If it's raining hard enough to lose it with a dish 500 then I will also lose 129. Back in the day I used a old Primestar 1.0 meter dish at 119 with a modified lnb and would...

    For HD programming which is better 129° or 61.5°

    You think you get a better HD picture with a 1000.2 dish than with a dish 500 with DPP lnb and a second dish 300 with a DP single lnb?? Why would the picture be better? The only reason Dish installs the single dish solution is because the laws that were passed by the fcc. requiring a single dish...

    For HD programming which is better 129° or 61.5°

    129 it is. I seem to get a stronger signal this way than others by me with the single 1000 dish. I wonder why more people don't use a dish 500 and a 18" dish 300 pointed at 129?

    For HD programming which is better 129° or 61.5°

    Because of tree's I can't use a single dish I have a dish 500 with a DP+ lnb and a 18" dish with a DP single lnb does it matter if I point at 129 or is 61.5 better? I'm in NW Wisconsin.

    Single receiver HD dish setup Question?

    I'm not sure the sat meter will work with the power inserter so I have a old small portable b/w tv I bought at a garage sale for $5. and a test cable 75' of coax cable made up and a 100' extension cord so its easy to put the small tv right next to the dish when aiming. From what I read mast...

    hd sunday ticket question / watching in sd

    Free, ya right, when you have to take a day off work to wait for them, they may be there some time between 8:00 am and noon, then usually show up about 2:30 pm or a total no show.

    Single receiver HD dish setup Question?

    So with a power inserter will a regular old sat finder (Squawk box) still work to locate 101 or is it best to use the on tv signal strength from the installation screen. Yes I am setting up something for camping. I just went to HD a few weeks ago and I found the power inserter behind the main...

    Single receiver HD dish setup Question?

    After further reading I see I might need to go from the Dish to a power inserter then to the receiver. Is that correct? The SWM lnb needs a power inserter and can not run straight from the receiver?

    Single receiver HD dish setup Question?

    What satellite? Will this work?

    I just don't understand why you need to receive signals from multiple satellites in order to get one stinking channel? If you can find out what satellite the game is being broadcast off of, why can't you just point a single lnb at that satellite and be done?

    What satellite? Will this work?

    So with the new Direct TV HD receivers the old dishes are totally obsolete? All I'm looking for is one station one game. So I guess my basic question is what is the bare minimum dish I need to get the game? I don't care about any other programming just the game.

    What satellite? Will this work?

    I have a slightly newer Direct tv dish I could use with the 3 lens lnb, would that dish work? It is the first dish they came out with after the old single lnb 18" dish?
