    cinema wireless connection kit

    I have had the wireless cinema kit for almost a year attached to a HR24-100 and it was working perfectly. Recently had problems with my router (Brighthouse) - it was really slow at the desktop and really, really slow in the living room (about 20' from the router). Called Brighthouse and the...

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    Thanks a lot - of course it is a computer. At 82 (going on 83 shortly)- sometimes the brain doesn't function on all cylinders - think I am lucky it funtions at all.

    HR2x / HR34 External Hard Drive FYI/Support (eSATA)

    Just installed a Cavalry 750gb external hard drive to one of my Hr20s - it was a simple as indicated by everyone - took all of 5 minutes. However, I do have a question. The on/off switch light flickers. According to the instruction booklet, it is supposed to do that when connected to a...

    An Update

    498 is on in Central Florida. Two new test channels have shown up on my TV - had channels 490-494 before for previous satellites. Now getting 496 & 497 with "searching for sattelite" showing - looks like they are for 103(a)&(b).

    It's baaack!!!!

    I had left my name at the web site to be advised if and when the 616 had been approved by Directv. Got a call yesterday that it had been approved (check the Internet site) and was told that it was available for shipment - told them to ship it!!

    multiswitch for AT9?

    Can someone tell me how to cascade two WB68 multiswitches? Really wanted the new WB616 but it looks like Directv is not going to approve it. Probably want you to purchase a Spaun model at probably 2 to 3 times the price which we can't afford on retired pay. Saw some post that all you need to...

    Spaun AT9 compatible multiswitches, Data Sheets

    AntAltMike: I considered using 2 Zinwell 6x8 multiswitches. Thought all I had to do was connect 4 outputs from the first multiswitch into the second multiswith, giving me 12 connections which is all I need. Do I need some other equipment other than the 2nd multiswitch? Thanks. Howard Knox

    Winegard SS2000

    Just installed the above antenna today (Winter Haven, Fl - stations are located in Tampa/St. Pete - about 40 miles from me). Reception appears to be excellent with the exception of the Fox station w0% on the indicator - rest of the stations register 90% or above. Amazingly, 3 of the stations...

    Spaun AT9 compatible multiswitches, Data Sheets

    Directv Multiswitches Had previously queried Zinwell about their 6x16 multiswitch. Had read either here or another forum that the 6x8 Zinwell was approved by Directv but not the 6x16. At that time, Zinwell said that it wouldn't be ready until some time in mid-July and cost would be $190...

    10 outputs on At-9

    I sent an email to Zinwell yesterday and received an answer this morning. The WB616 will cost $189 plus shipping & handling and will be available July 20, 2006. Personally, I was hoping for a 6x10 or 6x12 - really don't need 16 outputs so will wait to see if Spaun comes out with the smaller one.
