I have an analog receiver that I have not turned on for a couple of years. Is there still anything up there on KU worth turning it on for? I am not asking for any wild feeds, just want to know if I should take it off of my AV shelf, or if it still has some life left in it.

I have a 622 that is connected to several TVs in the house. I want to add a second receiver, probably a 211. I haven't checked the extra receiver fees in quite a while. How much will the monthly fee be for the extra receiver? If I purchase the extra receiver instead of lease, does it make a...

Someone gave my mother-in-law a Traxis DBS3500. I went to WSI in Atlanta and got a dual input LNB so she can watch Thai stations in one room while my father-in-law watches in another. She only got the receiver with no remote control. Do any of the cheap universal remotes support this receiver?

I have a ChannelMaster 9521A rotator. When I installed it several years ago, I installed a bearing above it to keep pressure off of the bearings in the 9521A. I tried to rotate it after a couple of years, but the upper bearing is rusted, and has one area that it will not rotate through. I...

I have a DPP44 and a 622. There is one cable that connects to a splitter before the 622. I started having issues with signal level over the weekend and thought it was because of weather. However even after the weather cleared, I still have issues. My locals will not tune at all, I believe...

I have an old USB Starbox that is not supported with Vista. I have an old XP laptop that is too slow to display HD feeds. Does anyone know if I can use VLC to stream the sat signal to my desktop and use software on the Vista desktop to watch the HD.(Mostly on Saturdays) EDIT: I should have...

Has anyone had the fan go bad on a 622? Mine is still working, but every so often the fan bearings sound like a bicycle with playing cards in the spokes. The sound goes away after about a minute, but it makes me think that the receiver might fail sometime soon. The maximum temperature is...

I am going to start watching Heroes season 3. I have a Netflix account, so I can watch the entire season up to this point with that account(not free). However I was searching for other ways to watch it and I noticed: On the NBC website you can watch episodes 13-17 for free. On Hulu, you...

I have a somewhat complicated setup to get a broadband connection to my 622. I have a wireless router connected to DSL, and I have a wireless router in bridge mode connected to the 622. It has worked for over a year that way. However about two weeks ago, it stopped working. I connected my...

I have a movie pass at my local Blockbuter. I usually rent new movies on Blu-ray, and try to rent any old movies I can on BD when available. They usually have 5-10 BDs available for new movies vs. hundreds of DVDs. They usually only have 1 BD available for older movies, only one aisle total...

I turned on the Thursday night game tonight on NFL HD(Dish Network) and the quality is really bad. The video is bright, and has far to many motion artifacts. Is this typical for NFL HD, is it just NFL HD on Dish, or is this an anomoly?

At this point if Georgia Tech loses every remaining game, and does not receive a bowl bit, the team will still have done much better than they were expected to. If UGA wins every game, and goes to a BCS bowl, they will still have done much less than they were expected to. Great year to be...

Did anyone watch college football on ESPN360 last night? I have watched some replays on 360 before and it looked acceptable. However last night I tried to watch the Jax State - Ga Tech game. The video would only play for a few seconds and then have to buffer. I checked my download speed...

In my bill, I was charged for two interactive tv subsciptions. I paid my bill with an automated checking account payment for my normal amount. I logged in to my Dish account and noticed a past due amount I called to cancel them. I will end up paying about $25 dollars for those being added...

I have an Extreme II LNB that the LO seems to be off by about 5. If I scan in with the default satellites and frequencies in the Mercury II, it gets confused. It will miss some channels. For a long time, I had deleted all of the satellites and manually added those that I wanted to watch. I...

I have a Mit WS55313 rptv purchased a few years ago. I have connected several HDMI devices to it with an HDMI-DVI cable. It works, and the picture looks good with the exception that the picture is off-center to the left. There is no option under any menu to re-size or adjust the picture...

I got the Holiday bundle at Walmart. It included five games: Resistance Fall of Man Call of Duty 3 NBA 2k7 Mobile Gundam Friday Night Round(or whatever) My tv is 1080i only. Will not accept 720p. NBA 2k7 is 1080i. I have read that it is not as good graphically as NBA live, but...

I ordered one of the PS3 "packages" from Walmart. It arrived today in two large boxes. I openned up the boxes and have two PS3s. I checked my Walmart account and my credit card account and was only charged for one. I'm gonna do the right thing and return the mistaken one, but I am waiting on...

I am watching the Dallas/Atlanta game. The video is in HD. It looks clear, but the angles and graphics look horrible. The picture is cloudy in a dome game and I don't understand why. The commentators are by far the worst I have heard in an NFL game. This is the first game I have watched...

I don't know if it really is available, but it shows that it is: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?dest=9999999997&product_id=5303671&sourceid=12085374550254031758

I have been looking at the consumer HD camcorders available. I want to record high school football next year. The two consumer models that seem to be best from what I have seen are the Sony HDR-SR1 and the Canon HV10. These both have limitations: Sony - 1440x1080i instead of 1920, uses...

I am out of town so I am not sure which DVD it was last week(I think it was a Sony), but one last week and Monster House this week (A Sony release) will not play in my nice upconverting DVD player. My wife told me that she pulled out a cheap $30 player to connect composite to my bigscreen to...

I don't see it now. Just wondering if something messed up on my system or if it is not there.

I just got an analog receiver. My universal LNB throws the channel numbers off, but I am going to take care of that. On AMC2, I can see one of the DVB TPs on my digital receiver.(No channel just signal) To get the analog channels to come in on the analog receiver, I have to bump the dish...
