    Need Help with Rotator Control Box

    The two yellow pieces are what stops the clear plastic piece from turning by causing friction. Should be able to create new ones on a 3D printer if you know anyone with a 3D printer. If not a piece of scrap plastic, a dremel tool and files to create a replacement. Teflon would be too...

(you push the dial down when you want to turn the knob) If these are too slippery the dial will not stay in place. Also the spring pushing the dial upwards may not be stiff enough and has...

    Five Star 200 Mile Multi-Directional 4V HD TV Antenna Review

    In the video of your tests, is the coax connected correctly to the antenna? When looking at your video at the 4 min 25 second, it appears (hard to tell from the video) you might only have one of the panels connected. In the video at 8 min 45 seconds both panels are connected to the joiner.

    multi fiber optic input

    Toshlink was great for eliminating hum caused by ground issues. I'm sure all the older stereo people remember the dreaded hum. COAX to toshlink and Toshlink to coax converters were very simplistic and easy for manufacturers to include in their equipment. (or for people with electronics knowledge...

    Blue Screen on JVC TV

    My Sanyo tube HDTV would have problems when I moved it as the input board would come dislodged inside it and have to be pushed back in place. Hopefully yours is something just as simple.

    #1 digitnet MeTV starting saturday morning cartoons back up in 2021

    When I was younger I had a 2.2" colour tv from RadioShack, and also a 12" b/w TV. The 12" got a lot of use, but the 2.2" was fun to play around with. Nowadays, I still have a 14" colour TV in my bedroom and a large LCD in the living room. That 14" still gets a lot of use watching the old TV...

    Alphastar satellite dishes after termination

    I remember adding a second dish and using my DSR-921 (StarChoice reciever, $999 CAN) to view AMC.

The recordings I still have, the receiver went...
