Epilogue: Receiver came yesterday and fixed the last problem with the upstairs TV, so everything is working hunky dory using existing cable wiring and appropriate multi switches and splitters. Thanks to mental1, jtwex and skyviewmark for all advice contributed.

thanks mental1 Well the Association already pretty much sent out a letter saying that we would have to pay $150 per drop. The condos I live in were built with what appears to be a rather loose regard to specifications, so measurements vary quite a bit from the blueprints and walls from floor...

I appreciate your help and advice. I looked behind the plate of the outlet that would be used by my first floor TV and it seems to bear out what you have said -- there is an old splitter behind the wall plate which, I would assume, is sending a second wire up to the cable outlet on the next...

Thanks for the reply! How hard is it usually to find the old splitters that would need to be replaced? In my case, for instance, would I expect to find a splitter behind each of the first floor cable jack outlets? Will a HD H20-600 (2nd floor) and a HD-DVR H20-100 (first floor) work with the SWM?

Please pardon my ignorance. I have been reading through a few threads, and the impression I am getting is that previously installed cable tv wiring can be used to convey DirecTV signals as long as the cable wires aren't divided up with "splitters". I ventured into the crawl space under my...

Just to try to make sure no irritation goes unlisted -- I am not only annoyed that the NBA broadband is usually useless, but also annoyed at the the random nature of the channel 750 Stats. Any time an NBA game is being televised, that channel should be functional but it is really hit or miss...

You just got done saying that the data could be recorded to a DVD, and now you have suddenly changed your mind? What happened in the mean time?

I just googled it -- as best as I can tell KCAL was purchased by CBS but somehow remains an "independent"...

Last Friday in Los Angeles there was only one way to watch the Lakers play the Celtics -- KCAL Channel 9. There was only one huge catch: the eastern games start too early for KCAL's taste (4 to 4:30 PM) and so they time delay their broadast by an hour... No problem, says I: I'll just skip...

Diat, the cool thing about your original post was that it managed to raise all sorts of red flags (veracity warning flags) without divulging anything that was so defiitively damning that you couldn't just back yourself out of trouble with a few more explanations. Both your predicament and the...

Since Verizon FIOS is neither cable or satellite, does that mean it wasn't scored?

Verizon secrecy ain't so great I'm at a point where I would like to dump D* and go to FIOS TV. I'm in Pacific Palisades, California, however, and I can't get any reliable information from any Verizon representative as far as how long it will take before there is a FIOS TV option in my area. I...

Scott, thanks for your post. I have been waiting for some kind of definitive statement like this to figure out which way to go as far as HD is concerned (MPEG4, DISH, etc.). I don't have an OTA option at my house, so from what you are saying, my only chance will be that the Verizon FIOS that...

FIOS web page I don't know how old and outdated this web page might be, but it shows where FIOS Intenet access is and will be installed in Southern california. (Does the internet access require the same cabling that FIOS TV will use?): www fioslive com/los-angeles-county htm (replace spaces...

D* Freebies Double thanks!! I Just noticed the free Starz listed for this weekend in your example email!!

Any email notification system for these freebies? The only way I know about these deals is by checking the front page of this forum every day (usually I head straight for the HD section). So I'm always missing my opportunities! Does D* (or SatelliteGuysfor that matter) have any kind of...

This is probably an easy one for you guys but I am clueless. Here in LA if I switch from an SD station to its equivalent HD station, and the HD station is not broadcasting in HD, then the picture looks pretty much the same to me (which seems logical). However, the ABCW picture (again being...
