    Ultimate TV reciever

    I am getting ready for a move and came across my old Ultimate TV receiver. I don't want to just toss it. Is it worth anything? If I put it on Craig's list or EBay what should I expect to get for it?

    It's JUST TV...

    How many of you have had your significant other say that to you when you wanted to either upgrade your programming or your equipment? Mine just can't get past the fact that HD won't work on all of our sets and ISN'T going to work on all the sets. I'm getting around this because she wants...

    Update a Tivo through a cell phone?

    I've done a search and I'm either doing it wrong or I get a lot of wrong hits.... I've got a Cingular tethering plan for my laptop, in other words I use my phone for a modem. Is there a way I can update my TIVO through the laptop?:confused:

    Splitting a signal

    I've searched for this and not found just what I'm looking for. I'm putting a TV on my deck. I don't want to put another DVR outside. The DVR in my library is literally going to be only 10 feet or so through a glass door (with another TV). What I want to do is split the signal that comes...

    Providers catching it over HD

    I listened to a lot of radio today and the programing providers are catching unholy hell over not getting HD out the door now. Kim Kommando was giving them grief and one of the other national shows was doing it do. Seems there was a Wall Street Journal article this past Wednesday, saying that...

    Not receiving my own regional sports programing

    I'm not going to go into a lot of detail other than to say last night I couldn't get my own RSN. On one of them it was showing the Panthers and the Pens and the alternate was FSU at Stetson basketball. The later was what I wanted to see. Just so everyone will know I checked with friends in the...

    SD D* Tivo dying?

    Well, I think it's dead, the fan is making a bunch of noise and the light won't come on. Is there anything I can do, as it's got about 30 hours of shows I want.

    Splitter for install?

    I'm having my OTA install done tomorrow. When I talked to the CSR he suggested that I go buy a better splitter than the one that they were going to supply. HUH??? Why? And if I do need to, what am I looking for? I'm having the OTA put to two rooms.

    OTA signal test

    I'm requesting a signal test to get my HD waivers. I live about two miles from an airport plus the city is between me and all of the towers. My question is how do they measure and what are the units of measurement that are being read. I want to be there when they do it and I want to have...

    I bought an Olivia 26 LCD HD TV and when I went to program the remote the normal way on my HD receiver....well....no Olivia or Syntax listing. What do I do now. I'm not going to go through ALL of them. Any ideas?:confused:

    Is it important enough to pay $500+

    to D* to record TV in HD? Not for me it isn't. I'm beginning to wonder if it is worth it to even DVR anything at all now that I've got a DVD recorder. Sure the DVR does a lot be it is worth that much? Hmmmmmm....... $500.....not a chance.:mad:

    Duke vs. UNC 8 Feb

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I was watching ESPN last night. First it was UT at Kentucky and it was in HD. As soon as it was over the Duke at UNC game came on and the side bars came up. HUH??? Why no HD of that game? Is that something unusual?

    Once and for all-H20 question

    I'm getting ready to hook up two H20s and I've seen answers all over the place here. Do I, or don't I need to do the old one time phone hook up thing? I know I needed to do that with my DVR, but I've not done a NON-DVR in three years. :D And if I don't need the phone line will I lose...

    DVR or DVD-R

    Considering that DVD-Rs have come a long way, does it make sense to get a DVR? Wouldn't a DVD-R such as the new RCA with commercial skip do almost the same thing, for less money?

    Any Plans for TBSHD on D*?

    I know that if I lived a couple of hours further north that this wouldn't be a problem but....well, if frogs had wings. I want to see the Braves in HD, so if anyone has heard anything that would be great news. Both myself and the SO are big time Bravos fans.:)
