I only sell one stand-alone VCR where I work now. A cheap 4-head Emerson mono VCR for between $35 and $40. The rest are all VCR/DVD combos.

Wind seems to affect UHF signals for me, especially with analog channels. Is this because the wind, which is usually stronger at higher levels, is moving the transmitter around?

It sounds like your TV has a built-in QAM tuner. My Sanyo 26" LCD HDTV has one and I've got the incoming cable line connected to "Digital Antenna In". With that scan (I'm just southwest of Hartford, CT), I get the primary channel for 5 locals (CBS, ABC, WB, NBC and FOX) plus PBS-HD, which is on...

This morning, I attached an oridnary pair of VHF telscoping rods to the back of my Sanyo 26" LCD HDTV in New Britain (the kind that are supposed to pop into a little slot on the back of a small TV). Here's what I got: [D 33] WFSB-DT (CBS) Hartford 3-1, 3-2 ("CBS 3"), 3-3 (blank) [D 10]...

His market has WQCW-TV (WB...CW in September) channel 30, licensed to Portsmouth, OH to the west. Their digital is WQCW-DT channel 17 with only a 50,000 watt signal. Wish him luck!

Just for fooling around, I had a UHF corner Yagi from a uninstalled roof antenna hooked up in my bedroom with a short twinlead going to my Sanyo TV. With it pointing towards the northwest (or the longer boom portion of it facing that way), I was getting: WFSB-DT 3-1 (CBS) Hartford WFSB-DT...

The Tube just became available here in Hartford/New Haven on WTXX-DT channel 12-2 (a.k.a. "20-2") of Waterbury/Hartford. Does the viewer determine the playlist by phoning in requests or is it predetermined?

Here in greater Hartford, WEDH-DT (PBS) digital channel 42 isn't on the air yet. Comcast of New Britain and Hartford have a cable-only feed of CPTV (Connecticut Public Television). It's strange because only about 90% of the screen is filled during the day (more than a traditional pillarbox but...

Actually, I only get two little boxes on a black screen with one box slightly larger than the other. You see the woman from E! advertising what's On Demand. There's no menu screen under the box at all. :( Meanwhile, on Wednesday afternoon, I did a local scan with the antenna hooked up...

Scott, as usual, you're right on the money. Now if only there was a way for it to get YES-HD or NESN-HD? (We still don't get the Mets channel here.) ABC-HD looked quite nice during the NBA Finals (GO DALLAS!!) on Thursday and Sunday! This thing also seems to leak an occasional piece of an On...

I'm not sure if the TV receives a 1080i signal or not. I only saw the manual mention 720p (progressive). It has an HDMI output jack yet my Magnavox DVD recorder doesn't have that. I've only got progressive cables hooked right now. The TV offers "Pix 1" through "Pix 4" to change the screen shape...

I live outside of Hartford, CT and recently purchased a 26" Sanyo LCD HDTV model DP26746. I threw on a $13 RCA Indoor antenna with a 12-position tuning knob and a round UHF reflector. Depending on position, I get the following: WFSB-DT (CBS) channel 33 Hartford 33-1 Analog channel 3...

The Wal-Mart I work at has a 27" Sanyo TV with the dual tuner for $268. It looks to have a single 75 ohm coaxial antenna/cable input and the typical A/V and S-Video input. BTW, I know what NTSC is. What does "ATSC" officially stand for?

From what I've heard, a given market is supposed to switch over before that if 85% of a given DMA is capable of receiving digital broadcasts. Here in Hartford/New Haven (CT), Hartford's PBS station (WEDH-TV channel 24) doesn't have their digital on over-the-air yet (available on Comcast in New...

This man used to BE channel 18 of Hartford in the 1980s. Religious or not, he was always fun to watch. I still remember those nights when all you'd see on the air was his empty chair, for an hour or more at a time. "GIT on the Telephone!!"

What TV show will get cancelled first? Either "Whoopi" on NBC or "The Mullets" on UPN. The latter got a 2.4 broadcast rating with the preview that followed "WWE Smackdown!" this past Thursday. The real test will be in its regular Tuesday time slot (when it doesn't have a stronger lead-in).

"Family Guy: The Movie"? I think FOX cancelled the show due to viewr complaints about the show's content. It's a known fact that there's one episode which FOX refused to air ("Once Upon A Weinstein"). The new Season 3 DVD, which just came out this past Tuesday, includes that episode. Cartoon...

Anyone catch "Whoopi" or "American Family&quo Could it also be the time slot the show is in? I can still feel the sting of Emeril Lagasse's attempt at acting with his NBC sitcom in 2001. No offense, Emeril, but your show sucked! Thank goodness you've still got your day job! :)

The ABC show is "8 Simple Rules For Dating My Teenage Daughter" I think just "8 Simple Rules" would've been a better title. (R.I.P. John :( )

Annoying Satellite Marketing? I don't know if this is the same thing but it is similar: I had a call from SBC/SNET (Connecticut) on Friday morning asking if my family was interested in getting SBC/Yahoo! internet service. The number on the Caller ID showed a New Haven, CT phone number (New...

Heart ailment claims "Three's Company" star John R What choice does ABC have? They've got to air the episodes that were already produced. That show is (was?) one of the few hits ABC even has (had?). The real question is what will happen to the rest of the cast? Everybody knows Katey Sagal...
