On both local and (non-local?) channels the sound drops off for seconds to minutes. But if the show is backed up, even just a second, the sound is okay. I did a quick search here but didn't see this problem listed. Then again, tough to figure what to search for. We have two other receivers but...

I haven't been on this site in years but wanted to research some problems. I have IE9 and everything is shoved over to the left side, post topics Lo ok lik e t hi s. I tried chrome and clicked login and nothing happened, it keep looping and looping.

For boba: I didn't rent that meter; I was wondering if anyone had an opinion about it. This is the fourth dish I have installed, an 18" round and two slimlines. Never had a SWM so didn't expect the power inserter. I lost a lot of time scratching my head and wondering why it wasn't working. I'd...

No, I have a slimline at my house where this reciever was. When the reciever goes from a Slimline to a SWM Slimline the tilt and elevation changes. The mast is practically plumb. As I said, I don't know what else to adjust to make it better. The mast mount is level. I moved the mast up until...

Anyone have an opinion on this? Spectrum Spot | Single Wire Multiswitch SWM or SWiM System | Rental kits for DIY alignment I got everything mounted but could not find the satellites. I'm at my cabin, I bought a SL3 SWM. I get the cable run, mount the dish. First questions: it came with a...

Do you mean the second HD I specifically ordered or when the second one failed? The one that failed didn't fail out of the box but never worked either. I wouldn't have accepted a charge if they wouldn't have replaced it. I know it's not much money but the amount should not matter. I am just...

Of course this is my fault for not checking my bill. I blame DTV for trying to pull a fast one, and by going paperless. Guess I have to watch my bills more closely now. Last year my HD receiver died. They had to put a new dish on the roof for the new receiver. The problem was, they never...

Mother is in nursing home but lucid. She wants a DVD/VCR player for her TV. What is the simplest out there, with an easy remote? Simple does not have to mean basic. Thank you.

At a home show a Comcast rep said when the DTV switch happens next February that Comcast will also switch over to a digital only signal. I argued and even pointed out on their website they said people with old analog TVs will not have to do anything if they have cable. So was he being an idiot...

I hope you are joking, because I am laughing. Seriously I see nothing wrong with the unit. Probably most of the readers will roll their eyes but I could fix this. I was a component level repair technician for fifteen years. But can't do anything without the circuit diagram, etc. I saw...

I don't have the receiver in front of me, want to get the question out there and will add details later. I have an older model HD receiver. I had it unplugged when I got a new HD receiver; it worked fine. Last night I went to rehook it; as soon as I plugged the power cord in there was a clicking...

This is from my sister. I have DTV so have no idea. Thanks for any help: You know the digital cable box we have for the downstairs TV, can we buy one somewhere to hook up to a TV upstairs or do we have to rent through Comcast? I looked at Circuit City and the only thing I see there is for...

While watching the Jerk Saturday on an HD movie channel, the sound in one channel went out. I have all four outputs hooked up, it was on all of them. Other channels were fine. On Sunday watching TNT-HD, the picture went out. It was brown, not black. Regular TNT was fine. It went out once and...

I'm planning a trip to Oakland, for a week. I'm sure there are thousands of things to do that would fill up a month. Please offer suggestions. But I'm also asking about areas outside of Oakland. For instance, it looks like if I wanted to visit Redwoods national park and Mt Shasta, should I...

Can I glom onto this thread? Local radio shack’s are closing (waits for cheers to die down) and they are selling outdoor antennas for 60% off. In the store the http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103087&cp=&pg=2&origkw=uhf+antenna&kw=uhf+antenna&parentPage=search is labeled...

First question, does you garage, antenna and the station's tower lie on the same line? Second, have you tried moving the antenna when the car is not in the garage to see if the station gets picked up again? Third, if it's the weakest signal, is the antenna pointed at it? Assuming it's a...

Ah. I think I see what I was missing. I have a pretty darn good stereo but it does not have surround. I got the DVD with surround and the extra speakers and it crapped out; after warrenty of course. Everything but the cd/dvd works. Heck, I could replace the unit's mechanism if I could buy it...

I mean a base DVD player that is also an amplifier, has five speaker and subwoofer output.

My DVD player won't play DVD. I'd like to replace it, but don't need the speakers. Any surround DVDs that are sold as stand alone?

I don’t know what HD receiver I have. It was installed by a D* tech in June. I don’t have DVR or Tivo. I have a rear projection. When watching my local OTA HD I notice the picture is slightly too big. I have to move the picture up to see the bottom weather crawl. I also notice on CNN and...

What do you mean by this? What fails? I just got the oval dish and only have the HD rec hooked up. Was going to use SD for upstairs TV. I only have one cable going upstairs and it wouldn't be nice to pull a second just to use an AB switch. Figured on using 3x4 with cable input.

I would have made the subject “The things you’ll see!” but wanted to draw eyes. I am getting an outside antenna and driving a convertible I’ve been watching rooflines around town to see what people are using. This weekend going through central PA I came to an area that had a lot of antennas...

(Sorry if I’m going over old topic). I don’t know what D* magazine is called, but I just got the newest copy and the reformat is horrible. Movie listings from 9:30am to 4pm, regular channels from 9am – 11pm, (not sure of actual ranges), channels not listed. My regular TV guide also changed...

I didn't state this right, because I didn't recall everything at the time. I can view the DVD, with component input, when it is the main input channel on PiP. The other PiP channel is either S-video or single RCA or RF and is also viewable. If I swap the inputs, make the other input the main and...

Nevermind. One line on the connector pakage, that included the screw on tool, says the connectors are for RG-59.
