    Thanks. Are you happy with the Roku stick while streaming? Performance, reliability, image quality?

    A couple questions about Sling TV

    Thanks Tampa8. I did read that. Also, on Sling's website, where it lists compatible devices, it does NOT list the Roku streaming stick. ???

    A couple questions about Sling TV

    Thanks guys. Are you saying they would need 2 accounts AND a Roku stick for each TV? If they watched the same thing on 2 different TV's, would they need 2 accounts and 2 Roku sticks?

    A couple questions about Sling TV

    My daughters are trying to get rid of Directv to save money, and I thought Sling may be part of the solution. 1) Since they have 2 TV's, would they need 2 devices to stream Sling(Roku stick, etc?). 2) If they wanted to stream 2 different things at the same time, would they need 2 Sling...

    Is there no demand for the 811 anymore ?

    I've been trying to sell my old 811 receiver on Craigslist and a local HT forum with no luck. Is there just no demand for it anymore? I've got the box, manual, and 2 working remotes. I've had a couple people respond, asking about what card is in it. When I tell them it never came with one, I...

    Mitsubishi HC3800 projector !!

    It's not that. The Epson 8100 is a popular projector, and should have it's own thread.

    Any time frame on Panny's 2010 Players?

    Please be nice, but what is Pandora and how does it work? I have the Pan. BD65. Thanks.

    Mitsubishi HC3800 projector !!

    The HC3800 has a 29% image offset. If your screen is 52" tall like mine(106" diagonal) the image offset is 15".

    Blu-ray Rentals Likely $1.50 a Night at Redbox Kiosks

    That's a damn good deal. It may be confusing having Blu and DVD's in the same machine though.

    What's the value of an 811 receiver?

    Thanks. I saw one person on Ebay selling the 811 for $50, "Buy Now". Just to make sure I have this right, if a person is a Dish customer, and hooks up the 811 with an OTA antenna, will they be able to receive their locals in HD?

    What's the value of an 811 receiver?

    Since I no longer have Dish, I want to sell an 811 receiver that's been packed away. But I have no idea what it's worth or what to ask. What do you guys think? It can only be used to pick up OTA programming( if you're a Dish customer) is that right? Thanks.

    How to hook up this equipment to do....

    Thanks guys. I decided against this fiasco, using 2 boxes.

    How to hook up this equipment to do....

    Thanks Iceberg. I'm confused about splitter port 2. I run a coax from splitter port 2 to converter box 2, and then what? And what adjustments/settings do I need to do to watch one OTA channel while recording another channel? Thanks.

    How to hook up this equipment to do....

    I want to be able to watch an OTA channel, while recording a different OTA channel. Do I need a splitter in the mix to do this? The setup is as follows: 32" analog TV Zinwell ZAT-970 digital converter box VCR Currently the OTA antenna comes into the converter box, then out to VCR...

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    I finally received the "box" today to return my 2 receivers. The 2 CSR's were both wrong(they said I'd receive 2 boxes, and would cost $15 per box). Anyway, $15 is better than $30.

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    YES, you read it correctly. That's why I called back a couple days later, and it was verified by the second person. I'm still waiting for the boxes. It will be up to 10 days to receive them.

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    YEP. Use the boxes or else!!!

    Well, I cancelled Dish

    I don't know if it would be cheaper, but I was told if I don't use the provided boxes and labels, I'd still be charged $15 per receiver. I called again yesterday and this was verified by another Dish agent. I still say it's just a way to stick it to us who cancel. The funny thing is, I've always...

    Need antenna installer in Bridgeport CT area

    I remember when I was looking to have an antenna installed about 6 years ago, nobody wanted to do the job. My son and I wound up putting it up. The couple guys that did return my call said they were not interested.
