    When will FIOS make it to Clearwater, FL?

    Well right off of my street going right under the the cable lines are some little red flags in the ground, sadly they say Knology. I guess they are going to patch up the holes in few places they aren't in yet in my neighborhood which is right at the edge of the city limits. Also a couple...

    Question regarding SA 8300HD PQ

    I've seen the line when watching analog channels on my pc, because the standard is meant for tvs that over-scan you will see things that you shouldn't. Don't replace your box, don't replace your cable, don't pass go and don't collect 200$

    Will BHN match Fios speeds

    That only counts for OTA, cable can whatever they want.

    When will FIOS make it to Clearwater, FL?

    There are alot of orange flags and orange paint in the intersection of Lakeview and Highland. Thats only 800ft from my street! Our telephone lines are on the pole above ground so chances are thats where the fiber will be. Is It quicker to get that going than underground? If so I'll probably be...

    When will FIOS make it to Clearwater, FL?

    Thats 5 miles north of me, the Verizon building is 2 miles away. Maybe I will have FIOS by the end of the year? Will they use GPON?

    New Member with a question...

    It's not like the analog signals are gone (yet), hook the cable up to the analog input on your tv until the problem is fixed.

    How far can you reach???

    I got over 200 miles before with a small uhf directional antenna that came with the hdtv wonder. I had it sitting on a plastic lawn chair in my back yard about 3ft off the ground.

    Are the network signals anywhere near strong enough to be gotten with a 40x30 minibud?

    Fios Available in North Pinellas County?

    Also I've been thinking, Here in Clearwater around 2002 I think when GTE turned into Verizon(was GTE both a cable company and the phone?), they put up a huge multi satellite 50ft elliptical cband dish. Maybe Verizon and Knology share the same building because it used to be the same company and...

    Fios Available in North Pinellas County?

    We used to go to eat there more back when it was called Homer's, nothing actually changed when the name changed except we just got tired of gas and stomach aches when we ate too much. :o I don't know really about the other places because I haven't been out there in a while and if I had I...

    Fios Available in North Pinellas County?

    Thats great! I am between S. Missouri Ave. and S. Highland Ave. does that count as North Pinellas? Did they give any information about when? It is very annoying to get excited about something that won't happen for another year, I've already waited two.

    just wanted to say Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years! :)

    The internet in my area just went out a few minutes ago: 1:57 - 1:59 Is this a sign of an upgrade or am I just being too hopeful? Is 2 minutes even enough time to do something like that?

    just wanted to say Happy Holidays, and Happy New Years! :)

    Here in Tampa bay the basic speed is 7/512 and premium is 10/1, there are also the bundles: Digital Cable + Roadrunner + 10$ = 10/1 Digital Cable + Digital Phone + Roadrunner + 15$ = 15/2 I don't watch that much tv and have 2 cellphones so there is no need for Digital Cable or Phone but I...

    Hey I heard something about there being a 40mbps speed upgrade, is that true? What will the upload be?

    Ip Mepg4

    The box does not do the decoding, it all depends on the software and codec you use. Right now there aren't any mpeg4 streams you can get, I think what it means is you can stream mpeg4 over internet/lan.

    which codecs can handle 4:2:2

    I get the same jerkyness with dvbdream, vmr and vmr9 make it better but the brightness and contrast are wrong. Strange thing is the jerkyness wasn't there until I hooked up my 37" 1080p monitor with dvi, previous was 17" crt @ 1280x960 75hz vga, now 37" lcd @ 1920x1080 60hz dvi. What the problem...

    Is this correct: No blind scan

    I just did a test with my Satellite Finder, if the light gets dim it's vertical, if the light is bright it's horizontal. Right when I start the scan it gets dim but 1 second later it got bright again and stayed like that through v and h.

    Is this correct: No blind scan

    Just got altrxo, yes it's fast but only if I scan a small range of symbol rates. If I scan all symbol rates >1875 it won't find everything, so than I have to set the delay further up, which I don't know how to do yet. Also an annoying glitch, it finds the same tp in both h and v? Either it's not...

    Is this correct: No blind scan

    Hmm, The only driver I used for blindscan was 4.4, maybe it would work better if I went lower? Because I miss some stuff unless I put the delay all the way to 1000ms, that makes it take too long.

    Blind scan on PCI

    Yes I have, Dvbdream, progdvb and Tsreader both work fine. But with Dvbdream I get this annoying stutter in the video, progdvb is a pain to get the codec I want working (mainconcept has annoying pixelation in red colors) and tsreader only allows 30s to play unless I pay 100$. With mytheatre...

    Blind scan on PCI

    I've had the skystar2 2.3p for about 2 weeks. It beats the hell out of the starbox, the starbox had trouble with pbs-hd but the skystar works without a glitch on the same signal. But I have a couple problems, First, I'm having trouble with blindscan, it does not find everything that is there...
