    Does your Gamestop do this?

    lawsuit Gamestop got in a bunch of trouble in 03 for selling used games as new. Now they are being investigated over the employees playing games and selling as new. They haven't been purchased by anyone before, but they are used! I got Left 4 Dead this way and argued with the guy it wasn't...

    Clear QAM channels (Tampa)

    They had the big networks, but not ion. The other day most of them disappearred in new port richey. All that I get right now is 8, 3, 16 and 38 I think. I use an antenna, so I don't really use the qam. We get free cable in the apartment, so I have the QAM in the samsung hd box to play with...

    Akimbo cancels boxes and media center

    Thanks for the info on the 360. I used that feature with itunes podcast, just didn't think about Akimbo. My understanding was that Joost will be supported by ads. But that could definately be wrong. I know that companies usually screw the people that paid. That is the one really good...

    Akimbo cancels boxes and media center

    Akimbo is stopping support of the RCA boxes, and the Windows Media Center on August 1st. They are only supporting their own software. This stinks because you won't be able to stream it through the Xbox 360. I do give them credit though. They are refunding lifetime memberships, minus the...

    EchoStar rebuffed by ION

    I know not many people watch ion in the rating world. But I regularly watch Devil Rays games on ion. I enjoy the ion life shows sometimes, thought I think they are on a loop. And I know my brothers daughter watches qubo a lot. I also know 3 people at work who watch or record the Wonder...

    ATSC/NTSC Confusion

    If I understand rookie right, there is only 1 input on the TV he wants to get. The Vizio vx37l only has 1 input. My Dad's TV only has 1 input as well. It scans for analog, then digital with one input. You are pretty much screwed with getting cable and antenna. They are right about using a...

    How far can you reach???

    I'm in Clermont, FL which is straight west of Orlando by 20 miles or so. I can get Fort Myers, and West Palm Beach stations on some nights with my mini-state antenna. The WPB ones are around 180 miles I think. Of course this is at night.

    Any XM renewal deals available?

    I called to cancel the other day, and they offered $6.95 a month for a year I believe. I was cancelling, so I wasn't interested. Give it a try.

    VDC.com complains to FCC against Turner

    VDC.com (virtual digital cable) is complaining since Turner won't give them access to their channels. This would be huge if companies had to give access to their channels to internet cable companies. You can read more at their blog http://blog.vdc.com/

    "The Tube" gone from Minneapolis (WUCW 23-2)??

    Just noticed this missing too I got home finally from a long Christmas vacation, and went to turn on the tube while checking the forums. It's gone in Tampa. 38 is just showing a stretched format on the sub channel. None of our sub-channels show educational either. Just the PBS of course.

    HD OTA station not filling 16:9 screen

    Desire and Fashion House won't be in HD if they are delayed because of a game. 65 in Orlando shows both shows in HD, but if a Magic game is on, they show the shows afterwards. In regular format. I would assume they can't record in HD, so they are stuck showing the regular version.

    How to get old NES working

    if you are careful, you can also use a small screw driver and bend all the little teeth on the system out. This will make a very tight fit. You can usually play the game without pushing it down. I use to sell tons of games on ebay, and this is how I sold my systems when I was out of the...

    Phoenix Local 12 news in HD

    Channel 9 in Orlando has been HD for a while (since I got my tv at least 3 months ago. Very nice picture. They also use HD cameras for most of their reporters, not just studio shots.

    Can I link two Silver Sensors?

    Lots of people will say you can't join them, but I have no problems. I have an antenna pointed at 90 degrees, and one at 220. They are joined with a splitter, and on the same pole. On the analog, there is definately some multipath. On digital, everything is fine. Sometimes it takes a few...

    VDC.com review (initial impressions)

    Yesterday there was a post about wrestling on MavTv, and I love my wrestling!! So I wondered if I was able to watch online. I know ITVN offers this channel, but so far I haven't wanted to buy another box, or be locked into a contract. So I stumbled onto Virtual Digital Cable...

    Wrestling comes to MAVTV in ITVN Tonight!

    There is another way to get MavTv as well. You can watch it at VDC.com This is Virtual Digital Cable. The cost is $11.95 a month. Comparable to ITVN, but a few more channels I think. Just another option without a box. I'll be watching tonight on VDC.

    Can't wait to get Star Choice TV

    One more question before I take the plunge!! Do they do a credit check like some of the US companies? No social insurance # to give, or just use us ssn?

    Can't wait to get Star Choice TV

    When you pay with credit card, does it not matter that the address won't match your billing address? Or do you have a personal address & a billing address on file. I always thought those type of companies matched your billing info, so no identity theft.
