    Audio drop outs

    And here I thought it was just my set up. I have audio drop outs on my 622, but not the 211, both are pointed at the WA. I experience the most drops on Showtime and Stars, probably because they are most watched.

    Star Wars Old Republic "Crew Skills"

    Hopefully I will be done with my degree when this baby comes out. Star Wars Galaxies nearly caused my wife and I to get a divorce--hopes she has a short memory. ;)

    Dish sneaky PPV tactics? - DVR goes to PPV order screen by itself!

    I have noticed this issue on my 622. The first time it happened I thought the dog caused it--jumped up on the couch at about the same time as the PPV screen appeared--, but has happened a couple of times since then with no one messing with the remote. I know the neighbors are not the cause of...

    Sirius Xm to raise rates another $2

    You can add me to the list of ex-Sirius lisners. They were on my short list when they increased the additional receiver fee (in my case, I had two additional receivers) and this latest stunt did them in. I am quickly becoming hooked on Slacker and plan to order a G2 with a FM transmitter by...

    Beer Drinkers Could Toast Anheuser Takeover?

    It doesn't really matter what kinds of beer InBev brings to the American market as they all get butchered to meet US standards and will barely reassembly their European counterparts. I am sad to see a great American icon go down like this thou.

    How far should a wireless keyboard reach?

    Thanks for the posts. I believe the set is RF, haven't confirmed this though. From your responses, I see that it depends on the manufacturer and technology, but it should be possible to meet my 10 foot span. Thanks again.

    How far should a wireless keyboard reach?

    Sorry for the cryptic title, but I could use some help. I just bought a Logitech LX310 Cordless keyboard and mouse combo for use with my PS3. To get everything to work I have to be less than 3 feet from the receiver. I have replaced the batteries and still the same resultss. I was hoping for...

    sat launch dates

    All of the launch dates for SeaLaunch (Zenit3) are guesses as they haven't completed their 'return to operations' demonstartion launch yet. The SeaLaunch platform is currently on its way and the command ship will follow shortly. So I would say that things are set in Jell-o at best.

    10, 9, 8, 7, . . . Liftoff?

    SeaLaunch's "return to flight" launch was scrubbed due to unusually high sea currents (nearly double the norm) and upper level winds. The launch platform and support ship returned to home port. As of a couple of days ago, they have not announced what affects (delays) this will cause to their...

    Toshiba DVD HD-A2 Buying Experience

    Read about the sale on one of Scott's posts, called the Wal-Mart, and picked up one up within the hour. Actually, I made two trips to assist other purchasers and both visits went smoothly. Funny side story...While waiting to checkout during the second visit, we noticed two CC employees with...

    Did you buy Toshiba's $98 deal?

    I spread the word of the sale around the office and we bought out the remaining stock of 12 players. All were first time purchasers of any sort of HD content player. Everyone’s’ primary rationalization for making the purchase was at the least the A2 would make a good up-converting player, if...

    Anyones EPG screwed up? local mapping

    Interesting. I recently have been having a similar problem with my 522. I loose my locals and some of the higher channels in my EPG. I even loose them while I am watching them and sometimes I won't loose them for a few days. I have to accomplish a front panel reset to get them back.
