    BHN web site displays exceptional professionalism

    That was six months ago. Somewhere along the way, the problem resolved. You found one of my non-complements...did you go hunting for them? :) Let me know if you feel deprived--I can load them up! By the way, you are a breath of fresh air. I don't know how you have the personality that can...

    All stations go to B&W

    My compliments are valuable because they are so rare. Of course, you knew that! :)

    All stations go to B&W

    Having now used the Vizio for a while, I am fairly pleased with it, especially the color which is excellent. The is one thing it does that is very distressing though; when you change to a new channel, you are familiar with the info banner that comes up at the bottom showing the network, the...

    All stations go to B&W

    For completeness for other readers, I have to confess. Without going through the path of how this was found, the problem LIKELY was that the cable box STB has a setting for picture size also== and it was set to ZOOM (I know not why I ever did that). I think that was what caused it, but I...

    All stations go to B&W

    I have been through all of the sub-menus in the "Menu" button and have seen nothing sounding like an overscan setting. The only one relating to picture size and fit has four options 4:3, 16:9, screen fit, wide zoom. It is a Samsung UN32EH4003F

    All stations go to B&W

    Nobody weighed in, but I ended up getting a new HDTV--old one was the last SD CRT in house, but was a terrific TV for many years until this issue arose. In fact, color was better on it than on this new Samsung replacement. Also, no matter what picture size I select from the 4 or 5 available...

    All stations go to B&W

    What is the most likely cause if all stations suddenly change to B&W? Turning TV and cable box off and back on brings the color back. (Using S_Video from STB to AVR and from AVR to TV.)

    Where Can Preference Be Set To Show Latest Post At Top?

    Where can Preference be set to show latest post at top (reverse chronological order)? I looked in the preferences section but I do not see it there. Can you point me to where that is?

    Why so difficult bright house?

    a. I was not talking about winter. b. We have had very few of summertime storms to date. c. It doesn't take many of them happening when you are tryig to watch something to spoil the experience. But I am for liberty and freedom of choice; if you like it, wonderful. I simply want others to be...

    Why no option to "record series?"

    cfl Brevard. I just scrolled the guide over to Monday, ch 3, 9pm, to set a DVR recording for the series 24: Live Another Day. But when I press select, neither 'record series' nor 'record series with options' is shown in the list of what I can do. ???

    Suddenly can't see part of the scene

    A new piece of info on this one. The TV involved is a 4:3 nonHD TV. On that show, if I switch over to the HD channel, it changes into a letterbox on THIS TV, and the full width is viewable, showing the column of numbers I have been talking about. Image is smaller of course due to full width...

    Suddenly can't see part of the scene

    That is extremely hard to say. I notice it on that program because there are multiple times during it when a "score board" is shown (always the same view) as the contestant answers questions. The score board has the column showing results on the right side. For a LONG time, hundreds of shows...

    DVR 'locked"

    Just Hit list button, selected a saved reconding and then play. Everything is frozen. There is a title bar and black screen. No button does anything. Cannot turn DVR off. Oops...wait...DVR just rebooted itself. Cool. LATER: OK. It sorted itself out after the reboot. That was weird.

    Suddenly can't see part of the scene

    We watch Family Feud a lot. Suddenly, tonight, the right edge is no longer visible. I know this because, at the end of the show, the view includes a score board. Now we cannot see the second digit in the right hand column when it is a 2-digit number. Three shows in a row (re-runs always) had...

    I apologize. I thought he was complaining about 'channel not available.'

    Why so difficult bright house?

    My garden hose is premium quality with lifetime guarantee. There is nothing wrong with it, but I cannot push 10,000 GPM through it. SDV is excellent technology. But if more people demand a channel than the CURRENT plant can deliver, it will fail to deliver the demand (just as will my high...

    Instructions on viewing DVR

    If you record, say, 3 hours of something, when you start to view it, is there any way to instantly jump ahead to, for example, the 2 hour point?

    Why so difficult bright house?

    Well, not really. Not during heavy rain which we have fairly frequently here in central FL. Not so much during the winter, but summer is a different story. And it seems to always happen just as you are into something you really like.

    Why so difficult bright house?

    certainfinger (interesting name)... since you are heavy into pointing out things you do not like about BHN, may I be so bold as to ask that you put some paragraphs in your writing? As one huge paragraph, it is very hard to wade through it.

    An offered suggestion

    Read the first post; I think there is a misinterpretation going on... I was referring to channels that show in the guide but, for example, are in a pay package I do not subscribe to. I was not referring to those that SHOULD be viewable but are not due to technical issues. My complaint is that...

    An offered suggestion

    Yep, it is me, complaining again... But please take this simply as an offered suggestion: It is awful to be scrolling through the guide, see something that sounds interesting, select it... THEN FIND IT IS NOT WATCHABLE IN YOUR SET OF PURCHASED STUFF! (and there are places where there are...

    Brighthouse 1056B03 Remote Power Key Not Working

    I also would like to turn off the backlight to save battery; I do not need the lights. And I read that defining "shifted keys" (using Setup key as the 'shift' key) has been removed from B03 model. It seems like this "upgrade" was a downgrade.

    channel unavailable message

    Interesting thoughts. I want to comment on one theme I think I read correctly, which I will summarize as 'there is no incentive to take advantage of bettering oneself because (for example) you get the same pay as the next guy who does nothing extra.' Ah, that's kind of the way it works--you...
