    Is there a decent universal remote on the market?

    I purchased a Harmony One universal remote years ago. Despite numerous discussions with customer service representatives, it has never worked properly. All I'm trying to do is control a Panasonic TV, Directv DVR and a Sony Home Theater System. The remote won't turn all the components on unless I...

    Splitting the HDMI signal and sending it to three romms

    John: I'm a little confused about how to wire the Cat 6 HDMI extender (Monoprice # 8121). It appears that one of the extenders is plugged into the 4-way powered splitter and the other into the remote Tv. It appears to require two runs of Cat 6 or 5e cable. I need a 60' run. Monoprice has a 75'...

    Splitting the HDMI signal and sending it to three romms

    I chatted with the Monoprice tech again this morning. My proposed HDMI cable run to a third room is 60'. The tech says that neither the #6192 or the #5704 will work. He didn't say why. I'm at a loss as to what to do.

    Splitting the HDMI signal and sending it to three romms

    Thanks Pepper. After I posted my question on this forum I chatted on line with one of the techs at Monoprice. He suggested that I purchase item # 5704 when it is available (It is currently out of stock). I wonder why he didn't suggest the #6192. Do you know what's the difference between the two.

    Sony Blu-Ray DVD's will not pay thru Sony TV

    I have a Sony blu-ray player connected to a Sony HDTV. No matter what we did, my wife and I could not get the DVD to show up on the TV. We moved the player to a Sony TV in another room, connected the HDMI cord to a spare HDMI outlet and the player worked perfectly. Does anyone know why the...

    Flat Panel Mounts

    I have a flat on wall tilt on one TV and don't really like it. Changing the tilt is a pain and accessing the rear panel of the TV is almost impossible. Recently, I added a second TV and purchased a Peerless swingout with tilt model. I love it. It is built incredibly well and can be articulated...

    B&H Photo Video - Anybody Used them ?

    B & H is absolutely the best . I have brought lots of camera equipment and tvs from them. Unlike some other internet sellers they allow shipping thru USPS, which is relatively inexpensive. Shipping is always fast--as long as you avoid the numerous religious holidays when they are closed and...

    Thanks Kevin: The problem with replacing the existing cable with a new 50' one is that it took me 4 hours to fish the cable in my attic crawlspace. I'm black and blue and am sore all over from squeezing into tiny spaces. My wife, bless her heart, assisted me in this ordeal and will do...

    Extending an HDMI Cable

    I'm trying to extend an HDMI cable from my Dish 722 receiver in one room to a new HDTV in another. My wife brought a 25' HDMI cord which we thought would be long enough. It wasn't. So I brought an HDMI coupler from Monoprice and coupled the 25' cable with a 6' one that was lying around. It's...
