got my electric bill for January, figured that I would share: 01/27/2010 30 days Actual 159 kwh's $27.31 :) last year was 423 kwh's

I am also leaning towards LED, it seems that the newer LED's are getting more lumens/watt so a 4 watt LED equal a 40 watt halogen bulb (as long as you can take a 5000K light color), gonna try one to see how it is.

To continue what I began writing: You really need to reduce your consumption of electricity before you purchase a Photo-voltaic array or it will cost you a fortune to purchase it to cover the amount that you use. Reduction is not that difficult, all those little things you plug in consume...

In the past year and a half, I have reduced my electrical usage dramatically. I started using a kill-a-watt meter and it did basic measurements that showed what devices are using for electricity. But after about 7 months I wanted to take a much bigger step in my reduction and then purchased a...

No it did not do S2, got an Azbox Elite and happy with it, S2 and 4:2:2 and waiting on Blindscan but not holding my breath...

Either a bad connection on a cable, bad disecQ , water in the cable, a bad spliiter on the cable, too long of a cable. But it is with the cable

GET a chainsaw! :)

My favorite summer activity was playing baseball in a sandlot, we played it from early morning till dusk. It was almost a daily thing.

I will try to get to it this weekend. I have not been at 12.5 in a long time, hopefully leaves do not hinder it right now. Jim

The Sonicview SV8000HD definitely has an ATSC tuner

I am actually glad it is gone, the only bird I could not SEE from my back yard

hmmmm, would love to replace mine with that one....

Yes

Yes it works fine, just set the LNB setting to "LNBF" and "Invert Polarity" and you are good to go.

THANKS!, got my WHDH back. Jim

That dish is pretty decent, gains from what I observed ( I am local to DVB Hardware) and was able to see this dish personally and signal levels were very similar to my kinda beat up 10 foot button hook, definitely better on Ku.

I lost one channel, WHDH channel 7 from Boston, they went to VHF freq and I cannot get that with my 4248 antenna. Looks like I am stuck with NBC from Providence :(

I wish I could put it up another foot to get better signal on 137w in the summer time :) but if it could go lower, I would definitely do it since I really want to change it and it is difficult to change when it is located on a 10' pole... The sheets definitely smell better being dried on the...

I was thinking of putting up a clothes line to reduce my electric bill since an electric clothes dryer uses about 5kw/hr which in this part of the country costs near a $1 to run. I had an old flag pole that I was not using anymore so I thought, why not use the back side of my pole that the 90cm...

Scott, where in CT do you live? I will be on vacation the week of 20 thru the 28th but will be driving to VA for part of it, maybe if you get the dish I could give a hand? My Azbox will be in on weds too, happy birthday to me :) (actually my bday is on thurs) Jim

I do not know about saying that the Sonicviews in general are messed up because till my power supply went on my SV8000, it ran my SG2100 on my Geosatpro 90cm without flaws.

Yeah, I remember now, your right, it was spotlight, it was on UHF channel 68 in my area. My mind is starting to age....

I had HBO via Microwave antenna in the early 80's. Also available here was a service called "Preview" and another one I think was called "Stars" or something like that. Those were broadcasted via an antenna that was designed only for that frequency.

It's a HP/Compaq TC1100, known issue and only a mainboard replacement will fix it :( I am changing to a new one when it comes out(already preordered it), it runs a version of linux but will not be coming out till late spring/summer: Always Innovating: Introducing the Touch Book It has a...
