    AT&T Launches Live Broadband TV Service

    from one of the articles: ......you can sign up for a free 14-day trial, and the terms of service state that you can cancel and get a full refund within 30 days of making your first payment. That's about 6 weeks of free testing, if you feel like taking the thing for a spin. Hmmm....if I had...

    AT&T Launches Live Broadband TV Service

    Interesting....they mention Slingbox in the article, also. By BRUCE MEYERSON NEW YORK (AP) - AT&T Inc. (T) is launching an Internet TV service where subscribers can watch live cable channels such as Fox News on any computer with a broadband connection for $20 per month. The AT&T...

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Well, good news and bad news. Got my Paladin tool and flare tool. Very nice. But I think I messed up on the Digicon connectors I ordered. I didn't want 50 of each (rg6 and rg59) so I shopped froogle and ordered these (about 20 of each)...

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Nice info! I just ordered the Paladin tool from here. Great idea on the flare tool - I found one that does rg6 as well as rg59 for $7.71 on that same part# page (item number pal1917). Thanks.

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Thanks for the info. This stuff can be really confusing. Even if the Zenith tool doesn't work with rg59, I'll likely get it anyway for that price just for rg6 stuff. And I guess I'll keep an eye on that ebay seller that StevenD recommended. 50 for $12 sounds great.

    RG6 Coax Connectors & Compression Tools

    Good point. For me, it would only be for runs from box to other tv's, not satellite to receiver runs. I have a nice chunk of rg59 and it works fine for that type of application. But my self installed connectors (twist ons and crimp style) on those runs really suck compared to a quality...

    Will the zenith tool work on rg6 and rg59 connectors?

    recording using the 6000

    That's pretty much what I was thinking. I wonder if that could be a future software fix or if that is more of a hardware issue. It is my understanding that the 720p/1080i setting only relates to component and dvi output. Svideo always gets 480i. That seamed to be true when I switched it back...

    recording using the 6000

    DarrellP, I have a question about your 6000 via svideo out. My 811 has an issue with 720p source material via svideo. I get slight shimmering/smearing when the picture pans (for example, ESPNHD basketball and ABC OTA NFL football (from a few weeks ago)). Football yard marker lines and/or...

    ESPN-Cox debate endangers future cable service

    Not specifically satellite related, but interesting nonetheless as to what ESPN charges per sub. http://sports.yahoo.com/ncaaf/news?slug=uwire-espncoxdebateendangersfutu&prov=uwire&type=lgns

    Lost in Space...

    Interesting - I didn't know D* offered a similar free moving program. The whole Pegasus setup is crazy. What good is it to offer a 'free moving' program if there will be a good chance you won't be eligible? IMHO, you should consider E* and their free 811 offer. That would provide you with...

    Lost in Space...

    Yes, overall I'm happy. I've had their 811 HD box for about 3 weeks now and although it has issues, they appear to be fixable via software upgrades (whenever they get around to it!) For the most part I am very happy with the 811. You mentioned that you will be moving - they have a program...

    Lost in Space...

    Have had E* for about 7 years and it has happened maybe 3 times I can remember. And each time it was raining REALLY hard. Even then it was only out for just a few minutes (less than 5) during the downpour.

    What Do You Think Of The PIONEER DVR810HS

    I'd point out that the TIVO BASIC is a nice option to have. It is currently on only two products: this one and another dvd player (not recorder). The player is about $400. TIVO BASIC has NO MONTHLY FEES! It does only have a 2 day guide and other limitations (like no season pass).

    what is IR control

    Infra Red - this is the way almost every regular remote works. It is a LINE OF SIGHT process - if you put your hand in front of this type of remote, it will likely not work. Many dish network recievers have UHF (ultra hi frequency) style remotes which utilize a radio frequency and can work in...

    508 coax out combined with ota to different tv?

    508 coax out combined with ota to different tv?

    Certainly - I've used a little dedicated combiner from radio shack (it was around $20 then) for about 6 years now that works very well. For some reason, I can't find it on their website anymore (discontinued?) but use this froogle link: http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=SIGNAL+COMBINER...

    Whole house distribution question

    Thanks for the input. The only thing that concerns me about that is when the VCR is ON - it would only output channel 4, so all other LOCALS would get stomped on throughout the house. Now thats a thought. Sounds like a regular MODULATER (RCA IN, CHANNEL 3/4 OUT) but what you describe has...

    Whole house distribution question

    Thanks, TW. When you mention scrapping the old modulator, are you refering to my old signal combiner (combining a channel 4 signal with outdoor antenna) because I don't currently have a standalone modulator. My modulators (in my limited understanding of a modulator) are built into my 4000...

    811 local channel capability

    Yes, and it is supposed to also handle ANALOG channels as well. I can't wait for that feature. Very CABLE like (which in this case is a GOOD thing!) where I won't have to switch to LOCAL vs SAT.
