    CES Day 4 - TimeTrax & SBC / Dish Network U-VERSE

    First, to be fair and balanced, did you also ask SBC if the unit will handle mpeg4 like you asked Charlie. Also I did not see a DVI port, did it have one.

    History Enlists New Channel --- [Military History Channel]

    GET THIS RIGHT, Just because it is called the Military channel, IT IS NOT A WAR CHANNEL. Many of us Vets like to keep up on the military stuff and I hope Charlie keeps the channel. Like many others here I am VERY proud to have served and it bugs me to no end when some liberal (not saying your...

    Looking to switch from Cable to Satellite. What can I expect?

    If you go with DISH, you can expect to get jacked around the same as you do with cable. NEVER trust anything they say over the phone. Or, for that matter even when Charlie says something on the Charlie Chat, I'm still fuming over the NO "name based recording" on the 721.

    Bank Check Scam, or Ligitiment Deal?

    Whats all the hub-bub about, you don't have an address for them anyway, you've got to wait for a call from them. (or did I mis-understand this)

    Starting a TV Station... how to get it out?

    Mini 1, Did you really think someone put up a $500 million satellite just so we all can bounce a free signal off of it?

    Starting a TV Station... how to get it out?

    Not a chance, you blew it yourself by saying it was just a fun thing. No company is going to get involved with a project just so you can have fun. And you would need some outside company to help if you would have any chance to get up on a satellite. Without that satellite link you would not...

    $60,000 Satellite Dish on Ebay

    My guess is it belongs to some academic or other goverment facility, that area rings a bell but I can't remember what for.

    What kind of cable is this?

    Plenum cable is rated for commercial use where the ceiling is a drop type and the entire area above it is used for air return (without return ductwork). If the cieling has return ductwork then a standard cable can be used. The code CMP will appear on the side of the cable. If it has CATV then...

    Inserting surveillance camera feed into system

    Modulate The Camera Signal Prior To The Diplexer (rf In) I Assume If You Have A Diplexer You Also Have An Outdoor Antenna, If So The Modulated Signal Would Go Into The Same Diplexer Input As The Antenna.

    Inserting surveillance camera feed into system

    You will need to get your camera signal from the camera to the RF side of your diplexers. If you do not have RG59 between those locations then use the equipment I have mentioned above to send the signal via Cat5 (RG6 may work if the run is not too long but most RG6 is only copper clad rather...

    Question about my Coaxial Cable

    Unless it has some UV protection you may have problems later caused by the sun. Also unless it is direct burial cable avoid underground use and do not place it in your rain gutters.

    Inserting surveillance camera feed into system

    You may want to use UTP (twisted pair) for the standard line level cameras. This will allow you to send the camera signal down to the headend via one of the four twisted pairs in your CAT5. When you get the signal down to the headend you will most likely need a trap to open up three consecutive...

    Question concerning Florida

    I agree with korsjs, it would be better to not go down unless you are going to do it at no charge, and then only with the blessing of the city fathers. Because of a few very bad people (scum) even the most well meaning contractors are getting a bad name. I considered sending some (security)...

    Wiring question. Help!

    I would wait and do a little more investigation before installing new RG6. My guess is that those twin outlets are RG6. When I use to install for satellite in new construction I would run two RG6 and one CAT3 or CAT5 (for phone), the only other reason I can think of running two cables would be...
