    Question on hooking up 2 TV's to one Sat Dish

    A simple solution would be to run coax from the RF output of your sat receiver to the 2nd TV, then get a set of wireless remote extenders for control of the receiver from the remote location. If for some reason it's not feasible for you to get coax from the sat receiver to the 2nd TV, a...

    Composite video and S-Video at the same time???????

    Why not let them view the TV through the RF coaxial output of your cable box? All they'd need to do is make sure the TV is on channel 3 (or 4, depending on which channel is unused in your area). Vin

    Please Suggest A DVD/VCR Combo for Mom & Dad

    I also have the Zenith. I caught an unadvertised sale of $144 (regular price was $159 at the time but it seems they've dropped the price...see link). I have it connected to a 20" Toshiba TV in my kitchen. I'm very happy with the Zenith...if you do a comparison I think you'll find that the...

    32" TV for under $500

    Shane, I don't know if it's possible to pass an interlaced signal via DVI....I would think not but I really don't know. Maybe someone else will chime in. Vin

    Question about satellite receivers........:confused:

    I recently replaced one of my older Hughes boxes with a DD capable (optical output) Samsung SIR-S75. Channel tuning is very fast, has a great menu system, audio and video quality very good, etc., etc., etc......I can't think of anything about it that I don't like. I also own a Sony A55...

    Last Comic Standing??

    Dat sends another one packing! He's creaming the competition with 70+% of the audience votes the last two weeks....the crowd loves this guy! I thought Geoff had a pretty good set too but it seems Dat is the man! This is definitely getting interesting.... Anyone else still watching? Vin

    Last Comic Standing??

    I'm assuming the audience that chose Dat over Dave was hearing the both of them for the first time. Having watched the show from the beginning I think Dave is clearly the most talented of the bunch but his last set would not have made a good first impression on me. Dat, on the other hand had a...

    Digital TV on par with DirecTv, are you kidding me!!!!

    Michael, I know exactly where you're coming from....I dumped cable for DirecTV about 5 years ago and couldn't be happier about that decision. Somehow, I'm not surprised to hear that Cablevision (I'm assuming we're served by the same company) hasn't gotten any better! (They do offer great...

    Satellite with component/s video outs as good as coax?

    Steve, consider yourself lucky.....the PQ from coax with some sat receivers is very good, almost as good as S-video, with others the coax connection is far inferior to S-video and composite. I recently experienced this when I upgraded an old Hughes box that had very good coax PQ. (I was...

    Broadcasting from a DirecTiVo unit

    Thanks Robert, I guess from the lack of response to my question, not a lot of people are doing this. I've had the coax out from one of my DirecTV receivers feeding my kitchen TV for some time now, a very simple hook up, works great. The reason for my question is that after reading the info...

    Broadcasting from a DirecTiVo unit

    Is anyone using a modulator like the Avcast to broadcast recorded programs from a DTiVo to other TVs? Can this be done with a DirecTiVo unit? I'm considering this because I often record (VHS) TV shows in one room and then watch them in another room. I'd like to maintain this flexibility with...
