I have a Rotel 965 processor and I am not getting any signal to my right front cable. I have swapped the cables for my front speaker, and the problem stays with the right front channel on th processor, not with either the RCA cable to the amp, the amp channel or the speaker itself.   Both...

I have a Linksys wireless media bridge (WMLS11B) that is having trouble staying connected to my wireless network. When I try to play music, the display shows no server exists. I am using the MusicMatch software that came with the bridge. I am wondering if the problem is with my bridge, or if it...

I haven't played my PS2 much over the past year and a half or so, and now it has extremely slow load times. When I turn on the unit, it will take 5 minutes or so to load up to the main game screen, and each time I make a selection, it is another several minutes to get to the next menu. It does...

Has anyone tried putting their sub inside a sofa? I have an old sleeper sofa that I was considering removing the fold up bed and putting a sub box in instead. The bed is not at all comfortable, and most of the HT sub boxes discussed in this forum are coffin sized anyway. This seems like it...

I have a Linksys music bridge that I use to stream MP3 music into my living room. The problem is that it frequently crashes. I reboot of my computer usually fixes it, so that leads me to think it is the software causing the problem. I am using the music match software (free version) that came...

I just bought my wife an HP laptop for Christmas. I braved the nightmare of Best Buy the day after THanksgiving, and got a good deal. Now I am trying to get it set up before I wrap it up. I would like to get rid of all the crap that comes pre-installed, all the trial software and ads for things...

I have been running BTV in my HTPC for 2 years now, and I have had an occasional stutter in audio mostly, occasionally in video as well. I am using an AIW video card, and I have a gig of RAM in the system. I know from this and the snapstream forums that the AIW card with its software encoding is...

I am running BTV 4.0 and at times the audio will stutter when I am replaying recorder shows. I believe this may be due to my harddrive being fragmented. I have tried the installed windows defragmenter, as well as the defragmenter in System Mechanic 6. The map in both defragmenters appear to show...

I am reloading Windows XP pro on my Father-in-law’s computer. The OS is installed, but I cannot get the computer on my network. I have set the network settings, the workgroup is correct, and the computer is named. Yet when I plug into the router, I cannot access the internet, nor can I see my...

When I record shows at the highest quality setting (~3GB/hour,) the quality is still pretty grainy. I notice this mostly while watching sporting events, but it is present in all my recordings. I am using an ATI AIW video card for the video capture. Would a hardware encoding card, such as a...

I just set up a network at home. I am trying to network my HTPC and my desktop. I performed the network setup on my desktop, and made a setup disk. I used this setup disk to do the setup on my HTPC. Now I can see my HTPC in "view workgroup computers" but when I try to access the HTPC through...

I was looking at the Linksys wireless music system. I would like to be able to play my MP3s through my stereo using my wireless network. This product from Linksys (http://www.linksys.com/products/prod...id=38&prid=631) would do what I want, but are there other products that would do this as...

I just rebuilt my computer, new motherboard and CPU. When I brought the computer back up, windows won't start. I put the hard drive into another computer, and the same result. I am going to buy another hard drive and get the computer running, but is there any way to recover my data off the...

I would like to be able to watch the shows I record on my HTPC, using beyond TV, on my bedroom TV. I am looking at Beyond TV link, and I am wondering what is the minimum specs for a system that will run Beyond TV link. I was thinking of burning DVDs of my shows and watching them from my DVD...

I have been using Beyond TV on my HTPC, and it has really changed the way I watch TV. Now I can watch on my own schedule, without Tivo's monthly expense. I recently installed a DVD burner in my system, and I am looking at using DVD"s to archive some programs, but I have some questions...

I had huge virus problems with my HTPC, and decided to format and start over. I have a Radeon AIW 9700 video card, but I cannot locate the driver CD. I tried to get the drivers off the AIT webpage, but I cannot get the TV function to work. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. If anyone has any...

I just got an e-mail from snapstream saying that BTV 3.5 was available for download. Being still on dialup, I have not had a chance yet to download it. Has anyone tried 3.5 yet, if so what do you think of it?

I am thinking about making the switch to Linux, and I am wondering what DVD/CD burning software is available for Linux.

I have a Rotel RTC-965 and it is having problems with surround. I bought it used and when I got it, I was able to watch one movie in 5.1 surround. Now it will only play in pro logic. Has anyone else experienced anything similar, or have any input? I have changed absolutely nothing from the first...

I have been using my HTPC as a PVR, and I am wondering what everyone is using for software for theirs? I am just using the software that came with my video card (AIW 9700) and I would like to know if there are any programs which will edit out commercials, or will fast-forward easier.

I would like to build a HTPC, but have never built a computer before. I am not sure how to choose a motherboard, or other components. I want to use the machine as a PVR, for playing MP3s, and some gaming, as well as watching DVDs. I also am not sure which video card would work best.

I have a channel on my amp that I am not currently using, and I am looking to build a sub. So, what I am wondering is this. Can I use this amp for my sub? I have been looking over old posts here, and I have seen references to a rumble filter. I would assume that amps intended for use with a sub...

I have a Paradigm PS-800 sub, and am thinking of building a new box for it. My thought on it is this; I don't know what I want for a final sub (sonotube, ported box, or PR) so I thought I could play around with the one I have, maybe do a couple boxes for it. This would let me know what setup I...

On my Onkyo 656 reciever, the left front channel is not working. I switched wires for the mains (at the reciever) and it is the reciever, and not the wire or the speaker. This happened a couple months ago, and I took it to an Onkyo certified repair center and, after they had it for a month and a...
