I'm in the market for some new silica packets. Should I get the 2003 or wait for the 2004's to show up? ps I heard the 2004's can absorb water from farther away than the 2003. Is that true?

Silica gel is nearly harmless, which is why you find it in food products. Silica, or silicon dioxide (SiO2), is the same material found in quartz. The gel form contains millions of tiny pores that can adsorb and hold moisture. Silica gel is essentially porous sand. Silica gel can adsorb about...

Silica packets absorb moisture. I also read somewhere that they absorb salsa. I wonder if they also absorb the chunky vegatables in the salsa or if you have to pick those up once the moisture is out. Probably just crush the vegatables into a powder and suck them up with a vacuum.

Before I tear apart my TV, what is the best way to access the lenses. Do I start in the front or the back? Thanks

Thanks for the kindness about jumping in. Im glad to see the interest. In my opinion I dont think too much damage could occur (scissor or knives omitted :D ) But I can say that I felt my TV was sitting on a nude beach with its screen cover off. ha ha. Old RPTV's didnt have this screen FYI...

Cool, I will give it a try.

I have a mitsubishi 46809 and would like to remove the protective screen to reduce the GLARE on the TV that I experience during the daytime. It has been slightly upsetting while watching sunday ticket to have so much glare. I am going to try and cover the windows, but then it becomes a dungeon...

Sorry it took so long to get back... As a matter of fact, when my Hughes reciever finally downloaded the new update software, it changed my settings, and now I was only set as having two lnb's. So I simply changed it to say Dish 3, and whammo, SHOHD was back. Thanks for the help. But...

Well, I subscribed to the Sunday Ticket and got 4 months free of premium (only on first month right now) and at the time I ordered, I was told that HBOHD and SHOHD would be moving to the HD package, and that would be the only way to get those two. As you have read, other contacts say different.

I do have to agree that is the way it is written, but I was hoping for some different interpretation. By the way then, why dont I have SHOHD on my premium service. (I know I should call, but Im lazy) Its not there any more. 543 says unavailable.

Very well put Michael TLV, I hope someday to have enough money where I can support the professional industry and stop doing all the work myself :)

I think this is a good topic even though Matt took back the equipment. Hopefully some good actions will be mentioned for people with similar results.

The easiest (yet hardest for some people to do) is take down the contrast. I was not a believer at first because it reduces the brightness, but it really helps to bring out color and clarity. I have a 46" Mitsubishi and the picture with a toshiba Prog DVD is awesome at 6' away. (and HD is...

Well any new HD service is good news:)

Tino, ha ha Im starting to really push HD and understand some of the negatives I have read for other channels in non HD. If you read my first post from a week ago I even liked regular SD directv channels. After a week though I can hardly stand em. (however they are very clear pq, but I have...

Mission impossible last night was uncropped. Also, I never watch My Wife and Kids or George Lopez, but last night I watched the whole round of them because they were in HD OTA. Very good showing.

I hope there is some true HD filmed content on when I demonstrate the tv, but I do enjoy the grainy look of film every once in a while (as long as it is clear in the case of HBOHD)

Thanks

There is a commercial that CBS runs on their OTA HD channel that looks amazing, so I think there is still more they can do with HD. But as I see it now, there are "loop holes" you could say between real HD and upconverted film. Ive read people complain about some movies on HBOHD and I dont think...

Where is a good place to get 12 gauge spool for reasonable price? I could get 100'. And...would it hurt to use 12 gauge for short runs?

wow, this opens so many doors... its hard to not try and start changing everything (good thing I did research and read about people ruining their sets first) I documented my changes well before I locked them in. Watched a few scenes from different movies and chose what looked best. The...

Yeah, I feel like Im talking to myself, but Im new to this and this is fun!!!:D I just wanted to add since this is a recording forum that I agree with DVI. Dont get me wrong I think it stinks, but I bought a DVD player for my dad, come to find out his tv doesnt even have S-video.:b One...

I really want to get the Sunday ticket that is only offered at Direct TV, That is all the NFL games for about 200$ which breaks down to 10$ a sunday. That is my only reason to go with DirectTV when I get an HD reciever. Some things weighing my decision are the Superdish coming out soon that...
