Thank you. But I only have the input choice of firewire or component High Def (DTS). The DTS does seem to be doing the job pretty well and the cable box has a digital audio out so I can plumb it straight into my amp whenever I want. Unusual that the TV doesn't have a digital audio input, as...

Hi, My local cable company (Cablevision) provides HD cable boxes. They have the following outputs: Firewire USB HDMI/DVI Component co-ax (STD def) My Mitsubishi WS555-11 has the following inputs which I could use: Firewire Component some DTV inputs (not too sure what the difference...

Hi Everyone, It's time to get a digital recorder. I only have a couple of requirements: 1. It must have a DVD player/burner 2. It must be free service! I won't pay for TiVo! 3. It must work with a Cablevision cable box 4. If it can do HD I'd be really happy I have seen that Pioneer and...

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately my set doesn't have a signal meter. I played with the antenna last night and got improvement on the regular OTA picture, but no change on the HD. The fact that it is like this on *all* HD stations makes me wonder if something is wrong with the TV. Thankfully...

Hi Guys, We have a crappy Turk/Trek outdoor antenna with the usual splitters and the like so we can use the same co-ax for dish and OTA signals. Our HD signal is phenomenal, but we aren't getting *any* sound. We've had occasional problems with our set (Mitsubishi 52", mid range set with built...

Thanks. Yes I do have one of those wrap around the dish terk antenna. It was about the only option we had since our dish is mounted close to ground level. But that aside, according to antenna web, we are less than 15 miles from every tower...I'd have thought we could pick up from that range with...

I live in an area which has pretty bad regular OTA broadcast reception. I have to move the Turk (?) antenna around the dish a lot. Our HD is sometimes excellent, and other times impossible. Last night was a clear night and I couldn't get a decent HD signal at all. Would using a signal booster...

Email sent. Let's see what Velodyne has to say :) Thank you!

I have an 8" Velodyne powered sub. When it is turned on there is a low pitched (duh!) fairly low volume pulse/beep that comes from it. Perhaps 10-15s between each sound. It does this when the sub is hooked up to the amp and when the line in signal is removed. So it clearly is the sub. Is this...

We went through the same dilema. There are some differences between the non-HD-tuner models and the tuner-incorporated models other than the presence of the tuner. I do not remember what they are though! We love our mitsu :)

Hi! We have a so-called HD TV Trek external antenna which is attached to our dish. Once the signal comes in to the house it is split into TV and dish signal. TV signal goes into the VCR, into the TV coax in, gets looped out and into the HDTV input. Perhaps a simple question but...the OTA...

I would like to wall mount my speakers (on account of not wanting speaker stands 3 feet high to put them on the same level as my center chanel and to keep the rears in a position that they won't keep getting bumped into and knocked over) Anyway I have Energy Encore's (larger version of the...

Our antenna is attached to the dish so we aren't able to use what you suggested. I'm pretty happy with it (even though Terk appears to have a not so astounding reputation) and it pulls in regular and HD signals just fine :) It's just the fine tuning which is causing me some work!

Apart from the obvious of trial and error and lots of shouting indoors...is there anyway to set up a multi meter to an external antenna so the maximum signal strength can be used as a guide for tuning?
