    ISF Calibration and extended warranty

    DIY Cables Vs. Monster Cables

    HDTV box acting strange

    Thanks for the reply, I traced my cables for a loose or bad connection and found out what the problem was. I had installed a Rat Shack adjustable attenuator to the red cable to eliminate "Red Push" and the attenuator was the problem. Thanks, Larry
