    Audio delays on NBC OTA shows

    Thanks for the information Mike. I do have friends with the STB and I'll pass that along to them. Not sure if they were aware of that fix. Definitely need to figure out how to fix the most watched channel in the house. PS. Just watching SVU and seeing it again, yet not as pronounced as previous.

    Oh, forgot to write. Last night's ER did also have the same delays. As for CBS things were just fine.

    Audio delays on NBC OTA shows

    Pete, It was HD OTA and the night I posted it was Frasier I was watching. I'm going to wait for ER tonight to see if it's still there or not. Steve

    Audio delays on NBC OTA shows

    Hi all, My wife's pointed this out to me on a few occasions and tonight I saw it for myself. Watching the prime time NBC shows over OTA I was seeing delays in all audio. When I flipped to ABC, CBS, PBS, etc things were just fine. If I watched through AT&T cable the audio was fine too. Any...

    Speaker recommendations for new family room

    Thanks for the idea Tom. Within the next 2 weeks all will be finished and it'll be time to move all the gear into the new room. I'm going to give it an honest listen to see how they perform, both music and movie/TV. I maybe surprised. If not then I'm going to look at the M50, and see what the...

    Speaker recommendations for new family room

    Thomas, I've got the MC300s as fronts & center with the S300s as the rears. For the size room they run in I like their performance. I have the Onkyo 898 controlling the show; am thinking of adding a power amp at some point (after the wallet fills up again :) ). Again, I'm happy with their...

    Speaker recommendations for new family room

    Hi all, We're just finishing up an addition to our house that is getting us a family room that's 16'x24' with a boxed cathedral ceiling (starts at 7'6" and goes to 10'). Currently I have Cambridge Soundworks Newton series for fronts, center, rear and sub. Works pretty OK for the room it's in...

    How to polish marble??

    Mark, To do the edges is not that difficult and can be done at home. It all depends on how rough the edges are. If it's really rough you have to knock down most of the pits and grooves with a belt sander using a heavy (if really gouged) to fine belt. Wipe or brush off the dust from the...

    Speaker Stands

    Mark, Do your mains have a screw hole in the back, kinda like for mounting to a tripod? A friend has speakers from Cambridge Soundworks which have this screw-hole in the back. He bought their Newton stands for about $80. The stands have an "L" bracket on the top. You screw the back of the...

    Is my digital cable really digital?

    I too have that DCT2224 Motorola unit. Everytime I've called AT&T to try to get them to give me a new box they give me a run around and I eventually get no where. Once they passed me off to someone who fed me stuff about how things may be different after the Comcast merger. But still no box...
