Thanks. Antennaweb.org recommeded a medium range directional antenna. The one I am looking at is rated to 45 miles and the antennas are 25 miles away, so I should be fine. Antennas Direct said they would swap it for me if I needed a larger antenna, but he thought it would be overkill and advised...

I am currently looking for an antenna to use with my Directv HD receiver. The first thing I am wondering is can anyone in SE Michigan (I am in the Clarkston area) tell me what type of luck they have had with OTA HD? I am 25 miles from the furthest tower I want to receive a signal from and...

For about the last week and a half my Toshiba 65HDX82 has had a quick green flash in the center of the screen during shutdown. I spoke with three Toshiba technicians (at three different shops) who all told me they didn't think it was an issue and not to worry unless the tv has a problem. One...

I am considering making a convergence overlay grid for my Toshiba 65hdx82 to assist with the 56 point convergence. My question is which material is best for making this grid - plexi or acetate? Also what is the best way to attach it to the tv? Once I make the grid, do I do a convergence for...

I was reading info on how to do the 56 point convergence, and it mentioned you can turn off the lamps individually. I am able to turn off the green and red lamp, but I can't seem to get the blue one to turn off. The info I saw said to press the "ent" key to turn off blue, but that didn't work...

I tried using the auto calibration feature on my Pioneer Elite vsx-45tx for the first time today and I got an error on the first screen when it tested the microphone. If I retry it gives me the same error. If I tell it to continue it tells me "error" on the main speakers and says "no" for all of...

Thanks for the awesome support guys. I live in Clarkston Michigan. There are no authorized dealers here to support. I guess I got what I deserved because those of us who live in outlying areas don't deserve the convenience of purchasing over the internet when something isn't available locally...

I purchased the receiver from 50topsellers.com. Quite honestly, I have been shopping "mail order" for years (LONG before the internet) and should have known better than to trust such a low price. Especially from a retailer I new nothing about. Grey market products don't always bother me, but...

I just looked at some pics someone had posted in another thread of the back of this unit - no "seal" on the lower edge, but an obvious difference in the "authentic" serial number sticker.

Well, I've been floating on cloud nine lately - I got my brand new Toshiba 65HDX82 yesterday - looks awesome!! Comcast confirmed my appointment to receive HD cable next Tuesday - after buying my dish back for $400:D Lastly - I knew UPS would be delivering my new Pioneer Elite vsx-45tx today. How...

There is no charge for the HD box. Because I am "selling them my dish" they will hook up 3 tvs for free (because I have not had cable before). The HD box is included at no charge, but each additional box has a fee of around $6 per month.

I spoke with Comcast today about ordering their new HD cable box. they offered me an awesome deal - trade in my DTV dish for $400, plus no hook up fees for up to 3 tvs. My question is about the stations that are available. The agent who took my order told me that I would receive the following...

I am getting my HD from Comcast on Tuesday. Does anyone know what type of connections are on this box? Can I hook an OTA antenna up to it to receive additional local channels that are HD? How about the sound outputs. Is there a digital out. Thanks for your help. I am trying to get all of my...

Well, I took the plunge today. I went ahead and purchased the Toshiba 65HDX82. I couldn't believe the deal I got. I went to ABC Warehouse, showed them a printout from the web showing them the tv for $2441 plus $250 for shipping. The salesman came back and said they would match the price plus...

Has anyone found any of the remote codes for the Pioneer Elite VSX-45TX? I haven't re-programmed my pronto in about 3 years and I am not familiar with all of the latest spots to check for codes. I tried prontoedit.com and couldn't find any of the Elite products. Any help would be greatly...

How important is in home shipping on a 65" tv? I'm more concerned with shipping damage than getting it into the house. Has anyone ordered a tv from the net and had it delivered curb side? Did they allow you to check for damage before they left? I'm seriously considering ordering the 65" Toshiba...

Thanks Jan. I knew before I posted that I needed to make the decision on my own. For now I have put a cheap GE 27" tv in the spot where I had my 50" and it has been painful. I think that is why I have been wanting to move up to a big screen HDTV. Normally I would wait, but I know these tvs are...

I am in the process of updating my home theater and am looking for some tv advice. I just ordered a new Pioneer Elite 45tx receiver to replace my old Dolby Surround system that was starting to show its age. Wouldn't you know it - right after I plop down a chunk of money the picture on my 50"...
