I have a JBL L8400P. I got it in April 2009 and it just had its third failure. The first was a melted voice coil and the second was a friend amp. Now, it goes out of stand-by, then immediately back in, which makes me think a capacitor failed, but haven't taken it apart yet.
So my question is...
Thanks everyone. The problem was that the Hauppage card was defective. The digital tuner didn't work. Splitting the channels found it. The first time I tried was before I hooked up the confusingly labelled ATI digital feed, though, which is why I didn't figure it out earlier. I've written to the...
Still nothing. The hauppage has 3 posts: FM, digital and analog. The ATI has two posts, digital and analog. All are hooked up but the FM and while it detects the digital tuners, it doesn't detect any channels. I copied the channel lit off the TV, sticking to the upper channels to make sure they...
Oddly enough, the TV picks up 11.1 as well (with picture). I'll try again entering some of the higher numbers. It's annoying because my splitter is not sufficient to do the TV and all four posts on the tuners at the same time.
That was partially the problem. The misleading labelling and lack of a manual are just begging for this confusion. I hooked it up and scanned again. This time I founf three digital channels (11.1, 11.2 & 11.3) which it named HD, SD and SD. All of them told me no signal, though.
I have both connected on the WinTV card. The ATI card seems to be a single hybrid tuner and the other post is FM radio. I have the cable connected to the TV side on there.
That's basically what I was doing. Silicondust shows more or less the same list of channels I get on my TV for Mediacom in Cedar Rapids, (a few are different, but I assume the list is just out of date). I can add the channels, but when I attempt to view them, it tells me there's no signal. I've...
I am using Mediacom. I'm not sure what you are describing. The auto-generated list only has analog titles. If I try to manually add channels with the frequencies I pulled off the TV, it tells me no signal. I've been tryign to piece together how thsi works online. If they were present, but I...
I have a recently built HTPC running Windows 7 32-bit ultimate. I am attempting to record Clear QAM. I have two tuner cards in it: an ATI TV Wonder 650 (PCI) and a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1600. Media Center detects the analog and digital tuners, but when I go to scan channels, I only end up with...
Doesn't that receiver also take 7.1 PCM? It should be a lot easier to find a player that decodes the new codecs internally and outputs PCM than one with analog outputs. That would also simplify the cabling. You would only need 2 HDMI cables.
I am in the process of getting some new speakers. The plan is to get 5.1 now, then down the road, move the front to surround and get some tower speaker for a 7.1 set-up. Eventually, when they are surrounds, these speakers will be wall-mounted, but for now there's nothing to mount them to. I...
Aren't most HDTV's flat panels, which have no overscan? Granted, there are some CRTs out there and you could have this problem with an RPTV, but do you have a figure?

PS3 doesn't upscale SD material on blu-ray. It sends it raw to the TV and the TV decides how to play it. Your DVD player can't play Blu-ray, so comparisons are moot. PS3 will upscale DVDs.
I tried to do the SD oen a number of years ago, but my collection is about 2000 titles now and it quicly became impossible. I'm still at 110 for Blu and may be able to pull it off. We shall see. * 20090103: Live Free or Die Hard. I love this series, but without cussing, it not really the...
My understanding is the framing isn't the same as the theatrical version when you do that. If it were, most constant-height set-ups wouldn't have a problem.
How is the PS3 connected to your receiver? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you are using optical, which can't bitstream surround PCM or TrueHD or DTS Master Audio, so it's being mixed down to two-channel PCM. Just don't use the AFD settign until you get a better receiver.
Carrie can be had for $10 right now on Amazon's buy more and save sale if you are willing to buy nine other movies with it. I still didn't get it because I figure I'd watch it maybe once before a new edition with extras (and a more sensible codec) is out.
