It's got at least one luxury feature that some real cars I've owned

Re: [MBZ] OT: Re: dijatul

[Rich Thomas]

That's another analog/digital issue for cable -- there are still a lot 
of analog channels on cable, even many old TVs can "tune" those channels 
in, but to get the digital you need a box, and many people don't want 
the box, and the digital "premium" channels are scrambled or compressed 
to keep from bootlegging it.  New TVs can tune in the digital and HD 
broadcasts that are sent in the clear on cable (e.g., your local 
broadcast channels), but for some reason not many (if any) TVs have the 
ability to accept tuner cards (cable companies resistance).  And no 
computer tuners with cable cards


The cable companies would like to go all digital to use that analog 
spectrum too, but that is a whole nuther bag of worms.


Satellite all needs a box to decode their digital scrambled transmissions.

I have yet to see in print any details regarding who initiated and who will
be benefitting financially from the conversion to digital TV in the USA.
Being not much of a reader for many years, I made a promise to myself that I
would rectify this once I retired.  I had cable TV many years ago but gave
it up as I found I wasn't watching much of what wasn't already available on
network TV stations.  Now that I'm retired and living somewhat in the
mountains where TV signals are rather weak and the housing development where
I reside does not permit outside antennae, I decided that I would live with
the two watchable TV stations I could receive using my indoor amplified
antenna as my primary purpose for TV is the evening news.  Surprise, both of
these TV stations were worse-totally unwatchable when the digital TV
converter box was hooked up (Note: This is something that they do not
advertise), so I had to resort to obtaining cable TV.  The nasty part came
when I attempted to return the digital TV converter box to Radio Shack as I
got a "that's impossible" and "rabbit ears are for rabbits" argument from
the owner.  It wasn't until a lady cashier interceded and indicated that
she'd handle the return that I was actually able to return the digital TV
converter box.  I wonder if a portion of the monthly bill all of us who are
forced into either Dish or cable TV are paying is going to whoever is
responsible for this conversion?  I previously would shop very seldom at RS,
but now will go purposely go elsewhere.

Re: [MBZ] OT - Programmable Remote Reviews?

[Redghost]

I have a Harmony.  It works fine, but being an older model is sort of  
wonky to get control over multiple device usage.


Example.  You can set up so that multiple devices power up together -  
Watch TV - which powers up the HDTV, DVR, Sat Box, Sound system - All  
fine and good, but to change channel, you have to swap back to DVR or  
Sat Box.  Volume up needs swap to that.  No good integration on the  
older remote.  Maybe the newer LCD remote will do.


Cool thing is that you just go to the web site, enter you hardware and  
how you want it to link together to do things.  It sucks all the  
codes, pops them in line and you can do one button launch.


Example - Master bath video - TV, sat box, DVD, lighting - Can tell it  
I want DVD, so it powers up only TV and DVD, lowers lighting.  Want  
TV, same thing but Sat box, no DVD.  Music, just DVD player through  
speakers.

Anybody out there recently bought or used one of the Rhapsody or  
Logitech programmable remotes?


One of my partners has a HUGE AV system at his house that was  
installed several years ago - stereo, DISH network, HDTV  
(projection), DVD, VCR, etc., etc.  Along with all this hardware are  
about 20 remotes, or so it seems.


When we go over there to watch a movie or something on TV, I think  
it's just serendipity that he gets everything working together, or  
so it seems.  He's not a techie sort of guy either, which just  
compounds things.


I told his wife that I would research these things for her and  
recommend one (that I will no doubt be setting up and installing,  
I'm sure.)

Re: [MBZ] Strange block heater

[Christopher McCann]

The 400W seems to work just great.

Not sure if Rusty has both cords.

I know the sound you're talking about and I listen for it too.
