 Hello Tom. I bought one of these just a few days ago for my tv here in the
 office. I was able to hook it up myself but when I turned on the tv after
 switching it to chanel 3 and turned on the box there was no sound and I
 pressed all the buttons on the remote and the box and I couldn't get it to
 scan the chanels. So I had to wait till a friend came over and he briefly
 glanced at the manual and pressed a couple of buttons on the remote and it
 took off. We have 10 regular chanels here in Sacramento and it found 5
 digital chanels. I bought my box at best buy and it's an Insignia. Radio
 shack, walmart and circuit city are also selling the boxes with the cupon
 program. I live on the first floor of an apartment building so an outside
 antenna is not an option. It works pretty well with my rabbit ears but I
 have noted some drop out on some of the chanels so I had to tweak the
 antenna to find the best signal. Lets say I am watching our chanel 10 here
 and I want their digital weather chanel. I just type 102 and that gives me
 the second chanel. All in all I am pleased with the box and it sounds 
 great
 although my tv here in the office is just a small 13 inch mono set that I
 bought when I first married my wife in 1990. Depending on the model of the
 box you buy you may be able to get it running yourself but this one here 
 is
 menus so be aware incase you do need sighted assistance. I was able to 
 find
 the insignia manual online so the manuals should be available online in 
 pdf
 format.

High Tom,
That is something that I am wondering about too as well.
I called and spoke to someone at RadioShack, but he said he didn't know.
I don't really want to buy another TV set either.
But if I have to, I will.
But I wish that I could get a 19 inch HD LCD TV cheaper then $500.

RE: DTV Converter Boxes

2008-04-30 Thread Cornell Ligon

Hello,
You ought to be able to buy at least a 30' model for $500 or less. also, I'm 
figuring as long as you can get a signal into the converter box and have 
something to play it back, TV ought not be necessary. I've ran vcr's with no TV 
set using connection via my stereo to pick up TV sound.
Last, if you have a cable or satellite set top box, no digital to analog 
converter box is needed, because the set top box does the conversion from the 
provider. I will say though, when getting a set top box, I alwaays verify audio 
out connections to run into my Home theater system.
 
More info can be found at antennaweb.com

Re: DTV Converter Boxes

2008-04-30 Thread Christopher Chaltain
I'm sure I'm straying off topic, but you shouldn't have any trouble 
getting a HD LCD TV for less than $500. For example, on woot.com today 
they have a 32 inch LCD HD TV for $459.99 plus $5 shipping. The brand is 
Digital Lifestyles, which I've never heard of before. It may be the case 
that 19 inch LCD HD TV's aren't any cheaper than the larger ones though. 
Good luck!

Hi Everyone,

Part 8 of my GoldWave series is now ready for download.  It's shorter than the 
other parts but I think you will find it useful still.  I talk about fixing the 
problem people have been reporting with GW 5.22 and 5.23 where they get audio 
dings and Jaws doesn't function correctly.  I also show how to get your peak 
recording levels while you are recording with GoldWave.

The direct download link is:

High Donald,
I don't remember who it was, but someone said something about having a 
satellite and or a cable box, a DTV converter is not needed.
The problem with this for me is, I have Dish Network.
I get some loco channels, but it wont pick up WCJV.
Here in Lake City Florida, you have to have either cable or an antenna to 
get that channel.
I will check out the website you posted and see what they have.
My best regards.

computer but not in a standard cd player. it is as though the disc didn't 
finalize for whatever reason. I compiled the disc with no gaps between the 
tracks and used disc at once. I can't find an option to finalize the disc. I am 
normally a roxio user so I don't know much about Nero yet.

 Hi Everyone,

 Part 8 of my GoldWave series is now ready for download.  It's shorter than 
 the other parts but I think you will find it useful still.  I talk about 
 fixing the problem people have been reporting with GW 5.22 and 5.23 where 
 they get audio dings and Jaws doesn't function correctly.  I also show how 
 to get your peak recording levels while you are recording with GoldWave.

 The direct download link is:

Hi
Are there any fairly accessible and reliable multi track editors which will 
take inputs from various soundcards and mike inputs?

Re: DTV Converter Boxes

2008-04-30 Thread Brent Harding
I'm wondering also how one might get both boxes hooked to a single TV? As I 
see it, you're probably paying around $6.99 to Dish for the locals that you 
do get without the one they don't carry for whatever reason, in adition to 
whatever package of other channels you would subscribe to. Apparently, I 
have the option of getting Dish at this place, they probably have it in the 
wire with the free 25 analog channels or something. Next year, how can I 
hook up a converter box and the Dish receiver both to the same input on my 
TV, since it only has one coax in? Can I just use a splitter and set one to 
channel 3 and the other to 4 to switch between them, since my TV has only 
one input? I find it odd to pay extra to add locals when cable always has 
them no matter what package you took.

Thanks.

 High Donald,
 I don't remember who it was, but someone said something about having a
 satellite and or a cable box, a DTV converter is not needed.
 The problem with this for me is, I have Dish Network.
 I get some loco channels, but it wont pick up WCJV.
 Here in Lake City Florida, you have to have either cable or an antenna to
 get that channel.
 I will check out the website you posted and see what they have.
 My best regards.
  John.

I bought a refurbished 19-inch Westinghouse LCD flat panel HD TV
 for $225 from a web site

 http://www.ecost.com

 Understandably, some would be reluctant to buy a  refurbished
 unit.  But ours has worked flawlessly.  We have had it for more
 than two months.  It has both a digital and analog tuner.  Also,
 it can be used as a computer monitor and has all sorts of input
 and output connectors.  We are delighted with it.

 High Tom,
 That is something that I am wondering about too as well.
 I called and spoke to someone at RadioShack, but he said he
 didn't know.
 I don't really want to buy another TV set either.
 But if I have to, I will.
 But I wish that I could get a 19 inch HD LCD TV cheaper then
 $500.
  John.

 Subject: DTV Converter Boxes


 Has anyone purchased any of the DTV converter boxes that are
 available in the United States so an analog television set
 can be used with the new DTV system?  So far, it seems like
 they all require a television set to be connected to them.
 I'm hoping there might be, at least, a few that can be used
 as a stand alone television audio only receiver.

 For those not aware of it, all analog television transmission
 in the United States will be turned off next February.  Two
 forty dollar coupons can be obtained to help purchase two
 analog to DTV converter boxes for those who can't or don't
 want to buy a new television set.

 The original upper television channels were auctioned off to
 telecommunication and other companies for something in the
 order of eighteen billion dollars.  Wonder if other countries
 are doing something similar to this?

 Thanks,

 Tom
