How come cable boxes are so many different sizes? My bro has an HD one that is big and loud. My aunt has a set top box that is also big but not as big as the HD, and I have a really small one.
This is so frustrating to me because it's not something that occurs regularly but it happens enough that it is annoying. Certain channels will have bad reception while others are perfect. It's not just high band channels either. The one time they came out it played fine (darn it). The next...
These guides don't tell me hardly anything about what is on. I'm going OTA by choice but I sure do miss the more informational guides that I had when I subscribed to cable.
I'm getting some strange error message about the box not connecting. It's intermitent. Am hoping for ideas on what might be wrong or how to fix it. We're never home when they want to come out.
If you have suggestions, please give them. I have read some of the discussions here and went to this tvfool site. With my antenna, I should be getting several channels that I'm not. I'm not getting any of the 'yellow' ones and only about half of the green ones.

My kid had a bout of time out rage and took out the remote to the DTV Pal converter box we have. This thing doesn't have buttons to work it. What can I do beside toss the thing and buy a new converter box?
I have a new Samsung TV that looks real sharp. I have only one complaint. When I watch it it looks like everyone is so broad. It really looks odd and awkward. The TV is a 32 incher. Is this normal?
For Christmas a friend gave me a DVR but I can't figure out how to hook it up to my TV. It's an older Zenith TV (analog style). I have a good, working antenna so no reception issues. I only want to be able to record on the DVR.
What is the best way/option/service for Internet TV? There are a lot of names bandied about, but regardless of price, which is actually the best? Money isn't a problem.
On the internet I see a lot of Vizio and LG TVs but I've never heard of them before. Are they as good as the more well known manufacturers? They cost less. Can I trust these units?
I've noticed that the picture from my HD cable box looks real grainy if I'm closer than say 4 or 5 feet. It's not all of the channels but it is most of them. Shouldn't I have a crystal clear picture?
Check out this Philips PET729/37 – 7 Inch LCD Portable TV / DVD Player. It says it gets free TV. I'm looking for something small and portable like this. Do you think it's a good deal and reliable?
I plan to replace my old TV antenna very soon. I was thinking of selling it for scrap metal or something. The thing is useless. I wonder how much it weighs. It's just an average antenna.
