    How the hell do you do that when it isn't broadcast in 1080p?

     

    Maybe it was 720p. Stream was advertised as 2500k whatever that means. Picture was crystal clear on my 60" tv.

     

    p2p is how.

    I must be doing something wrong. I spent 20 minutes trying most everything and only 2 actually streamed. :(

     

    Yours must be broken or something. I've been watching mine lately with no issues. Used icefilms for tv shows and watched the Houston game in 1080p last night.

    Anyone ever use that allconnect service you get transferred to after setting up electric through AEP? The lady i spoke to claimed that their rates were the best in the business for TWC internet. When i told her no she basically told me too bad, im signing you up anyway. When i yelled at her she said okay, and hung up.

     

    Later that evening i got online to TWCs website and found a faster internet package for $10/mo cheaper. I even got to install everything myself that same day. Bastards. Avoid Allconnect at all costs.

    Maybe it's because I'm inside of 270, but we have HD rabbit ears in our living room behind the flatscreen and it picks up OSU games just fine.

     

    Hell i was picking up channel 6 w/o issues up in marion with rabbit ears sitting behind the TV. I had a cheapo amplifier helping.

  15. Help me keep my dad from making a huge mistake.

    Dad's can be stubborn. My dad had cash in hand and was on his way to Meijer to wire money to some guy for a truck he thought he was about to buy. Pretty much had to scream at him before i got it.

     

    Not saying you need to scream, but present some evidence. Link him to some LS forums with folks blowing their engine up. Otherwise, sit back and when shit blows up, say "I told you so" with a smug look on your face.

    I've been doing research on the hd antennas. I didn't realize there were so many options. Directional, Omni-directional, powered, etc. So, what do you use, recommend, any suggestions on installation, etc?

     

    I am in Canal, but not in a housing development. I am surrounded by farm land. Ranch style house. A few tall trees, but not a forest. I was thinking about a long range Omni-directional, but read that those can pick up a lot of interference, which may result in a not so good picture.

     

    Since I currently have DirecTV, which I am working on cancelling, I was thinking I could use that post to mount the HD antenna on. Would that work?

     

    Do all of these antennas have to be plugged into power? How does that work? I don't have an outlet outside for one. I can't really find any info on the power piece.

     

    Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

     

     

    On the power piece,

     

    From my experience... there is a single coax cable that runs from the antenna into your home. You then plug the coax into this box that should be included which has a power plug and output jack. Then you run a coax form the box to your tv. That box serves as a controller (if its motorized) and an amplifier. somehow they run a control wire through the coax.

     

    I had a cheapo from microcenter that worked like this. Dunno where you live, but a simple flat window antenna might work just as well.

  17. Is 1080 HD?

    They didn't put the line filter back on. They'll send someone out eventually.

     

    But then you can just remove it again yourself :)

     

    I did TWC's DIY kit. When i picked up my modem the lady at the TWC place said that since the line was already active they wont be sending a tech out.

     

    But hey, if they do, where would i find the line filter :gabe:

  22. Wall Mounted TV Stands

    For those of you that have your TV mounted on the wall, what are you using the hold your cable box, media centers, etc....? I will be mounting my 60" tv to the wall in my new home, but cannot decide what to put under it. Ideally something slim as there is not a ton of space in the living room. A floating shelf would be cool, but haven't found one i liked.

    No longer own a home so I have no use for this any more and I dont feel like paying to keep it in storage. Scotts by John Deere mower. 17.5 HP Kohler engine. 42" cutting deck. Approximately 500 hours. Cuts straight and even. Reverse pedal, headlights, etc... Only bad is the seat is a little cracked and there is the tiniest bit of idle surge but never bothered me enough to try to fix it. All parts are available through your local John Deere dealer. 5 Gal. gas can included.

     

    No haggle CR Price: $400. For $500 ill throw in a 2500 lb winch and a snow blade, but you will have to make a bracket for it. (Paging Adam)
