Problems with TV Tuner cards.?

Windows media center pc. Vista.


Auvitek ATSC tuner and Hauppauge HVR 1800.


The hauppauge has a radio tuner as well.


However, at any one time I can either have windows media center allow 1 TV tuner and the radio installed in WMC, or 2 TV tuners and no radio. In that case it says no radio tuner installed will have to go through tv tuner setup to set it up.


So I don't know what to do.


The radio tuner will work through the default application it installed with. But I want to use WMC to control it and both tv tuners. Anyone have this problem?

Problems with TV Tuner cards.?
Simply put, WMC isn't designed to handle that many devices. I believe Vista's version of WMC accomodates that setup but I haven't yet confirmed this.


Why does TV picture clip off edges?

We're watching a widescreen DVD on a widescreen TV (TV and DVD player are Sony) and the TV clips off the sides of the picture while our new MacBook does not - the computer shows more on the sides. The DVD player has been used with both HDMI cables and component cables. We've tried all the different zooming options on the TV, but no matter what, it still cuts off some of the side pictures.


Not cool! Suggestions?

Why does TV picture clip off edges?
You need to configure your DVD player and television settings.





Basically, you have to change the DVD player's video mode from 4:3 to 16:9.





Then, you must set the TV to display at full 16:9.





In addition, is the widescreen DVD anamorphic or not?
Reply:it seems like u did everthing u cud, now, u jus gotta call sony
Reply:there should be a function that brings the sides of the picture inward or outward. .


Best tv to get?

I am getting a brand new tv I just wanna know what is the best tv to get for gaming I want a big screen tv. Also amazing graphics for watching movies.

Best tv to get?
Asd - not enough info!


Do you live in the USA or?


What is your budget? It's a waste of time to recommend a 60" plasma when your budget is only $400 and it's a struggle to buy a quality 19" LCD.


Also, what screen size do you want/need? "Big screen" means 26" to some and 50"+ to others. Post answers to these questions and you might get a good, specific recommendation or two. Without this info, no one can realistically answer you. You'll just draw meaningless, inane answers like,"My biG scren visio 19' is to bitchin."
Reply:Here is a very accurate list of what are generally regarded (and reviewed) as the Top Lcd Brands in decending order: ****Sony, ****Samsung, ****Sharp,**** LG, ***Toshiba, ***Mitsubishi, **Panasonic,**Phillips,**Hitachi, **JVC, *Vizio, *Westinghouse, *Insignia,*Olevia





*= O.K. Brands


**= Good Brands


***= Better Brands


**** Best Brands








In my opinion you should stick to Samsung,Sony, or Sharp





P.S. check out the Samsung LN40A650!!(120 hz,1080p,50,000:1 contrast ratio,4ms response time) its one of the best lcds out there (i'll most likely be purchasing this model soon)





Let me know what you think
Reply:my big screen visio is totally bitchin'. you should buy one.

Take a look at American, English, French TV...


As for the "average Latin American" person, remember there's no such thing. Latin America is as diverse as you can imagine.

Reply:I guess the only Mexican channel you can get it SiTV.
Reply:Well, I would say that TV will always put what according to the society's standards, is considered good looking people on the screen. Last time I checked on my neighbors here in Arizona, none of them looks like Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba or Tyra Banks....





Also, keep in mind that makeup can do wonders.





TV industry will put on the screen whatever sells and good looking people sell on TV.
Reply:In mexico's all races I have white skin but that did not remove me mixity.





There are millions of Mexicans regarded as white but mixed like me, because at least we have an Indian ancestor.





But that does not make me more or less person, which is very true is that in MEXICO NO BLACK AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
Reply:Sorry to burst your bubble, on what you see on TV, but I think you have lots to learn about Mexican people,and the history of Mexico.


Also for you to say that the women in Mexico look nothing like the ones you see in person....tells me you have a lot to see.





and no i am not light skin white looking......but let me tell you that i am not your average brown lookin girl.





Sorry you have a lot more to see, and discover I encourage you go do that.
Reply:You didn't see black people on American soaps or sitcoms until the Cosby show either.
Reply:I think it has to do with their perception of beautiful, most of the men go ga-ga over light skin, blonde hair and blue eyes. And most men anywhere like the big boobs and butts.





I would relate it to US t.v. in this way, 60% of Americans are overweight- how many of the actresses in our Soap Operas are overweight? How many are more than a size 2??? The U.S. also has old people and balding men but you don't see them on daytime T.V. (unless you count doctor phil)





Sex and beauty sell no matter what country you are in.
Reply:What the heck are you talking about. There are no Mexican channels in the US because well.... we're in the US. They are called Spanish channels, and they consist of Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Colombians, ext ext.

Get Man Off the TV and Onto Me?

Men out there, why do you veg out in front of the TV? Why do you watch tv for several hours straight and then expect us to get frisky with you only after you are good and tired of the tv? What can we do to get you off the tv and onto us? I am quite frankly getting tired of hubby's tv addiction, can I do anything about it?

Get Man Off the TV and Onto Me?
I think that it's just a man's way to stop thinking about his day. Men tend to be very simple creatures. So when they're stressed, they need to decompress. Once they do, then they remember that they adore you and that they want to be with you. YOU are also a part of that relief! That's a good thing. You would rather be a part of their release than a part of the problem.





I would let my man know what you need. You won't get it all the time, but maybe you can request some Date Time BEFORE getting intimate. Because men see it as a release, but women need a little bit of love and affection. He probably doesn't understand where you're coming from, just as you don't get where he's coming from.
Reply:My wife lives for TV. Expecially Reality TV. And I HATE IT.





I wish I knew the answer to this question.
Reply:Get a TIVO. He can record all of his favorite shows and watch them later. Also best is that it has a pause button, if you feel the frisky coming on pause what he is watching and go to town

Reply:I'm anxious to see the answers you get. I have that problem myself. Hopefully all the guys aren't offline watching TV.
Reply:Oh boy. So I'm not alone!
Reply:Put a hammer through all the TVs in your house that may get the point across.
Reply:Their is something on your side that is more important to a guy than the TV.......You just have to find a way to present it to him that will peak his interest. Don't fuss or complain about what he is doing just go dress sexy ( that is up to you what to wear to turn him on) then don't stand in front of the TV....That is a NO NO.....but beside it. If he don't respond then sit beside him quietly and wait. Then if he don't acknowledge you start rubbing around his leg or what ever......you get the idea....Don't think of the TV as the enemy but as a competition to drive you to up your game....In the end it will be worth it... Remind him what you can do that the TV can not.......Just have fun with it!!! just one guys opinion!
Reply:Do you have a video camera? Make a movie of yourself in something sexy, or nothing at all, and do a few provocitave moves on it. Whatever rocks your boat. When you're done, the next night tell your husband you're tired of the same old TV, and lets watch a movie. Put in the movie you made, and hope he won't choke on anything when it starts playing. He should get the idea. Oh yea, if you have any kids make sure they're out of the room.

Reply:None of us are ever happy with our lot are we?

Reply:I have the same problem with my wife.
Reply:Well, for me all it would take is telling me she wants me on her...if she actually put on lingerie, I'd never turn the tv on again. I watch tv, because she isn't interested in me on her. I need some sort of entertainment. Don't tell me it's because I am a lazy jerk. I work all day to support her and the kids. She takes care of the kids and the house during the day. I come home from work and I help out with the kids, housework, cooking, shopping, and on the weekends I do all of it so she can get a break. She goes out with her friends when she wants and we try and get out once a month just her and I. It isn't because of my lacking in the bedroom either. She ALWAYS finishes at least once before me and I do anything she wants-if something is wrong she isn't telling me and that's her fault. So tell me, why should I turn the tv off. When I inquire about us having sex, all I hear is no(insert any excuse you feel like-I have heard them all). Once a month she wil tell me she is in the mood and proceed to give me maybe 1/2 hour. At least the tv entertains me when I want it to and it likes me.
Reply:Don't make your self so available to him. If he knows he can get it whenever he wants why wouldn't he just watch t.v until he's ready (hope you don't have Tivo0. If you refuse him a couple of times he will be itching for it. Go take a shower smell all nice and put on something sexy and simple right before you think he is done. Then pick up the phone and call one of your guy friends. When he approaches you brush him off all while laughing your @$$ off on the phone. Just do that a couple of times. He'll get the picture.

Computer TV tuner/living in remote area?

Okay, so I'll admit I don't understand a whole lot about TV tuners, but I want to buy one for my laptop - I want to record some of my favorite shows.





I live in a kind of remote area - I can only get dial-up internet and we just have basic TV stations from a roof antenna. Will this affect my ability to get TV reception for my computer at all?





(Sorry for being so ignorant about this topic!)

Computer TV tuner/living in remote area?
You're only going to get the stations that you pull in from roof antenna - it's not like suddenly you're gonna get free HBO.





Dial-up doesn't matter
Reply:Unfortunately, with only dial-up connection you will be quite disappointed in the quality of the video you get..... your machine will be constantly buffering the video... so you will see a few seconds worth....then it will buffer some more...and you will see that, then it stops to buffer some more.....





All in all it will be a very jerky, on again/off again reception and you will be very tired of it....... to get and view video you really need to have broadband connection.... cable, DSL, satellite, or cellular broadband..........





Sorry, just don't want you to be disappointed.......... %26lt;bummer%26gt;
Reply:ok, remote area and dial up only, I would say you want to get streeming video and I don't think it will work great with dial up. I used a tv card and if I tried to (download) to pc, it would be a bad picture and shutter. (frozzzze). The main problem will be the dial up SPEED. Live feed requires fast systems and connection speeds.

Computer tv input thinging?

Ok guys here is it TV-Tuner Philips 7134-Chipset:PC-Combo Modem/TV-Tuner CTX908, TV-Tuner CTX910 It is in a medion computer I upgraded to vista and it stop working. IU talked to medion and they said the computer SHOULD NOT have vista on it and they can not help me. can some one find me a driver for this on vista plz!!!!!!!

Computer tv input thinging?
Even now, when vista has been out for so long, not a lot of drivers have been made for devices yet. I recommend that you go back to xp, get all of your devices' functionality back, and download windowblinds to make it look like vista if you like it so much. With xp, you'll have better performance since it can utilize your specs better than vista can.
Reply:Unless Philips wrote a Vista driver for that tuner, there is none for it. Put XP on the computer, or put the tuner on an XP computer.
Reply:take vista back off then
Reply:Did you Google (or Yahoo) searched for the drivers? That's probably the easiest way to find out a way to resolve your issue.
Reply:odds are vista doesn't support your device,and if the manufacturer of your device tells ya that it doesn't work with vista,sorry but nothing ya can do,and you prolly just killed any warranty ya had left. vista isnt that great,and buy the sounds of what your wanting to do, youd have to have a a really high end machine to keep up.do yourself a favor, format,and put xp back on

My TV Doesn't Detect My HDMI Cable? What do I do? I just received it today.?

I just received my HDMI cable from Amazon.





http://www.amazon.com/Inspiretech-1080p-...





They claim it works for PS3 and it does. But when I turned on my PS3 the screen is blank





I went under Settings and Display Settings and tried to change it to HDMI but the Blank black screen appears.





Specs:


PS3:


60 GB


Owner Since New Years Day


Been playing on standard cables on different TV ever since.





Television.


Sony Wega


( Not Bravia )


Around 50-60 IN. Widescreen.


HDTV with HDMI Input





I know they say to change the TV settings to HDMI but my TV doesn't say anything about it.








When I went to Audio settings to change it to HDMI it says


Error Please Make Sure Cables are fit in correctly %26amp; Turned On.

My TV Doesn't Detect My HDMI Cable? What do I do? I just received it today.?
Check to make sure the cable is plugged in all the way. Sometimes those HDMI cables have a bit of plastic that make it hard to push in all the way sometimes.





Have you pressed and held the power button on the PS3? That will reset the video settings. The PS3 will then auto-detect what settings you need for the TV.





There also might be a HDCP handshake issue. Some TVs have a tendency to do that, but the TV will show no signal otherwise. Basically it requires turning the PS3 and TV on at different time intervals until they finally sync the HDCP (ie, PS3 on, wait 2, turn TV on, etc).
Reply:I had a similar problem hooking my roomates 360 up to a non hd tv after having it hooked up to an hd tv, there was actually a switch or something he found that gave the option of hd or non hd, not sure if its the same for ps3.
Reply:Did it come with an HD cable box? You have the TV, you have the service, but do you have the HD Box?





Just a thought.


Connections: LCD TV, Virgin Box, DVD Recorder....help please?

Can anyone let me know the connections for the following in simple terms please:


I have a Sharp Aquos LCD TV, a Virgin Box and just purchased a Sony DVD Hard Drive Recorder.


The TV has 2 scart sockets (1 RGB and 1 AV) and 2 HDMI sockets (HDMI and HDMI/Audio)


The box has 2 scarts (1 TV and 1VCR)


The DVD recorder has 2 scarts(line 1 Decoder and Line 3 TV) and also HDMI out.


The Sony handbook seems to be written for an electronics engineer and is totally confusing.


If it helps I would like to utilise the HDMI connection if possible


Your help would be appreciated as I am tying myself and the cables in knots....thanks in advance.

Connections: LCD TV, Virgin Box, DVD Recorder....help please?
Connect the Sony DVD to the TV by HDMI.





Connect the Virgin box by SCART (out) to the Sony (VCR/DVD), and the SCART (TV out) to the TV.





SInce the Virgin box has no HDMI, you can't use it. i.e. the HDMI, I mean.
Reply:Oh that sucks....GET an HD BOX for your Virgin TV...





Then connect Both units to the HDMI inputs, the DVD player should be connected to the HDMI / audio one for DOLBY surround....





Other than that, you end up having to watch VIRGIN in low Def quality instead of Hi Def quality....But you connect your PRESENT VIRGIN BOX to the Scart labled AV.....


And there's your LOW DEF connection.....





Oh that sucks.....Oh that suckity sucks...





All your TV viewing in LOW DEF....Hours and HOURS and HOURS of the MAIN TV Viewing....in Looooooow Def.


And your DVD has a BETTER connection than your MAIN source of Viewing Pleasure !





Oh that sucks.....Oh that Suckity sucks....
Reply:I think that you'll find the Virgin box has a HDD recorder inside of it so you can record your programs straight to it so all you need to do is connect the Virgin box to your tv via scart, the dvd recorder to your tv via the hdmi port and then if you want to record from Virgin onto the dvd recorder just connect the dvd recorder to the virgin box via scart.


TV: Picture breaks up and sound cuts out several times a minute?

Hi- I wish I could describe this better but I am no TV expert. We have a flat screen, digital tv that is acting up. A couple times each minute, the screen breaks up into what looks like big pixels and the sound cuts out at the same time. It'll go back to normal and then break up and cut out again about 20 or 30 seconds later. We have Time Warner cable. Our flat plasma screen TV in the living room doesn't have any trouble.





Is it the TV or is it a cable? I've looked at the cables attached to the back of the tv and everything looks tight enough. Any suggestions? Thanks so much.

TV: Picture breaks up and sound cuts out several times a minute?
YOU HAVE a weak signal to your TV set....





You need to get Time Warner out to identify the bad cable, splitter or cable box.....AND make sure your TV does not have a bad tuner.





You should be able to take your TV over to the other TV set and borrow it's cable line to verify this.....
Reply:it could be a loose contact in the cable loop, which you have connected to the TV. or even the connector of the TV may come loose inside the TV.

TV changes input mode when I hit the channel button.?

I have an old CRT based JVC (32" model AV-32150). Problem is this....I have the tv cabled directly from the Direct tv box (vial s-video and component audio.). The mode is video one. When I hit the channel button on the tv, the mode changes to TV and the channel is lock on channel 2. I then have to go back into menu and reset it to video one. This did not happen when I had the tv hook to the sattelite box via the dvd player. any suggestions to solve this?

Connect a cable from the output to TV jack on the DirecTV box. Go into the TV menu and scan for channels. Delete any channels found other than 3. That way when you hit the channel button it should be on 3. Then you can see the DirecTV while you reset it to S-Video on # 1 input.


Had cable tv (ch. 2-98) on my PC without the Comcast box, now it's gone. why? please explain to me.?

I pay a lot for high speed Internet from Comcast in northern NJ. Also I hooked up a PC tuner card for analog cable TV and after splitting the comcast cable it was working fine for about six months. I could get clear picture on almost all channels when watching comcast cable tv on my PC through simple Windows-based TV tuner (analog). I guess it would also work for regular analog TV however I don;t have one :)


Suddenly all channels became scrambled, the device is probably working fine, because I tested another brand new one with no effect. can someone explain to me what has happened? was my signal encoded somehow to prevent me from watching analog TV for free as an add-on to internet access I had? can I override it somehow using some other kind of TV tuner card for my PC or software application? I really don't like the idea of paying for set top box and all this stuff, because simply I watch TV maybe a few hours in a month due to lack of time. for that reason I don't will to pay for it.

Had cable tv (ch. 2-98) on my PC without the Comcast box, now it's gone. why? please explain to me.?
Cable Internet uses a standard TV channel for the the downloading of Internet data. The channel used is determined by the equipment used by the cable company. The rest of the channels are used for regular Cable TV programming. They all use the same cable. That is why you split the signal one to the TV/Computer the other to the cable modem. Your cable modem is listening for data on its channel. The TV set is receiving all the other channels. The TV will simply skip the data channel as it will automatically determine it is not in a usable picture format.





This is the standard setup. You will receive all the available analog channels and the data channel UNLESS the cable company filters them out. Since the cable company pays the cable networks so much per subscriber they only want to provide the regular cable channels to paying subscribers for regualr cable TV.





So the cable company will put on your cable TV line a series for filters that will remove all the channels except your download Internet Channel.





What happened was the cable system finally put the correct filters in place to block out all but the Internet download channel. The filters are put on your cable TV line coming into your home/apartment in a place that is not accessible by you.


In order to receive regular TV the filters must be removed and it is illegal for you to do so.
Reply:If you were not paying for cable service they probably disconnected it. They do not scramble the analog signal. They have to physically come out and put a trap(filter) on the line. Comcast in my area audits all addresses every 6 months. They probably just did an audit for illegals and put a trap on your line to block all analog signal. Your modem uses a digital signal. Sorry this happened.
Reply:Well you didn't buy Cable, so they scrambled the signal.


The installation crews don't get all the work done during the initial install, they can sometimes take months to get caught up.





You're lucky you had it for that amount of time.....

Tv tuner question?

Ok so I am moving out of my house into an apartment in a few days and it has free basic cable, so i am going to use my computer as my tv. Anyway to make this work all i would have to do is buy a tv tuner card and hook the cable wire from the wall into the tv tuner and download some software to view the signal right. Also all the tv tuners i have looked at come with a audio cable. What would i have to use this for, because i already have a surround sound system that i am using for my computer.





An example of the audio cable is this

Tv tuner question?
You won't need it if you already have a "sound card" in your system. The TV tuner has a sound card in it.
Reply:my vid card has an input for tv, fm/am, and av


the av is for a vcr/gamesystem or some other av device.





usually if you get an ATI tuner you get free software with it, (its pretty good software)





you may need to plug that audio cable into your soundcard, or onto your motherboard, wherethe cddrive audio would plug in.


you dont really need the CD's audio so just unplugit and plug that into the motherboard where the cd cord was

Tv shelf to put a tv on to raise it up?

I am trying to find a place that sells tv shelves to put on a tv stand to give the tv some height. They are usually made out of wood. And it needs to be able to hold a 20" tv

TV problem.. the upper left portion of my TV when turned on has shades of red..?

The upper left portion of my TV had a shade of red .. no matter what color is being displayed on TV.. For a while, I had my direct tv receiver and my clock on top of my tv.. Whenever I wave the back of my clock in front of the red shade it goes back to normal..





any suggestions/tips?





thanks in advance =)

TV problem.. the upper left portion of my TV when turned on has shades of red..?
Standard fault with standard solution !





Unplug set from mains supply at the wall socket !! leave off for at least 30 mins then plug back in and switch on ! Cured !!!


Note : some clocks do indeed have an electro magnet in them , however no damage is done to the TV by magnetic fields and it is the shadow mask inside the tube that gets temporarily magnetised !!!


Cheers Pete
Reply:Yes. You have caused a magnetic imbalance in your TV. Their is some type of magnetic material in the clock that has caused it to distort the pixels in your TV. The only real way to fix this is a process called "de-gausing" and I would recommend taking it to a proffesional repair shop to see if they can fix it. Magnetic fields cause fluctuations in the alignment of the TV's normal pixel arrangement, causing some of them to change the color viewed on screen. Generaly, you dont want to have any type of magnet near a TV screen that isnt shielded.
Reply:your clock probably has some form of magnet in it or some kind of magnetic polarity. i learned from experience on that, it can eventually ruin your TV. so keep away all magnets, speakers, compasses and clocks.
Reply:its normally a magnet inside your clock take it off or it could be your reciever but I dout it cause recievers are ment to be near the tv


Had cable tv (ch. 2-98) on my PC without the Comcast box, now it's gone. why? please explain to me.?

I pay a lot for high speed Internet from Comcast in northern NJ. Also I hooked up a PC tuner card for analog cable TV and after splitting the comcast cable it was working fine for about six months. I could get clear picture on almost all channels when watching comcast cable tv on my PC through simple Windows-based TV tuner (analog). I guess it would also work for regular analog TV however I don;t have one :)


Suddenly all channels became scrambled, the device is probably working fine, because I tested another brand new one with no effect. can someone explain to me what has happened? was my signal encoded somehow to prevent me from watching analog TV for free as an add-on to internet access I had? can I override it somehow using some other kind of TV tuner card for my PC or software application? I really don't like the idea of paying for set top box and all this stuff, because simply I watch TV maybe a few hours in a month due to lack of time. for that reason I don't will to pay for it.

Had cable tv (ch. 2-98) on my PC without the Comcast box, now it's gone. why? please explain to me.?
Cable Internet uses a standard TV channel for the the downloading of Internet data. The channel used is determined by the equipment used by the cable company. The rest of the channels are used for regular Cable TV programming. They all use the same cable. That is why you split the signal one to the TV/Computer the other to the cable modem. Your cable modem is listening for data on its channel. The TV set is receiving all the other channels. The TV will simply skip the data channel as it will automatically determine it is not in a usable picture format.





This is the standard setup. You will receive all the available analog channels and the data channel UNLESS the cable company filters them out. Since the cable company pays the cable networks so much per subscriber they only want to provide the regular cable channels to paying subscribers for regualr cable TV.





So the cable company will put on your cable TV line a series for filters that will remove all the channels except your download Internet Channel.





What happened was the cable system finally put the correct filters in place to block out all but the Internet download channel. The filters are put on your cable TV line coming into your home/apartment in a place that is not accessible by you.


In order to receive regular TV the filters must be removed and it is illegal for you to do so.
Reply:If you were not paying for cable service they probably disconnected it. They do not scramble the analog signal. They have to physically come out and put a trap(filter) on the line. Comcast in my area audits all addresses every 6 months. They probably just did an audit for illegals and put a trap on your line to block all analog signal. Your modem uses a digital signal. Sorry this happened.
Reply:Well you didn't buy Cable, so they scrambled the signal.


The installation crews don't get all the work done during the initial install, they can sometimes take months to get caught up.





You're lucky you had it for that amount of time.....


TV Commercials and how the wife responds?

As we watch TV, there always seems to be a commercial that show scantily clad women. Now me being a man, this doesn't bother me in the least. I don't get excited and want to jump all over my wife, I don't get an erection and I don't think about them after all is said and done. My wife on the other hand, has a fit when these commercials come on, she get totally agree with me, turns the channel, or throws the TV remote at me if I watch the commercial. Most times, I will turn my head or get up to do something while the commercial is playing. It doesn't bother me when she watches her stories that show men in various states of clothes. I am so confused as to how to overcome this problem, besides not watch TV with her, or continue to not look at the TV when the commercials come on. BTW, i do not make any comments about the subject matter on the TV.. just so you know.

TV Commercials and how the wife responds?
She is obviously young and seemingly insecure. Your choices are:


A. Hide the remote to preserve your safety.


B. Get rid of your TV.


or


C. Say "DAMN baby! You need to get yo fat butt off tha couch and go work out instead of watch TV so you can look like THOSE chicks!"
Reply:There are different ways of helping your wife increase her self esteem. While you're trying out ways to accomplish that, consider trying this: when the gals come on the screen, jump up (drop the remote or pillow or something), holler, " you dogs, you're nothin' but anorexic egotists, you sxxt pigs!" And then jump your honey's bones, kiss all over her face, blow her neck (like a baby), feel her up, and loudly praise God for giving you the sexiest woman on earth to have for your very own. If you're consistant with this, it might get her attention (and funny bone), and start the healing process.


Very best of lusty fun while working on irritating problems.
Reply:When last did you tell your wife you think she's sexy???


She's needing abit of your attension, thats why she gets mad when the adds come on, she thinks you're shopping around for something better than what she has to offer you, insecurity can be damaging to a marrage so make her feel more secure about how you see her and she'll chill out.
Reply:She is jealous, pure and simple. Just turn to her and kiss her or something. She sounds like she has low self esteem.
Reply:sounds like a bad case of insecurity to me. Don't know how you could get around it other than not watching tv at all or leaving the room when an ad comes on the set. My suggestion is to shower her with compliments, comment on how well she looks, and be very attentive to her whenever possible. Perhaps then she will gain some self-confidence and not become so irritable when these ads air. Good Luck!
Reply:oh honey, u got a really high maintenance girl on your hands! she reacts like that bcuz she is very insecure about her own looks!





Have u reassured her that it in no way affects you?





There are deeper issues underlying the one that the commercials bring up
Reply:Sounds like you have a wife with some deep emotional issues. You should get her into therapy so she can find out why she over reacts to these commercials.
Reply:Your poor wife must be very insecure about herself to let this get to her. First I would get cable where there is no commercials, NO NO that wouldn't work everything on cable is worse, Why don't you try some positive reinforcement with her, tell how pretty she is, how much you love her, maybe she's not feeling the loving from you just a suggestion/ I do really admire your patience with her/she is a very lucky woman. Some men may of gotten rid of the tv,, GOOD LUCK.
Reply:I do that to my husband as well. I get mad when those Ford commercials come on with these women in bikinis or whatever. I am a bit insecure with the way I look and maybe your wife is going through the same thing. Those girls are much prettier and in shape than the normal average woman and we don't like it. Although sex sells, and that is why they are using those women in the commercials. But, honestly, alot of those woman don't truly look like that on an everyday basis. I am sure alot of them also have had or has implants, botox, face lifts, etc. I am not sure what there is for you to do though except express your concern to your wife. Or maybe show her this posting with answers. That may help....she is not alone and neither are you!!
Reply:Honestly I don't think all the compliments in the world will help her. I think you should find a good counselor. It that doesn't work, find another until her issues are resolved.
Reply:she probably thinks that your attracted to them and feels inferior to them especially if there slim with legs to there armpits if she's not... come on see it from a woman's point of view all telly models are just that modals slim sexy etc most of us ordinary woman are nothing like them!
Reply:Sounds like she is very insecure. She's getting upset over tv commercials? Have you asked what the problem is, why she feels the way she does? I am sorry but you shouldn't have to look away from the tv just because there is a woman on there. Your wife needs to work on her insecurity problem. Ask her to get some help.


Old tv problem?

i have an old crt videocon tv in my room i am planing to have a dvd player but there are no sockets given at the back nor in the front my tv is 17 years old and i also want to add speakers with that tv

Old tv problem?
only way i can think of is if it doesnt have a cable jack and only has the two screws you put the anntena on with there is an addapter to get a small cable connection into it. hook up a vcr to that through a cable and controll your dvd player through that, you can set your sorround sound up through the out of the dvd player without even having to hook it up to the tv so thats not a problem.
Reply:If your DVD player only has composite cables (Yellow, White, Red) and your TV only accepts coaxial RF inputs (round screwy connection) then you'll need some way of converting one to the other. There's two options, off the bat...





One way is to buy something called a RF modulator. The DVD player video/audio cable then gets hooked up to the modulator and then another wire goes form the modulators output to your TV. If your a cable customer, you'll need to buy a modulator with RF inputs and hook your cable through that as well.





Another option, if you don't want to buy anything, is using a relatively new (not 17 old) VCR. Basically you may be able to use a spare VCR to do the same thing the RF modulator does, by following similar steps.





As for speakers.. it depends on what kind of speakers you mean, but essentially you'll have to hook the speaker system up directly to the audio ouput on your modulator/vcr or your DVD player.. and not to the TV.





You can buy an RF modular at any many electronics store. Here's some links to some online vendors....

I want a new tv, help?

my dad bought me this tv in november (19 inches, $230)


http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?...


on black friday. on that tv, when i try to put it on fullscreen mode, the picture cuts off like 3 inches on both sides. now i want a bigger one (26 inches, $464)


http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.d... to enhance my videogaming experience. that tv has all the inputs so i can plug in my gamecube and ps2 at the same time. and the picture is very crisp and clear. but he bought the other tv so recently, and he just bought me a ps2 yesterday, so i dont think he'd get me another big purchase this soon. what should i do? i really want that tv. and what should i do with the old one? i'm 14 btw.

I want a new tv, help?
sell the old one on ebay and save up the rest of the money yourself. that is what i always do if i need something new
Reply:It is the way the TV projects the image when you go to wide-screen.


The wide-screen format in the TV is 16:10 where the format of the PS2 is 16:9.





If you are so unhappy with your Dad's choice , why not tell him.


I would personally be hurt if I spent that sort of money on my child and she just sold it because she didn't like it.





What you need to do is go and speak with your Dad and ask him first if he minds if you sold it and only then should you sell it on the condition you are going to work for the TV you do want and earn it.





NOTE :


Personally I agree with Brian A.


Get a Job , etc.

Which TV should I get for a PS3?

which TV should I get:





A 20inch silver HD ready LCD TV with HDMI or a 19inch black HD ready digital LCD TV with freeview built in and a built in DVD with HDMI?

Which TV should I get for a PS3?
The second, its only 1 inch and the extras are great.
Reply:I have a real problem with TV's with built in DVD players. What happens if the player stops working? If you send it out for repair you also loose the use of your television. Besides, the PS3 is an excellent DVD and Blu-ray player. Why do you need another one built into a TV or not?





Your Euro's, your choice ...
Reply:i say the 2nd one with all the extras
Reply:i would say the first TV because the PS3 has a DVD Player and there will be PLAY TV coming in a few months to ps3 which allows you to record watch pause and rewind Freeview Channels and plus its bigger!

Apple TV Questions?

I have a lot of questions about the Apple TV if someone can help:





1. How do I put music/videos on it?


2. I don't have an iPod yet so do I need one if I want to put music/videos on it?


3. Is it like a cable box? I have a HD TV (720p I think) but I only have a basic cable connection. I want to get at least something in HD connected to it.


4. There are two other TVs in my house with HD channels so is there anyway to get that on the Apple TV?


5. Is it worth the money to get?


6. How do you like it if you have one?

If i have FIOS tv service do i need a box on top of all my tvs?

I am having FIOS tv service installed. With regular cable tv, any tv plugged into the cable picked up TV channels. Because FIOS is fiber-optic, will all TVs be able to get service on them, or do I need to get the converter box for every TV in my house in order for them to work?

If i have FIOS tv service do i need a box on top of all my tvs?
You will NEED the box by April anyways...they are going FULL DIGITAL in April....





So get the boxes you need...the installer will know what's necessary.
Reply:Well that depends...





If your TV has a digital Tuner in it then NO......Even if you have an Analog tuner, you'll get channels 49 and below until 2009 when everything goes digital..........Even then...they do sell digital tuners for about $40.





Fiber optic has no bearing on TV broadcast. That box they put on the side of your place (ONT) will convert fiber optic to COAX.





Now without a STB (coverter box) you will not get all the channels you may be paying for... Verizon does have a Digital converter box that is 1/4 the size and price of a STB but you will not get high def.





If your TV has a cable card slot, you can get a cable card, usually the cheapest thing to rent from verizon.





Anywho I hope this helps..
Reply:True Fios tv will need a (STB) ''set tob box''. Not true that every tv will need one in the 2009 change because tv's buit on and after March 21st 2007 will not need a (STB) because they have tunars you can adjust know as (HDTV Ready).

Reply:I had to get a wire through a ceiling how i did it was i taped the wire good and tight to a wire hanger (i`m presuming you cant see the otherside of the wall )


the other option is if you already have a wire going up and if its long that this wire may guide your ps3 wire up by tapeing it to it this might save alot of patience needed with the wire hanger at the hole.
Reply:Yeah you connected the different way maybe....
Reply:Hmm....going through the wall seems like a complicated way to do things. It does elminate looking at the wires hanging down tho. I would start at the top hole, connecting the cable to the tele. If the hole is big enough at the bottom to where you can see the cable come down, you could fish it out with like a coat hook or something. Otherwise, maybe take a cable that's already through the wall, tie a bit of string to the top end, tie the string to HDMI cable, and thread them through. If it was my house, I'd just cut holes at the top and bottom to where this was easy. Drywall can be cut with a steak knife, if need be. Plaster walls need a saw, though. Good luck!!!
Reply:You have to get an extension or extra long wires. Then plug it all together and into the TV then fix the TV to the wall then feed the excess length of wire back into the hole in the wall.
Reply:A long piece of sticky tape attached to a thin pole, like a back scratcher or coat hanger...something skinny...
Reply:i would help u if i was older than my age, sorry
Reply:Go from top, make sure you have enough to pull it back up in case of emergancy.
Reply:well you could make another hole in the wall for the wire, have the ps3 on the floor or where ever and have a hole from the bottom of the wall just abode the baseboard and have the wire run up to the tv. if you don't want to do that, take your tv off the wall and plug the cables back in.

Dog jumping up at TV.,how to stop it?

My 5 year old girl dog barks and jumps up at the TV when ever there are animals on it. We currently have a 42" rear projection TV and looking at buying a 42" LCD in the next few months. OUr current TV has scratch marks on the screen from her and we dont want this to happen to out new TV. We cannot fix it to the wall due to the shape and size of the room, so where ever we put it it will be on a stand. I have tried shouting "NO" to her as soon as an animal comes on the TV, which does work but I dont want to have to do this everytime it happens cos after the 50th time a night of shouting "NO" it does my head in !!





Any ideas?

Dog jumping up at TV.,how to stop it?
Get rid of the dog and have a quiet life,and a scratch free tv.
Reply:Some how you have to train your dog to be afraid of going near the tv.....either the electric collar or a device that might let out a loud sound when the dog approaches, i know they make little battery operated devices that let out a loud shreek when a dog jumps on a couch....possibly something along those lines will work. Either way it will take some time to make the dog afraid of the tv.
Reply:why dont you try filling a bottle with some small stones and when the dog jumps up shake it not to scare her but to take her mind off the sound of other animals on the screen try it, it may do your head in but stick with it and it may work
Reply:Try holding her back every time she sees one you could get a spray coller so every time she does it she gets sprayed ...


go to the local pet shop and ask they will be happy to help you find a product you could even try a vet they'll give you good advise . Remember be very paitent . try taking her out for more walks she could be bored ...


Is she socialized enough ? why not try taking her for walks with a mates dog it will tire her out and she wont be bothered about whats on TV . You could get her a dog bed and put it somewhere no where near the TV and teach her the command bed and then if shes away from the TV she wont know whats on ...


one last thing every time she doesnt jump give her a fuss and a treat this will make her happy and she will want to be rewarded good luck !!!!! i hope i helped

If your talking about like Univision and Telemundo, they are spanish speaking U.S owned stations. I think by NBC one of em, dont really know though, but if your talking about real Mexican television. I noticed that too, a lot. It's sad but true.


If theres two things i noticed is that Mexicans consider being Mexican a gift and they consider it a race not a nationality, and they don't care if your light skinned or dark skinned, your Mexican and you should be proud. The other is that the big corporate giants in Mexico mostly hire light skinned people to broadcast the news and so on because they believe it will be more appealing. SAD.

Reply:no, it's not...maybe you are for thinking they are tho'
Reply:They're not white, they just are light skinned like me. Believe me I've seen a light skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed mexican before, and I only know they are Mexican because they say they are. They also have proof.
Reply:These actors are usually of Spanish decent, and so are most Mexicans. The reason why they have blonde hair and blue eyes is because they are 100% Spanish while most Mexicans are a mix of Spanish and Native American decent. That is why most Mexicans have dark hair and eyes. I think that the blonde haired, blue eyed actors are popular because they look different and exotic, its not a race thing.
Reply:its true mexico is influenced by the united states, where white is better. so they show only light skinned people, but the females are pretty fine.

Have you looked at BET? All television stations favor people of certain appearances. Did you notice that on some all of the women are tall pale skinned and busty? I am sure that you will find similar things on Asian networks too. Racism can occur within a race. I agree that the people on Mexican television look white, maybe they are? Some Mexicans are white and some just look that way. 1% by the way is a very low percentage. In American TV Asians are severely underrepresented.

Reply:You're very observant. Alot of the answer has to do with history, the history of repression, since the time of the conquistadors. Cinco de Mayo was a revolt against the French taking control, much like the American Revolution. My husband is Mexican and mestizo,mixed blood of Native Indian and Spanish. He grew up with the discrimination favoring whites of Spanish descent.


"Crazy February" is a good book I read in an anthropology class, describing the blatant discrimination that takes place on a daily basis, against people based on their class status, which is often determined by how they choose to dress. The movie "Ghandi" comes to mind, because he faced the same type of discrimination from the British control of India, even though he himself was British, he couldn't get any respect until he embraced his Native roots, and took a stand. Cesar Chavez's speeches will move you to tears if you ever check em out. He was perfectly soft spoken and logical about making progress, much in the same spirit as Dr. Martin Luther King, and yet there is a conspicuous lack of public recognition for his actions and inspiration here in America, at least among whites.


"Ask A Mexican" is an online forum where you can get a more informed answer than mine. Gustavo Arrellano is the journalist in orange county ,CA. It's carried by : www.the seattle weekly.com , he also wrote a book answering questions about cultural points of view. Thankfully times and attitudes are improving . Appreciation for Indian attitudes and natural beauty is growing. I saw alot of respect and trust on the job regarding the competency of Mexican/S.American workers in construction. There's always been a gap between reality and the fantasy that's portrayed on tv. Thankfully people are becoming more mature with every new generation. So, thanks for your question.
Reply:And you think American television tells the truth? Where the majority of the girls are beach babes and the guys have six-packs?? Why do they rarely show obese or fat people? Isn't around 40% of the American population fat (if not obese)?? They want to show what they consider "the positive side". I'm sure the same goes for Mexican television. What the h.el.l is with the "butt implant" comment??
Reply:many Mexican people consider blonde hair and blue eyes beautiful. I bet that if they had a show on Mexican TV that represented the Mexican population more realistically it would be pulled of the air because of low ratings. it's sad but that's why i don't watch Mexican TV.
Reply:Mexico is not racist, the reason is because it depends on the education of people. Mexico is not racist, it's people who are not white that don't like to study hard or work for anyone. They rather go out and sell tamales on the street or just start a small business in their homes.





I travel to Mexico or Tijuana and see that almost every home has a small kind of business and many selling in the streets are of dark complexion.





The Europeans who live in Mexico are educated and make a career as famous singers or actors and actresses.

Reply:Mexicans are Caucasian. There are actually only three races in the world; Caucasian, Mongolian, and Negr-oid. It's kind of tough to accuse Mexican TV of being racist when it's full of Caucasians--in a country that's 99% Caucasian.


They do, however, tend to put the more pleasant-looking people on the tube just like we do in America.


And I do apologize for putting the hyphen in Negr-oid but Yahoo apparently considers that word unacceptable although it most certainly is the proper name for that particular race. They kept putting asterisks in place of the word until I stuck in the hyphen. If I were black, I'd be very offended by that.

Reply:No, but they live by selling nice images, so always try to have pretty faces (according to mexican standard of beautyness).





And it is FALSE that only 9% of mexicans are white, although most of mexicans migrating to USA are not white it is because whites are in the dominant economic class mainly, not in poor; white do not need to leave México in order to live well enough.





I don't know why, but I can't send links to YouTube, you could go there and look for "Los Criollos en México" or "Los Altos de Jalisco" or "Mexican whites" and you will find out some interesting facts about white mexicans.

Apple tv?????

How do I use the apple tv as a hard drive. I have movies, and tv shows on my computer. How do I transfer them or make a copy of them and store it on the apple tv?

Apple tv?????
I think the A TV is more of a transfer device. You play them on the computer and the A TV puts them into the TV.

If i have FIOS tv service do i need a box on top of all my tvs?

I am having FIOS tv service installed. With regular cable tv, any tv plugged into the cable picked up TV channels. Because FIOS is fiber-optic, will all TVs be able to get service on them, or do I need to get the converter box for every TV in my house in order for them to work?

If i have FIOS tv service do i need a box on top of all my tvs?
You will NEED the box by April anyways...they are going FULL DIGITAL in April....





So get the boxes you need...the installer will know what's necessary.
Reply:Well that depends...





If your TV has a digital Tuner in it then NO......Even if you have an Analog tuner, you'll get channels 49 and below until 2009 when everything goes digital..........Even then...they do sell digital tuners for about $40.





Fiber optic has no bearing on TV broadcast. That box they put on the side of your place (ONT) will convert fiber optic to COAX.





Now without a STB (coverter box) you will not get all the channels you may be paying for... Verizon does have a Digital converter box that is 1/4 the size and price of a STB but you will not get high def.





If your TV has a cable card slot, you can get a cable card, usually the cheapest thing to rent from verizon.





Anywho I hope this helps..
Reply:True Fios tv will need a (STB) ''set tob box''. Not true that every tv will need one in the 2009 change because tv's buit on and after March 21st 2007 will not need a (STB) because they have tunars you can adjust know as (HDTV Ready).


HD tv and a ps3?

Ok, So I have my hd tv all set up and hung up on the wall. Now I have a ps3 and the connextion for the HDMI is on the back of the TV. #@#$$^#%#$%$#%#!!!! Well, I have a problem. It is set up like this: http://img229.imageshack.us/my.php?image...


I can tilt the tv slightly, so I need to get the HDMI cable up the wall to the hole. Anybody have any idea how I can guide the cable to the hole in order to connect it? Or any other way? All asnwers appreciated.





Oh, and everbody has probly posted a question and got like, 2 answers, so I would appreciate if you copied the URL of the question and pasted it once after all of you answers. PLZ!

and what will that do?
Reply:I had to get a wire through a ceiling how i did it was i taped the wire good and tight to a wire hanger (i`m presuming you cant see the otherside of the wall )


the other option is if you already have a wire going up and if its long that this wire may guide your ps3 wire up by tapeing it to it this might save alot of patience needed with the wire hanger at the hole.
Reply:Yeah you connected the different way maybe....
Reply:Hmm....going through the wall seems like a complicated way to do things. It does elminate looking at the wires hanging down tho. I would start at the top hole, connecting the cable to the tele. If the hole is big enough at the bottom to where you can see the cable come down, you could fish it out with like a coat hook or something. Otherwise, maybe take a cable that's already through the wall, tie a bit of string to the top end, tie the string to HDMI cable, and thread them through. If it was my house, I'd just cut holes at the top and bottom to where this was easy. Drywall can be cut with a steak knife, if need be. Plaster walls need a saw, though. Good luck!!!
Reply:You have to get an extension or extra long wires. Then plug it all together and into the TV then fix the TV to the wall then feed the excess length of wire back into the hole in the wall.
Reply:A long piece of sticky tape attached to a thin pole, like a back scratcher or coat hanger...something skinny...
Reply:i would help u if i was older than my age, sorry
Reply:Go from top, make sure you have enough to pull it back up in case of emergancy.
Reply:well you could make another hole in the wall for the wire, have the ps3 on the floor or where ever and have a hole from the bottom of the wall just abode the baseboard and have the wire run up to the tv. if you don't want to do that, take your tv off the wall and plug the cables back in.

PSP ON TV question.....?

I was wondering: Do you need a Progressive scan TV to use your PSP with a TV. Or can it be any old TV? And do you have to plug all 5 things in your TV? (5 things=Red,White,Yellow,etc.)

PSP ON TV question.....?
Yea, you need a progressive scan which stinks when you pay $30.00 and find out you can't use it...(same thing happened to me..)


%26amp; yes again, you need to plug all five of the colored wires in..


(I know because my Grandma has a progressive scan T.V.)

Is Mexican Tv racist????

If mexico is only 9% white,Why is basiacaly everone on mexican TV white??If most Mexican people have jet black hair,why don't most on Mexican TV??? If Mexico is one percent Asian, How acome you never see A Chinses Mexiacn On There TV??? My Boyfriend %26amp; his friends are Mexiacn %26amp; non of them look like the actors on Mexiacn Tv %26amp; the women mostly look like Christina Aguillera Cameron daiz type.Not your average Latin American person. also some one tell Mexiacn Actesees that but implants do not look good half women on Mexican soap operas have big Serena wiiliamn booty,it is quite obviou to me %26amp; others that Someone shoved a couple of Basketballs in there.The women you see in Mexico look nothing like that. i'm not tying to offend anyone,but why is Mexiacn Entertainment so undivese?? If mexico is a Multi-racail nation???

Is Mexican Tv racist????
If your talking about like Univision and Telemundo, they are spanish speaking U.S owned stations. I think by NBC one of em, dont really know though, but if your talking about real Mexican television. I noticed that too, a lot. It's sad but true.


If theres two things i noticed is that Mexicans consider being Mexican a gift and they consider it a race not a nationality, and they don't care if your light skinned or dark skinned, your Mexican and you should be proud. The other is that the big corporate giants in Mexico mostly hire light skinned people to broadcast the news and so on because they believe it will be more appealing. SAD.
Reply:This is not the right answer. Report It

Reply:no, it's not...maybe you are for thinking they are tho'
Reply:They're not white, they just are light skinned like me. Believe me I've seen a light skinned, blonde haired, blue eyed mexican before, and I only know they are Mexican because they say they are. They also have proof.
Reply:These actors are usually of Spanish decent, and so are most Mexicans. The reason why they have blonde hair and blue eyes is because they are 100% Spanish while most Mexicans are a mix of Spanish and Native American decent. That is why most Mexicans have dark hair and eyes. I think that the blonde haired, blue eyed actors are popular because they look different and exotic, its not a race thing.
Reply:its true mexico is influenced by the united states, where white is better. so they show only light skinned people, but the females are pretty fine.

Have you looked at BET? All television stations favor people of certain appearances. Did you notice that on some all of the women are tall pale skinned and busty? I am sure that you will find similar things on Asian networks too. Racism can occur within a race. I agree that the people on Mexican television look white, maybe they are? Some Mexicans are white and some just look that way. 1% by the way is a very low percentage. In American TV Asians are severely underrepresented.

Will my TV SPDIF digital coaxial out have surround sound?

My receiver doesnt have hdmi inputs. Can i connect all my devices (xbox, dvd player, cable box) via hdmi to my TV and then use my TV's Spdif digital coaxial output to connect to receiver and have multichannel surround sound?





Example: xbox hdmi to TV, then TV Spdif digital coax output to receiver. Will i get surround sound?

Will my TV SPDIF digital coaxial out have surround sound?
Depends on your TV.


Most TVs will not pass through compressed audio, such as DD from the HDMI input to s/pdif, but some will.


You can always connect all sources to the TV for video and then connect via s/pdif each source to the AV receiver.
Reply:Maybe. It depends if the TV passes the HDMI audio to a digital coax or optical out.





But if it doesn't work you can take video via HDMI to the TV and take coaxial or optical audio from each device to receiver? That will give you surround sound. The disadvantage is you have to switch both the TV (to select video source) and the AVR (to select audio source), so I'd do it that way if your approach doesn't work.

LCD Projection TV problem?

My Hitachi 50 inch lcd projection tv has a yellow circle in the middle of the screen. Kind of like a cloud of yellow. I still have warranty on this tv and am wondering what is wrong and what the estimated price of parts and labor to fix it is. If the cost to fix it is expensive, then we will get a new tv as replacement. Is my tv dying??? I'm kinda hoping it is so I can get a new one.

LCD Projection TV problem?
If you do have a warranty, the repair should be free. They won't give you a new TV.





I don't recognize that symptom, but a lamp is typically $200 to $300 but if it needs a light engine, it could be over $1000.





If you have a warranty, none of that really matters...
Reply:Its under warranty, so its free.
Reply:may be one of the Lamps inside may gone fuse ... since its under warranty its easy for them to replace it ..don worry it may not be a major problem
