Consumer Electronics - 27 December 2007

ok, im bout to set up a new cell phone with AT&T and im actually reading the service agreement before a go through with it and in the agreement is says "Except as provided below, monthly service and certain other charges are billed one month in advance, and there is no proration of such charges if service is terminated on other than the last day of your billing cycle" now to me its saying that if my cycle is from lets say december 5 to january 5 they will send me a bill on december 5 charging me for the cycle of december 5 to january 5, even though my cycle isnt over yet. is that what it means? any at&t fromaly known as cingular customers please explain this to me, cuz ive heard and read alot of complaints from people who have said they have been double billed or double charged by at&t formaly known as cingular and were expected to pay 2 bills. thnx a million!

I've just got a replacement power adapter for an external hard drive, I've set it to the right voltage but the jack at the end can be attached to the power supply so that the positive is either on the inside or the outside of the jack plug. The only symbol that I see on the hard drive is a solid line above three dashes. I can't figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

I only have one optical digital (toslink) input in the back of my receiver, so I was thinking of getting a switcher that uses mini plugs, will this degrade the sound quality? Below is the link to the item.

I recently purchased an Xbox 360 Pro. I wanted the pro because it has the white case, and it matches the HTiB from Pioneer made specifically for the Xbox. I also purchased the Microsoft HDMI cable with audio adapter, as I wanted to have an HDMI signal passed to the TV, and the audio goes to the receiver. The problem I am encountering is that when I plug in the HDMI and the AV adapter into the Xbox and then turn on the TV, it cannot recognize that the HDMI cable is in HDMI 1. When I take out the AV adapter for the audio and JUST have HDMI, the TV recognizes it, and i get a picture and sound.
So in order for me to get a picture, the AV adapter cannot be plugged into the system when the HDMI port is being used. In case you were wondering, the reciever for the surround sound cannot even detect that the Xbox is outputting Dolby Digital.
My question is should I return and exchange my Xbox 360 as the AV port may be faulty when used with the HDMI cable? Or is it the TV?
Any help is appreciated

Don't you think after a series has a lot of games it should just quit making games? Examples: The Tony Hawk Series, WWE Vs. Raw, and others like that. The makers of the game just want to release something to make money and it feels rushed and crappy. I remember how good the first few Tony Hawk games were but now they are all out of ideas and the series sucks a lot.
