In Feb. 2009 when TV signals go all digital and we no longer can use our TVs with standard inputs and tuners without a digital-to-analog converter box, how do these devices work as far as multiple devices?

Will we need one converter box for each device (TV, VCR, etc.) or can one converter box be used to feed a signal into both devices so you can watch one program and record another?

Here's the rub, for the first time ever, last week the screen went black for about 20 minutes. The sound remained and once the picture came back they haven't had any problems. Is this an indication that the TV is going out? Currently we have an analog old TV with cracked speakers, so we are tempted if it is fixable and not too expensive.

I have a Charter cable box and spanish subtitles pop us on NBC, but not on any other channel. Sometimes random letters pop up on the screen too. What can I do to get the subtitles on the NBC channel to go away? Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I have connected my LG 29-inch TV as a second display for my PC using a S-Video cable with a four-pin SVideo connectors on both ends. My PC has a Geforce FX5500 AGP card. I play a movie on the PC, then send it to the TV using the UltraMon app, picture quality is quite good.

While the video plays fine, there is no audio. I've tried various audio cables (4, each 10 meters in length) but the audio doesn't happen. I am really desperate now because if this doesn't work, the Rs. 5000 (about $100) will go down the drain. The audio slots available on the TV and PC are:

* PC: 3; Blue, Green and Pink(in order)
* TV: 3; Yellow, White and Red (in order)


If this info doesn't help much, let me kno0w and I will post photos of the audio slots on the TV and PC.

Right now I'm behaving like a small child who starts howling if the sand castle breaks even before it is finished.

Please help out this novice.

Much appreciate.

Turned it on this morning and the screen was grey with lines running across it. You can hear the sound from the channel in the background but then it pops and clicks and then after a few seconds a lightening bolt looking thing starts at the top and shoots down about halfway through the screen and the tv turns off. Is it fried? Its a normal tv, not flat screen, lcd, plasma, hdtv, just an old school guy. It is probably pushing ten years old. thanks guys.

A friend has a Sony 42" Plasma television. I don't have too much detail (I am sorry) but he was just given a larger TV and wants to sell the Sony. He said he would sell it to me for $700. Is that a good deal for a used (but in great condition) Sony Plasma Television?

Model no. 2181 (I think). My daughter was playing with the TV/remote and suddenly a blue screen with a red padlock appeared. I cannot get this to go away. I don't have the users manual, I have looked on the web but I cannot find anything! Help urgently needed.

I'm a college student, so I'm buying the cheapest TV out there. It's a 20" flat screen CRT from Emerson @ WalMart:

It says it comes with a digital tuner. We're getting cable Internet and TV installed from Comcast tomorrow. Do I need to get a Comcast digital cable box or can I just plug coax into the TV and I get digital TV? I don't really understand what the digital tuner means. I think someone once told me it's in newer TVs and it allows you to get digital cable TV straight into your TV without the box.

I want to watch online movies in my (Analog) TV, can I do that through an HDMI Cable? I'm thinking connecting the laptop to my DVD Player with HDMI output socket via HDMI cable, then this should show reception on my TV... btw, I can't download the movies, so I have to watch them online..

I have a T.V. that will not power on & no one seems to know what is wrong with it. When you hit the power button it will try to turn on but then powers it self right back off & will repeat it self 3 times & then you can not attempt to turn it on for another 5 minutes or so. The TV is not that old but it is not under warrenty & the place we got it from closed down. RCA is absolutuly no help at all & the TV repair man charged me $69.00 to come out & tell me that there is something wrong that it will not turn on (I knew that b./c that is the reason that I called them out there). If any one has any soultions please help me. We are getting new cable hooked up in 2 days & i do not have a tv in the living room to watch it on. Thanks!!

I was looking at tv's at Wal-Mart . They were showing a regular dvd on all their tv's with a movie that had black bars on the top and bottom of the screen. All the lcd wide-screens still had the bars (i played around with some of the tv's for a while and never could get the bars to go away) I thought the whole idea of a wide-screen was that you didn't have to look at those supid bars! Anyway all the people looked fatter on the wide-screen tv's than they did on the regular old square tube type tv's. People just looked more natural on the old style tv's. Is there a way to stretch the picture up and down (not just zoom in on it) on these new fangled televisions?

If I buy a DVI to HDMI converter, will I still need to run audio cables from my cable box to the TV, or does the converter take care of the audio as well?

My samsung HDTV randomly stopped picking up cable. When I screw the RF thing into another TV it works fine but with the HDTV it randomly stopped picking it up (all channels are scrambled.) Also it says DTV in the corner. Anyone know a way to switch it out of that... I think thats the problem. I can still hit "Source" and play PS3/360 but the cable wont pick up a signal.

It seems like nowadays every household has cable or satellite service. I remember when cable was a very exciting thing to have, while we had the bunny ears. Now the technology rush makes it sound as if were behind if we have an HDTV, but in another five years or so, thall be obsolete.

I recently just bought a lcd tv and the picture looks a lil fuzzy. Maybe I am use to the crt tvs but I was wondering what the brightness, contrast, hue, and all those other settings should be set on for the best possible picture.

I'm looking to buy a little TV for my dorm, and I was wondering where the best place is to buy it, and what size I should get (19".. 20".. what does that mean?) The cheaper, the better! My dorm will be small (it IS a dorm) and I'll have a roomie as well (she doesn't have a TV). Also it needs to have the proper accoutrements for cable. Muchas gracias!

ok. I have a standard cable box with the typical 80 channels from Time Warner. But, the problem is that the space where you usually see the time, or channel you're watching, now says "E4" and all I can do when I turn on the cable box is watch the TV guide. I can't switch to any other channel, not even see the current time.

I've tried fussing with all the cables and nothing seems to be fixing this problem.

Any ideas on what happened?
Thanks! : 3
