Digger asked:


I have an old comcast box so i decided to use it for my regular tv but the wires are not yellow, red, and white so i’m not sure where to plug them in. How do i use the box with my tv? The box was meant to be for HD tv’s but i think i should be able to use it on a standard tv.

I just want to use my laptop instead of a monitor. I use Dishnetwork, and each receiver box can handle 2 TV’s watching different shows simultaneously. I know there’s a way to watch it on your lap top I just don’t know how. Would the Slingbox do this? Help please.

I love my digital HD cable, but I’m pondering a move outside the city where satellite will be my only option.

My question is this:

Do the satellite companies still require you to have a phone line connected to your receiver?

While I’m asking a question about satellite tv, your opinion on DISH vs DIRECTV would be appreciated. Keep in mind that getting HD channels (even local channels) is extremely critical to my decision.

Also, I will want to get my Internet connection from whichever company I go with, too.

So I guess there are really three questions in here:

1. Do the satellite companies still require a phone line?
2. Do you prefer DISH or DIRECTV, and why?
3. What about their Internet options?

Thanks for your answers.

I just had satellite tv installed on my tv, and nowhere in the manual does it state recording from satellite tv to an old fashioned VCR. Is this still possible? I have a DVR (?) with this dish, but I want to record the old fashioned way. Can this still be done?

How can I record 2 shows at once, or record a show while watching live tv on the other turner. I read the instructions book already and followed the directions but it is not working.

Scotty H asked:


I currently have a bundled service with my cable company (phone, Internet, and TV). I am dissatisfied with the high cost of cable and poor service (always going out).

Can I replace all 3 services with Satellite?
Also, I have 4 TV’s. Do I need to buy a separate receiver for each TV if I want to view a different channel on each? Are receivers expensive? Will I save money in the long run?

Butkus asked:


I have DSL. Each phone jack inside the house has a filter supplied by the telephone company. I am dropping a new telephone jack to my satellite TV (Directv) DVR. I would like to hard wire this up in the attic. But that would mean the telephone dial tone connected to my DVR would not be filtered. Is this OK, or does the Satellite TV telephone connection also have to be filtered if I have DSL?

kendire12b asked:


Clear QAM and OTA HD use coaxial cable (and are HD), but I’ve been told the coaxial TV Out on an HD set top box would not output in HD. I have a PCI HD tv tuner card that supports clear QAM and ATSC. Is it true that connecting the coax TV Out from the STB to the tuner card would not result in HD recordings? If so, is there a component-to-coax cable that will allow me to record in HD? It would be nice to record cable HD channels w/o renting the company’s DVR.
