What kind of "big" whole house filter (DSL) are you talking about?


Google is our friend:

Very similar to what I have:
SPSH70SR1
http://www.hometech.com/techwire/dsl.html#CC-SPSH70SR1

Other types go inside the Telco box: (Certain sizes):

These you have to be very carefull to get the proper one.

Rick,
Hey?! What can I say? It was the first thing that came to mind in the 
middle of "nothing else seems to work ATM!"  The tin foil will go away in 
the am, maybe...LOL!


Yes, I'd like to fix my collection at the NID, but until I dig around in 
the crawl space and find where the current phone line ground goes, I can 
not yank the old corroded terminal off the house. The NID is "grounded" to 
the old terminal block's ground(!)  Could not convince the phone guy to 
just drive a new ground rod for the NID.

I filter the entire house for DSL at the phone company NetWork interface

I call it a "whole house" type filter... (It is big.)

I then run unfiltered lines to the DSL modem...
(Most people do that the other way around...)

Al,
Yes, I am still working on/against the parallel AC power and cat5e 
cables.  I am aware of this problem. The best I can do right now is 
segregate the two ~2ft. apart.  The only other option I have is to run the 
AC power line (extension cords, 12ga.) back around the other 3 sides of the 
dining room.  Did that 2 years ago, but visitors (and me) kept stumbling on 
the big cords where they crossed thresholds. Understand the problem. Still 
a work in progress. Thanks for the reminder.


Don't understand the missing index.txt file. I checked the zipper before I 
attached it. Maybe Eudora is acting goofy again. Good thing I duped the 
index in the msg body. :)  Nothing worked today.

Best,
Duncan

I would suggest not having the cat5 cables and the utility power cords
running parallel. Best is not near each other.
Second best (and plenty OK) is to cross at right angles.

Re: [H] Satellite PC Card needed

But not Dish or Direct TV, you can only view unencrypted satellite
broadcasts.  While there is a lot of good stuff on those, he's a new
Dish subscriber so I'm betting he's under contract for at least the
next year.

Here is a web site where you can get all your answers to satellite TV.
There are thousands of stations around the world you can view.
Have fun.

  My recommended method would be by using an actual sat receivers S-Video output and a good PVR card. It wouldn't be very practical to try and capture a component (YPbPr) or HDMI signal. You could get a PVR/DVR receiver and let the receiver do the recording. There are devices called IR blasters that can be used by your PC to control the satellite receiver.

Re: [H] Satellite PC Card needed

[Tharin Olsen]

I don't think you should bother with a DVB-S card for unless you like to 
tinker, cuss, and holler. As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago the signal is 
encrypted so you would have to get 3rd party stuff to decode it. This is 
something that you could possibly get working one day after much effort and 
then the next day it would be non-functional for an indefinite period of time. 
Doing a web search with appropriate keywords, i.e. "dish fta dvb-s forum" 
should yield many results for various forums that discuss FTA satellite 
reception. This is a topic that doesn't usually have much hand holding 
available. Expect some people to be rude if you go about asking a question that 
has been answered in previous threads or worse a FAQ sticky.
   
  So are you going to subscribe to a package with HD channels?? I think you 
will only be able to get standard def programming with todays dvb-s cards since 
dish network requires a an 8PSK demodulator for HD. 
   
  My recommended method would be by using an actual sat receivers S-Video 
output and a good PVR card. It wouldn't be very practical to try and capture a 
component (YPbPr) or HDMI signal. You could get a PVR/DVR receiver and let the 
receiver do the recording. There are devices called IR blasters that can be
