Re: [IRCA] 820 Tampa HD Gone. Good riddance, bad cess; 21 0144Z OCT 08; PVZ
Yes HD radio no good. HDTV looks nice but BAD implementation. What else do you expect from the FCC & others in Washington ? Today I go for a new job to keep me off the streets & out of the gin mills. After 35+ years of fixing TV's & other such things I will be paid to junk them. Pallet after pallet of TV's piled to eye level. Must be 500 of them & more come in every day. Then there is the other electronics to junk. Most still work or easily repairable. Many very new, even quite a few HD's. Biggest waste in US history. When the bill comes in for my Mass. master tech. licence I wont be paying it, its useless now. Think I will send it to the " Good ole days museum" if there is one. 73 Tom Jones Mason N.H. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > HDTV ..well good idea...

Re: [IRCA] OT Remote control
Patrick Sounds like what you have is a tact switch ( tactile ). The good news is they have gone into almost anything electronic for over 20+ years. Must have made a billion of em by now. The bad news is there are many styles. If you are lucky you may find an old fashioned TV shop with a junk pile but they are all but gone. There are a few very common ones used in most things. I used to see assortments in catalogues years ago, you may check some of the TV-VCR parts houses. When looking check the following.. through hole or surface mount pin layout & case style case height button height Dont expect much help from parts wholesalers the profit is pennies each. Good luck Tom Jones Mason N.H.

Re: [IRCA] iPhones and IBOC
That makes me want to reach for a bottle of Gerotol. Hoperfully we will get 10 yrs of the "real" oldies first ( 1950-1962 ) before that. Dont see much of a future in MYL type stations with that generation sadly dropping like flys. As far as IBOC goes it must be all but dead. How many AM's are getting conned into it lately ?

Re: [IRCA] OT TV converter boxes
I had a Samsung box at home & got nothing. I have 2 strong NTSCer's and a ton of weak but watchables. From what I have seen with new Sony TV's is you do need a decent signal for stable pix. Stations 60 + miles away will not come in unless you are on a hill & have a rotor & good antenna. Ears will work 25 miles away but you get break-ups often on some stations. One thing many customers dont grasp is to use the parallel UHF channels to find a signal the auto program misses. In other words if you want WBZ ch 4 Boston HD you would enter 30.1 then fiddle & wait ( often many times ) If you get it add it to your list of channels to scan. On the Rat Shack boxes we have been getting calls that they cant get them to work. Never checked one out, they just returned them not wanting to gamble a service call for us to prove what was wrong. 73 Tom Jones Mason N.H.

Re: [IRCA] OT (Off-Topic) Question on TV Brand Reliability
I have been in TV sales & service since 1971 I wouldnt touch it with a 3 foot #8 nutdriver Also if he has cable no need to upgrade anyways, wont see a difference. I recomend all looking at new TV's read this artical. Its a new ball game now. No more cheap repairs IF you can get the parts EVEN for a brand name set. Get the extended warranty from the manufacturer ( cheaper than the stores ) that way you are good for 5 yrs. http://hdguru.com/your-new-disposable-flat-panel-hdtv/107 Our Sony salesman sent me this link a while back 73 Tom Jones Mason N.H.
