I need to convert video from my analog Hi8 to digital camera via USB on a laptop?

What hardware is available to do this? I have USB 2.0 and fire wire on my laptop. But because it is a laptop I can not add any video card additionl capture.

Dazzle is one of the devices that can convert from analog to digital and allow you to record using Windows Movie Maker or other similar programs.

Game Signal
In a basketball game, what does it mean when the PG makes a signal with his finger?

I was playing ball today 3 on 3 and the PG looked at me and pointed up a finger, I’m assuming he wanted me to get wide open? What does it mean?

Well it either means he is calling a play or he is motioning you to move to a certain spot on the court.

Switch Power

Switch Power
gas furnace doesn’t ignite unless manually flip power switch?

fan kicks on, ignitor clicks then shuts off with fan still running….but if we flip the power switch within a few seconds after ignitor goes off, then we can fire it up. Already installed new programable t-stat.

A lot of times if you can reset the power and get the furnace to fire there is something wrong in the circuit board, either a connection or a bad board. Its like the brain of the furnace is having a mental block and the power reset is resetting its mind for it . This is a common call from customers.

Coaxial Cable
How do I get my tv to pick up channels from the coaxial cable?

I’ve connected my philips tv to a coaxial cable in my new apartment, but every channel is fuzzy. I don’t have cable or dish, I just want basic channels.

“Basic Channels” do not just magically appear. You either connect your TV to an antenna and get them for free or pay some cable or satellite company to provide the signals for you.

Most likely the coax outlet you found is a cable company outlet, and the fuzzy channels that you see are just unintentionally leaking through.

There is a slight possibility that cable goes to a big antenna on the roof or that basic cable is included with your rent. If that’s the case the people who rented you the place would have probably told you.

A short conversion with your landlord or neighbors would probably clarify this. They might know what kind of antenna works best at your location also.

If you need to know what kind of antenna to try, your zip code, distance to transmitters, and what’s between you and the transmitters is critical information.

What do I have to put on my pc so that I could pair my phone to my pc without connector cable?

I have a blue tooth to my PC to synchronize with my mobile phone or any other mobile phones so he could send to the PC without any cable. Thanks!

Get a bluetooth adapter for PC. A very cheap one costs about $ 10, and usually come with software. As pricewatch.com or newegg.com.

Level Meter
Level meter is not growing in Oblivion?

I have the regular version of Xbox 360 game. I recently reached level 20. After leveling until then, I realized that the meter that tells you how close you are to leveling up does not move. Still in the same place it was when the first level up. My skills have increased and I have been sleeping, but still not moving. Can anyone tell me what's going on?

Yes, I had characters in the 70 + range, so do not worry any level limit. Just the level of primary capacity 10 times, then sleep, then level. Leveling skills class will not affect your no leveling at all. Try this page when you need help n some http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page

Dual Polarity
Why an LED light is low and the other is brighter, even the same tension that runs through both?

I designed a power supply dual polarity with +5 and -5 as output, with two LED to indicate that the circuit is working, which connects with the positive and the ground is brighter than the negative and land? I am sure that both are polarized!

Measuring field trips, while the LED light up. You may have an unbalanced circuit without good ground reference. Exchange LEDs also make sure they have the same characteristics. brightness of the light being switched from the current, not voltage, so if they have a slightly different strength will be brighter.

How I can convert coaxial cable core at the entrance to my HDTV without a connection to coaxial cable input of TV?

The television coaxial connector was broken. I have to connect the base to the TV using cable connections from other inputs, either HDMI or component or something.

The only way I know to get cable TV to your base is through the F connector you say is broken. If you have a cable box, then would also have AV, HDMI, etc to choose from.
