Sat Cable
I have a JVC LT-32EX18 LCD tv and hoked it up to the SAT cable from the settopbox. I can only get one channel?

Hooked it up to the SAT cable and ran the automatic channel selector, but it only captured one channel.?? The TV the cable was hooked to is an old CRT, and the NEW TV is supposed to be PAL and NTSC compatible.

Well the satellite box is only supposed to output Channel 3, and the Satellite box does all the channel-changing……

That’s why you only get one channel on your TV set…..

So, once that’s done, now you need to connect up either an HDMI cable or COMPONENT cable from your satellite’s Video output connections to get HD signals to your HD TV set…..

Because Channel 3 is still a LOW DEF signal out of your Satellite box anyways……they provide that output signal to be used for the long distance runs to other TV sets that are not HD TVs…..

And that box should be an HD satellite box (with the HD logo on the front of the box)

High-def tv provider: who is best?


I recently bought a high-def 1080 resolution tv. Thing is – I currently have digital, non-HD BASIC service for $16 a month. I’m expecting that I’ll have to change my subscription, and pay towards $60 a month, to get the HD programming. I have TimeWarner for my cable provider. My town recently got outfitted with Verizon’s FioS. I could probably also go with DirecTV, or Dish Network. I’m thinking of seeing which provider has the better “package” – tv, internet and phone. Any suggestions / recommendations out there?
Oops – I have Comcast, NOT Time Warner! Wow – many web-sites are poorly designed… I’ll have to call 800-numbers and/or Chat to get answers to my questions. Dish Network looks like the early leader.
