Milwaukee HDTV Technical Issues / Samsung Repair
Thursday Jul 09, 2015, 10:43:59 PM
I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation of a repair person who might take a look at my Samsung 52N650 TV.  The TV just started to turn itself on and off repeatedly. My (limited) research indicates that it is either the connection to the front panel control switch or capacitors. Really wasn't in the market for a new TV yet.  I am in Oak Creek.
Thanks

Milwaukee HDTV Programming / TWC Digital Tuner (DTA) question
Saturday Apr 18, 2015, 07:56:23 PM
I have a TWC DTA.  I receive some channels in HD (Local, TNT, TBS, FX, ESPN,etc) but not all in my package.  I called TWC and asked why and they didn't have an answer and they said to switch my DTA for a box.  Well that would have cost me another $12/month that I was not willing to pay.  The guy at the TWC store said I should only be receiving ch's 1 - 99 on my DTA but told him I was receiving more.  So obviously TWC doesn't know what they are talking about.  I did some research but didn't find anything conclusive. Only thought is that TWC in Milwaukee is not all digital yet and maybe when the switch happens it will free up bandwidth.  I think some other cities have already made the switch.  Just wondering what the group thought.

Milwaukee HDTV Recorders & Players / Copy from DVR to PC
Tuesday Mar 08, 2011, 08:00:50 PM
IS there an easy way to copy a recorded show from my TWC DVR to my PC so I could watch it later when I am on the road?  IE - can I connect the DVR to my PC via USB and transfer the file from the DVR to my PC?  I understand I might have to format the file to a Windows Media Player or QuickTime format but just wondering.

Thanks

Monday May 31, 2010, 07:53:29 PM
Mine is $134.59.  It used to be under $100 just 18 months ago (with a cablecard).  Here is my bill breakout.  What is everyone else paying.  Feels like I am getting screwed.

Video Digital Access Package $52.90
DVR $9.95
HDTV Video Recorder $7.65
1 additional @ .30  $.30
Package Discount ($10.00)
Road Runner Standard @ 7mbps $35.95
Digital HOme Phone Local $24.95
Fees & taxes - $12.82

Thinking of canceling for a week and seeing if I can get a 'new customer' rate.
What is everyone else paying?

Milwaukee HDTV Technical Issues / Two Way Cable Cards
Sunday Feb 21, 2010, 02:34:26 PM
Any news on if TWC is going to ever issue two way cable cards?  I used to have one but when they switched to SWD I could not get all of the HD channels.  I think that has been over a year plus.

Milwaukee HDTV Programming / TWC HD Channels
Tuesday Nov 18, 2008, 09:13:23 PM
Ok.... so TWC has added a lot of new HD channels lately.  How do I know which ones I should be getting for 'free'?  Example - I know that if the same channel is in SD and it is in HD you get that channel IE NBC, CBS,etc. Discoveryh HD, History, ESPN, TNT, TBS.  What I don't seem to get is ESPN News, Science, Halmark HD.  The TWC website is not clear.  Should I be getting these as well?
Thanks

Milwaukee HDTV Equipment / Mits 55807 Power Problem
Sunday Jun 08, 2008, 10:28:43 AM
I have a Mits 55087 that when I turn on the TV it comes on for 3 sec and then turns off.  I like this TV and it is about 7 yrs old.  Did some research at it may be a power problem?  I did have the IC Convergence replaced a fews back (where the colors split into 3) but this seems different.  Any ideas?  Worth getting fixed? Any idea how much that would be?
Thanks

Got a call from TWC the other day offering the HD Plus package (Universal, INHD, HDNET,etc) for $3.00/month for 6 months vs the 6.95.  I signed up to see what they have to offer. Thought you might want to know.

Milwaukee HDTV Recorders & Players / Unfinished DVD
Wednesday Mar 08, 2006, 09:31:42 PM
OK - I made a dumb mistake.  I copyed 3 hrs of programming, but I set the quality of my DVD recorder for 2 hrs now my disc won't read in either the player or my computer.  Not that I care so much of the contents, but would like to use the disc again.

Assuming I can't read because disc never finished.  Any ideas on how to fix?


Thanks

Milwaukee HDTV Equipment / MyHD 130
Sunday Oct 09, 2005, 06:55:36 PM
Just purchased the MyHD capture card.  Hoping to create my own PVR.  A few questions for the gang...


1. If I want to record in HD, I assume that I have to get the signal OTA because TWC doesn't pass the HD (504, 505...etc) unscrambled.
2. Any other suggestion on set-up,etc.

Thanks

Milwaukee HDTV Recorders & Players / Pvr
Sunday Aug 21, 2005, 09:33:57 PM
Anyone build their own PVR lately?  Looking to replace my VCR and have been waiting to see if any good HD DVRs would be coming online.  Don't record much, and don't like paying TIVO or TWC monthly fees.  Thought of building my own with Windows Media OS and a turner card.

Milwaukee HDTV Equipment / NAD Receiver Repair
Monday Jul 04, 2005, 10:43:06 PM
I have an older NAD 7225 that the left ch doesn't work (hasn't in years, but I never used the receiver in 5+ yrs, but now have a spot for it). In doing some research, looks like this was common.

Any advice on if I should get this fixed and how much it might cost and any recommendations on repair places?

Thanks

Milwaukee HDTV Recorders & Players / Capture Cards
Monday May 30, 2005, 09:26:09 PM
Doing some research on recording in HD.  I know Sony has a HD-DVR, but prices are still high ($700).  I get my HD via TWC.  Don't feel like renting their HD-DVR for the few show we record.  So.... I was check out capture cards.  Anything new worth looking at?  Have people had good luck with this option?  Any other recommendations?

Thanks!

Milwaukee HDTV Equipment / Mits gone bad?
Wednesday Aug 18, 2004, 10:07:37 PM
I have a 3 yr old Mits WS-55807.  All of a sudden the picture went bad on all of my inputs (cable, dvd). The picture looks "bent" like you are looking thru a curved mirror.  When I go to the TV guide channel, the bottom of the screen is in a semi-circle.  Also, the Green and Red colors have seperated from each other.  I check my cables. This should not be happening.

Any suggestions????

Milwaukee HDTV Programming / HDTV Football
Sunday Jan 04, 2004, 06:48:35 PM
I thought that the CBS game today was the best PQ broadcast yet of any NFL game I saw.  Makes Fox looks like they don't belong in the same league and CBS and ABC.

On/Off Topic Chit-Chat / SBC DSL vs TWC RoadRunner
Saturday Nov 29, 2003, 09:32:32 PM
I currently have Road Runner (had it for a few years).  Everything works fine and the speed has been great and I don't get any junk mail.  My issues is price.  We receive an educators discount and my monthly Broadband fee is still $33.70.  I see that SBC is offering DSL for $26.95.  I understand that DSL is now up to 1.5 mbs.  I was thinking of making the swtich.

Any advice???
