Toshiba 52 in DLP, had the cable company ( Cox )out about 2 weeks ago,
to
install a cable card in my TV as it has a built in tuner and there is
no
need for a external box, the problem I am having is, I can't get all
the
channels in high def I am supose to all the time.

The cable company has been out 2 times checked the signal,programed the
card, all the connections and every thing checks out, they re-program
the
set to learn the channels, that works for a day or so then I start to
loose
channels, they are telling me that the TV manufacture and the cable
card
manufacture ,are sometimes not on the same page and its takes the card
a
few
times to learn and hold the channels.

Got them coming out tomorrow to check it out again and I want a
different
card.

Anyone else experiencing the same or similar problems, with a cable
card.(
Motorola card ) I don't want a big ass cable box on the tv when I
paided
for
a built in tuner.

Thanks
Tom



TV is getting way too complicated....
I just turn mine on, flip channels with the remote and watch it.
Well, once and awhile i got to rotate the antenna.
But no cards, no worry about HD, none of that, and best yet, no
monthly bills.


Better pay attention. The feds are shutting off free TV in 2009 to free
up
the bandwidth for communications. Pay to play is the US way.



That's not true. The only thing being shut down is analog broadcast TV
(NTSC). It's being replaced by digital broadcast which is also free,
the same content, plus HD capability and it's already available in most
areas.

Really? Are you saying that they are going to broadcast (that means radio
waves) a digital signal that can be received via antenna? Or are you talking
about a digital signal that is transmitted via satellite that is recieved
via dish? Give me a link so I can learn more about this new free service.
