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

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.

They already are in most larger markets. Remember of course you need a
TV capable of HD digital.

The comments "The feds are shutting off free TV in 2009" are just
totally wrong.
