Thanks for your time Wolfshadow - at least it's nice to have another intelligent person brainstorm/troubleshoot with me. Will let you know if I discover anything Happy Holidays Kelly

Hey Wolfshadow . . ya know . . I plugged the kitchen TV into the antenna in the den (where that TV has not had a problem) . . and I didn't even think to rescan channels! or maybe I did - I don't remember. I had been troubleshooting for > 1 hour already and my little brain skipped a beat...

Hey Wolfshadow - thanks for sticking with this. It is a conundrum! So we have 2 TVs in the house - 1 in the kitchen and 1 in the den. Both have their own antenna hookups - connected to the cable connector on the TVs. The TV in the kitchen just suddenly lost all but 12 channels. They are on...

I have an original Samsung Galaxy tablet from 2011. Time to upgrade as I can't upgrade the OS and can't download virtually any new apps or upgrade existing apps. I will only use it via wi-fi. And I use it mostly for navigating while traveling, IBird Pro, internet access . well . . maybe...

I am wondering if I am better off with a 2nd backup battery for my laptop or an external power pack (like 23000mah+) to power my laptop on the road. Also - could I power my laptop and recharge from my 12v batteries (RV) instead of going dc to ac to dc via an inverter? seems illogical! or...

[/quotemsg] What codecs did you use when you converted the video? Also what software did you use to convert? I highly recommend getting familiar with Virtual Dub. It looks hard at start but once you get which codecs to use and what compression level you can convert the video for pretty much any...

Not trying to hijack this thread . . but was looking for an answer to this same question . . I'm not a techie . . can you help? My Aunt doesn't have cable - so she couldn't watch the Dem Debate. I managed to download a video from youtube - I then tried to convert it to a DVD (from mp4...

Where might I find a 12v DC power cord for use w/ my hp elitebook 8440p laptop. I moved into my RV full time for now and am thinking I should be able to run my laptop dc to dc from the house (RV) batteries. yes? where does one find a non-ac adapter power cord? thanks kelly

New considerations . . . I really want Win 7 64 bit - so I'm pretty much going with a refurb or off-lease - must have 1 year warranty . . from that . . ?? what about RAM: is DDR3 really so much better than DDR 2? looking for min 8gb capacity (probably 4 gb installed) is this website...

I'd post your question on the "laptop Tech Support" forum (http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/forum-111.html) - you'll probably get more help good luck kelly
