The amp is within 2 feet of the antenna in the attic. I have the antenna into a 2 way splitter that one side feeds my FM stereo and the other into the Channel Master amp. From the amp one more 2 way splitter and each of those feed a 2 way splitter. I have 5 tvs total. All the splitters are pro...

I guess it was fall before I got around to installing my antenna and amp. And all the new leaves in the trees is a very logical explanation. I was so happy that I didn't need a rooftop antenna... Oh well. Now I need to move it up there, drill holes in my new roof, and a ground wire. It never...

I bought a lake house last year about in the middle of Milwaukee, Madison and Janesville WI. About 40 miles from each. I didn't want to sign up for a dish for just weekend so I bought this antenna: https://www.amazon.com/RCA-ANT3036WZ-Outdoor-Element-113/dp/B0027VST0I And this amplifier...

I have a Nexus 10 now and am pretty happy with it. My Wife want's a tablet of her own so I figured I give her mine and get something new for me. This time I would like a keyboard/mouse that docks with it, like the Asus Transformers. Nice to be able to plug in a USB stick or gaming mouse. I have...

I considered a new one, but there is probably only 10 days a year I might play games on it, and for everyday use it is more than enough. I ordered the 8600M GT and perhaps I can sell the 8400M for a few bucks on eBay. I am also going to put a SS hard drive. It will be after Christmas, but I...

My Wife is getting a new PC so I am taking Her 2 year old Dell Inspiron 1720. It has T7300 Core 2 2MB cache processor and Nvidia 8400M GS 128MB video and 2MB DDR2 RAM. I will use it for work and games when on the road, vacation, etc. I play Left for Dead, COD 4, TF 2 and similar. I have a killer...

I'd like to setup a PC near my stereo for a jukebox setup. I'd like to copy in all my CDs and organize them by type, favorites, etc. Is there a software made for this? Possible a sharware one? Would Windows 2000 be a good operating system for this application? What kind of hardware would be...
