    It could be anything...

    Cars, guitars, wine,beer, ...anything.

    Seems like there is a lot of that we buy, use, read, listen to,etc


    that someone could benefit from learning about....

    I'll start. I'm thinking of switching from Time Warner (internet and digital cable) to Grande (which is possibly a San Marcos company... not sure). Our internet is slow and our TV never stops micro-blocking. Thoughts? Opinions? Experiences?

    yeah...

    TWC does two things that really pissed me off and were enough to have me switch to DISH...

    #1) they charge you to have your phone number unlisted...they charge you for NOT listing your number (although for you it would not matter since you did not mention phone svc)

    #2) they allow telemarketers to have your info--so telmarketers start calling you as soon as you are a paying customer

    How do you like Dish? Does it really go out any time there's a storm?

    actually I was worried about that...

    I have watched games through about 3-4 pretty good storms and it never went out...

    once though, I was watching some flick on cable and there was a good storm-and it went out for about a minute...

    it just showed on the screen that the satellite transponder was searching for a signal and then it counted to five (0-1-2-3-4-5) and it came back and that was it...

    otherwise it has worked pretty flawlessly

    I will give a basic review of some nice speakers I got from ebay about a month ago;

    AudioEngine A5 speakers...

    I had never heard of this company but I happened to be looking for some near field monitors and I was all set to buy either some Mackies or some KRK's or maybe even some Yamaha's.
    I was doing some research and stumbled upon the AudioEngine speakers.
    Every review that I read was full of praise for their speakers and I became intrigued.

    These are not really meant to be near field monitors as they are more suited to just regular listening and are not meant to have a FLAT response-as is most effective when doing critical mixes of music and/or using them in a home studio to mix some recordings.
    I realized, though, that I would only be doing professional-near field mixes about 10-20% of the time-and the other 80% would just be listening for pleasure.

    Long story short-I got these for 310 bux on evilbay...about a month ago...and ...WOW....

    these are amazing speakers (for 5 inchers)

    I bought the white ones which match well with my apple Imac and there are some bonuses.

    First of all ...the left speaker has a USB port for plugging in an Ipod,Iphone or a similar device which is really cool.
    You can also charge your Ipod on the left speaker by just connecting it to the top of the left speaker--pretty useful.
    Of course, you can also PLAY your Ipod directly through the speakers as you re-charge it.
    The 5 inch woofer is made of Kevlar and responds pretty well when the bass is cranked and the rear ported bass sounds pretty adequate when bouncing off of the wall-if you position it about 6-8 inches away.

    I tested the speakers first by playing ...Queen -Dragon Attack ...every thing sounded crisp and clear and the rear ported bass was more than adequate
    (if you require extreme bass or are heavy into rap/hiphop then there is a 10 inch woofer that you can add as the funds become available) but even without the extra bass cab--it sounded excellent.

    I played ZZ TOP's-Blue Jean Blues and I swear I thought I was listening to a large home audiophile system instead of , basically, some computer monitors...

    I won't pretend to be anywhere near a decent reviewer so I will refer you to the professional Audioengine reviews but if you are looking for some really nice computer monitors/speakers and would like to have something better that the crappy little computer tweeters...do yourself a favor and check out these Audioengine A5's...

    They also have the Audioengine A2's for 199 (or less on ebay) which I hear are pretty awesome also.

    Sounds like you could just have a weak signal. Have you tried a line amplifier?

    Have you called them about it?
    It could be a damaged line somewhere, or a bad splitter, or like some someone mentioned it could be a low signal and a house amp will help that.
    Call them so they can send out a tech (at no charge) and check your services.

    different thread...

    different topic....

    the second quotes were for all the tough guys that were saying...

    the cops...all pigs must die,etc...

    but you knew that and you had nothing to bring to this topic....

    and the first quote in THIS thread-was due to someone pointing out MY

    bad grammar yet not knowing how to spell environment-in case you were stupid enough to not get it.

    Unfortunately, I've called them multiple times. We switched to digital 2 or 3 years ago and we love having the extra channels and the DVR, but the microblocking pops up constantly. They've run tests and checked the lines and scraped the "penises" of the coaxial cables. It's so frustrating, we continually debate whether it would be better to downgrade to regular cable, but we really like having the DVR and pay-per-view. Grande is the other provider in town, but we wonder if we'll be getting the same set of problems if we switch carriers. In other words, is microblocking just part of having digital?
