Can a digital cable box ruin a tv?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

I think so...my digital cable box was REALLY warm to the touch. When I turned my TV on it played a few minutes then went out. We have had digital cable for about 5 years and no problem...but then the box never was hot either. I think something went wrong in the box and fried my TV. Can't prove it...but my TV was fine until the box heated up....then it didn't work anymore.

Does S-video work with digital TVs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

S-video is a two wire interface that supports standard definition video only. Although HD equipment may have an S-video connector as an input or an output, the connection will only handle SD. Often, HD receivers or Bluray players will have a composite or S-video output to allow a standard definition output to be used on older equipment. Domestic HD is almost always connected via HDMI and is the only common standard for HD in the home. No other interface is normally available for the simple reason that HDMI can be protected to prevent high definition copies of material being made. If a copy of a program is to be made, about the only method is to use one of the standard definition outputs such as S-video.

How do you block your neighbors satellite TV signal?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

It would appear at first reading of the question that this is at best a somewhat un-neighbourly act if the objective is to block incoming satellite signals. If that is the objective, it also happens to be an offence in many jurisdictions under various telecommunications laws.

However, it the question concerns interference from a neighbour's equipment, that is rather different. Equipment in close proximity to other systems can sometimes affect operation and there are numerous reasons why it might happen. In most cases it will be caused by an equipment fault but the fault can be either in the system causing the interference or in the equipment that is showing the results of interference. As a starting point, check all the equipment for correct operation and also check mains and signal cables. Cables between devices can often generate more unwanted signals than the equipment itself. If there is no obvious fault to be seen, it may be time to bring in a professional to diagnose the problem before going further.

Why do cable co charge more for tv than satellite does?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

HDTV has demanded a great deal of investment by content producers and broadcasters. Studios, transmission suites, archiving, cable and satellite services have all seen increased costs for new equipment.

Broadcasting HD uses about 5 times the data rate of a similar SD channel so bandwidth allocation that will carry 5 SD channels supports just one HD channel.

Apart from the equipment, other less obvious details have changed. HD demands more attention to lighting, costumes and sets with some significant cost increases.

During the transition from SD to HD, charging a premium to receive HD channels is one of the ways to recoup the investments in infra-structure and production costs. As more viewers move to HD, market forces are likely to reduce the premium. In the coming years, we are also likely to see the end of some SD channels with the content offered only as HD. As we reach that point, the HD premiums are very likely to reduce to a minimal amount.

And let's not forget, because they can. As with any other commercial organization, broadcasters are keen to increase profits. If people are willing to pay extra for improved quality, HD pricing will remain higher than SD.

Need comcast remote code for tcl lcd tv?

Asked by Wiki User

It appears the TCL 55" uses RCA codes. Give RCA codes a try because they worked for me -- in my case, code 333 worked for my Avex R6 (URC-RC) Universal remote control.

Maybe the other TCL TVs use the same RCA codes.

How do i clean a Blu-ray disk?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Cleaning a VCR isn't difficult once you know the way it's done. The biggest problem would be in cleaning the video heads because they can be destroyed very easily by inexperienced hands.

One of the easiest ways would be to locate a 3M brand `Blackwatch' cleaning tape or to find one where you apply a liquid to a cloth type tape, as a last resort. Personally, I prefer the Blackwatch, but the best is to have it professionally done if you can afford it.

If it wasn't for the ease of destroying the video heads, I'd give you step by step on how to do it. However, if you search the internet, you should be able to find instructions on how it's done.

Can you program a cox remote to work with a digital converter box?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

remotes that are built for cable boxes like the cox remote is a universal remote control. although this is a universal remote, it normally will only work with cox digital converter cable boxes. therefore if the digital converter box that you want to control is from cox or motorola (or similar supported affiliate of cox) then pressing the CABLE button will control that said digital converter box. The AUX button will normally not control another digital cable box, because the manufacturer figures that the only converter STB that you will be using is theirs. thus, the CABLE button is only set for their STB. Normally to control weird or unpopular digital converter boxes - universal remotes are recommended. there are many brands, but make sure you find a learning universal remote. so in case the digital converter box code is not in the universal remote (like in the cox universal remote) then you can program it in yourself - hence the term "learning remote"

i picked up a ton of these last year for christmas for everyone in my family because they were dirt cheap and most ppl watch tv. so a universal learning remote for everyone was convenient & cost efficient for the state of the economy last year. i posted a link of where i got mine from, but there are many on the market. find what you like & purchase it, but make sure its a learning universal remote.

What is the Magnavox TB110MW9 converter box remote codes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The FCC expressly prohibits the use or modification to allow use of any other remote for converter boxes as part of a provision by the cable and satellite companies included in the law. Universal remote capability amounts to unfair competition. Hacking the converter boxes by using a remote not included with the device is prohibited by law.

A liquid crystal display (LCD) is a thin, flat panel used for electronically displaying information such as text, images, and moving pictures. Its uses include monitors for computers, televisions, instrument panels, and other devices ranging from aircraft cockpit displays, to every-day consumer devices such as video players, gaming devices, clocks, watches, calculators, and telephones. Among its major features are its lightweight construction, its portability, and its ability to be produced in much larger screen sizes than are practical for the construction of CRT display technology
