657 Questions

Can you convert your Chapter 13 bankruptcy to Chapter 7 if you had a previous Chapter 7 that was discharged 8 years ago?

No. A Chapter 13 that is converted to Chapter 7 must have been ORIGINALLY filed at least 8 years from the prior Chapter 7. So, if you filed Chapter 7 in 2001, then filed Chapter 13 in 2005, you can't wait until 2009 and then convert the 13 to 7 since it was filed within 4 years of the prior 7. In this case, you would have to wait until 2009 and then DISMISS the Chapter 13 and re-file a new Chapter 7 after the 8 years from the prior 7 expired.

How do you change TV from PAL50 to PAL60?

PAL 60 is an unusual format that is rarely seen now. Before answering the question, here are some facts about color encoding and frame rates:

PAL is the color encoding standard used throughout most of Europe and other parts of the world


NTSC is the color encoding standard used in North America, Japan and other parts of the world.


Countries that use PAL use a television field rate of 50Hz while NTSC countries use 60Hz.


Therefore, PAL signals are almost always 50Hz but it is quite possible to encode 60Hz signals using PAL. In fact, it is a relatively simple process to take a 60Hz NTSC signal and transcode it to a PAL signal, still at 60Hz. This is far easier to do than to convert the 60Hz signal into a 50Hz one. Some older VHS players and a few DVD players are capable of playing NTSC content and converting it to PAL 60. Many televisions of the same era would accept 60Hz signals although they did not have NTSC color decoders. PAL 60 was the ideal signal format to use with this combination of player and television.


In recent times, most televisions can handle PAL and NTSC at the normal frame rates. PAL 60 (and similarly, NTSC 50) are not used so much. Technically, most televisions are perfectly able to handle these somewhat odd signals but each manufacturer designs the decoding stages in different ways. To make it even harder, it is almost impossible to find out from a retailer or manufacturer whether a particular model will handle PAL 60. The best way to find out is to simply try it.

Can you connect a high definition tv to regular digital cable?

Co-ax cable is quite capable of carrying HD signals as part of a domestic cable service. However, optical fiber is now far more cost effective than copper so it si increasingly used for trunks with copper links carrying signals the last few feet into a home. Some are now taking fiber right into the home.

Regarding video signals within the home, co-ax cable is used to carry composite video (standard definition color signals) and this will not carry HD signals. This is purely because coaxial interfaces for HD in domestic equipment. Coaxial cable is still used widely in broadcast environments to carry SD and HD signals.

Can you use your old uhf antenna to pick digital signal on a digital t v?

The answer to the questions depends on where you are. In the recent change to digital in the UK, many existing analog aerials work perfectly with the new service although others have had to be changed.

Generally, in areas where the digital terrestrial service is using similar frequencies to the analog service and where there is good signal strength, the old aerial is likely to work. The results will vary between countries and even between areas. Try it and see if your aerial still does the job.

Can one build a simple homemade TV antenna out of twisted wire?

You can make a DB4 Digital TV Antenna out of a piece of wood and wire coat hangers. It works great and is very simple to make. It works better than rabbit ears! A free step by step tutorial can be found by using the link below. I have made 2 of them and they work great.

A simple yagi antenna can be made out of wire. Its impedance would be 300 ohms and this would have to be changed to 72 ohms to match the input of the TV set. This is done with a balun. Also the antenna should match the frequency that the channel you want to watch, this is done by 1/4 wavelengths.

You can always make one out of wire. It may not be (won't be) perfect, but perfection is not the goal. Functionality is. Simplicity is important. Depending on the wire you have, just do some experimenting to get something that work. You can rig up some "rabbit ears" or just try a simple "T" and see what happens. Impedances will not match, and lengths of the elements won't be spot on, but if you turn on your set and "play" with the thing, you'll get something that should allow you to at least watch some TV. What will be critical is which way the elements are oriented. You'll see big differences if you're holding the antenna and turning slowly around to reorient it; there will be one "best" direction, and one "worst" one. As long as your set is working properly and all you are doing is attaching some wire to the antenna jack, sticking it out into the air, and nothing else, you won't get electrocuted nor will you damage your set. Just be careful not to "mess up" your input jack on the unit. There are one or two spring loaded contacts in there to make contact with the center conductor on a piece of coaxial cable. Avoid jamming anything much thicker (and too long) into that type "F" connector (antenna connection) on the TV's back side.

Who makes dynex televisions?

Poster Below is wrong (or out of date ) Hisense makes Insignia ,Dynex and Best Buy Budjet 1080p Sharp product ( now) XOCECO used to make them .

Tier one is top like Sony and Samsung and LG with Vizio and others a 2nd tier and all the junk 3rd tier no such thing as five tiers outside of third world *maybe *

Dynex, along with Insignia, are house brands for Best Buy. You will Only find them there. The manufacturer is XOCECO, which stands for "Xiamen Overseas Chinese Electronics Company." I know, because I did a lot of research on this unit, and even spoke with a rep from Xoceco, who verified that over 90% of Best Buy's Dynex brand TVs are made by Xoceco. They also make a portion of the Insignia lineup. They manufacture TVs for over 160 brands worldwide, 12 of which are U.S. brands. They manufacture products ranging from entry-level to fairly high-end. They manufacture over 5% of TVs worldwide. Cosidering the number of brands that exist, that's pretty impressive. They assured me, LG does NOT make any of the Dynex brand products. Xoceco has manufactured for SEC, Sanyo, Polaroid, and many others. At one time, they were sole manufacturers for Audiovox. The Dynex brand has, according to Xoceco, been a tier two out of five in regards to quality, competetive with other entry-level models on the market. The Dynex brand is now at about tier 3, marking a deliberate increase in product quality, and being about mid-level in quality. This denotes mainly the new Dynex products released this year.

below is an LGD panel size

I bought a 42" LCD TV last night and i heard the sales associate say that Samsung manufactures the Dynex so that is why i bought it. The picture looked great and it had all the inputs and the price was great.

both below could have the same Samsung Panel

My 2c: I looked at a 19" LCD Dynex side by side with a Samsung 19" and the pictures were identical and quite good. And Dynex is 30-40% less in price than Samsung. How long they last remains to be seen but they get good customer feedback. And yes, the salesman at Best Buy said Dynex is BB's house brand and they're made in China.
