Recently we purchased a wall mounted LCD television. Absolutely amazing to have a television up on the wall just like a picture frame. I removed the installation manual first, got out the suggested tools, then made a quick trip to the local hardware store to make sure I had sturdy wall anchors so that the television would not fall off the wall. We chose what we thought would be the perfect spot in the living room. My significant other had already placed a call to the local Toronto TV installatio... more...

Right now in America there are two satellite TV companies battling each other for your hard earned cash. Those players are Dish Network and DirecTV.

While sales have decreased a little for Dish Network, DirecTV is still on a roll. Most customers will not discern any great difference between the tow, as the both offer the consu... more...

Direct TV will officially launch their "on-demand" service in the second quarter, so it should be out by the end of this month. How will the product compare with the true video-on-demand (VOD) products provided by cable TV companies like Comcast? A window to look through is the beta testing that has been going on with Direct TV "On-Demand." Ongoing testing by users has been happening since August 2007, and reviews have been split fairly even on the service. Some customer&#... more...

I'm a huge film viewer and I should have invested in some stock in Blockbuster because I am always there renting and returning movies for my high definition television. The workers at our local Pine Bluff store even know me by name. I am not ashamed though, I love movies, and they give me an escape from my long brutal day at work. One day after viewing my latest rental, I was channel flipping and I discovered many HD channels I didn't even realize I had. One of these wa... more...

Last year, my husband and I were having a walk around the subdivision. As we likely do, we talked about all the houses and what we like and don't like about each one. Even though we see the same houses each time we take a stroll, we sometimes experience something new to chat about. During a particular jog, we saw something interesting on top of one of the neighbors' roof. It was a antenna and it looked similar to one of those old-fashioned antennas everyone used to use instead ... more...

For my birthday this gathering, my parents bought me a nice TV for my dorm room. I know, I am really serendipitous to have such outstanding parents. My roommate is just as fortunate to have a roommate who has provided him with a major HDTV to observe during our late nights of studying or partying, whichever the circumstance may be at the moment. The only problem I found was that I couldn't afford the cable monthly charge for high definition channels. My parents told me if they bought... more...

ACAA competition was just around the block and I was getting stirred. I had my 52" HDTV prompt to go and my partner was planning to create some of those extraordinary game goodies I love to stuff my face with during the spectacle. I knew that it was going to be a extraordinary game because all the teams were worthy. Since I am originally from North Carolina, I root for UNC while my spouse roots for Duke. This makes it an interesting event in my refuge when UNC plays Duke. We ... more...

I'm a gigantic movie viewer and I should have bought some stock in Blockbuster because I am always there renting and returning flicks for my high definition tv. The people at our local Maplewood store even know me by name. I am not ashamed though, I just love movies, and they give me an escape from my long brutal day at work. One day after finishing my latest rental, I was channel surfing and I discovered many HD stations I didn't even realize I had. One of these was pa... more...

If you own a high definition television you can get high definition content! There are three options open to you: over-the-air signals, cable or satellite. Over-the-air signals... recollect the old relic antennas on all the roofs back in a day. Well consider it or not they are coming back in style! Only these are the hd antenna type that are specially designed to get signals that are digital and encode in HD. Another large plus over this antenna compared to the old analog is with and hi... more...

Do you have good hearted neighbors who are a bit behind the times when it comes to the high tech computer age we live in today? Well, recently I was explaining to my neighbors to the right of where we live about why we no longer had a Satellite TV Dish sticking out of the side of our home. I was explaining that I no longer need it because I was getting Satellite TV through my computer now and I was getting over 4,000 channels. I mentioned that I don't pay a Satellite TV bill e... more...

Satellite TV has gained in popularity over the last few years for good reasons. Many people live too far out of town to get cable, so for years they were stuck with antennas for their source of television signals. This meant that they got only a few channels, and quite often had to send someone outside to turn the antenna to hope for a better signal. But now satellite TV has given people in rural areas real entertainment again. Besides the access for people outside of town, satellite tv o... more...
