I am trying to program my Direct TV remote control to my 24" Dynex TV. Dynex does not appear on the TV listings which I am given. I've tried using other TV Manufacturer's but it gives me a message stating that my TV is not programmed. What can I do to resolve this problem. Thanks. Mike (Answered August 9, 2008)

None of the TVs I've looked at have a video out jack. How can I record stuff onto my VCR if there's no video output capability? The salesmen, as expected, have no clue. (Answered June 26, 2008)

Just bought and set up a 42in.JVC 1080p LCD TV. The salesman tried to sell me an HDMI cable for $80.00 claiming that this set required it to maximize picture quality. I didn't buy it and just went ahead and used the component cables from my previous Sony 720p projection TV setup. It looks good to me but I've since seen HDMI cables on eBay for $10.00 or less. Question: is there any justification in performance or quality to account for a $70.00 spread between what appear to be identical cables? Whatever the performance benefit, my main interest in HDMI is to eliminate some of the "cable clutter" at back of the set. (Answered June 10, 2008)

Have a Toshiba 56 in projection that after 20-30 min the Connivance is shifting to a point that you see 3 images (red, blue, white). After about a 45-60 min of the entire shift it stops and than you have to and realign the colors. Questions 1 Is this repairable? 2 If so what should I expect to spend? 3 Or should I just say good bye and get a new HDTV? Thanks (Answered April 5, 2008)

So how does one go about disposing of a 50 inch Vizio plasma? Can we recycle some way or just pitch it? (Answered March 25, 2008)

Vizio Plasma 50 inch P50 HDM--and all of a sudden no power. I have been told I have a power supply problem by vizio--this was so helpful. I did not know when I turned it on and nothing happened I had a power supply problem--but I digress. So I get routed to the repair people--get this. Without asking me what my problem is--they told me it will cost $615!! He never asked me what was wrong! This is the flat rate for whatever repair. So, here are my questions. One, should I repair a plasma that is less than two years old or buy a new one? Second, is there another option for me besides this repair scam? Is this a repair I can do? Thanks for listening.

I have a Sharp-LC46D64U. I recently switched to digital cable, and I am having a problem. I set the output of my motorola cable box (which is connected to the TV via component cables) to 1080i and my TV turns blank. In fact, my TV wont recognize anything higher than the lowest setting. The motorola manual says that will happen when the TV doesn't support the selected setting, however I know that my TV supports FullHD. Am I doing something wrong? What can I do. Also, when I change channels on my TV (not cable) it says, next to the number, 'analog.' Does that mean that I have to switch my TV to Digital, or something of the sort, would you know how that is done, if that is even the case. Thank you, I just stumbled across your site while reasearching my problem, and it was an exciting find! I think I will be frequenting your site. Walter (Answered March 1, 2008)

I own a 63" widescreen toshiba DLP projection t.v.. It has high definition of 720p. If I buy a blu-ray player, will the difference in quality between my standard DVD player (420p)and the blu-ray player (720p) be significant. I am told that the difference will not be significant, however given the size of the t.v. I wonder if it will be much better. Thanks (Answered February 15, 2008)
