It's a multiple input 32" Color CRT TV that is inside a woodgrain cabinet but still sets up on a TV stand. it has multiple inputs and two antenna inputs. but i don't have a manual and cannot figure out how to set the clock on it. when i bring up the OSD it shows: EXT-2 --:-- The TV is from...

Does anyone out there know the sequence of buttons i need to press to open up the Service Menu on this TV? it's a flat-CRT (tries to be a flat panel, early model from 2003) HDTV i got for free, all resolutions work all the way to 1080i (excellent picture!) but it has a minor pincushion effect on...

Jake and anyone in the Tri-state (Owensboro/Evansville) markets. MY44 (CBS 44.2) after 9PM is always out of sync. i can only describe it as the video and audio are out of phase. the lips move a few seconds after the audio is heard, like trying to watch a Youtube video on an older computer. it's...

Another score i found. not too surprised it still works but it has to be the cutest thing ever. i believe it is from the 1960s by the styling of it but it's a Hotpoint brand Porta-Cool A/C unit. the smallest window A/C i have ever seen! (never even seen a new one this tiny, although i was...

anyone from Owensboro/Evansville Market (is Jake'sDTVblog still a member here?) know where the heck my RTV went? WEHT-DT 25.2? it seems to have damn sports network crap on it! i wanted to watch my daily episodes of Knight Rider, Kojack, and others now it is gone!!!

I've been gone longer than i thought. is there any way possible to restore the look and feel of this forum to the way it was 1 year ago? when it was faster? i can barely do anything anymore, and the site takes longer to load on a 1GHz machine than Facebook would on a 486DX

Anyone familiar with the iRobot Roomba??? $20 and works!!

Yes, my Linux amazement died off when i found out that Facebook games such as Cafe World eat up tons of RAM and the only browser that works on Linux is mozilla-based versions such as Firefox and Iceweasel and i was finding every single one including Opera were eating 110MB of my 256MB of RAM to...

LOL, it appears that Firefox has been around since 1969, according to update history!

Remember when these were more prevalent? they are only now a rare reminder of where the Cellular Telephone started its impact on the world. MIcrowave Communications. if you have ever watched shows like Magnum, P.I., or Emergency!, or Kojak, these were used by the business elite as far back as...

Yup, at least for me, i have two RTV networks...one's the usual local one, the other is from WPSD Local 6. Not much though--as the RTV on WPSD is exactly the same as the feed on WEHT 25.2....i have zero program guide data on that channel but from what i'm comparing on the different RTVs...

I've fallen in love with the gadgets of the '70s...i cannot explain it. maybe it's because most of 'em started the tech fads of the 1980s which further primed the boom of computers and the internet as we know it today? Maybe it is because various electronics, such as TVs, Microwaves, Stoves...

I watched the 2009 movie over and over again. first at a friend's house and again and again on MegaVideo. i kept finding the bad guy, Nero, quite similar to someone but couldn't place my finger on him... ...Until i watched Star Trek: Nemesis...and then i found him. Nero Nero's Vessel...

On January 1, 1980, the very first IBM personal computer was born. it sported a blazing fast 4.77MHz 8086 CPU, 256KB RAM, and PC-DOS. at one time, that was a fast, capable machine selling for over a couple grand! Hard to believe that this is where it all started ^^^ The picture is of a IBM...

Ya know what? i thought Owensboro, KY was the worst redneck town of all, apparently i was mistaken! General sadness? You know what? some people are just born to play basketball...i mean, there's just some thing that tells you they're going to be a great NBA player...i just can't put my...
