Which is the best brand for Sat Nav on a mobile phone?

I heard Tom Tom was the best, but what about other brands? can anyone tell me of their experiences with other brands, whether it was on your mobile phone or in the car?

Thanks

Answer:

Mine has CoPilot pre-installed and it%26#39;s not too bad. there is no other better brands/software. Tom Tom 5 is best and works with most Symbian based platform phones. with others you most likely to call the AA cos you got lost

Which is the best graphing calculator in the market?

I need to buy one since I am just starting college and my career requires very advanced math. Something an electrical engineer could find out helpful.

Answer:

How much money are you willing to spend? The TI-86 was standard equipment for higher math and engineering 7 years ago when I was taking classes. I got by with a TI-82. It all depends on how dependent you will be on the calculator. One big help is the TI-86 or the TI-89, I%26#39;m not sure which one, breaks down answers to differential equations step-by-step instead of just giving the answer. You can go with a TI-89 or a TI-92, but they get progressively more expensive.

I work for an engineering company, and I heavily rely on mine for storage of repetitive programs and formulas.

Whatever you do, don%26#39;t waste your money on a Casio fx model. They claim to be as good as a TI, but they don%26#39;t even do matrices. It couldn%26#39;t even get me through Precalculus. Texas Instruments

Which is the best handheld media player? psp, ipod, creative zen vision, microsoft zune, toshiba gig

ive been browsing the net and these turned out to be adequate media players.. all of them are about 30gb and cost around $200.. each has their good and bad traits.. but what is the best for someone who likes to watch videos, especially with subtitles?

Answer:

To be completely honest the best is very difficult to propose for so many reasons we wont go there.Now the most supported and sometimes the easiest to own and use is not,Ipod.I would certainly say that it is the easiest to use ,get accessories for and if battery needs replacement you can get a battery for a small amount of cash and do it yourself.If all you wanna do is listen to music and not mess about there is no alternative.If you wanna mess about then get something else..This is my honest and personal opinion and doesn%26#39;t reflect or diminish any other view however held... I would think an ipod video or something,but that%26#39;s what i have so i would really know! When you go to buy one ask the salesperson. They probably could tell you what%26#39;s the best.. Netac, you can play in your car also. I have 30g video Ipod and I can%26#39;t live without it. I use it everyday to listen to music, watch my favorite episodes, and watch movies. It%26#39;s great because you%26#39;re not stuck with the same set up. You can go in and make changes as many times as you want. The only down side is the time you spend getting your playlists in order the way you like it. But I%26#39;ll deal with it. :) ipod Try the best software I have seen AVS Video Tools.

It can convert to/from all key format, upload video or DVD directly to key portables like iPod, Sony PSP, Archos, Zen Creative, and mobiles.

It can capture video from DV or webcams, TV tuners, DVB-T, DVB-S, transfer VHS tapes to DVD, remove commercials, edit video, copy and burn DVDs and video files: AVI (DivX, XviD, etc.), MP4, WMV, 3GP, 3G2, QuickTime (MOV, QT), SWF, DVD, VOB, VRO, MPEG 1,2,4, MPG, DAT, VCD, SVCD, ASF, H.263, H.264, RM, DVR-MS.

Which is the best outside scanner antenna ?

To be more detailed I mean for pulling in far away signals.Let me know at Lonewolf_180_Proof@Yahoo.com

Answer:

The most popular seems to be the Discone antenna. The DS150S and the DCL. This depends on your needs. A Discone antenna offers the best all-frequency performance with omni-directional (any direction) reception. A log-periodic offers the best gain but is directional (receives best in a certain direction). Often, the discone mounted on your roof or other high point will do fine. If the signals are that far away, you might need the log-periodic. The link below can give you more information.

Good luck.

Which is the best portable GPS system on the market in terms of cost and coverage?

Answer:

I like Garmin too. Have had mine for many years. As for coverage, you can be anywhere in the world and should have access to 10 - 12 (24 are in orbit) satellites for most of the time. The system was designed this way. More if you get one the receives the Russian satellites. I could go on, but lets keep this simple.

Anyway I have a Garmin Etrex Legend (B%26W model) for my personal use. It was about $200 3 years ago. I am Team Leader of a local Search %26 Rescue unit which uses nothing but Garmin GPS (and a compass of course) when in the field. We use them mainly for their ease of use, battery time (about 24 hrs.on 2 AA), speed of satellite lock on (the time it takes to figure out where you are, ussually under 30 seconds most of the time around 12 seconds), and there size. Easy to carry around.

Anyway, hope this helps. :) It depends on what you are using it for? i l%26#92;really like my garmin. But it depends on the use. Mine is for geocaching and locating hunting spots stuff liek that. I dont use mine to travel or locate things that way. The smaller garmin units are affordable but you can go to a trimble unit and it willhave many more options and some run off of a palm pilot. Most have great coverage.

Which is the best projector to purchase for 5-7 peoples conference room?

Which is the best projector to purchase for 5-7 peoples conference room

It may use every day 6 hr. so it should economical

Answer:

The amount of use you say the projector will be used for says to me that you need to look at a commercial model. Available thru commercial video equipment dealers. Other wise get a large plasma or LCD. If the room is not dark people have a hard time seeing the image a plasma or LCD would be much better and more cost effective. mmm If you%26#39;re only talking 5-7 people, get yourself a 40" LCD monitor, its going to be about the same price, its going to look a whole lot better image quality wise, and you wont have the ongoing lamp costs associated with a projector. The LCD monitor will also be quieter and use less power.

Which is the best Value-For-Money split Ac 1.5 Ton (available in India)?

I think Hitachi is the best, since I already have a Hitachi window AC. But I have heard that Onida uses Hitachi compressors and is cheaper than Hitachi. I have also heard complaints about the indoor unit of Onida (noise, quality of parts used etc) and their after sales service (spares availability) which is putting me off. As far as LG and Samsung are concerned, their cooling efficiency is not as good as Hitachi/Samsung as they use chinese compressors (I%26#39;ve heard).

I%26#39;m looking for something between 20-22,000. My deciding parameters are:

Which is the best VCR for 24hr recording??

I have security cameras that are connected to tv. Tv has AV output. I m looking for one VCR (average price) for recording. Which is the best to use?

Answer:

I suggest throwing the VCR away.

Spend a few dollars on a better recording device ( CD-R DVD-RW player/recorder). They are more efficient. This is probably not answering your question but..

You should really look into a harddrive security system.

I was quoted a 80GB model with 4 camera inputs, with 1 standard camera, for about US1200. And this was about 2 years ago.

Using only 1 camera, you could tape weeks of footage on the harddrive.

Chip - Intel Celeron or Pentium Core 2 Duo / AMD

RAM

Hard Disk

DVD writer

So configuration plays key in having the prices. Most of the leading vendors have wide range starting from as low as 25000 for entry level (most of Celeron series) to high end ones at 1,00,000 +

Again the usage plays key to decide which one is ideal for you. If you buying now u can go for any make - Dell / HCL / Lenovo / HP which comes with Intel Core 2 Duo processor T 5200 with Intel 64 bit architecture.

Answer:

Get what sounds good to your ears. If you like to rock the house with loud music, then get a speaker that%26#39;s built for that like Klipsch, Cerwin Vega, JBL, Eltax.

I%26#39;ve never heard the Eltax speakers, but I have heard Klipsch, JBL %26 CW. I enjoy a loud, refined and detailed speaker with great imaging and a deep soundstage.

Which maglite is brighter?

I need to choose a maglite, and from what I can see there are two main different types the LED, and then the normal.. Please can someone tell me which is brighter, and the advantages/disadvantages of both. Thankyou.

Answer:

I believe the LED to be a %26#39;purer%26#39; white and therefore more bright. The nature of the LED construction should mean a longer life of the %26#39;bulb%26#39; and you may never need to change them. The LED are also low power users so your batteries should last longer.

Try the LED. you want the most power a bulb can handle without burning out.

if bulb is made for 4-6 d cells then use 6 d cell light. this would be brighter than using 4 d cell light.

if not bright enough use bulb made for 2 cell light and put in 6 cell light this is brighter, but burns out sooner.

Most tips are copper, and you can tin them with what ever you want. Actually better tips are steel plated copper, and have used them for years, but I don%26#39;t do any lead free soldering.

Do you mean a soldering gun, like the Weller 8200?

Those tips are also pure copper, but do burn out. You will have better luck with the plated versions of these as well.

Buy the real Weller tips, as knock-off, like the Radio Shack versions are thinner right at the tip, where they burn out.

Which Microphone should I use with a Sharp Minidisc recorder?

Model number: MD-MT15.

Please help!

Answer:

Depends on what you want to do with it. I%26#39;m assuming it has a mic input? What type of jack? Is it balanced or unbalanced?Your instruction sheet should tell you. If it has a mic input, you can use whatever you want. Cardioid is directional, omni isn%26#39;t. A dynamic type can be a bit more "warm" in sound, a condenser wider in range and brighter. Like I said, it all depends on how you are going to use it and how much you%26#39;re willing to spend. Check out a Radio Shack store. Bring the machine with you along with a disc and try different mics before you buy. No problem. They%26#39;ll let you. If it doesn%26#39;t have a mic input, you%26#39;ll have to get external pre-amps or a mixer board and feed the output of that into the line inputs of the recorder.

Which one is better- rechargeable battery ""7.2V 1900mAh Ni Cd"" & "&qu

Answer:

Most any Ni-MH battery is better than a NiCd. The Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) batteries are newer technology. They do not have the "memory" effects that NiCd batteries have.

Plus -- in your example, the NiMH battery is twice the capacity of the NiCd battery so in that respect it is %26#39;better%26#39;.

. The plus side of a NiMH battery is more power, no memory effect, and it contains no heavy metals. The down side is that it is only good for about half the charge/discharge cycles of the NiCad battery.

The NiCad battery contains cadmium, a heavy metal that needs special handling and disposal. But the NiCad is a reliable battery that is good for about 1,000 charge/discharge cycles.

set top box or dth? in dth- tata sky or dish tv? how much it will cost to install n per month?

Answer:

i hv used both and i believe DTH is better...

reasons are:

1. STB is slower in responding to remote

2. my STB box often hangs and i have to "reboot" it very often

3. i still hv to deal with the cable operator fellow

4. service is not great... not to say DTH service is better.. but these guys are worse

between Tata Sky and Dish.. i think dish is better since they have a postpaid billing

for tatasky you have to buy those vouchers... so its like a prepaid mobile... the problems i hv faced is

1. vouchers not available freely

2. dealers dont stock vouchers of all values

3. sometimes tata sky comes out with deals on the vouchers but dealers dont konw about it

4. the "recharging" of your tatasky a/c with a voucher can take upto 1 day before you can watch tv... yes... it has happened to me... $20-$30 per mopnth but its totally worth it! dth

tata sky

atleast 4500/-

%26 select packages as u like

super saver package is best it include almost

110 channels,active sport, active news, active khaber, active star news,showcase(u can order movies)

cost 300/month dish tv is better wen u care about it would cost approx. 2500rs for installation and 1yr rent free on other hand tata sky has more options installation is same but billing would be confusing look out. hi mitts i will recommend u to Tata sky for instalation it will cost only Rs 5000 %26 that u have to Rs 200 per month...

Which one should i buy a inverter or a generator?

I have frequent power cuts . my primary use is my computer.

I want to know the advantages and disadvantages of a generator

and inverter. my requirements are 1000 watts.

Answer:

It depends on how long your power cuts happen and for the time length they happen for. If the are short, like 1 or 2 hours once a day or a couple days. if so us you look at getting an UPS(Uninterruptible power supply). If your power is drop for a more then 4 hours a time then you look at the Generator.

But for most people will just need an UPS. An Ups will give u more then the time u need to save any info you need. Generators willl cost a lot more and not as good for just a computer as an UPS will be.

No matter what u use. you need to make sure your router/modem for your intenet is also on the UPS. If it isnt%26#39; then when your power drops then so will your net.

There are a lot of different UPS out there for 250watts to 5000watts make sure u get one for the time lenght and watts needed. inverter is better Honda generators have inverters in them...

Who inserts commercials in my Dish Network channels?

I have Dish Network and just about every third commercial these days is advertising a "male enhancement" product of some kind. It is obvious that these commercials are being broadcast over the regular commercials because often I see the last half second of the commercial that was supposed to be broadcast. Is this something Dish Network is doing? Don%26#39;t the channels that are selling the original commercial time object? How can I get this to stop? I am really getting tired of seeing these things.

Answer:

Dish Network actually places these commercials. Generally, their is a split of commercial inventory between the network, local carrier and sometime the buyer of the time. In Dish%26#39;s case, they are selling those spots, so you can%26#39;t get rid of them. The partial commercials you are seeing are from the network.

I would complain to Dish network if you would like them to stop. I just have to agree with the previous answer-- Dish Network indeed is the one inserting the commercials. If you find the commercial offensive, you can complain about it on their customer service department. Otherwise, your best bet would be tro change the channel for the meantime that commercial is airing.

Who invented the alarm clock?

Answer:

Levi Hutchins invented the alarm clock in 1787. The story is below.

He was a 26-year-old clock-maker in Concord, N.H., a New Englander with a Yankee conscience. He believed in being at his job on time. It was his "firm rule" to awaken at 4 A.M., whatever the season. But sometimes he slept past that hour, and was distraught the rest of the day. What he wished was a device to rouse him at the exact hour he desired to be up. In past times, people had often depended upon the sun to awaken them. But in New England, at 4 o%26#39;clock in the morning, there was no sun. Then this clockmaker looked at his shelves of clocks and was inspired. As he would write, "It was the idea of a clock that could sound an alarm that was difficult, not the execution of the idea. It was simplicity itself to arrange for the bell to sound at the predetermined hour."

He constructed a pine cabinet 29"X14", transferred the inner mechanism of one of his large brass clocks into it, inserted a pinion or gear. When "the minute hand of the clock reached and tripped the pinion" at 4 o%26#39;clock, then the "movement of the pinion set a bell in motion, and the bell made sufficient noise to awaken me almost instantly."

Hutchins lived to the age of 94. He never bothered to patent or mass-produce his alarm clock. He wasn%26#39;t interested in money. He was just interested in not oversleeping. He achieved his ambition. Levi Hutchins in 1787. I do not know who invented it but, he must have been a masochist. Who else would invent something that irritated so many people so much?

Who is better... Plasma or lcd tv?

Answer:

LCD TV%26#39;s are by far a better tv the plasma! For a couple of reasons:

1) LCD is cheaper to own and buy

2) Plasma%26#39;s will burn out in about 4 to 5 years, so you would have to recharge them, witch can be very costley 9 big buck!

3) There are no coax connections on a plasma, so one would end having to by an RF Modulator!

4) There not as heavy as a plasma!

5) and the LCD Tv%26#39;s you can touch the screen with your finger, If you touched a Plasma screen with your finger, the oils would run the screen!

6) and the plasmas require a special cleaner when trying to wash the screen! The cleaner also comes with a warning label that it can eritate ones skin! The LCD TV%26#39;s can be wshed with glass cleaner, just don%26#39;t spray it directly on to the TV lol!! Personally, I like plasma better because it seems brighter. LCD runs a little less costly. Plasma is cheaper and has a wider viewing angle then most lcd%26#39;s but they can overheat and get burn-ins. Although LCD%26#39;s have smaller viewing angles, are more expensive and can%26#39;t display deep black, I like them better because of crisper images, no risk of burn-ins and because they can be brighter than plasmas. LCD%26#39;s are rapidly catching up to plasma in its shortcomings so some better brands don%26#39;t have the problems mentioned above. LCD cause you don%26#39;t have to put a hole through your wall! LCD T.V%26#39;S are more costly and if you visit a store these are the ones the sales agents will push. We are fortunate to have LCD and plasma and we as a family much prefer the plasma t.v. (The cheaper of the two) The clarity and definition of the picture is outstanding. hope this helps :-)

Who is on the electrical approvals list for new zealand, how do i get a copy of the list.?

i am trying to get copies of the approval certificates for electrical switchgear from australec. mainly to cover the switches, power outlets and circuit breakers.

Answer:

You should contact the manufacturer directly. If you required, in your Purchase Order, that their equipment meet the NZ electrical safety standards, they should send you a copy of the certs. If you did and they won%26#39;t send them, reject the items and return them (I%26#39;m sure they will get you the certs when you ask for the Return Material Authorization number, rather than take back the items).

If they advertised that they were certified (but you didn%26#39;t put it in the PO), they should send copies of the certs. If they won%26#39;t, reject the products as unsafe and offer to turn them over to the authorities for selling unsafe equipment in NZ. Again, sending you some paper is a lot cheaper than the alternatives.

Of course, you might actually have to return the products because they really aren%26#39;t up to NZ safety standards.

Who made up the names for the fonts on the pc?

Arial?

Blackadder?

who made these up?

Answer:

In the early days of the printed word, printers designed their own styles of typeface. The typefaces (or fonts, as they became to be known,) were named after their designers. One famous designer was Garamonde. In imitation of this style, there is a computer font called "Gourmand" to avoid copyright infringement. Modern fonts that do not imitate traditional designs can be called whatever their designers like. I think it was god. He put all the possible fonts for microsoft word on the back of the tablets just when he gave them to moses

Who still uses VHS tapes rather than these new fangled DVDs ?

Answer:

Haven%26#39;t figured out how to set up the video yet.

It%26#39;s hard to get the Beta max tapes now, I%26#39;ve been thinking about getting one of them new fangled VHS ones me...and i still have a turntable and record albums...and a working 8 track player with tapes to go with it. me ,why,lol No... I never had any good VHS%26#39;s anyways. have both u cant get some things on dvd (the good old classics) so im keeping my video player haha me. I like them better. They don%26#39;t skip when they are slightly scracthed (if they can get scratched at all.) I do. I still have a lot of favorites on VHS. I do have a DVD player, so I%26#39;m not a total Luddite. i have dvd/vhs combo on a 65" hd tv with a 300 watt surround system and a xbox 360 also premium hdtv digtal cable on demand We use both--just bought "Little Miss Sunshine" on DVD last weekend--but I can%26#39;t see myself ever transferring all my

VHS tapes to DVD; the cost would be prohibitive.

Good luck. I use both.

I use DVDs to to record things I want to keep, because of the superior picture quality and the ability to skip quickly to specific tracks.

But I use VHS tape for things I probably only want to see once, because tapes are cheap and are easily erasable. I use both, and I am also going to buy a USB turntable so that I can put all my old lp%26#39;s onto CD or DVD.

I can%26#39;t get rid of my VHS I have too many home videos on them, it would cost me a fortune to convert them all to DVD, and apparently DVD%26#39;s only have a lifespan of 10 years, and then they start to degrade. VHS? I still have a black and white television set. Why invest in new technology when the old stuff will do? I DO AS WELL. I HAVE GOT A BIG COLLECTION OF THE TAPES. NOT THROWING THEM AWAY. THEY WERE GOOD BEFORE AND THEY ARE GOOD NOW TOO .

Who thinks a phone should just be a phone? plaese read my rant and tell me what you think about toda

You get a new phone right, use the camera for a few days, use the mp3 for about a week till you see it%26#39;s too small and the same song keeps repeating over and over (and you more then likely already have an mp3 of some kind) and then you realise that having all these bits and bobs on it just makes it the size of a brick in you pocket!? Who agrees with me that there is just no point in having these things put on your phone as it is a phone and not a part of batman’s utility belt?

Answer:

Can I extend that rant to devices in general? This is like the 1980%26#39;s when they started putting digital clocks on everything -- can openers, fridges, coffee makers, you name it -- because it was easy to do. The end result was that everybody%26#39;s house was filled with flashing 12:00%26#39;s because nobody could be bothered to set clocks all over the place. The manufacturers finally learned and stopped doing it. The gizmo manufacturers of the new millenium are doing the same thing now, only now they%26#39;re putting in cameras that take crappy pictures and music players with limited functions that only make the phone harder to use. Eventually, consumers will push back (hopefully) and say that they just wanted a phone.

And what? You didn%26#39;t get GPS on your phone? Time to upgrade, dude. i agree camera is good with kids but other stuff a load of rubbish I haven%26#39;t got a mobile as I don%26#39;t even see the point of having the phone; let alone all of the gadgets as well. If you are a business person then maybe, but all of these little twerps phoning their mates on the bus etc. is beyond me. I use the mobile as a mobile phone, I don%26#39;t waste time with its fancy functions or games, they are kind of useless to me Right. That is why I am getting a KRAZR next time! I agree with you about the mp3 player thang and all that. I quite like having a phone on my camera for those funny occasions when you %26#39;just wish you had a camera on you%26#39;. Dont like the fact that horrible little teenagers use it to film themselves beating up some poor old pensioner.

Who would seriously pay $1000 for a PlayStation3? only good thing on its the blu ray player rite?

Answer:

I HATE play stations. if i had the money i would buy it i totally agree and it seems like playstation doesn%26#39;t have many original characters I know a few people that have PS3 - my brother included - and none of them paid that much. The resolution is awesome if you have a good display, but they need to come out with better games.

Some people have a lot of disposable income, and we can spend our $$$ however we like. If we want something cool now, rather than wait until it%26#39;s cheaper and everyone else can get it too, then that%26#39;s our business. No, the PS3 will Not be $300-400 in 1-2 years. I seriously doubt that Sony will drop it%26#39;s price within 2 years. It took a little over 2 years for the PSP to drop to $169.00, but that%26#39;s a different story. A stand-alone Blu-Ray Player costs $1000 by itself. The PS3 has Blu-ray playback and its just $600. Its a bargain to me. By the time PS3%26#39;s are $300-$400, the Playstation 4 will be on everybody%26#39;s minds.

Who,when and where invented the following:?

INVERTER

CHARGER

ELIMINATOR

TRANSFORMER

DYNAMO

ELECTRIC CELL

ELECTRICITY GENERATOR

Answer:

Otto Blathy (1860-1939), Hungary — co-inventor of the transformer, alternating current (AC) and turbogenerator

Miksa Deri (1854-1938), Hungary — co-inventor of transformer

Michael Faraday, (1791-1867), England — electric transformer

. Sounds like a "homework help" question that you could find in your textbook or even by a google search on the list of items.

Here, I%26#39;ll start you off. But feel free to do your own websearch.

INVENTOR OF THE INVERTER

When Toshiba Invented the Inverter technology in 1981, Toshiba as continued to maintain a comfortable technological advantage over many competitors . The development of the and new exclusive to Toshiba DC Hybrid Inverter system has reaffirmed this capability to innovate and maintain the technology advantage on what is a rapidly growing air conditioning market.

The Toshiba DC Inverter digitally controls the capacity supplied by the air conditioner, by modifying the electricity supply current frequency or intensity, to insure a smooth rotation speed or capacity of the compressor. This allows precise matching of the cooling or heating capacities to the actual operating conditions. When the room temperature is set far from the set point (required temperature), the DC Hybrid Inverter operates at maximum capacity to ensure the set temperature is reached quickly.

Once the desired temperature is has been reached, the Inverter precisely adjusts the capacity to maintain the temperature close to the set point.

Why does it take longer and longer for my DVD player to load a disc?

I place the disc in the tray and it either immediately says "no disc" or it goes on and on loading. Eventually it will finally load. Is there soimething I can clean inside the player to make it read the disc.? It keeps getting slower . I have cleaned the discs.

Answer:

You can find a laser cleaner (kind of like old VCR head cleaners.) It is a DVD like disc with little brushes on it. Or the player may be getting old. Goodluck. there are cleaner discs that have small brushes on them. It sounds like you%26#39;re getting some dust on the laser the laser is dirty, but don%26#39;t get one of those cleaners with the little brush. I have replaced lasers in players that have used them. You need to carefully take it apart, dip a cotton swab in alcohol, or lens cleaner (even better) and gently clean the lens. First get a lenses cleaner and do a clean up and if that is not working then :

Change your DVD drive it worked a lot for you, now you need to change it because your DVD drive lense become weak and cant read each DVD%26#39;s The optical pickup lens may be dirty. Try a cleaning disc. If this does not help, the optic pickup is probably at the end of it%26#39;s life. Most DVD players last 1-2 years with frequent use. In this case cleaning is not a solution. Your lens becomes weaker and soon it will be shutdown. You better consult a technician before it becomes worst. maybe it just nedds to be cleaned out sometimes if you open it up and just whipe lightly around the lens it tends to work a little better

Why ACs are rated in tons and not in kilowatts?

Answer:

ac%26#39;s are rated in tons coz if u start rating them in kw there is no direct way u can specify its capacity,as

for example

1 ton = 12000 BTU

1kw = 3412 BTU

so it means 1 ton ac have =12000/3.412 = 3.516 kw actually, the tonnage referes to tons of ice required to cool.

i.e. One ton AC%26#39;s colling referes to cooling which equals to cooling provided by one ton ice in 24 hours.

Why do all watch adverts show the time as 10.10?

Answer:

Its standard for photographers and film makers. Its relating to the aesthetics of seeing both hands clearly.

A pointless fact for you. The alleged alien autopsy video that was released by ray santilli, for an example, at the outset the clock on the wall is set to this time.

Of course it can be 10 past 10, or 10 to 2. so the pointers make the shape of a smile! or so my dad says anyway! Becaue 10:10 makes an angle in which you can see al the details of a watch like Logo, day, date, quarter marks, waterproofing seals etc. I think the symmetry is more appealing to the eye It is a historical, traditional thing. When the two hands are point to the 10 and the 2, it looks like the clock face is smiling!! All watches and clocks are set to this if they don%26#39;t have batteries and are on show. The hands are set this way to look pleasing to the eye and has been the tradition for the advertising agencies over the years. Ten minutes to two has the same effect. its meant to look as if its smiling at you. so we were told at school. You learn something everyday, I just did..!!! It is really not meant to be a %26#39;smile%26#39;.. It has been a tradition in the watch and clock business for many years.. Usually 10 after 10..(With the name of the watch in between.) On some models, with the name on the bottom part of the face, they use 8:20 ! It is just an aesthetically pleasing display.

Why do AM radio stations have more static at night? What can I do to improve the reception I get at

Answer:

Most cheap AM radios are junk with terrible selectivity, making all the stations "run-together".

A quality AM radio with tuned RF circuits such as the GE SUPERADIO III:

http://www.ccrane.com/radios/am-fm-radio...

will improve reception greatly.

Adding an indoor AM antenna like the SELECT-A-TENNA:

http://www.ccrane.com/antennas/am-antenn...

adds even more improvement. Probably a better antennae.

But the main problem with AM is the nature of it. AM is Amplitude Modulation, so you are bound to get most signals from the correct radio stations that you choose, however any static at night is unavoidable. Solar interference, and other sources are your problem. put some tin foil on it and move it all around unitl i get a good signal there;s usually more static during the day. you can get more am stations at night. its a fact.

Why do cds give a more accurate reproduction of the orignal sound than cassette tapes?

Answer:

Laser burn onto a fixed media instead of a magnetic transfer onto a flexible tape.

CD player is a much better "reading" tool of the media than the playback head of a tape player as well cassettes tapes record analog signal on a tape.

The tape suffers from various problems:

The tape can be slightly elastic, and the drive speed is not perfect so the speed at which the music is recorded and that at which it is played can vary a little.

because the tape recording is magnetic and it%26#39;s spooled, there can be a effect of copy from one piece of tape to the next that is spooled close to it.this is more noticeable in the silences, if you have left your tape to the sun.

if the recording signal is too strong, the signal is more than the tape can record and it sould saturated.

There are probably other effects like separation between left and right, etc.

A CD is recorded digitally as data on a disc.

The data is time coded is 1/75 of a second if i remember right, so you the speed at which it%26#39;s recorded and played is much more stable.

also it will sound better because if there is a damage to the cd the player has a mechanism to replace the missing data with spare data or with faked data : there is a little bit of redundancy so if some data is missing you can reconstitute it and if not you create it from what%26#39;s before and after and the listener will never know it.

Because the recording is digital it%26#39;s more precise for very detailed sounds.

However some people do believe that analog signal is better (digital signal means you have only have a finite number of values to represent a voltage whilst analog is not limited in that fashion)

Some people think CD is not good enough and Super Audio CD which is similar to a DVD with only music.

It%26#39;s probably overkill unless you have too much money.

Why do cds that i burn cannot play in some cd players??

I have used other burned cd%26#39;s in my car, but cd%26#39;s i have made on my new computer are not playing. I am finalizing the cd%26#39;s and I think everything is working ok, I can see cd%26#39;s on other computers...

Answer:

it%26#39;s the cd player being too antiquated to handle the format. it could also be the type of disc you use and the player capability (CD-R, CD-RW, DVD, etc) they keep changing the format.

old CD players cannot read the new burn format.

i don%26#39;t think, however, that%26#39;s an excuse to trade in your car. There may be some microscopic gap that you ignored: like I ignored to understand about logical volume group before dealing with it.

Why do dish tv make you pay 50.00 to fix there satilite,dont you fill that unfar?

My dish when down,had to whate three days for someone to come out. he was a good person. he show me the bad part %26 said, this is not your fought,%26 that there would be no cost.When the bill show up,it had a 50.00 change.Do you as paying people belive it right for this costs. we don%26#39;t pay for outside work if our phone go down!, or the gas, or the elec. thank you think about it.

Answer:

We recently left DIsh. Nothing they do is fair. The customer service is a joke. We wanted to upgrade to HD programming and we were told it would cost over $300.00! If we were new customers it would have been half of that. Then they tried to tell us that we had a two yr contract when we had NO contract with them. They try to make you pay the five buck per month protection plan fee in order to avoid paying when something breaks. Ask to talk to a customer service manager.

Why do dvds cost so much?

Why do dvd%26#39;s cost so much?

Answer:

Because they can. As long as consumers are willing to pay the high prices there is no reason for distributors to lower their price. good question

maybe cause the movie studios are money grubbing, blood sucking leeches. becuase dvds and cds are a new technology, when they get old, they will be like video tapes and cassette tapes. you can find them for 2-5 dollars. Simple, the dvd making process to getting to us the price keeps getting raised.

It takes about $3 for the company to make the dvd

The $1-$2 for the case

1$ for the little paper inside the dvd

the sell it to the stores for $10-$15

for the stores to make a $5 profit the sell for $15-$20

Why do earphones stop working on their own after few days of usage?

I had earphones which stopped working on their own after a few days of usage, or they would not work properly. But they might work if you twist or turn the connecting wire. Why does this happen?

Answer:

The wire breaks (or becomes disconnected from the mini-speaker) inside it%26#39;s plastic sleeving.

Twisting it sometimes works by bringing the broken pieces of wire in contact with each other. I had a pair of headphones that worked for 9 months... The same thing happened to my iPod earphones. I bought them and after just a week, the right one stopped wrking and te left one got very very quiet...

Why do electionics sometimes emit a high pitch ringing?

Is there anything that can be done to stop it?

Answer:

Probably has to do with elections.

Electronics will emit high pitch noise if they contain inductors or transformers that the voltage on them is being switched at audio frequencies. That is usually a sign of a cheap product badly designed, unless it is an old TV set (where this is done on purpose). Don%26#39;t know what you%26#39;re talking about. Whatever it is, it is certainly defective. You should return it to wherever you bought it.

Why do fax machines sound like crickets shirping when they send a fax?

Just wondered.

Answer:

It%26#39;s the way the two machine recognize and synchornize with each other. The machine that placed the call beeps until it gets an answering beep. This way, it knows there%26#39;s a fax machine on the other end. They then send a series of tones to check the speed they can talk to each other at and synchronize the data. i dunno, maybe theres a cricket in there.

in my opinion, fax machines dont sound like crickets.

Answer:

Or if it%26#39;s a burned cd, it might not have burned correctly. if theres it with every cd probabely its broken and have to get it fixed or replace it but if the Err message happens with some CDs the cd may be scratched. and if err occures with some songs on the cd that is file format is not supported by the player, mp3 format has a wide range of compression level, most players plays 128Kbps, 64 and 32Kbps. if the file compressed in a different bit rate the player is unable to play that. try to burn 128kbps mp3s on the cd.

Why do I get radio interference on my computer speakers?

Is there any way to fix that problem?

Answer:

Yep – It’s Shielding.

How to fix it?

Magnets!

No really.

The round lump in the cable that connects the Video Monitor and Digital Camera to your computer it a magnet – also called a ferrite choke. Magnets dissipate Radio Frequency noise.

RadioShack sells Ferrite Chokes for $5. I have them placed all over my sound systems.

They will solve your problem!

Gave the same advice last month – Including a link to RadioShack’s ferrite choke and last months question – the asker found he already owned the correct magnet. It sounds like you might have a bad shield in the wire running from your computer to the speakers. Another thing to check is that the sides of your computer case are on and tight. The radio signals may be getting directly into your sound card.

If you live close to a radio station, you might not be able to remove the signals completely. If the radio signal is strong enough, it can get through all but the most determined shielding.

Why do i have to buy cable t v in a "package" v.s. " a la carte"?

if you could pay for only the channels you want // which ones? and what would you pay per month?

Answer:

this is due to the way the cable companies are set up, and regulations that they have to follow... if it wasnt for packages then many channels would be bankrupt, and not able to provide there service to those few who may want it... I subscribe to every channel.. except the seasonal sports packages, and forigen language channels, because i do nothing but watch tv.. Because they like money ... and I guess what the person above me said is true as well.

Why do I hear "shadow" radio static when I play cds in my boombox or cd/clock/radio?

I have a small Sony cd boombox that has a AM/FM radio, cassette deck and CD player. I also have a TIMEX CD/clock/radio. Both are having the same problem when I play a cd I can hear a "shadowy" or ghost-like radio station. It%26#39;s not as loud as the cd music, but I can hear it distinctly and it drives me crazy. I%26#39;ve moved the radio frequency dial around while I play a cd to no avail. I have no idea which radio station it is either but it%26#39;s always the same station, even if I move the radio channel dial. Can I take apart and dismantle the radio receiver somehow? Would ripping off the attenae work? I only really want to use the CD/clock aspect as I rarely ever listen to the radio outside the car. Thanks for your help!

Answer:

You probably have a local station that is getting into your circuits. It probably isn%26#39;t your radio tuner that%26#39;s doing it, since it you%26#39;ve tried changing the station and that doesn%26#39;t get rid of it.

This can happen with inexpensive equipment that skimps on the shielding to keep external signals out of the electronics.

You should try slowly rotating the radios and see if you can find a position that gets rid of the problem.

The other thing you can do, since it%26#39;s noticeable, is call the station and complain that you can hear them when you%26#39;re listening to CD%26#39;s. They may have accidentally missed something during their last maintenance session, so now they are accidentally broadcasting into your equipment. They are required by law not to interfere with other stations or electronics, so they should take it seriously. If they don%26#39;t investigate the problem or fix it, complain to the FCC. They should enforce the regulations and get the problem fixed (eventually).

Why do I keep losing sound through my Dishnetwork HD receiver?

It%26#39;s a model VIP211 receiver. While watching an HD channel, I noticed the volume would go out all of the sudden, then I%26#39;d just change the channel and it would be fine. Now when the sound goes out, the only way to bring back the sound is to actually completely reset the receiver which is a major inconvenience having to wait to acquire and download a whole new signal. Whats going on? I%26#39;m putting off calling customer service only because I%26#39;m gonna be put on hold for a half an hour until Habib or someone like that tells me what to do, which I%26#39;m never in the mood to deal with.

They piggyback off of the frequencies of FM stations, with the FM stations signing off on the evenings, their frequenices alone aren%26#39;t normally strong enough to keep them up alone.

Why do my speakers randomly cut out?

My computer speakers, Logitech Z-5300s seem to randomly cut out for a second or two whilst playing. This set is about a year and half old, and has never been played at full volume for an extensive period of time, and overall has been kept in good condition.

The speakers seem to cut out after an hour or so of use. The temperature of unit at this time is comfortably warm, so it%26#39;s not overheating. It doesn%26#39;t matter what music file is played. The music itself is clean without clips or anything that would cause the speakers to react this way. It also doesn%26#39;t matter what is hooked up to the speakers, whether it be my desktop, laptop, or iPod it occurs with all.

The fuse in the subwoofer/amp unit is fine.

Given this, I am stumped as to what is causing the clipping in this unit. It comes and goes as it pleases it seems. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Answer:

It is APPARENT you have properly RULED OUT, the easy fixes, (like loose cables, and faulty feed signal) so you are left with the LIKELY scenario, of an INTERMITTENT fault in your speaker%26#39;s amp circuitry.

The relevant symptoms you describe indicate an intermittent condition in the POWER SUPPLY SECTION , because it%26#39;s common to all amp channels.

The next clue, is the fact that it takes an hour or so to cut out. This is LIKELY to be HEAT RELATED, but NOT ("as you say,") OVERHEATING.

Such a problem is LIKELY to be due to either a bad solder joint in the amp, (bad solder connections OFTEN show up after a couple of years) or a faulty electronic component in the power supply.

The MECHANISM by which this happens, would be localized thermal expansion at the site of the bad joint, or faulty part.

From my experience in such intermittents, I would say you have a 50 / 50 chance to repair it, by CAREFUL observation of the circuit board under STRONG light and MAGNIFICATION. Bad solder joints CAN be found, VISUALLY, and it is wonderfully SATISFYING, to simply re solder a bad joint and SAVE YOUR UNIT !

Failing that, it%26#39;s needing a SERVICE TECHNICIAN to diagnose. I am one of those.

Well, those are MY ideas, anyway. Good luck.

Why do NiMH batteries get hot? and how hot is too hot ?

my son has an electric bb gun and the dog chewed up his battery charger so i bought another on but the battery gets really hot so hot you cant hold it. why and what can i do about it if anything

Answer:

IMPORTANT: do not charge te batteries again with that charger or they may explode or cause an injery.

you have to choose the right charger for the batteries check the charger is for nimh batteries.

in general the batteries gets warm on full charge but just a little not that too hot. you just feel as much heat as when u rubbing your hands fast to get warm.

probabely the charger is damaged you can test it with another batteries. so first replace the batteries and check every half over to see how hot are them if they act as the other batteries immediately take them out and if you can return the charger to the seller and describe the problem.

Why do people say "SOLD" on an iten that they listed, when it`s not actually sold?

dosen%26#39;t that kind of discourage the

Answer:

Well it%26#39;s a loophole that they think they%26#39;re getting around. They%26#39;ll still allow you to put down money for the item even though it has sold in the title. When you ask why you never got it, they%26#39;ll turn around and say it says SOLD in the title.

Why do pictures from the free view box pixalate during transmission on certain t.v.channel. Can it b

Answer:

It%26#39;s technically very involved, but here%26#39;s my take on it. The reason for "going Digital" is not to improve on picture quality- but to increase quantity. You can%26#39;t have 500 analogue channels. You just can%26#39;t. The computer inside the freeview (or sky-digi or cable-digi) box takes a digital signal and builds it up into a picture on your TV. If the signal is poor, it takes a best-guess approach to fill in the blanks. If it%26#39;s lucky, and you%26#39;re watching golf, it%26#39;ll fill the sky with blue, and the grass with green, and you%26#39;ll never notice. However, if you%26#39;re watching something with a vast amount of changing information- eg. the crowd at a soccer match, as the camera pans across the pitch, these best-guesses appear as blocks or pixels of colour, and can be very distracting. Try adjusting the picture-softness on your TV. If the signal is very poor indeed, you won%26#39;t just get pixellation, you%26#39;ll have freezing pictures- the box just sits there replaying the last picture it saw, over and over again until it gets new information. If this is less than half a second, say, you%26#39;ll probably not notice it. It%26#39;s more noticeable when Hercule Poirot is just about to announce "Whodunnit" or Manchester United are lining up to score a goal, and some people find this a teensy bit frustrating. Check your connections, check your aerial hasn%26#39;t blown off the roof, check with your neighbours to see what kind of reception they get (that%26#39;s my community relations bit out of the way!), and Yes, some channels are worse than others. Also you can%26#39;t expect BBC2 documentary-type quality from an outdoor broadcast at Brands Hatch when the camera%26#39;s strapped to the front of a formula-one car doing two hundred miles per hour. Unless you%26#39;re house-bound for some reason (in which case you have my sympathy) and you find yourself watching TV more than about twenty hours a week, get out more, try riding a bike, or flying kites. Cheap and fun. Hope this helps. I thought we went digital so we could all have a better picture. It%26#39;s down to the signal or your ariel rather than the box, not a lot you can do if you%26#39;ve got a decent ariel. Check all your connections are good too. Weak signal. Some channels are weaker than others.

Try a power booster, for your TV signal. Simple to install. You should be able to pick them up, for less than 20 pound, from argos or an electrical shop...

Why do radios make a lot of static when you move away from them, but when you are close the static c

I noticed this with my alarm clock. I turned the radio part of the clock on, and it was sitting on my floor. When I reached towards the clock, the static lessened; however, when I tried to move away, the static increased. I%26#39;ve also noticed this happening with my stereo as well. Is there a reason for this, or is it just me? lol

Answer:

yes, theres a perfectly good reason 4 this. our bodies produce electromagnetic charges which are continuously discharged. hence the reason for getting static electricity when we%26#39;re around rugs or carpets too long. also ever get a charge when u touch a washing machine n some other metal object while the machine is washing. the closer u get 2 the radio the more it receives electromagnetic charges which neutralizes whatever static ur radio is receiving. the antenna is there to act as a buffer between the signal coming into the radio n the sinal coming out. this is why that happens. just move the antenna some or the radio from its present location n it should b ok. u%26#39;ll still probably affect it though when u reach towards it. What is happening is your body is acting as an antenna for the radio. You are focusing the radio waves and the static is lessening. Likewise, when you move away, you no longer act as an antenna and the static comes back. Your body acts as part of the antenna. It%26#39;s not just you. Your radio is using you as an extended antenna. Sometimes you can fix this by using a real antenna or pointing the antenna in the right direction. Your alarm clock probably has and internal antenna so you won%26#39;t be able to add one without taking it apart. Try moving it to different places in the room. As for your stereo, it should have a wire antenna, you can try extending it or pointing it in different directions. Sometimes your body or clothing acts as a receptor for electricity. It may also be that some of the transistor waves need to be blocked. The radio may be getting too many.. causing it in turn to get static.

Why do radios tune in better when you touch the antenna?

Answer:

It increases the effective size of the antenna, so more signal gets to the radio. Because you have electricity in your body and when you touch the antenna, your body acts as a conductor.

Why do snooze buttons go for 9 minutes?

I always wondered why they go for 9 and not a round number like 10 minutes... any suggestions??

Answer:

Try adjusting yur setting,mine is 2 minutes. Someone once told me it was because it%26#39;s the average amount of time someone needs to fall completly back asleep. Not all of them do..You can actually set your snooze to go off every 5 minutes if you want.i think this just might be a default setting. i would like to know that also lol. http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0903/gl... some you can set for as little as 5 seconds...

More than 5 minutes and the person could just keep swatting the snooze button. They have to be close enough together to prevent falling back asleep... and far enough apart that the person won%26#39;t just flip the alarm off to prevent being annoyed. 9 minutes is just when you can begin phase 2 sleep, deeper sleep.

Quite clever fellas, these clock makers! You can buy clocks that snooze for 10 minutes, 9 minutes, and ones that you can set to meet your own personal needs. I personally have to have an alarm that goes off in 9 minute increments or some other odd number. The thing is that with a ten minute alarm it is easy for me to look at the clock and calculate exactly how much time I will have to get ready if I hit snooze just one more time. Nine minutes is just too hard to add up while I am half asleep. BECAUSE IF IT WENT FOR TEN, YOU WOULD BE EXPECTING IT AND YOU WOULD%26#39;T BE ABLE TO GO BACK TO SLEEP. Wonderful question... There is scientific proof that sleep paterns are best when it comes to 3%26#39;s..it%26#39;s better to sleep for 30 mintues than 35..for example .so when they designed the allarm clock ..3 minutes was not long enough and neither was 6 so they settled on 9 minutes i know this because my brother inlaw is a pschycologist who explained this exact question when i asked him .. because it is part of a sleeping pattern Thats what i WANT TO KNOW!

Why do so many people ask questions about?

why do so many people ask questions about their ipod, does anyone else think its annoying or just me?

Answer:

because owning an ipod has become a ridiculous status symbol. apple has transformed a practical appliance into a material item with its little upgrades and accessories and skins that serve no purpose, only make fashion statements. people use the word ipod as much as possible in everyday converstaion to sound cool, because owning an ipod means a) they can afford one b) they like music c) they are technoligically inclined and d) they can identify easily with/approach other hip ipod owners. asking a question about an ipod accomplishes the same thing, only it connects with random people in cyberspace as opposed to random people sharing your seat on public transportation. plus, as with any trendy material object, people wiill purchase them by the millions out of ignorance, producing thousands of really dumb repetitive questions, reflecting their owners%26#39; state of being.

Why do some DVDs have wide screen on one side and full screen on the other but most have 2 separate

It%26#39;s not like the movie company can make extra money with 2 separate editions, people will buy one or the other, not both. So why not just make them all 2 sided discs? If there is actually a good reason then why do some companies do it and others don%26#39;t?

Answer:

The simplest answer is that Single Sided Single Layer DVDs cost less than Double Sided Single Layer DVDs. So.. Marketing 101.

Then add into the fact that alot of DVDs now are written on Dual Layer DVDs which only can be written on one side.

To get a little most specific:

A Single Sided Single Layer DVD holds 4.7 Gigabytes

A Dual Sided Single Layer DVD holds a total of 9.4 Gigabytes

A Single Sided DUAL Layer DVD holds 8.5 Gigabytes.

Normally these lamps are designed for a 3 way bulb. The each turn goes from off to on to bright to brighter. Because those lamps are dumb. They just need a little extra help. cause their old! or maybe cause it can be turned on by the wall switch when connected to a certain outlet.

Why do some of my dvds display in 4:3 on xbox 360, I have VGA cable on a 1080p tv - 360 display set

I thought the 360 was suppose to upscale the dvds? I have a Samsung s4095d, the hd-dvd drive hooked up with VGA cables. My display is set to 1920x1080 but a handful of my dvds display 4:3. I thought the 360 would upscale all dvds to 1080p. My TV is set to 16:9. Is there something i%26#39;m not doing or I need to do to make the upscaling of dvds occur. With component cables the dvds automatically stretch to fit the screen, but VGA leaves it 4:3.

Answer:

You get whatever format was recorded on the DVD. Be sure to buy the format you like (most DVDs come in both formats, sometimes both formats are on the same DVD). Upscale or upconvert does not turn a 4:3 movie into a widescreeen, nor would you even want it to. Everyone would look too fat.

All electronic devices require time to thermally stabilize. Circuits often have devices that compensate for temperature changes, but when you%26#39;re playing a note you%26#39;d probably like the note not to change.

If everything is thermally stable, the temperature compensation won%26#39;t be changing so the note won%26#39;t change.

Why do we have AA,AAA, C and D and we dont have B batteries ?

i have never figured that out !

Answer:

A long long time ago, when radios were first becoming popular using vacuum tube technology, they used "B" batteries for the "plate" circuits of the vacuum tubes. Typically these "B" batteries were high voltage. (45 volts and more) The "A" batteries operated the "filaments" of the vacuum tubes and were low voltage types. Today, there is not much need for "B" batteries as vacuum tube electronic equipment is scarce, and battery operated vacuum tube electronic devices even rarer. For the same reason that AA,AAA,C and D batteries all have the same voltage 1.5

Somethings just plain don%26#39;t make sense

Maybe it is just so that batt. companies can get more money by selling different sizes of batteries rather than creating a universal battery that could work with everything. Umm, there is B. They%26#39;re the big square ones with the coils for connectors. Usually used in like camping lanterns. We used to have B Batteries. They were used in tube type radios. Maybe it just doesn%26#39;t seem right since batteries start with a B. I don%26#39;t know. But I do know why we have different sizes. They may have the same voltage, but not the same amperage. D batteries will last longer than the other ones when powering the same thing. But they are pretty big so it can be a little inconvenient. Yes we do have B batteries. These are obselete batteries but still exist. B batteries were used in the early days to provide higher-voltage DC from 22.5 to 90 volts for the plates of vaccum tubes of battery-powered tube radios.

Why does the S-Video on my TV Tuner have no sound?

I just purchased a tv tuner. The tv portion works perfectly, but I just hooked up my PS2 through the s video and the video is wonderful, but I have no sound. I read that S-video is only video that you need the red and white cables. I have those cables but no where to input them to the tv tuner... The tv tuner I purchased is from compusa and it has the s video input, a green sound output and then a blue sound in put, but the red and white cables don%26#39;t fit into the blue. Please help!!

Answer:

The green and blue audio connectors audio in and out. This is a 3.5mm audio connector, The red/white cables are RCA connectors. You can buy an adaptor at Radio Shack or any computer store. You can try something like I have set up on my desk.

I use my computer, dvd player, cable box and PS2 all on one 21-inch monitor with no speakers.

The way I get audio is to run the red and white cables through the auxiliary inputs on a desktop stereo system. Everything sounds great.

If your monitor has speakers you can usually just plug the audio cables to the back of the monitor. because s-video only brings in video nnot audio. you need to find the red and white rca ports on the back of the device you have the s-video on and run them from one device to the other to bring in audio.

Why does this chanel say its broadcasting in 1080p but I dont get a wide screen signal?

I have a 40" widescreen samsung LCD HDTV. It displays in 720p or 1080i. I have comcast with the HD box, my other HD chanels display beautiful widescreen images. I%26#39;m watchin the universal HD network what%26#39;s going on?

Answer:

Universal HD broadcasts in 720p and 1080i. It does not broadcast in 1080p. Most of the older shows were originally recorded in 4:3, so you will not get widescreen.

For example, I watch Northern Exposure that came out in the early 90%26#39;s and it is broadcast in 1080i, but in 4:3. New shows like Monk or Battlestar Galactica, they will all be in 16:9.

By definition, HD does not mean widescreen. It just means it is broadcast in 720p, 1080i or 1080p. There are different settings you can use for that. Mine has 4 settings, wide-zoom, full zoom, and two others. I had to locate the right button on the remote to use by searching through the manual that came with the TV. I finally figured out how to change those picture shapes %26 sizes. There should be a button for that on your Tv remote. Good luck ! If the original programming was shot in the old 4:3 format, you cannot stretch the picture to fill a 16:9 screen without distorting it. So the network will actually broadcast the show in the native 4:3 aspect ratio and add black bars to fill the screen. Your TV cannot distinguish the difference between the black bars and the image so it thinks that is displaying a full 16:9 picture. Universal HD transmits at 1080i NOT 1080p

However, are you sure you are eligible to get it in HD?

Maybe you just get a "teaser" or preview.

Check also your Aspect mode on either the set-top box or the TV.
