My cable internet goes out during the day but is fine when weather is cool. Do I need to rewire house?
Q. When weather is less than app. 80 degrees I have internet service. When it gets hot I lose service. The cable company installed it on the eave of the roof, but laid the 75 ohm cable across the roof. I moved the cable so that it no longer ran across the roof and gained another couple of hours during the day of connection time. One of the contractors they sent said that if we could use the outdoor cabling the company uses we would probably be fine, but the company won't allow them to use it indoors. Since we have no crawl space to run wires. Do they make heat resistant 75 ohm cabling? Or can I increase the signal to the cable modem with an amplifier. The cable company hasn't offered any options except drilling through the walls,… [cont.]

A. it might not look pretty but try wrapping the cable in tin foil. Or get a length of pcv pipe and run the cable through that.

Does a cable company really have to go underneath a mobile home to install cable?
Q. I just bought a 07 double wide mobile home. I am about to get Comcast cable, and am wondering if they have to go underneath the trailer to install the cable? My home is pre-wired for cable. Also, I have a two coax cable wall plates. If I connect my TV to that wall plate, should I be able to get my local channels or do I have to have Comcast come out? Last Question, we have wall paneling, is that sturdy enough to mount a flat screen television?

A. they should not have to go under if they can get access to where your cable goes into the trailer. you no longer can get antaglog channels it is all digital now so you wont get anything but static. no the panelling will not hold up at flat screen but if you can secure it to the studs (more then one )like say put the bracket so it secures to 2 or more studs and in approx 4 locations it should be ok

What cable is best to run from my cable box to my tv?
Q. I have a standart cable box that comes with multiple options of outputs to be sent to my tv. Both are standard definition. My options or a single Coax cable, the three pronged rca cable, s-video, component (5 pronged), and a digital audio out (1 prong). Any ideas as to the best of quality? what about digital audio? or should i use the regular audio?
Asked by sinan a - Wed Feb 14 14:34:44 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The best cable to run to your TV is an s-video cable, if you don't have a digital or hi-def TV. The S-video is simplest. None of the other cables will produce much of a difference in reception because all of the cables are analog. The S-video standard was designed to be an improvement on a plain old analog cable, but it still isn't digital - it just requires less filtering and was designed for less interference. If you want the best sound, definitely use the digital audio out cable, but run it to your stereo. It sounds like the digital audio is a copper cable and not a fiber cable, so your stereo will need to have that receptacle.

what gauge cable do I need to splice the video component of an the Wii RCA cable?
Q. Hi, I need to extend just the video component of the Wii RCA cable to hook up to a projector about 15ft away. What gauge cable should I use so I don't lose video quality?
Asked by Six - Mon Jan 26 12:17:19 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Use RG59U coax, pre-terminated in RCA plugs. You don't buy this by "gauge", the wire gauge is inherent in the RG59U designation. You'll also want an RCA "barrel connector" or "coupler" (about an inch long, has female RCA jacks on both ends). Monoprice.com has this stuff at extremely reasonable prices. If you're doing composite video (single RCA, yellow jack) look in the "coaxial digital audio" cables. The ones they sell for composite video include cables for L and R sound and apparently you don't need that. Coax digital audio likes RG59U cable too. Do NOT use RG-6 coax (the stuff usually used for cable TV).

A. I recommend either using a Component Video Cable (Green, Blue, Red). This cable can support up to 1080p, the highest High Definition resolution available. It would be the best choice for your 720p projector. The VGA cable won't support high definition, and it is recommended for computers.

How do I hide a cable in my living room?
Q. I have an antenna 15 ft away from my tv and the cable is running across my living room. What do you recommend me to use to hide the cable? Possible solutions include tape or wiring it around door ways. It would be great if I could plug the cable into a cable jack in one room and then have it output in another room. Is that possible? To help clarify the question, I live in an apartment and don't have an attic or basement. I'm most curious about solutions that involve using some kind of material to hide the cable around a doorway or on top of the carpet. I would be really interested in a way to plug it into a cable jack in the wall in one room and then get it out in another, but I don't think that's possible.

A. Even if you COULD get this system to work, you wouldn't want to. The coax cable output of the cable box will not be HD, it will be a standard SDTV signal. You want to connect the cable box to the TV using an HD compatible connection (either component or HDMI). If your TV has multiple component connections, connect the cable and DVD separately. If the TV has a component and an HDMI connection, use the HDMI from your cable (most HD cable boxes have an HDMI connection) and the component connection from your DVD. You won't need a switch, but you will need to use the TV's "source select" feature to switch between TV and DVR. Finally, if your TV has only one component input, go out and buy a component video switch (about $30 at radio shack) [cont.]

A. After calling "Miss Dig" you can purchase a flat spade shovel. Make sure the cable is safe for burying, eg. Underground Cable w/flooding compound inside the jacket. This will eliminate the need for the PVC pipe. And a couple of Gel splices if they are available. 1. Plan your path first. 2. Cutting the Sod (grass and root),take your shovel and at an angle make a slit in the sod about 6 inches deep while lifting the sod and every foot or so place the cable deep into the slit. Be careful not to kink or cut the cable. 3. Be sure all cable has been grounded. Any questions and you can contact me through yahoo answers.

For example, there are digital only monitors (HDMI or DVI single input) out there that wouldn't support this setup. Going back to my comment, there are also many monitors with built in composite input, so the question of an adapter would be moot.

What cable should I use to replace a ruined one on a power tool?

A. I believe the 2C means two wires inside (one live, one return), while 3C means three wires inside (one live, one return, one ground). You'll see the difference when you cut the one off your tool. If it's just the plug end, you can probably figure it out for yourself, but if it's the connection inside the power tool, I wouldn't suggest trying to change it yourself if you aren't even sure about what cable to use.

Can I attach an outdoor antenna to the cables left by the cable company?
Q. The cable box is still on the outside of our house but we don't have cable. Can we mount our outdoor antenna beside it and use that coaxal cable (sp?) already there to connect the two together? The question is...will the antenna work?

A. yep, they're your wires, you can do as you please with them and the antennae signal will go to any tuner that your cable previously went to

What cable and software i need for recording music with my guitar?
Q. I want to record and edit my guitar music, but i dont know what cable and what software is the best to use! Help please! :)

A. I just started to record as well and i needed a few things. First, i bought a music program that will allow for editing/recording of music. It's called Sony Acid Music Studio and i bought it for around.. 40 bucks at Best Buy. Next, to get your guitar inputed into your computer, you have to buy a preamp, which is essential a place to plug the guitar in and then it will transfer into a USB cable. I bought the M-Audio fast Track Pro for 200 bucks (pricey, yes but good quality) also at Best Buy. There are tons of preamps and guitar recording software you just have to look around for your price range.

How long a TV cable should be to avoid signal loss?
Q. I have subscribed to Starhub Cable TV service. Only to realise that the cable point and my TV are too far apart. To connect the two I will need a cable of at least 6 metres. The technical support told me this is not advisable because there will be a drop of signal quality. They told me to fix another new cable point instead, which cost quite a bit. Anyone connected their TV to the cable point using long cables? Is the risks really significant?

A. You'll probably be fine, but it all depends on the signal level at the source. You're talking about using a cable thats about 19.6 feet long. I don't think you're going to have a problem with that. I would suggest using high-quality RG-6 type 75 Ohm coaxial cable for the job to minimize signal loss. RG-59 can become lossy at higher frequencies and longer runs. For 19.6 feet though, with RG-6, you should be fine. SurfBoy Commercial Communications Technician / CET

What's the difference between HDMI Cable and Component Cables?
Q. If i have my X360 hooked up to my HD-TV with the component cables, am i still running on High Definition? Or is it better hooked up via HDMI cable?
Asked by Lukas - Fri Dec 28 00:08:49 2007 - - 4 Answers - 1 Comments
A. Component does support High Definition, so yea, you are running HD from the Xbox. However, HDMI does provide a significant picture difference than component. When I switched my cables, my lines and picture became a little bit sharper and brighter. I would highly suggest upgrading. Forget what the other answers said about the 1080p/1080i/720p. No matter what TV you have, HDMI will provide a better picture. Go try it out and see it for yourself.
