| 720p vs 1080i If you have to choose I would send 1080i over 720p, there may be times it may be noticable, tho I agree on smaller sets its harder to discern.With DirectTV-HD satellite I get HD channels in 1080i and the others in what I think is 720p, and there i... | |
| Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones? As others have pointed out, what is quiet for me may be loud and obnoxious to you, especialy at 2am in quiet mode.There are some great ideas here for decoupling the mechanical noise and remoting the fan farther up into the attic. Might look at pic... | |
| Ceiling Exhaust Fan -How loud is .5 sones? Im sorry I misread the tool,.3 sones = 12.6 db, .5 sones = 17.5 db.But that is at the source, figure your ears 5 feet away will reduce that by maybe 5dbs | |

| Recording XM/Sirius Live broadcasts Wavetrader,I just switched from cable to DTV after reading here about better bandwidth available from satellite than from cable. So I have the latest receiver ect. And the installer told me the double, hd cable he used was better than the standard... | |
| Recording XM/Sirius Live broadcasts My recording was really good as the signal is processed through my dac. The sound quality was better than the best cd's and vinyl.Thanks for an excuse to have a lazy Saturday morning testing this theory. I've got 3 cd spinners, a tuner and XM chan... | |
| Recording XM/Sirius Live broadcasts Thanks for the heads up I'll check it out tonight. jazz station? Now that you mention it, Ive been really disappointed with the xm channels on DTV, and so hardly ever surf that direction. The XM channels sounded like crap compared to my cheap Yama... | |

| Is fiberglass safe? I recently had fiberglass blown in my attic replacing 30 year old nasty stuff that floated in the air as a fine particulate. The new stuff they use is not as fiberous, shaped liked cheese curls, doesnt break down as easy. I still would cover it wi... | |
