I don't understand how you watch TV without a Tivo. - Mop Feb 2, 18:55 13
- Never had one...ever -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 18:57 11
  - I'm so sorry. What's it like in 1998? Is Clinton still president? -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 19:02
  - I am the most anti-techie person on ST. But I would give up my microwave before my tivo, no contest. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:02 9
    - Eh, most of my television watching is PBS Shows -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 19:02 8
      - Miss Marple, right now. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:05 7
        
        Eh, not my thing. Nova, Nature, American Experience, among other shows is what I like -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 19:06 6
        
        when you have no Tivo, you watch what they tell you. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:10 5
        
        Isn't there a monthly fee for Tivo? -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 19:15 4
        
        not if you're smart and buy lifetime. I bought a lifetime subscription 7 years ago for $299. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:16 3
        
        which works out to $3.55 a month, compared to the $20 a month subsription. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:17 2
        
        I think I will stick with my free system. -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 19:18 1
        
        FOr 3.55 a month, I have never watched a commercial I didn't want to for 7 years -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:23
- yeah, I'm kind of perplexed right now. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:57
the fat cable from the wall goes into the 'cable in' space in the back of the tv. it should be that simple -- nm - peglegpete Feb 2, 18:34 4
- not quite, I am pretty sure the cable box is involved. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:36 3
  - ok. cable box's 'cable out' goes to the tv's 'cable in'. 1 coaxle cables should do it. but I do not know your setup and why the colored cables must -- nm - delt with....peglegpete Feb 2, 18:39 2
    - I HAVE TV!!! yay!!!! -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:47 1
      - you knw what's going to be awesome? when I replace the hard drive and try to hook it back up. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:47
it's not. just match the colors -- nm - Remlik Feb 2, 18:29 7
- but, there are TWO sets of wires with the colors. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:32 6
  - If it's one with three heads and one with two heads, the three heads one is red-green-blue, should match exactly. - Beryllium Feb 2, 18:48 5
    - what kind of Canadian craziness is that? they are all red/yellow/white. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 18:50 4
      - RGB is component color. A red/yellow/white cable is usually composite (1 color, 2 audio) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 18:53 3
        
        ... I use HDMI for everything now. Much more simple. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 2, 18:54 2
        
        she'sa bout 12 years behind -- nm - Remlik Feb 2, 19:01 1
        
        on a good day. -- nm - loosi Feb 2, 19:02
