If you are looking for ways to watch premium tv channels on your pc, you will be pleased to know that such services do exist. It is as easy as downloading a software that enables you to watch over 3000 channels from all over the world.

Sounds like a scam? Well, at first I thought so too, until a friend of mine downloaded it and started to watch premium tv channels on pc. Furthermore, he only paid a one time fee and it entitled him to use the software for life. I do not know about you but I live in a country where people have to pay a monthly subscription fee in order to have access to about 50 cable television channels. Therefore, this idea of watching live tv on pc on a one time fee really did not sound real to me. Of course, I was proven wrong.

So how do you choose good software to watch premium tv channel on pc? Firstly, go for software that you can download instantly and use it once the payment is made. One tip I found out is that you can actually find software that costs less than $50 and it is a one time payment. So, be wary of services that cost hundreds of dollars and comes with a recurring fee every month or year. If you have been subscribing to cable tv services and have to pay a monthly fee, you will feel so ripped off when you start to use the powerful software that allows you to watch over 3000 premium tv channels world wide on your pc.

In order to enjoy live tv on your pc, you will need a broadband connection as the software will stream in live tv footage from the servers. A 56k dial up connection might be possible but not recommended if you want optimal video and audio performance.

The software installation should be straight forward and interface has to be user friendly. Since you may or may not be able to find out about these things before purchase, you will have to rely on review sites on these products to help you make the decision.

You’ve gone wide…thin…digital, so what’s the point of hanging wires and speakers in an unsightly trip-over-zone when you can add the ultimate decorator’s statement with an atmospheric plasma or LCD TV wall mount!

Top Reason For Choosing Plasma TV Wall Mounts. Clean uncluttered space in your lounge. Your flat screen TV mount fits close to the wall, freeing up entertainment center counter top surface for other gear, or art pieces to be enjoyed at “ground level”. You create the ultimate viewing angle, just like going to the large-screen cinema.

2nd Reason For Your Flat Panel TV Wall Mount. LCD TV mounts exploit the thin profile…some models only 5 in. thick…to take-up ‘dead space’ on the wall, and to protect your digital TV investment from accidental damage if it stood on a cabinet where kids and animals’ rough house play could create a tip-over.

Picking The Right Size TV Wall Mounts. Matching shapes, sizes and weights is key to selecting the optimum flat panel TV wall mount system. TV mount brackets tie-in to the structural timbers…2 x 4s…within your walls, typically spaced on 16 in. centers. Your plasma TV wall mount bracket relies on deeply imbedded wood screw anchors, in order to create a positive, and safe, connection. How much weight can a plasma TV wall mount bracket hold? Comfortably 200 to 300 pounds, which is a huge “safety margin” for even some 50 inch plasma TV models which weight less than 100 pounds.

TV mount brackets combine with a platform or base which your LCD TV sits on. Results? Safe, secure, modular, clean aesthetics, with radius adjustments as well!

Key Option – The Articulating TV Mount. Get the ultimate in positioning flexibility by selecting the right-sized articulating TV mount…extendable adjustable arms can radius side-to-side to increase the direct-viewing comfort of your wall mount TV. This design feature takes a little more backroom engineering, and will cost a few dollars extra…but the viewing comfort advantages out-weight any incidental costs.

TV Ceiling Mounts. As an alternative to the wall TV mount, families and businesses look “up” to the ceiling in search of yet another clean, airy location for a flat panel TV. The ceiling mount TV stand relies on hard-and-true connection to structural lumber in the ceiling plane. Anchor bolts, screw in with safety features pin the TV mount bracket hardware to the ceiling timbers. Telescoping arms, along with a support base, complete the engineering on a metal TV ceiling mount system. Just as strong…just as safe as a wall TV mount system, the TV ceiling mount frees up the most space of any mounting system. Cautions? Professional installation is a must!

The Interior Design Future Of Home Entertainment. Plasma TV mount systems create the designer ‘gateway’ to a cool, chic, urban and uncluttered decorating statement. The latest generation of composite and metal engineered wall TV mount systems as well as the innovative TV ceiling mount designs mean that families and businesses can free up counter top space, floor space, utilize “dead” wall space, yet maintain the same high standards of safety and equipment protection.

There are many options available when choosing cable television. The first thing to consider is whether you need installation. If your home, apartment or condo has never had access to cable then you’ll need to get the basic wiring installed. This consists of a technician running a wire connecting your home with the pole where the cable wiring exists. This cable wire will then enter your home and will terminate into a cable box also called the cable television receiver.

The cable box receiver is a unit that connects your television with the cable programming content. The cable is used to transmit the signals. Signals are scrambled to avoid people taking programming for free. The box unscrambles the signals and allows you to properly view all the channels that you subscribe to. There are many different choices when it comes to programming. Basic cable typically includes just a fee premium channels along with local programming.

Special package options for cable are plentiful. You can choose the package that includes the programming that you prefer. For example if you have young children you’ll want kids programming. Sports enthusiasts will like to have plenty of sports channels. You’ll usually find several packaging options to pick from. The more channels you want the more expensive the packages will be. However once you choose a package you can also add other packages at a lower rate. One example of this is adding movie channels to your lineup.

One of the few drawbacks of cable television is that you can’t order any channels that the provider doesn’t carry. Often new channels emerge that may not be part of any cable package lineup. However, most channels will get picked up by cable and will become part of a package. When choosing your package be sure to find out about the ability to upgrade or downgrade your package. Sometimes there is an additional fee when you want to change packages.

One of the best new options provided by many cable companies is the DVR. A DVR is a digital video recorder. It is often part of the cable box itself. The DVR makes it possible to record programs digitally. You can play them back at any time and can even record one show while watching another. The DVR has made the VCR virtually useless since the DVR can do so much more. There is no need to put in tapes because the programs are stored on the hard drive. With a DVR you can pause live television, rewind and watch two shows at the same time using picture in picture.

Using a cable box also allows you to get pay per view programming. This is great for watching movies or sporting events. You can easily order the programming through the remote control on the screen. Each pay per view program has a fee associated with it, which will be added to your monthly bill. Often some of the latest movies are available before coming out on DVD.

There are a lot of shows that we miss every year due to work and family obligations, and now there are plenty of online TV shows to buy. While you may think it is not worth it to buy shows from the internet, there are several reasons to purchase shows online. For example, you may keep hearing about one show that everyone you know loves, but you just cannot find some time to watch it.

Buying your show online will keep you updated on the latest TV craze in town, and be able to discuss what is going on in the shows with your friends. Although not everyone wants to be able to discuss TV shows, there are still benefits to buying shows online. For one, you can “try it before you buy it.” If you purchase one episode of the show, and love it (or probably hate it) then you will find out soon without having to go and purchase a whole season of shows.

The last reason for online TV to buy is that you can pick and choose among the vast amount of shows that are available on the web. If you know you want a certain episode, and only that episode, buying it online will save you time and money. You would not have to wait until there is a rerun of the show on TV to record, and you would not have to waste your money buying a whole season when you only want one episode. You may also want to share a particular episode of a documentary or reality show with your family or friends, and buying one episode is a great way to do just that.

The portable DVD player is a good tool to use for the business executive. The player has the capability of many hours of long playing time which makes it great as a training tool. You could conduct a workshop using the player as part of the teaching tool and not worry about the battery running down.

The Business Executives Information Highway

The portable DVD player is used by many business executives to create learning DVD’s for their executives who can watch them while they are in route to their destination. The player can also be informative about the corporations products enabling the buyer to be more in tune with what are being offered. Large corporations like AMWAY used DVD’s for their representatives to keep them up to date with new products and as a means of training. Those who could would watch the DVD’s on their player and then pass them onto others who could do the same thing. This kept the representatives up to date on the new products and also it was helpful when the company switched to using the internet to enhance business. Many times business executives use the portable DVD player while on the road for entertainment as well as business purposes.

Business and Pleasure for the Executives

While the player is great to use for watching movies that are entertaining it was found by business executives that the player was also a good tool to use to conduct business. The company could put together learning DVD’s for the executive to keep a breast with what was new in their business or information about product or service could be put on a DVD letting the executive use it for the purpose of informing the new client about the company.

What is a Receiver?

A receiver is that big, heavy thing that you plug your speakers and other components into (like a DVD player, TV, CD player, Xbox, PlayStation, iPod, and etc.). Its the “brain” of the show, really. The idea of connecting all your components to a receiver is the concept of audio/video switching, allowing you to switch to different video sources (like TV, DVD, camcorder) on your TV
and thus changing the audio source accordingly – all without touching anything but the receiver.

Of course, the main purpose behind audio/video switching with a receiver is to drive audio to external speakers, like surround sound or stereo speakers.

Most receivers have a plethora of inputs; up to 8 speakers and a subwoofer (more commonly, 5.1, or five speakers and a subwoofer), several video inputs, and even HDMI inputs. You could plug your Xbox, Plasma, and DVD player into the receiver and use one remote to switch between all the different video sources (games, TV, DVD video) and have your speakers pump out surround-sound. Let’s start with inputs and outputs. If you don’t understand something, read through the entire How-To as most of it will be explained in detail.

Keep in mind that a receiver is the hub of your entire home theatre, so this How-To will actually guide you through the basics of connecting your complete home theater.

So what the heck is all this ’stuff’ on the back of your receiver?

I’m going to go over just about anything that you would find on the back of your receiver. The one I’m basing this guide off of is a Harman Kardon AVR-247 I’m going to start from the top left of the unit and work my way to the right, then I’ll start at the left of the next row and so on.

The first three inputs are for antennas. An FM antenna cable would slide on to the first jack while two speaker wires would plug into the remaining slots for AM. Of course, you don’t have to plug your antennas in, but if you’d like AM/FM reception through your speakers, you’ll want to go ahead and do that. These are standard connections, so if you lose one of your antennas, just go buy another for a few bucks.

You’ve probably heard of composite video. Its a very basic video connection used by most any component (TV, DVD, VCR especially). Its common and its cheap. As such, its very low quality.
Composite uses an RCA cable for video (yellow) and two more RCA cables for audio (red and white, stereo). The problem is that a composite video cable combines luminance and chrominance in the same cable, reducing the quality of the picture. You lose a lot of sharpness, and the color begins to degrade from the original source. Its useful when you need the extra input or the device you’re connecting only has composite video. Otherwise, use something else, like component video. Sounds similar; very different.

S-Video is next in line after composite. It uses a different type of connector (five pins in a circle) and gives you marginally better video quality. It is also a video-only cable, so you’ll need to plug in audio separately. In this case, you’ll probably use a pair of red and white RCA cables for your audio inputs.

Next up: a ton of composite audio inputs. These inputs use left channel and right channel RCA cables, typically red and white. They look just like the yellow composite video cable, and you could even use them for video and the yellow for audio, but let’s keep the color scheme how it is Composite audio is the bottom-of-the-barrel in audio. Its perfectly fine for most use, but if you’re looking for high quality surround sound, you don’t want composite. Game systems, like the Wii or Xbox, and very basic DVD players are a perfect match for composite audio.

The same goes to VCRs, CD players, and anything that only has a composite audio output. Plus, if you don’t have surround sound, or your receiver is only two channels (2.1, stereo sound), you won’t be able to use anything but composite audio. Note that there is a composite audio input under each composite video input so that it is easy to match them up. Plug them in the wrong inputs and you won’t get sound when you’re on that particular video input.

Here we have one of the least-used features of a modern receiver: 6 (or channel direct input. This is only used for two purposes: SACD or DVD Audio. SACD is an acronym for Super Audio CD. It is a proprietary audio format developed by Sony for special CDs that are recorded in 5.1 surround sound. That means you need a CD or DVD/CD player that supports SACDs, a receiver with SACD support (as in the picture), and of course Super Audio CD’s. DVD Audio is the same idea, different brand, different media (its a DVD, not a CD!).

DVD Audio discs are special DVDs that are recorded in 5.1 surround sound and can only be played by devices with support for them. These CDs go all the way up to 7.1 surround sound, meaning you would need to have two front, two rear, two side speakers and a subwoofer to enjoy full 7.1 surround sound. Most receivers support up to 7.1 now but you won’t find DVDs with that kind of capability for movies. 5.1 surround is still the defacto standard, so don’t run out and buy more speakers any time soon.

You could skip this next little item because it is unique to this brand of receiver (Harman Kardon). The Bridge” is a proprietary connection they developed for you to connect
an iPod. You need to buy a separate component that includes a docking station and special cables to connect the iPod. It fully integrates with the receiver, displaying
menus and songs on the front LCD screen of the receiver. This allows you to easily pump your tunes through your speakers, whether it be stereo sound or full surround sound.

Of course, the music on your iPod is stereo sound, so the best you can get is simulated surround sound or stereo surround; the same music playing in the front two channels
is put through the rear and center channels. Some receivers do this more intelligently than others, but more on that later.

Here we have our high-end sound inputs/outputs. Basically the same performance wise, you have fiber optic connections (with the square shape) and digital coaxial (just like an RCA cable).
Both of these are 100% digital, whereas composite is analog. The only way you can get true surround sound from any source is by using one of these connections (or the SACD/DVD Audio option)

Almost all DVD players these days have either optical or digital coaxial outputs (sometimes, both). Many high definition cable and satellite boxes also come with these
connections so you can enjoy 5.1 surround sound on high definition channels. Choosing between the two, there’s really no different in audio quality, so feel free to use
what you’d like (or what you’re forced to).

I don’t think I need an image for the next plug. Its a pair of power inputs. One is for powering the receiver, the other for whatever you’d like. This way, when you turn
on the receiver, you give power to the other device (be it a DVD player, CD player, cable box, whatever). I don’t necessarily recommend this unless it specifically suits
your needs. It is useful if you’re running low on outlets, of course.

Something else you’ll never use: D-bus RC-5 input/output. This is used for infrared remote controls to take over your home theater system. Honestly, its not something any of us will ever use. Some of the real high-end junkies might be using something for it, but I’ve never even come across a device that uses this technology. Stick to the remote that came with your unit, or buy a quality universal remote control. There’s no need for this option. An alternate use for this may be a bit more common: if your receiver’s front panel is blocked (like inside a cabinet), you could get an infrared transmitter to latch on to the front of it. This transmitter would hook up to another device somewhere in your room that will accept signals from your remote control. The receiving device then transmits the remote’s commands to your receiver (via the transmitter you’ve attached to the front over the regular infrared transmitter).

Pre-outs , located right under the Remote in/out. Pre-outs are used when you’d like to add an amplifier to your system to boost the power (and hence volume/audio quality). Average
users will not use this for anything but the subwoofer preout. You’ll want to run a subwoofer cable from your subwoofer to the subwoofer pre-out to provide it with
the right frequencies. This is the proper way to connect your subwoofer to your surround sound system. The other inputs won’t be used unless you plan on adding
an amplifier. This is highly unnecessary for home use. You might add an amp if you’re trying to fill a room the size of a small house with enough sound, but you’re not, right?

Here we finally get to the meat of the system: the speaker inputs! Harman Kardon receivers use bind posts for connecting speakers, as seen in the picture. They
work by being loosened up as your turn them counter-clockwise, then you sneak the speaker wire in underneath the caps and tighten them back up by turning clockwise. This’ll
give your speaker wire a nice tug fit that probably won’t loosen up on itself over time. Other brands may use other types of connectors, but bind posts are very common.
You might have been able to tell this is a 7.1 channel receiver because of the speaker inputs.

You’ve got room for 2 front left and right speakers, 2 rear left and right speakers,
a center channel, and two left and right “surround” channels which are placed somewhere in between your front and rear speakers (”side surround”, or 7.1). If you have enough
speakers, you can go ahead and plug in those extra 2 side ones, but they won’t play any sound at all on a 5.1 DVD. You would need a DVD that supports 7.1
surround sound, and at this time, there just isn’t a market for it. CDs will gladly blast stereo surround through all 7 speakers, though, so for some larger rooms, that’s an
advantage.

Our final set of connectors for this receiver: component video . The best video you can get next to composite or s-video. You’ll notice its a set of three cables (all for video),
usually Red, Green and Blue. Don’t think that’s what the cable does, though – it separates the video signal by luminance and two separate color channels. In the past, component
did it in fact represent R, G, B (splitting the primary colors in transmit and recombining them at the destination device), but that is not used in current component video
connections. Component video can carry high definition signals, all the way up to 1080p, so it is the most cost effective and readily available high definition input.
Not seen on this receiver are DVI and HDMI, the two all-digital video connections.

HDMI is the newest, fastest, sharpest video and audio connection available today. Its the only cable that can carry audio and video in one – not to mention, in high definition.
HDMI must be supported by the source and the display you’re connecting it to to use all of its features. Not all DVD players, cable boxes, or receivers support both
audio and video in HDMI. Its becoming more and more of a standard now to support both. The advantage is clear: less cable clutter, higher quality audio and video. You can get up
to 1080p high definition video and 7.1 surround sound through an HDMI cable. Newer cable and satellite boxes, DVD players, high definition DVD players, and more expensive receivers
support the full capability of HDMI. Its the best you can get as all-digital goes.

The last connection for this article is DVI. DVI is also all digital like HDMI, but it cannot process audio signals. HDMI may provide a technically superior image,
but I don’t think anyone could tell the difference. DVI supports high definition video all the way up to 1080p, just like HDMI. Its being used less frequently now,
but if you’ve bought a new computer or video card for your PC recently, it probably has a DVI (or two) port on it. Most computer monitors use DVI now and video cards
have followed suit. HDMI is edging its way into the PC market, but its dominance is seen in the home theater arena.

Now that you’ve familiarized yourself with common connections, let’s plug it all together.

This part of the receiver How-To is going to guide you through hooking a 5.1 surround sound system(5 speakers and a subwoofer) with a high-definition TV, a high-definition cable or satellite box, a DVD player, and a 5.1 receiver.

Your TV & Components

Where you put your TV is dependent on how large it is, how large your room is, and where you will be sitting. If its 50 inches, don’t sit more than 10-15 feet away; but no less, either.
A 60″ set is perfect for 12-20 feet. If you have a 32 inch set, try to sit no farther than 8-12 feet away. Your receiver, DVD player, cable box, and other components should obviously be close together, but don’t place them physically on top of each other. They all get hot, especially your receiver. If you have no other choice, slide a thin piece of plywood between the components to help dispense the heat.

Lay Out of Speakers

The first step is to lay out your setup. Different rooms call for different locations for your speakers and subwoofer. If your room is a typical rectangle, go ahead and place your two front left and right speakers somewhere flush with the television on that side of the room. Your left speaker goes toward the left corner, right speaker toward the right corner. Don’t bother with speaker wire yet (unless your speakers come with speaker wire attached already; in that case, just let them dangle for now). Note that which speaker is left or right is solely dependent on how you connect them to your receiver. Your speakers aren’t actually designated “left” or “right”.

Depending on how you acquired your speakers, your front speakers could be larger than your rear speakers. That’s how you know they’re for the front. Otherwise, all your speakers are the same shape and size, and you can use each for any purpose.

One exception: the center channel. Usually, a center channel is much shorter and wider than your other speakers. It should only be used for the center channel. Sometimes, all 5 of your speakers could be the same, usually on a very inexpensive setup. You can use any of these speakers for any purpose.

Your center channel should always go either directly on top or under your television set. However you have to do this, get it done! It’s not called the center channel for nothing, you know. Any movie will pump out almost 90% of the voices you hear and a majority of the rest of the sounds through the center channel. It is a vitally important component to your surround sound setup.

Your subwoofer should always be on the floor. If it is impossible to place it on the floor, get it as close to the floor as possible. Placing it behind objections or in closets will diminish its effects. In a perfect setup, the subwoofer would be on the floor close to the TV (perhaps off to the left or right) in your line of sight. Nothing should block the side of the subwoofer that air will come out of (usually covered by a grill protecting the subwoofer speaker itself).

When it comes to finding a good spot for your speakers, you might want to mount them. You can usually buy compatible speaker mounts online or in stores. You can also
use existing shelving, buy some shelving, or place them on tables or other objects. No matter how you do it, try to keep the speakers as close to ear level as possible. A speaker mounted at the ceiling of your room isn’t going to give you the optimal aural experience.

The last thing to keep in mind about layout is speaker wire. You’ll probably need at least 100ft of speaker wire, but you’ll often find yourself using much more if you
try running wire through your ceiling, under carpeting, up through the basement, or around objects to conceal it. Take measurements and buy at least 10% more wire than
you think you need. You’ll probably use it!

Cabling

You need to know the different kind of speaker wire available to you before setting up your home theatre. If you bought an HTIB (home theater in a box), it probably came with 100ft of horribly cheap speaker wire. You don’t want that! Do yourself a favor: buy some high-quality, 14-guage speaker wire. Anything higher than 14-guage is just to thin and will be susceptible to interence, quality loss, and poor quality over longer distances. Fourteen guage is a good thickness and suitable for most home theatres. Make sure its also not too thick – some speaker wire simply will not fit in to the speaker wire jacks on some receivers.

Some receivers use proprietary speaker inputs. Sony is one example. Many Sony receivers have special connectors for speaker wire and will not accept a standard speaker wire. You’ll need to use either the Sony-provided speaker wire, take the ends off of Sony speaker wire and put it on your own, or buy some of these special connectors from Sony directly to place on your speaker wire. My recommendation? Avoid any receivers with non-standard speaker wire posts/jacks/connectors. Look for bind posts or other jacks that allow you to slide in and clamp down on a typical speaker wire.

Once you’ve got your speaker wire sorted out, you’ll have to do some cutting and stripping if you opted to purchase your own. This is way easier than it sounds, so don’t worry!

Measure out each length one at a time, cutting the speaker wire with either really great scissors or a sharp blade. Now you need to strip the ends of the wire. Use either a stripping tool or plain old scissors. You can place the scissors on the cable and gently apply some pressure as you twist the scissors around the cable, carefully slicing into the plastic coating. Eventually, it’ll get weak enough that you can just slide it off by tugging on it with your fingers. You need at least 1/4″ of exposed wire.

Now you can connect your speakers. Note on your speaker wire the difference between the two ends. You’ll need to use one as your positive and one as your negative. Sometimes the coating is a different color between the two or there is text on one and not on the other. Keep track of this – whichever side you use for positive on your speaker, use it for positive on your receiver. Crossing the two can cause damage, either immediately or sometime in the future. It might work this way but you don’t want it to!

Connecting the speakers is easy enough. Front left to front left on your receiver, center speaker to center on your receiver, etc… Your rear speakers may be referred to as “Surround” or “Rear Surround” instead of just “Rear”, but keep in mind, if you have a 7.1 or 8.1 channel receiver, “Surround” may indicate side surround speakers, not rear speakers.

Subwoofers

Your subwoofer is going to be a little more complicated. There are a few different ways to do it and many variations of inputs/ouputs on the back side of subwoofers. I’m going to go with the most standard and efficient method first.

You will need a subwoofer cable for connecting your sub. If you don’t have one or don’t want to buy one, you can substitute it for a standard red or white RCA cable (or a pair, since they are usually connected; just let the other cable dangle). It will work, but its really not the best way to do it. You’ll also need whats called a Y adapter. On the back of your sub, there should be a left/right input (red and white). You plug the Y adapter in to these connections and then your subwoofer cable (or RCA cable) in the other end of the Y (note: if you don’t have a Y adapter, just choose the left or right input to plug into).

Now, take the other end of your cable and plug it into your receiver’s
subwoofer preout. Hopefully you have a powered sub, meaning it gets plugged into an AC power outlet. All you need to do now is plug that in and your subwoofer is good to.

If you don’t have RCA jacks on your subwoofer, or it only has speaker wire jacks (and its most likely not powered), you’ll need to connect it the old fashioned way. Your front left and right speakers will plug into your subwoofer’s ouput jacks instead of your receiver. You’ll then run speaker wire from the left and right inputs on the subwoofer to your left and right speaker outputs on your receiver. This way, the subwoofer is powered by the receiver and will not work as well as a powered sub. You also take some power away from your front speakers with this method. A good idea is to buy a new, powered subwoofer with line in RCA jacks.

Connecting the Dots

You’ve got the hard stuff out of the way. Now finish it up by connecting your TV, DVD, and cable/satellite box. Always try using the best options first. If your DVD
has HDMI and so does your receiver, use it. If your DVD only has composite, s-video, and component, use component video cable. When it comes to audio, you absolutely need
to use digital coaxial (jacks are usually orange) or fiber optic (usually the jack is recessed into the unit and has a door on it; when the door is open, a red light is visible). If you do not use either of these two, you won’t get true surround sound! When all else fails, resort to composite (red and white) audio connectors.

Note: Look closely at the connections on your receiver. Everything is labeled, like the first set of red, green, and blue component video inputs might be labeled “Comp 1″. If you’re using composite audio cablesfor your sound, you’ll need to plug them into the jacks that coordinate with “Comp 1″. This might not be clear by looking at the receiver, so refer to your receiver’s manual to figure out which video inputs use which audio inputs. Most often, you’ll be able to configure them from the receiver’s internal menu using the remote control.

On some receivers, all the component video inputs, for example, are linked to a single composite audio input (usually “DVD”), so if you connect more than one of the component inputs, you will be competing for sound when more than one device is active. This is why you’d want to configure the component inputs to use different audio inputs.

Your manual is the only way to figure out how to go about it. Composite video will usually match up to composite audio inputs with naming conventions like Video 1 -> Video 1, Video 2 -> Video 2, etc., but cables like component and DVI may not. You should also configure digital audio inputs to match up with the video inputs you’re planning on using. For example, if you’re using a digital coaxial input (possibly “Digital 1″), and you use component video, you’ll want to match “Digital 1″ with “Comp 1″. Again, refer to your users manual for how to do this.

There are millions of homes moving from cable television to satellite TV each year. Those little 18 inch satellite dishes for the direct-to-home satellite services are seen every where, and chances are if you drive by two houses, one of them as a dish.

So, why the mass move to satellite TV? Can it be so much better than cable?

The following a just a few of the differences between cable and satellite TV.

Price

On average, basic cable will run you between $40 and $50 per month, and you will be charged a bit more for any add-ons or for digital programming.

You will also have to pay for adding cable to rooms within your home that don’t have the proper connections already installed. With satellite, the average price for basic service, which generally includes digital channels, is between $30 and $40.

Choice

Generally, the choices in cable TV programming are more limited than satellite TV channels, or you have to pay more to get the same number of channels. Cable TV providers are also behind in the number of high-definition channels being offered.

Outages

According to studies and statistics provided by all the cable and satellite providers, cable TV providers nationwide experienced 3 to 5% outages, while satellite TV providers only experienced 1%.

Customer Service

For the past five years, the top satellite TV providers were ranked higher than the top cable companies by JD Powers and Associates.

Local Programming

Although years ago, you could not get local programming through satellite, this is generally no longer the case. This was one of the main reasons people chose not to go with satellite TV. Currently, the top level satellite TV providers have options for local programming in most of the nation.

With all of this information, it seems that satellite TV is the clear choice for anyone who watches a lot of TV or who wants to have access to unique programming choices.

Satellite TV is obviously one of the important waves of television in the future, and provides a great deal of choice and more packages than most cable companies.

Of course, in some areas, basic cable is still much cheaper than satellite TV, and for those that only want to watch the news and a few local programming choices, this is probably the better option.
