any suggestions for a USB based over the air digital tv tuner?

Mark, I've got one sitting in a box under my desk. It also has a small small TV antenna. It's an extra I have but you're welcome to it. I'll bring it when I visit next week. It's a HP but made by Hauppage (sp?).
 
I hope those therapy folks don't resemble the two outer images in your avatar :)
After reading your last post about Robie's visit I had to dig out my old 45 copy of 'they called him a streak' due to potential info overload :D. Keep healing sir.

Mark, I'm off work Monday and can visit and resolve that issue then (if you can wait that long). I can bring the TV tuner too on Monday.
 
Hey Mark,
Glad to see that you are doing better,I just succesfully rebuilt a SX-1280 p/s board transistors,caps,zeners,diodes and a few resistors,also recapped the protection circuit board and amp boards and it is dialing in nicely and sounds great.
There is so much info on the AK forums scattered about from all of your help that most everything is covered if you look hard enough,not to say that we don't all miss the help cause even with instructions there are those of us that will mess it up anyway :o).
Keep getting better!!

Hello Mark,

It is good to see you being able to continue to post.

I hope that your are able to cope with SWS.


When I was in the hospital for my heart, I had to cope with SWS. It was not easy but I had to do it.



SWS (Solder Withdrawal Syndrome):D:D

As we all know, the melting of solder is addictive, both physically and psychologically.:yes:

Have a good weekend.
 
not big stooge's fan

most newer members have forgotten that the stooges were "awarded" as an observation of a particular "interesting" troubleshooting thread.

i posted a picture of an atomic bomb's mushroom cloud

EchoWars then posted that pic

then i adopted it as my avatar

bottom line
troubleshooting threads could easily resemble stooges routines.
 
Mark,

See you tomorrow afternoon. Let me know if there's anything else you need.

I'll bring the tuner. Do you still need velcro?
 
Hey Mark,

Glad you are on the return... Anything you need just give me a shout (er hem a PM).:worthless Just Kidding of Course!
 
I'm one of them! :wave:


Amen to that Mark - I learned the hard way. :ntwrthy:

As well as I but still learning the hard way. Glad to see you doing better Mark. My wife asks for updates all the time. Keep up the progress :thmbsp:.. I Thank you for all your help! SA-9100 sounds amazing!
 
I saw Mark today. IMO he has improved substantially.

We were both frustrated trying to install the USB TV tuner, new hub and reestablish contact via the Virgin 3G device. We didn't get very far with the TV tuner and Windows Media Player interface. After at least 40 minutes of install time, it did not seem to capture any over the air stations. All of this went on with slow internet, and waiting for a Windows update to install (close to 30 minutes). As Mark pointed out, this is just a fraction of his daily frustration. Turns out, the Virgin 3G device doesn't work with the new hub but that will give Mark a vexing problem to figure out. Eliminating the hub got him back on line but I don't know about TV reception.

I could only stay for a couple of hours but I was encouraged that, IMO, Mark is back.

Please keep your notes and wishes coming.
