Greenhouse from H F - Who has it ? Do you recommend??
Comments (2)If you would just scroll down 24 topics you will See this question just came up in the last few days. For much more info use the search feature hours of reading...See MoreDo I have a TV problem or DVD or Antenna problem?
Comments (3)From the information given, the reason for the low sound levels from the DVD player are likely because you are using your 2 channel TV speakers instead of a receiver which can decode the 5.1 to 7.1 channels of sound provided on the DVD. At the main menu for a DVD, Try selecting Setup, Audio and pick Dolby 2.0 or whatever 2 channel audio track is available if possible. That should improve the sound level of dialogue that would normally come from the center channel in a 5.1 speaker configuration. Some DVD's may not have a 2 channel mode available....See MoreQuestions about a roof mounted antenna for TV
Comments (19)Ability to receive OTA (Over-The-Air) broadcasts is based on things in addition to distance. I live about 60 miles E of NYC, and can receive most, but not all broadcast channels from there (I even sometimes get reception from a station in NJ!). In most areas now, there are no longer any low-band VHF stations (channels 2-6), but many UHF stations. So I got a high-band VHF antenna and a UHF antenna and mounted them on a 20 foot mast. I also got the best preamp I could find for under $200. I put this assembly on my west-facing deck and ran an RG6 cable into the house where the other half of the preamp and the TV are located. This setup works pretty well, although sometimes the sound drops out, but I can live with that. I intended to move this to the roof, but that's 40 feet off the ground and I'm scared to climb up there! (Remember, that after the digital conversion of broadcast stations, most changed their frequencies. In the NYC area, all the high-band stations stayed where they were, but the low band ones, including CBS, NBC, and Fox, all changed their broadcast frequencies to ones in the UHF band, but kept their old channel numbers in their logos. Modern digital TVs will search for all stations and display the old station numbers, even though they are using the new ones)....See MoreHas anyone bought plants from QVC? Would you recommend them?
Comments (13)There are SO many wonderful daylily farms out there - one reason I personally would not buy from QVC is that I would not be completely sure I was getting the named variety I was promised. Another reason is that all these wonderful farms depend on continued business to stay open, like rose people discourage buying from "big box" stores in favor of rose nurseries, to help them stay in business. I have ordered from quite a few rose and daylily nurseries this year [more than I should!]. If there is a particular daylily you want, google it - you will find a list of farms that carry it. Also, I really enjoy The Lily Auction online. LOTS of great daylilies and great prices! I have bought very expensive lilies for a fraction of their cost, and they sell seeds so you can raise your own. I have known Jack Carpenter for years { I cherish his huge diploids, no one else breeds those like he did]. Mark is a worthy heir - SUCH a nice friendly guy and will go overboard to earn your business. He is putting in a nursery that carries other kinds of plants, opening March 2. Well worth the trip! He digs huge fans, super healthy plants and gives daylily gifts with purchase. Other farms do this too....something QVC doesn't do. I have found so many great daylily farms just by googling a particular lily. Just ordered from Tom Kearst Gardens for some particular lilies I wanted.........See Morebpath
