This may be a stupid question, but I was going to buy a tv signal booster from ebay, and it comes from Hong kong. Will that fit my tv? I have no reception whatsoever as I don't have an antenna, is this all I need to get picture? Thankyou

You should try local stores like Radio Shack. Maybe ebay is cheaper but make sure they would work on your tv and not just some gadget that they say work. \nhttp://www.buymebuyme.com/retail/customer/product.php?productid=44975&partner=g&gclid=CKP4r5n5xIQCFQtTCwodtCW9Kw\nhttp://www.dropamp.com/

The TV works off of signals, so if it can't pick up a signal, it gives you static because it can't find any channels. The actual static is just the result of the TV not finding a channel or signal.

Hi, my freeview is jut fine. I think that it may be your box rather than the signal as they are made on the cheap. if it does work, watch Goldeneye on ITV2. It's great.

I have a T40. Most laptops hide its antenna next to the LCD screen (be careful, not to break it). Thus, you can either re-mount that antenna out-of-LCD or get a USB/PCMCIA wireless card with high-gain antenna.

Hi. What you need is a 3d graphics card that can support TV out. You can tell which supports which when you're buying it by checking on the box. Make sure you know that type of connector that your TV uses so that you can pick the right one. The most commonly used is serial connectors coz it's less expensive.\nChoosing the type of card would depend entirely on you, depending on what kind of PC/Laptop you have, and the specs.\nMake sure you know your system spec and compare it with the graphics card that you want to puchase

Best Buy sells them. They are like a miniature satellite dish that beams the signal. I have never tried one but I hear they work well.

js3971 i dont know which go-forsaken country you live in but in India we have a lot of things other than electricity. Anyway no use arguing with a dim wit. Doordarshan didnt get the broadcasting rights. But whats the harm ? ESPN is showing it & they have a much better package, why complain ?

It has everything to do with the distance the signal has to travel. Of course the longer distance the signal has to travel the weaker it becomes. Would you stay with them if you were not getting the signal strength they promised? If you say "no I would not stay with them" to that question then you just answered your own question. That other company can not do any better because they use the same kind of signal. Distance is the key here you can not change the law of Physics.

CCTV is simply normal TV without a broadcase.  The camera puts out a video signal that's the same video signal that your TV displays.  The only difference is that there's no conversion to RF and back as there is with standard broadcast TV.\n\nI suggest that rather than waiting for someone to do your research for you, you should get off your metaphorical butt and start doing the work:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-circuit_television\nhttp://electronics.howstuffworks.com/tv.htm

Adapted,,not "converted"\n\nAny adaptation falls back to analog signal\n\nYou need DVI FEMALE x VGA MALE\n\nhttp://www.pacificcable.com/Picture_Page.asp?DataName=DVIHD15M\n\n$18\n\nThat will plug into Your VGA Video Card output,,,and your DVI monitor will plug into it\n\n\nNote that it's dvi-A...Analog\n\nthere's a variety of DVI connectors\n\nRead this\n\nhttp://www.pacificcable.com/DVI_Tutorial.htm\n\nNote FAQ#6\n"Can I connect a DVI cable to VGA?\nYou can connect a DVI-I or DVI-A directly to VGA using our DVIVGA cables because DVI-I and DVI-A send analog signals. You can not directly connect a DVI-D to a VGA because DVI-D only uses digital signals. In order to connect a DVI-D to VGA you first need to use a DVI Converter to electronically convert digital to analog and analog to digital. "\n\nCheck your TV's DVI connector.\nIt's most likely DVI-I..I'd guess\n\nIf it happens to be DVI-D...Digital Only,,can't do.\n\nThe distinguishing feature is the group of pins around the flat blade connector\n\n::::::  --- <   Thats DVI-D,,,No pins around blade,Wont Work\n\n::::::  :-:  < That's DVI-I or -A,,Has Pins,,Will work\n\n..............................\nYou  may be able to find one cheaper than $18+ shipping\n\nLike This,,for a few bucks\nhttp://cgi.ebay.com/DVI-Female-To-VGA-Male-Video-Adapter-Converter-HDTV-LCD_W0QQitemZ200044026425QQihZ010QQcategoryZ41993QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item200044026425\n\nYou need DVI FEMALE x VGA MALE\n\nHope that helps

Both Satellite Systems Are Good Better Than Cable You Can Take It With You Any Where And Still Get It! Try Doing That With Cable!

nothing on TV is as it seems once you get it home and they aren't always available on TV some stores have them on sale. so skip the shipping and handling charges.... if you want something get what's out in the open not in a hidden spot.. get it...........

how do you compete with http://www.alibaba.com plus hundreds of thousands americans and other foreigners going to China's annual exhibition?\n-what product guarantee can you offer? products from china are mostly cheap, but very low on quality (not all, but mostly)

Completely your bad luck.  Can't believe you think they would hand you over the cash difference, that's just ridiculous.  If that was the case shops would never have goods on sale!\n\nLike another answerer said, all you could do was say it was faulty and you wanted a refund, then when you got your refund, buy it at the reduced price and pocket the extra cash.\n\nHowever, beware they are not obligated to refund you, by law, if the tv is faulty they must offer to refund, repair or replace it, so it is more than likely they would just give you another tv.\n\nAlso, I work in retail and if someone did this (refund and then try to buy at lower price) I wouldn't sell them the cheaper TV!\n\nYou have been unlucky.  Thats what happens!

Yes, it needs to be USB. There are USB analog tuners that will work with analog antenna or satellite / cable signals. Note that these will not be high definition, even if you have high definition cable or satellite programming. The other alternative is a high definition USB tuner card, though the catch is you can only get OTA (over the air) programming. If you are ok with that, check out the reference below:

lots of problems with sky, mainly due to loss of reception in poor weather, but that can't be helped im afraid since the reception of the signal depends on the line of sight from the sattelite to your dish being clear, ie no clouds, heavy rain, snow etc. NTL/Telewest are good providers, but again the same applies because they get their programme contents from sattelites, only difference being they use huge dishes whereas your home dish is probably a standard 60cm dish, so though signal loss is possible in bad weather even with cable, its not as likely, the big plus side is, the broadband and phone packages availale with cable, they more than make up for any tv disruption, so have a look at NTL/Telewest packages
