Cable boxes and their displays are so crappily done, it's a wonder if you'd even be able to fix it through that.
You really should have gone with a dish.

Everything has it's pros and cons. I think cable is more reliable and pound for pound a better value. I get phone, 15mb internet and HD cable for $140... now that's a good deal.
With the dish, you can get a cheater, you can sometimes get more content and so on... it's just not my cup of tea and if purchased legit, is WAY more expensive.

Maybe Canadian cable. American cable, namely Comcast, is shit.

I've heard that your cable down there is shit and that you pay big dollars for that shit to boot. Sucks to be you.

How often does your satellite go down or get affected by the weather?

You know what?
I live in Florida, the thunderstorm cap of the world, and my sat tv goes down very rarely.
I can count on one hand the number of times I lost signal in the last few years.
When it goes out, it's back as soon as the sky clears, unlike cable.
When I had cable, if it went out, it was time to get out the Monopoly board.

We have Dish Network here...bad thunderstorms really effect it, but honestly the last time we had an outage (not counting Ike because that was something else all together) was like 9 months ago. But there was period before that where it seemed to go down everytime the sky got a little cloudy. It's gotten a lot better. Now I just wish the cost would stop rising every six months, that's my big beef. I want to keep my hd channels obviously, but they aren't being fair about pricing.

Rarely. We had a blizzard a few years back and it was knocked out for 2 days but only because my dish is on the roof and I couldn't get up there to knock off the snow. The main problem seems to happen when the dish is knocked off its position after lots of wind, but I haven't had a problem with that in almost a year.
As with anything, it seems like when you get someone who knows what he's doing out to your house to do work, the problems go away.

As you all probably know by now, I replaced the faulty receiver with this model.
http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/productdetail.html?CNTID=5028042&CTID=5000300
I am liking it but there are a few things that I miss about my old one, specifically a test tone and a music feature that spread the sound around the front and rear speakers evenly. The new one doesn't have a test tone feature and the music features are all based on "halls" or "theater" arrangements meaning that most comes from the fronts, a little from the rears, with some reverb.
Still learning about it though so maybe I will still be able to do those things.

Yes, it does actually have all those functions, you just gotta spend more time with it. The is a 7 channel music enhancer that works in 5.1 and I think thats what you're looking for, for the tunes. and there is a test noise, you just gotta dig my friend, dig and dig hard!!! lol

Bah!
I moved my center channel. It was behind my TV, Used to be on top, but you can't stack a center channel on a flatpanel, so I didn't have anywhere to put it. It ended up behind the TV, kind of dangling a little on the edge of my stand. Now I have moved it to the floor of the stand. Not dangling, not behind a solid object, thus blocking the soundwaves. But...because it's so low, it's obvious where the sound is coming from. It's all...low. Bollocks.
I guess I could try swapping the receiver with the center channel.
