Home Control Concepts sells the 1 for 12 remote by Universal Electronics
which is not programmable but is guaranteed to support every remote or
double your money back. They also sell a kit which allows your PC to
push the buttons and software comes with it that you can use or adapt.
The remote will also control BSR X10 type devices through an additional
IR interface command center box.

The 1 for 12 is billed as replacing 12 of your existing remotes for TVs,
VCRs, cable, CDs, Audio, Satellite and X10 modules. It has 32K of memory
with "the world's largest library of infrared codes". It is also supposed
to be manufacturer upgradeable at no charge.

Their ad in Nuts and Volts Magazine shows the following items

1 for 12 Universal remote    HCC-R5   $77.90
PC to IR Interface for above HCC-PCIR $69.00
BSR X10 IR Command Center    HCC-3000 $29.95

plus lots of other stuff. Phone is 1-619-693-8887 or 1-800-CONTROL for
orders only.

  Look Dave, why do own a dish then if you are interested in protection of 
copyright? I am assuming that you own a dish, and watch feeds that are not
intended for broadcast - ie if you viewed the Saturday Star Trek feed you are
disregarding your own position on copyright. It doesn't matter if the picture is
scrambled or not - you are robbing the syndicator of possible revenue that you
would have generated when you viewed it in your broadcast area. Remember that
without the commercials nobody gets paid. So I suggest that you turn in your
dish and stop bothering everyone ( I have yet to see a post that supported your
ridiculous proposal).

 Secondly, you seem to be under the impression that receiving a broadcast
signal for your own puposes is against the law. Regardless of the format of the
signal, since the programmer has chosen a public medium - in this case satelleite
transmission, it is up to the programmer to take as many steps possible to 
prevent unauthorized reception. If unauthorized reception does occur, the
programmer must either live with it, or change the encryption. If the programmer
chose to deliver the programming via coax or other non-public media, anyone
tapping into the line would be breaking the law. Don't you think the FBI or the
programmers would have taken anybody to court if they thought they had a leg to
stand on ?

 Thirdly, distribution of information is not illegal, even if that information
details how to break the law (distributing descrabling keys is not illegal by
the way, even if you get paid for it.) Dave, perhaps you miss the old communist
Russia, I'm sure that Fidel down in Cuba has a spot for you.

 Finally I predict that GI will replace the VCII with Digicypher within 3 yrs.
The new system is undergoing final tests during the HDTV trials by the FCC. GI
is already marketing this as an HDTV upgrade. Now if you think that GI is going
to upgrade legal units for free this time, you have another thing coming. At the
very least there will be an upgrade fee - probably $200-300. At the most, VCII
owners will get nothing. Of course there is the possibility of multiple
scrambling formats, in that case everyone is SOL.

Dave, ease your tortured mind, turn in your dish, beg mercy from the copyright
police, and get off this net.

WHAT you are experiencing is the unit is switching from NARROWBAND to
WIDEBAND with its automatic switching circuit.  If you touch any button on
the processor the sound will come back fine.

We have for over a year now been trying to find someone to figure out a way
to disable the automatic switching.  That is the only problem with the

Phil,

Check out the MicroMint.  The sell a board level 8031 microprocessor product
called IR link.  It is capable of sending and receiving 38Khz IR signals.  All
 you
do is hook it up to your PC through RS232 or RS485 and send commands
through the serial port.  It can be downloaded with previously stored
commands.

They are located in Vernon, CT (I don't have the ph number handy - write if you
can't find it.)  I think cost is about 99.00 kit form or 150.00 assembled and
tested.

Let me know how you make out.

Subject: Re: S-VHS connections

Joe:

All satellite video is composite, the chrominance and luminance have
already been combined into one signal.  The only real advantage of
S-video is if you can keep the two components separate.

Including S-video in a satellite receiver just means the composite
signal is being separated in the receiver instead of the tv or vcr.
You probably won't see any real difference using the S-video signal
as the separator circuits are probably very little different, just
located in different places.

Same situation as laser discs.

The Saturday night feed of Star Trek was better than it has been in MONTHS,
*AND* the frequencies of the audio subcarriers were right dead on.  Perhaps
they have changed uplink transmitters, and fully saturated the transponder.

Or perhaps we just caught the wobble of the bird when it was in the middle of
it's eccentric inclined orbit, and thus on-arc.

Whatever, it was a pretty decent episode.

Though as most of them, it has been done before.

Your third assumption is correct, but it is not something you should do.  I
do it in very rare cases.  Whenever I want to keep a tape, I record it in SP.
EP mode can have tracking problems in the future if the tape were to shrink or
expand a little.  It takes more shrinking/expanding before SP mode is affected.

You want to keep it, use SP.  You want to time-shift, EP mode is fine.  I do
some time-shifting in EP mode, when I don't have enough tape in the two S-VHS
machines that I have (to cover Thurdsay night when I am out).

My NEC switcher (admittedly not an A/V receiver) will separate the luminance
and chrominance in composite signals so that they can be routed to S-Video
out.  I believe the JVCs can do that same.  The reverse is also true
(you can get composite out from S-Video inputs).

There must be some A/V receivers/ amps or pre-amps that can do it as well????

If you've been reading this group for any length of time, you've seen the view
of some of us that the letterboxing process is being done with a method that
wastes bandwidth, and that anamorphic software would be a better solution.
Well guess what?  I've just seen a demo disc of clips of anamorphic films
transferred to video anamorphically!  My information says that we can expect
to see anamorphic widescreen discs within a year.  To avoid a multitude of
new formats, the intended aspect ratio of the software when expanded will
probably always be 16:9.  So a 2.4:1 Panavision film would still have *slight*
bands at the top and bottom.  I've already played with the vertical height 
on my TV and found that I can adjust it to 16:9 with ample adjustment range
left over.  Of course, the IDTV direct-view sets and projectors that are cur-
rently available have this mode built in.

My wife and I are considering buying a large screen TV.
I think that a 32" TV is large enough for our family room
but my wife prefers (insists ?) a 46" or larger rear projection TV.
Her argument is that rear projection TV has less radiation from the

We have a 1-1/2 years old daughter who likes to get very close

Is it true that a rear projection TV has less radiation?
Why?
