Aussiedeb | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 05:20 pm     Thanks everyone. Gail has changed my email address on my profile now for me. I took his mom there last night and she couldnt believe how he has changed. I noticed that he is more child like and his short-term memory is not good either, but he was really happy to see me and held my hand the whole time and when it was time to go he just hugged me for a long time. I am going there all friday afternoon as he wants me to spend more time with him, but we couldnt last night as we had to drive the 2hrs home and go to college and work this morning. I am not happy with his works disability insurance as after all this time now tell us they need more information before releasing a check, so they are going to get a piece of my tomorrow. We will get evicted real soon if they dont move quickly. I did my psychology exam today and afterwards saw my professor to tell her if my results were not good its due to no time to prepare and situation with hubby. But I actually think I did ok in the exam so I will keep on praying. Thanks again gang... I will try to pop in and update. Deb |
Tess | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 05:40 pm     We'll keep on praying too, Deb. My heart goes out to your entire family. {{{Deb}}}

Aussiedeb | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 07:33 pm     I need to ask a huge favor please.. Does anyone tape TAR3 and S5 from this week on? I can't afford to get the cable back on and we are not allowed to put up an antenna etc, I am sure the landlord has a deal with Adelphia that makes us get cable or we dont get tv. I want to watch these shows so bad that on Thurs nights I can stay over at college and watch S5 in the game room, but after being there for 12hrs I just want to go home and its an hours drive. If someone can do it, I can send blank tapes to you as I have spares here. My email addy is : aussie1@bright.net Deb |
Juju2bigdog | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 10:52 pm     Weinermr? Draheid? How does one hook up rabbit ears? Well, maybe we ought to get the Hare over here. We used to have a fish camp on the Trinity River in Texas, no electricity, had to get there by boat, and I could get network television on my rabbit ears. (okay, before somebody asks, we had a generator to run the television) Aussiedeb, I am sure there will be several people taping those shows. |
Cricket | Wednesday, November 13, 2002 - 10:56 pm     Deb, I taped AR3 tonight and can tape Survivor behind it tomorrow night. I'll get some blank tapes and tape the shows for you. Do you want them mailed weekly? I'll e-mail you and we can discuss it. You are going through a rough time right now, but please know there are people out here praying for you and your husband. Take care of yourself. |
Aussiedeb | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 03:11 am     Thanks Juju I didnt think of that one. Only prob we might have is we are in the part of the town that is in like a dip or little valley. I know that people have high antennas around here, but will go to Radio Shack and pick up a pair, but since I am clueless when trying to set up the tv as that is hubbys job normally. Cricket, thanks for the email, I sent you one. I appreciate it a lot. I have most of the other eps on tape as they are good to back and watch sometimes. I also have S3 & S4 and TA1 & 2 on tape, well most of it anyway. Deb |

Draheid | Thursday, November 14, 2002 - 10:40 am     Ok, FWIW, there are a few different types of 'Rabbit Ears' (indoor antennas) and a couple of different things to consider with the TV. Most notably, what is the broadcast channel of the stations you want to view. If the channel is between 2 and 13, you need to have an antenna on VHF. If the channel is 14 or above, you need to have a UHF antenna. (Note: Newer TV's must be programmed to tune to 'Off-Air' or 'Broadcast' or 'Antenna' instead of 'Cable' in order to tune UHF channels from an antenna!) There will probably be two different connections on the back of your TV. One is where the cable hooked up, the other will be a pair of screw-terminals. The cable hookup (called an 'F-connector' is threaded with a hole in the middle). This can present a problem for older 'rabbit ears' because these usually have 'twin-lead' connections. You will need a little thing that allows you to connect the twin-lead to the cable connection (available at Radio Shack and sometimes included with rabbit ear antennas. It's called a matching transformer and the RS folks should know what it is. Also available at Wal-Mart but they don't usually know much about them!) The UHF connection isn't quite as much of a problem. Simply connect the twin-lead wires to each of the screw terminals and you set. Place the antenna as high as possible to get the best reception. You might need to turn it a little to get a better picture. Also, a lot of smaller (called table or portable) TV's include both a rabbit-ear type VHF antenna and a 'UHF Loop' antenna that you can use. The loop just screws onto the UHF terminals and the ears hookup as described above. I hope this helps. If you need more information, I would be happy to help any way I can. |
