Productive morning
Mar. 1st, 2008 11:50 amI just spend the last hour rebuilding our upstairs entertainment setup. This resolves three recent issues.
1. The Slingbox died. After several calls to Slingmedia's tech support, they authorized a RMA and sent me a new Slingbox Pro. This is now installed and working great.
2. Bad location for some components. The receiver and tv control box were to low on the tv stand, so sometimes the remote was unable to get a signal to them. I moved all of the components up to the top two shelves so they are more visible.
3. Audio Hum. For the past few weeks we've been hearing an occasional hum from the speakers. I think this was caused by the speaker wires laying across the power cords, or maybe just a loose connection somewhere. Since I was moving components around, I reseated all of the cables and tried to wrap them up for better management.
I just need to send the old Slingbox back to Slingmedia.
Now I need to get showered and run over to our vet to pick up pills for Gabby.
