Xander ,'The Killer In Me'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
As many problems as AT&T has, I'd much rather be with them than with Sprint. Hands-down the worst cell phone experience I've ever had, both call quality and customer service.
(Also, I lurve my new iPhone. It's SO FREAKING FAST compared to my old 3G.)
Why does this decision have to be so freakin' HARD?
Thank you so much!
I have put in a request for an upgrade, but not sure if it will be approved as I didn't ask for it in the budget meetings.
ETA: My real name is not Sophia, if you get a strange email~
To be totally fair, I left Sprint years ago and it's entirely possible they've improved since then.
At this point, for me, I'm happy enough in the iPhone ecosystem that the amount I've already spent on apps & music is enough to keep me there a little longer. (And if I switched to another phone, I'd still need an iSomething for my music, which would make buying a full-featured Android phone kind of a waste of money. I don't want to go back to carrying two devices.)
It sounds like your receiver is having difficulty switching between stereo PCM and Dolby digital.
Would this switching happen in the middle of a recorded program or DVD? On the Tivo, it often happens right after I've fast forwarded past commercials. The crazy-crackle continues until I rewind a few seconds and then hit play again.
On a TV show when going from or to a commercial break? Yes. In the middle of a DVD? Not so much.
When it happens on the TiVo, do you notice any other problems with the signal, like macroblocking?

It's fast-forwarding through anything, though, not just commercials.

No, the video is fine.
Sophia, I got called into an urgent meeting - will take care of it as soon as the hysteria dies down.
No problem- I will move on to other things!
I never had any issues with Sprint, and always had good coverage. Nothing like the PITA T-Mobile has proven to be.
