A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

I never had any issues with Sprint, and always had good coverage. Nothing like the PITA T-Mobile has proven to be.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Help, please! I've got a 17.5 MB pdf file, that I didn't realize was so freakin' large when I scanned it in.

Is there anyone that can resave it as a smaller file? I can't email it through my corp network otherwise. I'd do it myself but I'm on the road.

Thanks!

If you email it to me, I can optimize it, which should hopefully shrink it enough. How much is too much?

MFN,

if you can't email it, my main suggestion would be to save it in parts. Is it a multi-page document? You can save the first X pages as 1 part and the next X pages as the second part.
