I do not have an Apple TV, but I have a Roku. Have you looked into Roku?

Doesn't your Tivo do Netflix streaming?

I did TiVo with antenna for a while, it wasn't too bad (it was years ago though). I'd vote making someone figure out how to make your antenna work, but if you think that'll be a few months, I guess cancel the TiVo. But if the TiVo is a newish one that does Netflix, forget a new AppleTV!

Trust my rage

Well, and I feel sort of dumb even writing this, my Tivo streams Netflix but I don't get any sound. I've tried it a few times, many months apart, but never any sound.

Stephanie, see this thread: [link]

Are you using an HDMI cable?

I turned on our Samsung LCD TV for the first time in a few days, and there is a thin horizontal line of static flickering up and down the screen. I don't suppose it's due to some sort of setting or cable that may have been jostled by playful kittens? Not a hardware problem?

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

Is it on one channel, or all channels?

It was there when I was running the PS3 (that's the blu-ray player for us), but when I was using the DVD player, it wasn't showing up. I am going to test the other video sources tomorrow, and Plei's DH is going to come by and look at it for me tomorrow.

Please, dear imps and gremlins of tech, let it be an easy fix.

I tried about six times to load GroceryIQ onto my Android phone, and it just wouldn't. So annoying.
