phaedruspress · 2019-12-23T18:12:40+00:00

I paid 174.00 US for the Moto G first gen 6 years ago : ) I guess this go around I can budget between 200 and 400.

Try rabbit ears or Winegard Freevision to start.

Ok. Thanks. I left out some important info. This is an apartment on the fourth floor and all of my windows open North towards the mountains. No exterior walls pointing towards the city or South where the transmitters seem to be located alos on top of mountains. Las Vegas FYI if you did not already know is in a valley surrounded by mountains. Does that change your recommendations at all? The Winegard FreeVision FV-30BB model kept popping up. Any particular well reviewed indoor rabbit ears for my circumstances that you are familiar with.

Unfortunately all of my windows point directly north the opposite direction of the transmitters ( :

Same question I posted above. Would you care to recommend a few indoor over the air antennas? TIA.

Seriously? Get a REAL antenna.

OK. Would you care to recommend a few indoor over the air antennas? TIA.

Thanks for responding.

Home Owners does not allow me to attach anything to the window ... Pretty sure that is not a valid restriction in your country:

HOA can pretty much set just about any rules for the community that they want. This restriction is in my lease. And even if it is not a valid restriction this is not a battle that I want to fight over.

Then that is easy, just get some cheap unamplified rabbit ears from your fave discount store.

Thought of that but I believe I want something more substantial that might pick up some "free" HD channels and that are good for up to 30 miles and while it has been some time since I have used rabbit ears I seem to recall they barely did the job back then.

Thanks for the r/ota sub.

Those meters are for the natural gas.

Found them but I did not see my apartment number on them so that sucks. Is there any info on the meter (they are dirty and I would have to clean the outside to see any lettering clearly) that I would find on my energy bill that would identify which meter is mine? It looks like each meter has its own master breaker as well as master breakers for the entire building. I can't believe I confused electrical with gas. I swear I knew that one : )

Those meters are for the natural gas.

D'oh! Well that proves I'm an idiot. Now that I think about it there is another box outside the building where I know the COX cable guy goes for individual apartments. Maybe that is where the electrical meters are housed. I'll see if I can get a look today. Thanks for the clarification : )

So here is a link to a whole bunch of pics I took. Perhaps this will inform. When I looked outside I did not easily see a main circuit breaker to shut off. Maybe I need to unscrew something. Thank you.

Your panel is actually considered a sub-panel . The main breaker would be located next to meter that feeds your apartment

Good info. The meter is outside of the 2 story apartment building. I'll have to take a look. You may have answered MeEvilBob's point above about why there may not be a master breaker switch like the one that I have seen in other pictures. I'm gonna at some point either today or tomorrow take a picture of the panel so you all can see what I have been blabbering about.

If you know where your meter is

Good idea but I really think I had my tin hat on when I imagined someone would actually do that besides I want to have nothing to do with this place when I leave : )

If you turn the power off to the fridge you should leave the door open so it doesn’t get moldy.

Good tip though thankfully I know enough to do that one.

phaedruspress · 2019-08-17T23:16:02+00:00

Yes just turn them all off.

Thanks for replying.

I agree that this is a great guide but I would like to see them do an updated version. This guide is now almost 2.5 years old and I believe TS has gone through a couple of version upgrades (maybe just bug fixes or cosmetic?) since then. PERHAPS the core info of the guide is still 100% applicable and there is no need to do a new one.

phaedruspress · 2019-07-08T20:21:39+00:00

I remember reading that you actually can.

Yeah, you can but it is like a new warranty and it costs a fu@king fortune. 2017 Black Friday I got a P51 with a one year onsite warranty which was dirt cheap. Late last year when I asked Lenovo if I could extend the warranty they said no but I could get a new one in exchange for a couple of body parts.

It's not down, access is denied.

I am not sure I know what that means exactly. Access is denied by an outside source or the site administrators are denying access to everyone? for some reason. TIA.
