The cable box volume adjusting as mentioned is not only a "kludge" way of remote volume, it can also cause the T.V. amp to suffer dammge when those Newscasts with the "Lets go to charlie live at.." and POP! someone drops the signal. Then again..not all cable companies do stuff the same way. Ours doesn't supply volume adjust ..(Its hard enough getting a box that works..).. and what the heck, spend another $150 and pick up a cable ready TV with a remote. The 120HZ hum you hear now is the precursor to the low whistle when you get the bill from the TV shop. -Mikey -- ============================================================================= = Mike Carter N7GYX, Phoenix AZ| Q: Why did the Chicken cross the road ? = = hplabs!hp-sdd!crash!xroads!wiz| A: To ESCape the Main Menu . = =============================================================================
