    Dish Network DTVPal DVR Problem

    I have a DTVPal DVR that was made by Dish Network. They stopped producing and servicing this unit.
    The problem I have is that the picture will intermittently distort like it's receiving a weak signal. After so many of these the unit will lockup, and need to be reset. The signal strength is good, and I don't see anything obvious on the mainboard or power supply board.
    I tried heating the boards to see if the problem would get worse, but it didn't. I tried disconnecting the antenna to see if it would do it when just watching a recorded movie, it still does it.
    I've not checked to voltages yet.
    Anyone know what the problem might be?

      Samsung UN55JU650DF network/streaming problem
      by howardc64
      Fixed a 9 year old UN55JU650 by replacing backlight. Original backlight LED was still working after 27k! hours but terrible picture of course. Few LEDs were out, 5-6 lens fell off (bright white spots) and another few popped off with slightest force. Surviving LEDs were all slightly blue so picture has a blue tint.

      This TV runs older Tizen OS (updated to latest version, see pic) and have problems with network (wifi or ethernet) connection. The Tizen UI frequently switch to coax input source while changing content sources. . If no good signal (coax not connected, no prior antenna/cable...

      Home network connection problem
      by davg
      I just bought a new ThinkPad laptop and I need to connect it to my home network. I have several computers on my network and can see each other in File Explorer and the older ones can communicate with each other (even with the new one) but the ThinkPad can see the other computers but can't communicate with them. I get the (network error 0x80070035 The network path not found). I tried several scenarios that I found on line but none of them worked?? Since the other computers on the network can communicate fine I'm assuming the problem is with the setup of the ThinkPad? All computers are running Windows...

      Problem with LG Plasma 60PM6700 - Random power downs
      by theone111
      I have an LG Plasma TV 60PM6700 for the past ~12 years.

      In the last ~3-4 months I have been having some issues.
      1. Problem: It started with random picture disappearing (sound still worked).
        Frequency: Happened about once a week.
        Solution: Had to turn off TV wait a few seconds before turning it on again.
      2. Problem: Then it got worse and the TV started to shut down and when turning on the no picture just sound.
        Frequency: Happened about once a week.
        Solution: Had to turn off TV wait about 10-20 seconds and turn it on again to solve.
      3. Problem: TV shuts down
