Garmin is no longer telling you what receiver they are putting in their devices. On my older 260, I found it by doing this: Go to Tools / Settings / System / About. If your GPS software version number has a "b" as a suffix, it's Bravo. An "m" means it's MTK.

Yeah, I don't know which is more buggy so I only own the mk908, I can say that the 908 reception has never been a problem and I do thank the external antenna. I have this and chromecast. Hate chromecast, but honestly now that chromecast is opting to really start opening the door to 3rd party it will probably be my long term choice. Love the 908 mirroring idea... But, yeah, bugs. Whether it is hardware or the ezcast app I seem not smart enough to say..... But it can get tedious and frustrating. I have fiddled, prayed, watched videos, etc. It is annoying that you can't rely. Sometimes just doesn't work well.

Is it true that the 920 doesn't have antenna hook-ups? I did a comparison at Sony's site and it shows the 820 with an FM and an AM antenna, but nothing for the 920. I live out in the country and I'm afraid without antenna connections I'll not be able to get an over the air radio stations. Thanks.

I too, purchased the haier in October. I finally gave up and called Amazon and had them cancel the order and I then ordered the Axion. When I read about the internal tuner, I thought that even though the Axion is a bit more money, it might be a better set. My TV arrived on Tuesday and I love it! this didn't get all the channels with the built in tuner and the connected antennae on top. It got some but I had to keep moving it around to try to pick up the signal better and for each station, I had to change position again. I then remembered the other antennae it came with which I attached (you have to disconnect the built in tuner to do so) and this one has a nice long cord so I put the antennae on the window sill and boom, every station came in perfectly and I can put the TV wherever I want. It gets a great HD picture with no cable hooked up and the sound is great. I am so glad I just canceled my haier order and bought this one, I have a feeling the haier would have had the same reception issues as I originally did with this one and the haier did not come with the extra antennae like this did.

I receive channels 4.1, 4.2, 6.1, 6.2 etc. depending on how the antena is positions, some better than the others but if I really want to I can move it o I get eventually the one I want without nise. You may also check if your cord does niot affect the reception, in onother room I have a digital panel antena and it is very sensitive to its own cord position.

J. Greer, which Best Buy did you get your TV from? The ones that I have visited in MI are not even carrying any 950s, I am not sure why. Also, did any of you compare the picture quality of the 950 with the 850? Is there a big improvement? Not sure which one I want to get, I realize one is LED and one is not but the A850 has a great deal on it while the 950 is on the expensive side for me. If there is a big difference I am willing to spend extra on the 950. Thanks!

I live about 15 miles from the antenna that transmits the signals from most of the stations and I get very good reception. I have mine in the basement and I have a very small window facing the direction where the antenna is, and I get all of the channels. Here in Minneapolis and St. Paul, there are a couple of main antennas that do this and I happen to know where they are. Maybe you are not facing the right direction, or maybe there are too many buildings or interference in the way, or maybe you live too far. Find out where the antenna that transmits the signal is and make it face that way. Since I bought mine, I get all of the channels. Before this one, I tried two different ones (RCA and another one) and neither worked. This one is so far by far the best. I think if I bring it to the main floor I will even get more channels. I hope it helps.

Max,I got a new HT via A,azion.com and it came from Radio mart in KY. Just way to many of you are worried about the newest version. My newest version is a 5RA and it has the 2nd to the last firmware.But that means nothing at all. All you need to know is here. http://www.miklor.com/ Please join the list but those guys will just tell you to read up in the files.I like mine,it has a siren,the case is beautiful but it has it's quirks. Guys are downloading software but I did mine manually. Some need WIN XP and others using VISTA need to download an updated driver. PLEASE DO NOT WORRY ABOUT LATEST FIRMWARE as i may only be a restriction on what you can or can't do out of the ham bands. I called this pure junk because it is hard to manually program it and at timed I'm in FREQ mode and it jumps into memory mode. Keep in mind that the mailing list is very,very large and many still do not have a TECH license. Use it as it was intended for and don't try making a queen mary from a canoe. Many are still using the very first unit and have no problems http://www.409shop.com/shop_displaynews.php?id=608&userid=100556 http://groups.yahoo.com/group/baofeng_uv5r/ These links will help BOB AF2Q

I only have the DB2 hooked up now here in the chicago burbs and I get 2, 5, 7 and 9 just fine in addition to all the uhf channels.You'll really have to check it out for yourself, location, distance from signal, obstructions in the way, are you on a hill, flat or in a valley, house ,apt or condo etc etc...all are factors towards a good installation of the right antenna.

I've tried a few different cables, one is 1.4 and another is the one that came with the 360 which idr what version it is... It seems like other people are able to get their 360 working, so I wouldn't let my problem scare you off. The sound is way better then my past two htibs

Hey T. McAnaney,Yes, when I compared specs, I too looked and said, why should I pay more for an item that has the same specs? What is so different about this new model. I even went to web sites that had incorrect information on the specs of the TH-42PX600U, and the TH-42PX75U had the specs of the TH-42PX600U. So I ended up buying the TH-42PX600U. Even from what I heard that the 75U is supposed to have 1080p, versus the 1080i, I did not believe it would be worth the additional cost.

thank you for your response- I found a discussion on yahoo yesterday that explained the antenna pretty well- basically that the so called "HD antenna the retailers are selling is hype and not really needed .

Mine provided worse reception than I had before. Can't Answer your question because I threw mine away....

I haven't had any problems with mine at all. Make sure your antenna is up. Be sure both are set to the same channel and make sure you are within range. Best wishes. I hope it works for you because I absolutely love mine. It none of the above suggestions work maybe it's defective. Return it and request another one. It's worth it but sorry about your troubles.

3602 is good but definitely 3908. I own both first having the 3602 then upgrading to the 3908 and they both were the money! Great sound range on the 3908 and it can get really loud

This particular untit did not work 100% for me. It worked better than other units I tried but not enough to keep it. It MIGHT work for you. It was one of the better units I tried. My issue is not hills but buildings around me. I also tried to amplify the signal....the channel did come in a little better but still didn't come in clear and unbroken. I did get all other channels really clear, just not the one local channel. However, This was not the only brand that would not get the channel. I tried four different brands, none successfully received the channel. I am still looking for one that will get all the local channels where I live .... I cannot use an outside antenna (I'm in a condo) so I have to find one for inside. This unit was the best of the one's I tried. I would suggest you try it....you can always send it back.
