Hi:

Please don't neglect this message. Please respond with reasonable
answers.

In April of '89, I rented a cable-converter-box from United Artist. It
was obviously an analogue cable-converter as at that time, there were
no digital equivalents. It had red LED display for the channels. I
gave it back to United Artist Cable in August of '92.

Where can I find this box or something similar? I have the book that
came with the cable box but it doesn't give the model-# or anything I
could use to ID it?

Also, what happened to United Artist? I called up their phone number
in August of '94, and their name was changed to "TCI Cable Vision".
That phone number is no longer valid.

This cable box had the option of connected to channel 2 or 3 in the
television. This was weird because usually the option is channel 3 or
4, as it was with the Nintendo Entertainment System I had at the time.

Currently, what is the name of the cable company who used to be United
Artist?

No offense but please respond with reasonable answers & keep out the
jokes, off-topic nonsense, taunts, insults, and trivializations. I am
really interested in this.


Thanks in advance,

Radium

www.Ebay.com do a search for cable box. Sounds like a Jerrold.

Did it occur to you that maybe no one answered because no one knew
the answer?

First reasonable answer to everyone else;
The OP is Radium. He's a k00k. Only he could come up with a need for an
obsolete cable-tv converter. Only he could make a moral issue out of
the fact that UA cable went bye-bye.

Did it occur to you that people who know better try to avoid feeding the
trolls?

I used to often play my Nintendo when it was connected to channel 3.
However, I was change the TV channel to 4. I could see the video of
the game but it was fuzzy and covered in grains. The music of the game
was absent, and instead was filled with frightening-yet-enjoyable
tones [sounding like a buzzer, lawn mower, or electric shaver] along
with a faint audio of what was being discussed on the channel 4 news.
I would get so scared, yet I would enjoy it.

I could only get this effect when I had the cable box. Without the box
it does not work. The cable box also seemed to filter out most of the
random noise while keeping the heterodyne-like qualities of the audio-
disruptions. The TV build also matters. I still have the TV I used.
It's a Mitsubishi CS-2655R. What I like about this TV is that it is
extremely sensitive to weak signals. Most TVs will simply not play any
audio when receiving these weak signals. Most TVs have a cut-off that
is way above that of my CS-2655R. I've got 4 TV in my house including
the CS-2655R. One of the other TVs is also Mitsubishi but is much
newer -- I bought it in May of 2000. This TV does not receive the weak
magnetic disruptions, my CS-2655R is able to capture. I wonder why all
the other TVs have a stricter limit to the softest sound they can
receive.

I'm sorry I answered your question. Damn googlegrouper I keep forgetting to
look.

If you were to use a real newsreader, you could filter the dipshits out.

You sound like the old man I had to deal with after a picture-tube
replacement back in 1969. The old bastard refused to pay because there
was no "brown halo around big things on the screen".

Nobody but you can see or feel these things you expound upon. What's
your next one? A particular showerhead that tingled your nuts "just so"?
A type of bean that made your farts resonant at a certain frequency?
