RE: Will RG6 improve my RG59 signal on my 5er
I spent $300. having the RG59 in my stick house updated to RG6 and I didn't see any difference.
Personally I think it is one of those "buy me" labels even though they say on paper it is suppose to work better. I didn't see it.

RE: Using air brake air nipple to fill bike tires
I run the engine, use the same connection to air the tires on my MH. I bought a 50 ft coiled air hose at Harbor Freight and use the on board compressor all the time.

RE: Verizon droid - losing pictures
after extensive searching I found that with the JB update if you swipe slightly upwards it deletes the photo. DUMB shortcut. Boy I'll say. And rotating the photo is difficult and results in some surprising things, like showing 12 pictures at the same time.
Rotation is now a joke, 1/2 the time the photos will not rotate. I have to back out of the photo screen, rotate the phone, then open the photo again. What a joke! I now carry one of my old digital cameras in the truck for "must have" pictures.

RE: Verizon droid - losing pictures
I also have the same problem and after extensive searching I found that with the JB update if you swipe slightly upwards it deletes the photo. DUMB shortcut. I also have the same problem rotating the photos. Jelly Bean leaves a lot to be desired in the photo dept.

RE: Verizon droid - losing pictures
Surely there is a better website for such questions. I would post the same question on Google.
I am a member of this forum and I am GLAD it was posted here, I have the same problem. Last time I looked this IS the tech forum.

RE: FTC takes action on Robo-Calling
Easy solution: Caller ID and screen the calls. If we don't know them, we don't answer. If it's important, they'll leave a message, if not, it's a Robo caller.
x2
X3That is great except why should I have to pay 50% more on my phone bill to stop something that is illegal? To get caller ID on my land line from Windstream increases my phone bill $8.00 per month.
That is another easy solution. Save the 8 bucks and put up with the aggravation. :) My Doctors and VA are using Robo calls now, but they leave messages about my appointments. I still don't answer unknown calls and it works for me. I even have "announce caller" built into my phones...now I don't even have to get up to see who is calling. Those phones cost extra too.

RE: eternabond tape
I was lucky, my caulking was pretty level. I just cleaned it with lacquer thinner and layed the 4 inch Eternabond right over it. That was 10 years ago and it still looks like new.

RE: Drove with the antenna up!
I guess the old trick of hanging your keys on the crank, or putting them in front of the antenna switch when using the antenna still works. Sorry to hear of you problem, but I am one that has had very good service from Winegard when parts have worn out. They even told me, over the phone, of the closets dealer that would have the part I needed.

RE: Wifi question
Not only will it slow your connection down, but what if he gives the password to one of his friends and he gives it to his of his friends then someone has a music download party, where would it be traced too?

Why all the negativism, it might be a good site, if not don't list it in your favorites.

RE: New "Free RV Park finder for android
Thanks for sharing this application. I spend a few minutes looking up some not easily found places across several states - including city owned and outlet mall spots - all were posted!
Impressive
That was what impressed me with this app, County and City parks, which in our travels have been fantastic but hard to find unless you "heard" about it.
Also marked were the Walmarts and the no parking logo for those that don't allow overnight parking. Very impressive "free" app.

RE: NEW LAPTOP???
Just bought a Dell Inspiron 15 with Win7 and no bloatware. Don't remember the exact price but it was under 500 bux
Wife needs one for the same reasons as original post. I just ordered a Dell, Win7 Pro, built in camera & mike, card reader, 4 gb memory with room for 4 more, and a 6-cell battery. Costco sale; $299 + shipping. They also include a full Kaspersky anti-virus with 1 year updates at no add'l charge.
That is a heck of a deal. I liked my Dell until I spilled a glass of wine on it and smoked it and it did smoke.

RE: NEW LAPTOP???
I bought a 15.5 inch ASUS for the motorhome for two reasons, a metal case and it has the least amount of blot ware loaded on it. Super fast right out of the box. Very impressed with it and it's in the $450. range.

New "Free RV Park finder for android
I just found this app the other day and it is NICE, free and no ads.
RV Parky
I did a search and did not see it mentioned here so I thought I would share. It seems really complete with County Park listings which most apps do not list. Lots of feature and direct connection to web sites for reviews and photos.

RE: Tethering Speed
Thanks, folks. I can see how tethering is not going to be our answer.
Not a 100% but getting a smartphone for traveling was one of the smartest things I have ever done. I have a $30 a month 4 GB data plan with Verizon. We travel 3-4 month a year and using Foxfi while on the road for "free" wifi hotspot has been and absolute blessing. Using two laptops and a Kindle Fire we have never used half of our allowed data. All the emails and surfing we want, just no movies.
No more lousy park wifi and the smartphone will pull up everything you want while on the road, RV Parks, food, fuel, etc and you don't have to be "plugged in."

RE: Internet Movies Q?
We have only a Verizon hotspot and a Laptop ... we want to watch movies off the internet if we can. None of this stuff on the web sources explains it well enough ...
We're looking for someone that does it in 'real life' to explain it. Only a hotspot and a laptop ... no others devices. Can we do it, or not?
Or does the hotspot use too much 'monthly allotment' to be able to stream or download.
If you use your Verizon data to watch movies you will exceed your monthly data, simple as that.
The other choice would be Redbox for a buck at most corner stores, or increase your data plan which would be about double of what you are paying now just to watch movies.
Google "Any DVD" for creating a travel library.
