RE: entry door replacement glass
Could always go to Lowe's or HD and get a piece of plexiglass and cut to fit.
X2. Or Lexan. Much more impact resistant.

RE: Bypass Houston
If you don't like TX-105, you could take Beltway 8 (Sam Houston Tollway) north from I-10 to I-45. It's a no-cash tollway, meaning you have to have a toll tag or use the free feeder roads that parallel the tollway.
Tollway website for that road segment.
I use our NYS Thruway's EZ-pass tag. I wonder if that would work in TX?
Sorry, the EZ-Pass won't work.

RE: Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
It's a puzzle why a simple A/B switch won't work??? But about the only way to get directly from antenna to HDMI is an external tuner, which can be purchase for about $100. KWorld at Amazon
Yes, it is a puzzle. The TV requires that I go thru the setup process every time I flip the switch.
The Kworld unit would work but has terrible reviews. The Channel Master CM-7001 still looks like the best solution.
Thanks to all!

RE: texarkana to victoria tx
US-59 is generally good road. There are a number of towns and stops, but it's not bad.
The best thing to do about Houston is check Houston Transtar for real-time traffic info so you know when to go through. Beltway 8 is a good choice (except rush hours) but you'll go through four toll booths. Don't know what that will cost.

RE: Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
I know this does not address your exact question but if you would be willing to go the HD component input route you can get an older model DirecTV receiver that can be used without a subscription. The one I have is an old Samsung SIR-T151. They come up on Ebay at times.
Great idea! However, I don't have an available component (or composite) input either. It's gotta be HDMI. It's a new Panasonic with one coax input, one component or composite input, two USB inputs and four HDMI inputs.

RE: Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
The only other reason I can think of is if you are using the RF input (Antenna in jack) for something else, and a simple A/B switch can take care of that, cost a dollar at the Google store plus S*H.
As I noted in my prior response, a simple A/B coax switch won't work.

RE: telescopic ladders
My employer outlawed TeleSteps ladders due to the number of accidents. Xtend & Climb is a better choice.

RE: Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
Is the problem that you are already using the tv's antenna port?
Would a cheap antenna selector switch do the job? (A fancy one would have remote control.)
Yes, that's the problem. But you can't simply switch inputs and have it work. The TV needs to do a channel scan.

RE: Campgrounds Around Mobile, AL
I just spent a few days at Blakeley State Park north of Spanish Fort. Large, pull-through, very private sites. All are FHU.

RE: Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but the Channel Master CM-7001 accepts atsc or Clear QAM digital and outputs HDMI HD and analog SD. HD converter boxes are pretty rare, but available. You won't find them for $40 though :).
That appears to be exactly what I need. About $130 (ouch!)
Thanks!

Antenna to HDMI Conversion?
I'd like to connect an antenna to an HDMI input on my TV. Digital to analog converters aren't right for the application. I need a digital (coax) to digital (HDMI). I don't have an available coax input for the antenna.
Any ideas?

RE: I-75 over night campground
There are two just off I-75 exit 76 at Berea, KY; Oh Kentucky on the right and Walnut Meadow on the left. There's a Walmart just across I-75 if needed.

RE: QUESTION: How much weight will a 4" tube bumber pull/hold?
It's not that it won't hold the weight when you're sitting in the driveway. The problem is when you're going down the road and the rear end is bouncing up and down the shock loads will eventually tear the bumper off.

RE: I-10 West through Houston
The I-10 construction is complete. Still, you should go through at non-rush hour times.
For real time traffic conditions go to Houston Transtar. You can use this site to see what times are best.

RE: Coolant Mixture
You can use concentrate, but final ratio must be 50/50 coolant/distilled water.
They just don't want you running 100% coolant.
So what does one do in a climate that gets to -40' regularily in the winter?
Move to a warmer climate? :C

RE: Propane tank recertification grumble
Re-certified tanks are only good for 5 years and then have to be re-certified. Why bother? get new tanks and be done with it.
Maybe because some of us are not made of money. It cost me nothing to have my tanks re-certified a couple of years ago, where can I get new 30lb tanks for the same price?
How / where did you get it done for nothing? I've got two tanks that need it, but they're not empty yet.
