Bronze Member Username: VindslPost Number: 45 Registered: Jul-04 | All depends... Generally speaking, the best would be a DVI or HDMI connection, but this isn't always true. Personally, I don't worry about DVI any more. I just use component. Anyway, in order of picture quality, DVI / HDMI - Component - S-video - Composite. However, like I said, it all depends. Sometimes composite will look better than s-video, and sometimes component will look better than DVI. I suggest trying them all. Whatever looks best, is best... LoL! How's that for a non-answer answer? |

Unregistered guest | If you have a blank screen with a red key on the bottom left, simply press the (function or F) button and the mute button at the same time. This will unlock the screen and allow you to view the channel as desired. • If your TV asks for a 4-digit code or password please enter 3308 or 6688 to unlock the screen or reset any preset rating levels. • If you have a GT2011J or GT2011S Television, hold the (Display) button for 10 seconds, it will unlock the screen. If password or code is requested, try 3308 or 6688. |

Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 426 Registered: Feb-05 | Good picture, yes. Probably noticeably better than composite connection. You did not indicate whether your satellite receiver is HD. If it is, component, DVD or HDMI (depending on type of tv in jacks) would be better still. |
|
Silver Member Username: DmwileyPost Number: 427 Registered: Feb-05 | Oops. should have read "component, DVI or HDMI". One day I will learn to type. |

GS Unregistered guest | I have an Apex model GB4308 and if i watch it for more then 2 hours, the screen gets really dark. If i turn it off and turn it back on it works fine for a few mins and then gets dark again. Does anybody knows why this happens?? Thanks |

Unregistered guest | Apex TV, I hit my remote control in the dark accidently and now the tv is switching from video 1 to 2 to vhs to dvd every couple minutes or so, constantly, can't make it stay on video 1 which is what I need, have unplugged it a couple of times, didn't help, and tried all the buttons on the remote, I don't know which model it is and can't find my book, any help, thanks. |

davidjnj Unregistered guest | I have an Apex tv (not sure which model) and the remote control is no longer working. Pressing the buttons, I can see that the red light comes on, but none of the functions operate the tv. Any suggestions? Thanks. |

Gold Member Username: Paul_ohstbucksPost Number: 1097 Registered: Jan-05 | Buy a $10 programmable remote that will operate the Apex. If that doesnt work, then you'll know your TV sensor is bad. |
|
Anonymous | hey .. had same problem found this info if you have remote you can disable it by pressing the F button at same time as mute button .. this is i think temporary. If it asks for passcode input 6688 or 3308 one of those may help. if either of those codes work. turn off the parental code function |
|

HCS Unregistered guest | For all of you that have locks on your Apex TV's, try toekneec's advice if you haven't already. It's the fifth post on this page. My TV was blocking a bunch of channels, so I punched in 6688 at the password screen and it fixed it right up. And if you're still here toekneec, thanks a lot. |

Unregistered guest | I HAVE A 27" TV AND LOCKED UP,IT HAS A RED KEY ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE SCREEN PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO UNLOCK IT |
|
Anonymous | You can fix the problem like this: Unplug your TV, go to local pawn shop, sell your TV, take the money to walmart, buy another TV, and plug it in. If this doesnt fix your problem, look outside your window and check if you see red keys outside too. It might be a tumor. |

Anonymous | Cable experts, please help me out with this question. I have very basic cable with Comcast in the Pittsburgh, PA area. (Home of Big Ben). My question to you is, I pay for basic: channels 2 thru 24 then 64, 72, and the wheather scanner. All of this comes over on the old fashion A-B Switch. The cable on the bedroom TV runs through the VCR with the above channels but very fuzzy from channel 25 to 63 but the channels can be viewed with some clearity. Is there any way to bring these channels out just a bit more clearly without the hassle of having to up-grade to extend basic. Not looking to steal, just wanted to know if these channels can be cleared up some how. The family room TV those channels are just a big cloud of smoke. The bedroom TV those same channels have some clearity to them. Just trying to make use of a good thing. P.S. I had basic cable now for 13 years, not planning to change or up grade. Just want to know how can I bring in the channels that come in slightly unclear. Black Ice |

fx Unregistered guest | Allow your child to explore the real world, sex, violence and grugs on TV are better than doing them in real life.

Desperate N Phoenix Unregistered guest | APEX GB5108 - Worked great for 2 years. Then, while I was watching, picture diminished to wavey horizontal red, green and blue lines across the screen. Thought it was toast, so turned it off. Came back hours later, worked fine.. for about 2 days. Did it again. Later, worked for short time, then happened again and has not come back yet. (Been weeks!) I just tried again for kicks. I have attached a simple bitmap drawing in case I am not clear on the problem description. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! |
