Long life and low maintenance are the key points to any successful signage deployment, and you may be aware that deploying outdoor TV boxes has it’s own set of obstacles.
Whilst most current outdoor TV boxes are designed to hold up in the most hostile of environments, there are six elements of deploying indoor or outdoor signage solutions before they commit to the project.
- Vendor – Ensure the vendor you select provides a solid mechanical hardware design that includes minimum downtime with ease of maintenance
- Software- Know what front end software you require and the computer system requirements that the software needs so you can run the application trouble free.
- Integration – Confirm that the back end software can be integrated to meet your needs, ensure it ties up with your business system, encrypt customer data and has some form of security features that prevents hacking. Check if the back end will allow global updates, so you can make multiple changes at one time.
- Installation – Make sure the contract contains installation and start up services that include proper and complete installation services for the outdoor TV box to include power and data connections. Research and find out if the outdoor TV box needs power either delivered from the ceiling, through the wall or from the floor before the installers get to site.
- Monitoring – Remote monitoring should be included that will allow the “heartbeat” of the signage solution to be monitored or pinged form a remote location to immediately report pending problems.
- Service & Support – Ensure the vendor provides service and support within a reasonable time frame, from 4 to 24 hours.
These 6 considerations are set out so that your outdoor TV box deployment projects are a success, god luck.

Help answer the question about TV maintenance
Can anyone tell me about installing satellite TV for a living?I am looking for a job change and now work in warehouse maintenance. Right now I am looking into a job as a satellite TV installer but it almost sounds too good to be true. This guy tells me you can make like 70,000 a year and anyone who can pass a background check is pretty much in. What is the catch?

you need a VGA on your tv
Televisions that used cathode ray tubes (CRT) had a fairly well defined lifespan. This was because CRTs are only a glorified type of thermionic valve (yanks called them "tubes") and the working life of a valve was known almost to the hour. This knowledge was built up over decades of use.
Large (tv size) Plasma and Liquid Crystal Displays have not been around long enough in domestic use for this amount of knowledge base to build up. Any estimates of how long they'll last in domestic conditions (variable ambient temperatures, being switched on/off a lot etc) are only guesses so far. Ask this question again in about 5 or 6 years and you'll have more accurate answers.
Based on laboratory calculations and experience from smaller types of these screens, your domestic tv should be good for 10 years or more. But it's really too soon to make a fair comparison with the CRT sets.
There is nothing you can do to extend this apart from keeping the screen clean, not banging it about and generally being nice to it.
The way that I did this was connecting a 3.5 mm to Dual RCA (red and white) cable to the audio output of my PC to the audio input of the TV.
I did face some audio troubles when I did this, so it might not be a surefire solution, but it does seem to deliver audio from PC to TV.
what i do? i haven’t vga connections on tv?
Your tv is an old CRT rear screen projection, if you really want to try and improve the picture. You can try and get the guns re-aligned. This will however cost money. I am not sure how much it will cost. If you can get into the service menu options, you can re-align the guns yourself.
nice ill try this when ill get one of those plasmas
I plug everything in a whatever.. but then when I change the TV to the PC setting thing, it just goes black and I can’t do anything.. I don’t know what to doooooo
They train you also you can make a lot of money because no one wants to do it, you get paid hourly but also you get paid by how many jobs you do. You have work long hours and go under houses on top of them, but the pay is really good.
Yes, you can. I’ve done this in the past. Your television needs to have the RCA or S-video port, as well as an RCA or S-Video Input mode. The only problem with this is that the output quality for S-video or RCA is simply too poor for today’s quality standard. But yes…you can do this with an “old computer.”
have you found that out coz i cant get the sound off my tv when i plug computer in
You really don't want to mess around inside that projection TV. You should get a technician. Yes, it will cost you about $200, and you may not feel it's worth the investment.
The best thing you can have done is to have the insides cleaned. Your projection TV uses high-intensity CRTs to get the image on your screen. The static-electric on these CRTs attracts dust. And if your in-laws or someone in your home smokes, that smoke will get attracted to the CRTs as well. Have them professionally cleaned and you may be surprised at how bright and crisp your old TV can look. Have him clean the mirror, too (The mirror re-directs the image from the CRTs onto your flat screen).
Most CRTs also have a cooling fluid as part of the lens configuration. Have this fluid changed as well.
Go to your local Electronics store and ask them for the name of a local technician they use to set up or repair TVs. Call the tech and tell him the brand and model of your TV. He will know what kind of servicing it could use to keep it looking new.
LCD suffers from hysteresis. This is the amount of time that it takes for one colour to die away before another colour replaces it. The effect that this causes is a blurring of object edges during picture motion. Plasma does not have this problem.
Plasma has a higher contrast ratio, i.e. the blacks are more black.
LCD uses very little current from the mains. Currently on the market there are LCD TVs that, when used in a dark room, use only 30 Watts of power, less than a light bulb. Plasma uses more power than you can imagine. Most plasma TVs can heat a room.
So, Plasma is better for a decent picture and LCD is better if you want to be able to pay your energy bills.
As it was not installed correctly direct tv would have to had uninstalled then reinstalled to install correctly. Argue the point that they should pay. This has happened through no fault of yours you are not the technician.
where do i download nvidia from plz help….?
