Anyone know of a good place to sell a used, but still decent cell phone? 

My friend at work has actually bought his last two cell phones on ebay. I'd suggest that as I know actual people that have purchased used phones through there.

That or Craig's List. Of course, if you don't get what you want for it, consider donating to a women's shelter or another charity like that.

School districts recycle them for free.

Does anyone know of any damn store that sells replacement speakers for a surround sound package?  I have a Yamaha surround system, and the right rear speaker is blown.  It's annoying the crap out of me.  I got it from Best Buy originally, and, of course, they not only don't sell individual speakers, but they also don't even sell that system anymore.

It's a Yamaha Model NS-AP2600S(BL).  The "S" is presumable for "side," and the "BL" is for "morgan."

Crutchfield would be my first guess.  eBay, perhaps.  Have you contacted Yamaha?

Thanks, Wheezer!  Have you ever ordered anything from that site?  Day Man, I did send Yamaha an e-mail the other day, so I'll also see what they say.

No, but they are a large distributor. Definitely verify shipping costs before signing off on anything.

I will.  Thanks, man.  It was driving me nuts trying to find a replacement.

TV Reception question -

I recently moved my satellite receiver to a different television in my house, connecting the coaxial cable directly into what used to be set that had the receiver.  The result was a picture with very slight horizontal lines down the screen, moving upward.  I bought a surge protector with coax protection, but these lines persist.  Any idea on what might be causing it?  My fear is that the cable is crappy (picture on DVD and wii don't have the lines).  Do I demand that dish network come out and fix the coax connection?

Thanks.

Try wiping down the connectors with some alcohol, see if that helps.

You could try not having a piece of shit provider like DISH Network.

I had the same problem with Comcast. 

I'll try cleaning the connectors - thanks.

So let me get this straight: You have a DISH Network receiver with multiple tuners, and the more distant wired set is now exhibiting the interference, although it didn't when it was the less distant set?

Pretty much.  The picture was great when the coaxial cable ran through the receiver.  Now that it goes straight into the television, I get the horizontal lines.

Make sure it's not running across/wrapped around any power cables or power supplies, that can add interference in some cases.

OK. I'm still unclear on the setup, but how many horizontal lines? Do they have any perceptible thickness (height)?

In short, I'm guessing hum bars.
