You have a beautiful spot there. Italian Cypress is the only thing I can think of that will stay that narrow without pruning. You could also put up a wood fence and plant a row of trees in front of it- that would take care of the space limitations. Renee

Yes, it sounds like problem with the HDCP handshake, or device key exchange, that takes place between the source and display device. The most common causes in a generic setup are: poor quality HDMI cables, excessive cable length, and interconnecting the source and display through a home theater AV receiver. There is, however, a history of problems with Motorola STBs (set top boxes), in particular the DCH3416, when switching content between SD and HDTV channels. The problem was addressed in a firmware push to the boxes but may still require some setting changes on the STB. If you have the Motorola STB, you can check the settings as follows: With the STB and TV both turned on, turn off the STB and immediately press the menu button on the front panel. This will bring up a setup menu called User Setting Status. If your television is a 1080i/p 16x9 flat panel, select that in the first two menu items. Next turn "4:3 override" to off - this will maintain 1080i on the HDMI output for both SD and DHTV channels (rather than switching between 480i/p and 1080i). You will have bars on the sides of the screen when viewing SD channels though. This should hopefully solve your problem but sometimes may still require a STB exchange through Comcast.

I'm not sure what you are asking. There are 2 threads now with links to the video, people can see them that way.

Yup. A lot of people (like our paint contractor) thought that is an interior wall (and interior drywall was used in that spot) because it seems to continue almost seamlessly to the inside on other side of glass. The whole area was an addition built (possibly without permit) before we moved in. I swear everything just to the left is glass, followed on the other sides by bug screens.
