But at particular speeds and with particular windows open the air will switch back and forth attempting to equalize pressures.&nbsp; This causes the pressure to &#39;pop&#39; back and forth.</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000FF"> This bothers my ears kind of like when changing altitudes on high mountains or in airplanes. But this is more irritating because it happens 5 or more times a second. </font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000FF">I usually get this when the back two windows are down and my moon roof is slightly open at around 45mph. So when I crack the front passenger window, it changes the airflow in the cabin and allows the air to flow smoothly in/out.</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000FF">As for the remote, mine is a Dish Network controller, but I suppose your is similar. There are 2 red power buttons.&nbsp; But some have just one.</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000FF">I sometimes hit one of the buttons at the top for &#39;sat&#39; &#39;tv&#39; &#39;vcr&#39; &#39;aux&#39;.&nbsp; Then the power button only controls that selected device.&nbsp; To get it to control the box and tv, you need to hit a combo of &#39;box&#39; and &#39;tv&#39; then press the power button to select both. &nbsp;Hopefully that may fix it.&nbsp; If not, try the troubleshooting section of your cable provider&#39;s website.&nbsp; I&#39;m sure this is a common problem.</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font face="Times New Roman" color="#0000FF"> Good luck</font></div> </blockquote> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"> <font face="Abadi MT Condensed" size="2" color="#FF0000"> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font><blockquote> <p><font color="#000080">From: <br> To: oddtodd7@hotmail.com<br> Subject: zoop zewped<br> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 18:14:59 +0000<br> <br> Todd,<br> &nbsp;<br> Its Zewped down your windows, not zooped<br> &nbsp;<br> </font><a target="_blank" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zewp"> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zewp</a><font color="#000080"><br> <br> Noyeser</font></p> </blockquote> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"><font face="Abadi MT Condensed" size="2" color="#FF0000">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></p> <font color="#800000">Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:07:57 -0700<br> From: <br> Subject: Funlink<br> To: oddtodd7@hotmail.com<br> &nbsp;</font><div style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: 'times new roman','new york',times,serif"> <div> <font color="#800000">Boxhead: The Zombie Wars</font><br> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/boxhead-the-zombie-wars/"> http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/boxhead-the-zombie-wars/</a></div> </div> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify"> <font face="Abadi MT Condensed" size="2" color="#000080">-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</font></p> <blockquote> <font color="#000080">From: <br> To: oddtodd7@hotmail.com<br> Subject: Remote controls<br> Date: Mon, 17 Mar 2008 11:13:51 -0500</font><div class="EC_Section1"> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="#000080">Hey Todd,</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="#000080">My mom had a similar problem like yours, if she wanted to watch a movie it required at least 3 different remotes to turn everything on, play the movie and turn everything off again, same with the satellite dish. I heard of these fancy schmancy remotes that you can set up and program on your computer, where if you want to watch a dvd, you push ONE button and it turns everything on and sets it up so you can watch a movie (it even pushes play for you!!). Wanna watch the dish after the movie, push ONE button marked watch dish, and it turns everything on and sets it up so you can watch the dish. Wanna turn everything off, push the OFF button and everything turns off. Its super coolio!!!!! The remote is so easy to set up initially that any technically challenged person can do it. I got one for my mom and she loves the thing. They are a bit pricey, but once you get it programmed for your stuff, you won t be going mental any more so it s worth it. &nbsp;Here s a link, check it out.</font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-2071307-4880755?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=harmony+remotes&x=0&y=0"> http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_ss_gw/104-2071307-4880755?url=search-alias%3Daps&amp;field-keywords=harmony+remotes&amp;x=0&amp;y=0</a><font color="#000080"> </font></p> <p class="EC_MsoNormal"><font color="#000080">P.S.
