I find myself working from a place where there is a tv nearby and unfortunately, the channel was set to kiss tv and the channel buttons super glued... Once every few minutes, the signal seems to get lost, then they show those green, white, black and yellow bars, and displayed there is "Soloist HD Pro". I googled it and came across this site http://www.adtecinc.com/products/Soloist-HDPro/index.html thought i cant make heads or tails of the description there. Someone care to offer a laymans explanation?
