My father has a old Panasonic HDTV (52″ rear projectoin) that is in serious need of calibration and a checkup. THe picture is not very good and its colours are off in a way I cannot seem to fix myself. The + alignment thing says all colours are on target. He is going to replace [...]

After all the saving and wishing and hoping and setbacks etc, I am finally the owner of a HDTV. My folks got theirs last xmas, so I am just following suit. I opted for the Sony KDFE42A10. Partly because of its sparkling reviews, features and capabilities, partly because it has the built in ATSC tuner. [...]

I realize this really isnt a HD question, but I hoped maybe someone here could point me in the right direction. My brother has a friend in Russia who recently purchased a satellite dish that recieves free to air signals. (KU probably). So my brother is now interested in seeing if maybe he can also [...]

Hey all, I have a question that I have yet to find an answer for. I have always run my misc video sources thru my stereo reciever and then that outputs into my TV’s single SVideo input. Is this also the case with HDTV and component video sources?

I know most if not all of you are stinking filthy rich and can afford pricey hardware to view HDTV on your giant wide flat screens with 700″ diagonal screens. But the rest of us are on real budgets and cannot afford to plunk down $2000-$15000 for this stuff. (I know you aren’t all rich, [...]

Sounds like some good and some bad stuff coming our way… This article talks about how Tivo got the OK to share content wiht other users in your group. But it also mentions government regulation on digital content sharing. Wonder how this will affect HD content in particular.

Hey all, I am considering a HD card for my PC to play with the HDTV stuff now. I can’t spend $300 for a new nice card, so I was thinking I’d try and find a used one in the $150 range… or maybe work a trade with someone for some graphic design services or [...]

There are other HD options for the PC but this is one that I personally would trust, since ATI has such a great reputation. The idea of being able to PVR/DVD HD programming will be nice. And for those of us who don’t yet have a HD TV, it’s sure to be an affordable option [...]

The article discusses the new HD TiVos and the problems they will bring including pirating and copy protection, as well as basic converage of some of the units available.

Where can I go locally and get a solid education on HDTV as well as see it in action, preferably from OTA, COX and DirecTV? I’ve watched some bits and pieces at CC by me here (41st ST) but I’d like to see what is available and get more info on the diff resolutions etc [...]

In Tulsa… Already have the antenna… I currently do not own a HD capable TV. However I have been considering picking up a HD box like the $300 Samsung so I can get better quality picture and sound (Stereo on FOX and UPN, yea!) to tide me over until I can afford the TV. I [...]
