Thanks Bob . I have an HDTV with a direct TV receiver (non HD) and TIVO unit. Can get a few local HD stations off of the air , for free. But want to get the...
I own a HDTV, and I need to learn alot about it, I was wondering why I can not hook up the coaxel cable from my satilite and have channels come through, right...
Is yours an HD monitor? As I understand things, you have to have a signal source and a tuner, whether that tuner is in the HDTV itself or is in the form of a...
If you want the best HD experience, dump Direct and get dish. Dish offers the most true 720p & 1080i. A lot of so called HD programming is only digitized...
Hi Me (snowbound)! A DirecTV HD DVR is probably a sound option, but be careful which model you get. At the moment the only HD DVR really supported by DirecTV...
Hi Don! It depends on which coaxial cable you mean. If you're talking about the RF output from your satellite receiver box, you're better off sticking with...
I don't know if you are talking to me, but I have a 21 inch flat panel LCD HDTV, and I have a directv plus receiver, not a HD receiver. MR.BURSE DLOVELL3 ... ...
Thanks, thats the answer I have been looking for, and as far as Directv and Tivo, I just got a card in the mail about 2 weeks ago, and it seems that Directv...
Bill (W8KIR), Thanks for the tip on Dish, I have read that DirecTV has been criticized for using 1280 x 1080 (anamorphic) pixels instead of true 1920 x 1080...
Some of us just have TV's and some of you out there have full fledged home theaters! Whatever your setup, you can use the Photos link on the left to share ...
That's the biggest thing holding me up right now. Format Wars! A long time ago... In an electronics store far, far away... I bet a lot of people are waiting...
Now I know a lot of people don't think of this as a sport, but it IS on ESPN... Just saw some poker in HD. Wow... maybe it's just because of the amount of...
Not everything is broadcast in HD. (At least not yet) If you were in charge, what programming would you make next on the list to be broadcast in HD? I find the...
It just goes to prove my point that ANYTHING is better in high-def... it's not just for action movies, football and nature shows. I've heard people say stuff...
While I certainly want the best picture I can get, things like the nightly news, or say a business network with a stock ticker aren't high on my "must have HD"...
Hmm... I must be really out of step Brian. I do most of my TV watching, as now, while checking email and doing other chores on the computer (running Windows...
Thanks all for the posts. Wanted to kind get a sample of what service do you think is best in terms of picture quality (HD) customer satisfaction, price,. I...
I've often considered a TV tuner for my computer since I'm online so much (I've worked online from home for about 15 years now) and my 19" monitor gives me...
I'll probably wind up getting my HD signal through my cable company. A lot of folks may think they're not responsive to customers at times, but at least...
Also, in areas with the most up-to-date cable system buildouts, the picture quality, especially on non-HD sources is far, far better than the satellite...
For me, as well, it's primarily about the computer. Some TV, some news in the evening, but it doesn't all have to be the highest quality. Same goes for my...
Hi Bob, Verizon's FIOS service is my most likely alternative to Satellite. But that's mostly bias on my part because I've been happy enough with Verizon as an...
In comparing HD services part of the problem is that most people have a natural bias for the product they are using, few have used more than one or two, and...
There certainly are a lot of choices and things to consider. I think that's part of the reason I haven't pulled the trigger on an HDTV yet. I'm waiting for...
