    Integra Research RDC-7.1 ..............

    Hi, anyone have any updates on a possible release date, or better yet any dealer sightings? What about a dealer in western Canada, preferably in Alberta? All i see on IR's website is Ontario.....generally speaking could any Onkyo dealer order from the Integra / Integra-Research lines or is this...

    Western Canada HDTV via Shaw Cable w/ DCT5100, anyone?

    Roger that, i'll have to check a couple big box stores and see....i noticed they opened 2 Best-Buy stores in Edmonton just now......according to the channel line-up they got on the guide now, i believe 5 channels: an HD-mix, HD-PBS, and then ABC/NBC/CBS in HD....and then obviously only a small...

    Western Canada HDTV via Shaw Cable w/ DCT5100, anyone?

    That's a good question Ken......without knowing a whole helluva a lot about it, my guess is the dct5100 might be a necessity and there may not be freedom to use a completely different model ( i recall reading some sort of Motorola News-Release somewhere speaking about the contract with Shaw...

    Western Canada HDTV via Shaw Cable w/ DCT5100, anyone?

    Hi Folks, i noticed Shaw Cable in Edmonton is rolling out 5 channels of HDTV.....i would assume broadcast is very close as they've restructured the channel lineup complete with guide information, if it hasn't started already......my questions are regarding the Motorola DCT 5100 box Shaw wants an...

    What's more important to you, 480p or 16:9?

    ...are PS2 video games with a '480p' output option actually 'mastered' as 480p or have these titles simply enabled somesort of 'downstream upconversion' inside PS2 from 480i to 480p...obviously i don't understand enough about how video games are produced...but my assumption was that the PS2 was...

    What's more important to you, 480p or 16:9?

    Well i guess it depends on what type of set you have........i can't imagine anyone with a 16:9 set wanting a 480p output first and no 'windowbox' bars second, maybe it's just me. Plus most (all?) 16:9 sets have a line-doubler anyways no? My set takes 480i and ups it to 960i which can be...

    PS2 Socom 16x9 ?

    Hi, does this title have a 16x9 mode? I understand it has a 480p output....i haven't been keeping up with things on PS2 lately..many games have a 480p option now? thx.

    Just played GT3...WOW!

    Chad, whatever you're smokin' guy i want some! :) Do you, or do you not understand these statements...... GT3 has true 16:9 support. GT3 is designed to be played on a 4:3. GT3 is also designed to be played on a 16:9. GT3 on a 16:9 shows you more lateral info, i hate to break it to you...

    GT3 comes out soon

    ....how can you be dissapointed before the game is even out and in your hands?? It is a racing sim, people that buy it, want a racing/driving sim....the graphics are far improved from GT-2 and that in itself would be enough. It also has true widescreen support, also with side-by-side two...

    Just got a KP-57XBR10W (Sony 57" 16:9), need advice..

    Brian i have the 65xbr, definitely run avia right away and get the user adjustments set in the ballpark..... particularly the contrast. AFAIK, any and all RPTV, including the widescreen xbr, are susceptible to burn-in. But as long as things are setup reasonably , and you use a bit of...

    Picture tube problems w/ the new sony kv36xbr400

    As far as the set being 'topheavy', a flat screen requires very large thickness to withstand the vacuum, hence the front heavy weight. I have a 5 yr old 32xbr, while not flatscreen, but cylindrical screen and even it is extremely front heavy, and yes it has a defacto Sony stand with safety...
