As I have mentioned in some of the other threads, I will be soon in the market for buying a new TV. Panny it will be and still deciding between 60" or 65". if 60, I will go with GT30. If 65" I definitely like the VT30 model. Considering my wallet size and desire to get VT30 and wait if needed...

OK BDT310 it is. getting it delivered for 170 from an Amazon associate. Kumar.

In the next few months, I will have to replace my 55" Sony RPTV with a new one. How much ever I love the PQ that gets reproduced it is starting to show it's age and maintenance is getting expensive. I am pretty much zeroed on Panasonic Plasma. I am leaning towards VT30 read great reviews, but I...

I got this mygiCA from Amazon. Turns out to be crappy product, or I don;t know to use it. Crappy documentation on that. I am going to return it. I connected my cable to ANT IN, then using DVI to DVI I connected my TV. I went into their menu->channel->antenna and chose cable (instead of...

I ordered a standalone ATSC/QAM tuner from Amazon. expecting it next week. I will play around and check if this would fix things on my TV.

OK, this is what I did so far. I did take a split on the homerun. one goes to cable modem and the other goes to another splitter/amplifier which sends signal to my computer and the other to my TWC HD DVR. Cable works fine, internet works fine, Vista MC is not fine. I connected to the...

This is very helpful Matt and Joe. I will play around and check tonight. I have Vista and roadrunner, so I am guessing MC should work in that as well. I don't have a cable run to the tuner, however have a wired Ethernet. I hope I can still get the "basic" (70+ ) channels or is there anything...

Here's my dilemma. I have been a TWC cusomter for over couple of decades now. You can imagine how much I must have paid them thus far. :) Increasing cost is killing me! I decided to pull the plug and go with SAT with one of their promo deals. Though it may help in the short-run, again in...

I have almost a similar set up. Except instead of Laptop, I use my desktop. I run a HDMI to DVI, and from audio out on my desktop to RCA on my Sony RPTV. Works great! I even send audio out to my AVR and listen from my speakers. I have a similar cable to what you have posted and I bought...

Thanks Greg, I will call a local repair guy. I hope he does a good job. If anyone know of a good repair technician in the Raleigh-Durham area that will be great. After fixing this, I would like to get it calibrated as well. I think I can extract a lot of juice from this TV. I always...

My lovely 57" Sony RPTV (7 years old) is throwing some convergence issue. For the last week or so I see blue separated by at least 1/2 to 1 inch. I can see that clearly when there is a white text (appears as blue and yellow). First I did auto flash and then entered into manual convergence...

Great suggestions from all. Thanks a ton! Alon, I have a HK 7200 hooked on to sweet sounding B&W 604 series. I have a 8 year old Sony DVD player which is starting to show sign of old age. I am thinking of upgrading to a Blu-Ray and a CD player. Marantz was one of them I was...

Anyone still uses a separate CD Player ? If yes, what are the advantages and what features should I look for if I have to buy one. apart from price and space, what are the tradeoffs in buying the integrated DVD/CD player. If you can recommend a few that would be even better Thanks Kumar.

Talking out a friend of buying a 500 bucks CD player advertised in nice catalogs like H&S, S Image, etc. He lives in an apartment and mainly need a good speakers to play his Sony CD Player. (Today he uses computer speakers to listen to it). My suggestion was to purchase a HTIB or just a Stereo...

Yes the box has Coaxial. I have to try if it would do both HDMI and Coaxial at the same time. Let me check this. Meanwhile, anyone has this combination of AVR and Speaker? how do they sound together?
