    Did I make a mistake buying a 4:3 HDTV set?

    I guess I should clarify... 4:3 vs. 16:9 His set is not HDTV compatible. My point was that overall picture quality is better on my set vs. a regular mitsu set. I'm just trying to make myself feel better at the extra dough I spent... =D

    Did I make a mistake buying a 4:3 HDTV set?

    After reading the threads, I am wondering now if I made a mistake buying my 50" 4:3 Mitsu HDTV. I do notice improved picture quality over my friend's regular 50" Mitsu, but with respect to HDTV programming it seems there are no advantages; in fact it seems I made the incorrect choice. So as...

    Mitsubishi Promise Module for HD-ready TVs

    I concur w/ Dave; being a recent receipent of a Tivo and owner of a Mitsu I am very very disappointed w/ Mitsubishi regarding this issue. I am planning to write them a formal letter expressing my discontent.

    TIVO versus Replay

    Hi all: After 1 week with a replay 5080 and tivo series 2 80 hour, i've finally made my decision: sony svr-3000 =) I probably would have stuck w/ the Tivo; however I found a good deal on the sony and in my readings found the sony form factor should make it easier to upgrade in the...

    Cable Tv amplifiers/boosters?

    Update: I did try the RS 29.99 amplifier and it made a significant difference. It was most noticable on my TV card for my PC (channels 2 and 3 were unwatchable before). Unfortunately, it was not as noticable a difference on my main family room TV. I'm debating the addition of another amp...

    Cable Tv amplifiers/boosters?

    Thanks for all your feedback! I picked up a RS one (29.99) and have not installed yet. I found a heck of a deal on the Motorola one: http://www.provantage.com/scripts/go.dll/-s/fp_72078 I may go buy the one at Circuit City and test it out while I wait for this one in the mail... I'll...

    Cable Tv amplifiers/boosters?

    Thanks all! I'll go ahead and start testing myself. Our area is going through a cable change (Comcast from AT&T) and wanted to wait till that hashes out... I am using a Monster Cable 2ghz splitter, non amped. I did buy one of the 1:4 way amped splitters but is logistically difficult to...

    TIVO versus Replay

    I have not tried S-Video to S-Video yet (i'm too cheap to buy $50.00 S-video cables from Goodguys and am waiting for my order from pts xpress, hehe). I am going to try that this weekend. But what's odd is the color saturation seemed really off on replay. I double checked the component video...

    Cable Tv amplifiers/boosters?

    Hi: I have basic TV split 4 ways in my home and figured a signal booster might help improve the picture quality (currently I get a couple bad channels; this is magnified w/ the TIVO too). I've seen the radio shack ones but wanted personal opinions on how they've worked. I was going to pick...

    TIVO versus Replay

    I also am in the tivo/replay debate. I purchased a tivo last week and love the functionality but am unhappy w/ the picture quality. I plan to pick up a replay tomorrow and do a comparison between the two. Unfortunately I have only 1 week to make this comparision as tivo raises their lifetime...
