    Is your Saturday Masters in HD?

    are the commentaries matched up with the visuals? it seems like the SD broadcast is on different holes than the HD... if they get in sync, i will switch to the local CBS radio simulcast. ------------------ My HT Pics

    HDTV and your friendly cable monopoly

    thankfully, my experience with the cable company (TWC) has been different... here in orlando, they seem very committed to bringing as much HD content as possible as soon as possible... they even went so far as to get the CBS HD feed before the local affiliate even had its transmitters up. TWC...

    no interest in HD movies from the OTA networks...

    even if there wasn't the annoyance of all the commercial interupts (that are usually not HD), i still don't want to watch movies on the broadcast networks because they are censored for language & content... the problem is . . . the picture is just so damn good - it's hard not to watch!

    WOW! You guys weren't BSing. One of the best tweaks I have ever implemented.

    brian - you can get black foam core at any art supply store. i got a 30"x40" piece for under $7. i cut the mattes to size with a matte cutter, and i attached the mattes to the television with velcro. very easy - very effective. good luck!

    WOW! You guys weren't BSing. One of the best tweaks I have ever implemented.

    another BIG believer in mattes... i have a 16:9 set, and i recently made mattes for watching 4:3 material. i just do not like some programming in stretch modes - especially sporting events. the mattes have made all the difference in the world. mine are made out of black foam core with...
