Mark, I own the 53xbr300, and just bought a 53hs10 for my parents. Abdul has a point about Sony: some hs10/xbr300 had a geometry problem where the image in 16:9 mode was over-squeezed. I fixed my problem usinmg service mode adjustments. Also, my xbr300 has a problem with a flashing picture...

I suggest you look at the 4x3 Sony 53hs10... they've come down to about $2000 since they are getting replaced by the hs20 and hs30 models. They are one of the better sets for dvd/dss/cable signals. Offers the vertical squeeze for anamorphic dvds too. One thing to consider: if you are setting...

I have TWC. Sure, I have to admit that the analog cable channels are inferior to DTV, but the TWC digital channels are superior to DTV on my set (53xbr300), in my opinion. But here is why I am really following up: When I called DTV to cancel, I complained about HBO being "not sharp" compared...

Well, I had DirecTV for 18 months, and just switched to TWC Digital Cable. Here is why: I can get basic Digital for 31/month + 3 movie packages for a total of 50/month. These prices are for sat subscribers that swith to TWC. Currect DTV total choice HBO/Starz + local channels ran 58/month...

Roy C. make a good point with respect to price, i.e. comparing appples to apples. In general, its extremely difficult to compare satellite to digital cable prices, mainly because digital cable offers the FREE analog cables to the rest of the home, whereas with satellite, you'll need many more...

I purchased a 4:3 with the squeeze. Most of my viewing was 4:3 material, with 10% DVD. Of course, 16:9 had the stretch and zoom modes. Stretch is really bad. Zoom cuts off the top and botton of the screen. Before making my final decision, I created my own black bars made from paper, and...

I had Time Warner Digital cable (Orlando, FL) for 3 months, and had (still have, in fact) DirecTV for 18 months. I can honestly say that DirecTV quality and price really is better than TW Digital cable. Part of the problem was that the majority of TW's Digital Cable was plain 'ol analog. Only...

Wondering which my be a better buy for me: rca (or proscan)dct-100, dst-3000, or the tu-hds20. mail order prices show the dct-100 at 450, and the other two are at around 680. Are the tosh and pani that must better to justify the additional $200 cost? Naturally, the cheaper, the better. What...

I have an xbr300, and I am doing the kabooke dance with circuit city tech. He too has to notify sony tech support for my problem. I assume you have their extended warranty - ESP. I suggest you push hard to have the set removed ASAP. If they have the set longer than 7 days, you'll get a...
