    what type of switcher/hookups are best for set up i have

    I use the cheap Rectocon S-video/Composite switcher for Component switching and its works just fine. Hell, I use Composite Red/White/Yellow as my Component cables on my XBOX and HD receiver. If there is a picture quality difference, I can't notice it.

    I have the Hitachi 65TWX20B, what should i get ? the X-box or PS2

    Good Choice! I own both systems and leave my PS2 hooked up in my guest room on my 27" tube and have my XBOX on my HDTV. IMO, no comparision in picture quality!

    GC to buy or not to buy

    I think the best deal right now is to have CC pricematch the Toys-R-Us Bundle which includes SM Sunshine, Scooby Doo, Extra Controller and a Memory Card for $199. CC will give you 10% of the difference and you will get the $20 GC for Metroid. If you use your charm you may even be able to get...

    I received this set last week from playcentric for ~$58 shipped, ordered it the previous week. No problems. Great set for under $60.

    Is there a cheaper Nightmare on Elmstr collection on the way?

    You can get it at Amazon's Canadian website for around $56 shipped or at playcentric.com for ~$58 shipped with the appropriate coupons. I just received mine last week from playcentric, which is an awesome deal IMO.

    WTB: Sony Dolby Digital DSS Receiver

    Call around to different Best Buys. Also check Circuit City. This was at the Best Buy, Northpoint Mall north of Atlanta. I want to say they were marked $199 and they were Silver. But, that doesn't mean that is what they will ring up for. Good Luck!

    Question concerning DTV Reciever

    Some of the receivers, especially the older ones, let you "Delete History." Read your receiver's owner's manual. If not ask DirecTV to delete it.

    Getting OTA digital in a "difficult" area

    Mark, let us know how that CM 4 bay bowtie works for you. I had no luck with that thing no matter where I mounted it. I had to order a Blonder Tongue which costed me a nickel! :)

    100 DVD's $11.00 each

    I sent him an e-mail right after his post and never heard back. After past experiences, I'm always leary of these mass sell offs. That is why I requested e-bay verification or something similar. They also must have an established PAYPAL account.

    HDTV setup question

    Mark, I would hold off on the componet switcher for now. There are no HD XBOX games available right now, only some @ 480p. I'm not 100% sure, but I think it will be a while before 1080i games will be available. Just hook your XBOX up to one of the componet inputs. Also, I don't own a Mits...

    Can't get regular local stations, does that mean I can't get OTA HD too?

    Conrad, unfortunately picking up Digital OTA reception is trial and error. I live 40 miles from the Atlanta Towers and spent alot of time trying different antennas, antenna locations, etc. and I still have only obtained marginally good success. I would suggest borrowing a HD receiver from a...

    Can't get regular local stations, does that mean I can't get OTA HD too?

    You have to lock in the digital signal before it will display. However, while you are watching a program you can experience pixelation or complete signal dropout if the locked signal is weak or certain atmospheric conditions such as wind, rain, etc. start affecting the signal. They fact that...

    screen format on digital broadcasts (when to use anamorphic squeeze)

    www.hdtvgalaxy.com does a pretty good job listing what is showing in HD & ED (Fox). I would guess Chicago is pretty typical with the other major cities. [Edited last by Brian Mello on November 09, 2001 at 07:10 AM]

    screen format on digital broadcasts (when to use anamorphic squeeze)

    I can't answer your question about Chicago. Its up to your local affiliates to pass the signal. Check avsforum.com for more info concerning Chicago. Fox does broadcast certain shows in 16X9 480p (Boston Public, X-Files, Dark Angel, Ally McBeal, 24, Titus to name a few). This is there version...

    screen format on digital broadcasts (when to use anamorphic squeeze)

    What TV do you have? I'll take a stab at this but I think you will only benefit from the "16x9 enhanced mode" while viewing Anamorphic DVDs or "16x9" 480p/1080i broadcasts. NBC broadcasts the West Wing and ER in "Letterboxed" Standard Definition Format (Basically the 16x9 image matted on a...
