    What do I need to hook up me Tosh?

    It depends on the receiver and the outputs. Hopefully it has component outputs since you have a Toshiba. If not then you will probably need an RGB cable with a component adapter. See if you can find out the name and model # and do a search on the internet and try to find out the specs. That is...

    LOTR at a hotel near you?

    I saw it at a Renaissance Hotel in DFW in the middle of May for pay-per-view.

    Stargate SE

    Thanks for the reply Matt. It ticks me off that they made it that way. Maybe I shouldn't get anymore DVD's that say "matted" widescreen. I know this is an older DVD, but is there anymore DVD's that are like this that you can think of? Devin

    Stargate SE

    I didn't know whether to put this in the software section or hardware section but here goes. I have a Toshiba 50H81 and a Pioneer 434 DVD player. The Stargate box says it is a 1.85:1 "matted" widescreen format. While watching the movie it does not look like that is the right aspect ratio, the...

    50H81 scheduled to arrive Thursday!

    Thank you Phil for the numbers....I'll try those settings and see what happens. Are your settings done with your lights on or off or what? Devin

    50H81 scheduled to arrive Thursday!

    It came around 12 noon. Of course I was anxious about it arriving and looking out the window every 30 minutes to see if the delivery truck was pulling in the driveway. Anyway the guys got it in the house and hooked up the tv antenna to do the 9 point convergence. It looks very good out of the...

    How do I get local channels that are not carried by Direct TV?

    You may already know this but it was new to me. The current word is that if you are in an area that DirecTV has locals, when Jan 1, 02 rolls around you should get any other locals that requested Must Carry. I saw this info at avsforum. Devin

    Newbie question about locals and other stuff.

    Bob, Thanks for the reply. Do you know if there is a monthly plan that would include a HD stb(like the DST-3000) from either of the services without having to buy the receiver? I am getting the 50H81 this December and can't afford to buy both at the same time. Thanks, Devin

    Newbie question about locals and other stuff.

    I was wondering a few things: 1. Can a person receive only locals from either Dish or Directv without subscribing to another "package"? 2. Does Directv offer a package where you can pay a monthly fee that includes a STB instead of having to buy one? 3. Can you use a DirecPC dish to receive...

    Toshiba response to DVI/HDCP encryption

    This is not good. I was planning on buying a Toshiba 50H81 this December. I've already had to wait a year due to other circumstances, I really don't want to wait another year. I may have to now.

    Any update on Toshiba 50H81 availability?

    I talked to my local BB and they said they didn't have the tv in yet. They also said that the 18 months no-interest financing applies to the brick and mortar stores only. So you can't buy the tv off the website and expect to get the financing thing. Just my experience. Devin
