I just watched my Pulp Fiction dvd for the first time on my 30" widescreen HDTV. It looked absolutely horrible. Picture quality sucks and people still looked stretched even though it is a widescreen dvd. My tv and dvd player are set up correctly to widescreen and every other dvd looks fine (i...

See I look at it in a different light. They might seem like just stupid kiddie games but those kiddie games on Gamecube are more fun than half the "mature" games on any other system. Mario Kart is one of the most fun multiplayer games out there...period. Kiddie games seem dumb but I keep in mind...

I would doubt they will drop the price again on the GC since it is already the same price as the gameboy sp. But one awsome reason I think to get a gamecube is the fact that the Gamecube is the only system with an officially licensed wireless controller that kicks butt. 2 batteries last over 100...

This question may have been addressed but I don't have time to read 9 pages of thread so I will ask. To my knowledge there is no possible way to screen burn an LCD projection tv. Now I work at Circuit City and a customer came in today saying his Sony kf50we610 has the channel 7(abc) logo burned...

yep, I did everything you said dave. I got the hdtv, w/ hd av pack and turned on 480p and 1080i in dashboard. my component inputs can do an interlaced signal so i can still see the dashboard. so then here's a question: If I am playing Enter the Matrix(which supports both 480P and 1080I)...will...

I just bought xbox and have rainbow six 3 which supports 480P. I told my xbox my tv will support 480P and 1080I in the dashboard. But how do I make sure I am running 480P during the game? With my PS2 I have to change to progressive inside the game settings. But in rainbow six I could not find...

I am very glad the channels are back. Only gone for 36 hrs. I feel sorry for all the people who canceled service and paid money for another. I was tempted to do the same but I figured there would be no way these channels would be gone for long. It would hurt Dish Network too much. I am assuming...

I am enraged by this black out as well. I just got this system installed last month for HD. Now i'm stuck in a year contract and I cannot get CBS since my antenna can't pick up their crappy signal here in IL. I cannot imagine this being a forever thing. As stated before it would not be in dish...

cj, how is the picture quality? do games look as good as on the pc monitor? or at least better than ps2?

ok i kinda answered my own question. the cablesamerica site said it will not work connected to a pc. but I did find that ATI does offer a component video cable adapter for display on any hd capable tv. does anyone have this and if so is it worth a try? also if anyone knows if i can have both my...

I want to be able to display my pc picture (for pc games) on my samsung 30" widescreen tube hdtv. I am using an ATI radeon 9700 pro all-in-wonder. My graphics card does have s-video out but it looks horrible on my tv. and i know to use dvi you need a display like plasma or lcd. My tv only has...

sorry my mistake. they carry the 701

This is the 6 disc changer that is all digital right? Check out Circuit City. I'm pretty sure they carry it

if you are interested in dishnetwork. go to vmcsatellite.com and they will install 4 rooms, up to 2 HD boxes, and as many dvrs as you want for free! I just did this about 2 weeks ago. got 1 hd box and 1 dvr.

I am sure my tv does not do this. I just got dishnetwork HD installed and the HD box came configured in 720p out of the box and I got a double image that flashed green. I had to change the output to 1080i before I got a correct picture.

is there a way to take xbox games that are presented in 720p and convert it to 1080i? My tv does not support 720p but I notice that there are several games for xbox in this format and only maybe 1 or 2 in 1080i.

I took a look on titantv.com and found the actual digital channel listings you were talking about dave, all channels are on the uhf band except for cbs, which is digital channel 3. I love CSI so this is a problem. Is there any possible way to hook up 2 antennas at the same time to my HD box? If...

Thanks for the info, but isn't the silver sensor only a UHF antenna? meaning I won't pick up VHF signals, which are all the lower channel numbers? here in IL cbs is channel 2, nbc channel 5, etc. Also, I work at Circuit City and we once had a Terk TV5 antenna hooked up to our tv's and it gave...

I live in an apartment in wheaton, IL. I am having dish network installers coming tomorrow to hook up HD. I'm trying out an RCA $70 indoor antenna i bought to get my locals. I can't seem to find anyplace in the room where I can get a good signal. Are there any other indoor antennas to try that...

I have just learned about the Vinc Bravo D1 hd upgradable dvd player that will output 1080i with component cables. I'm wondering if this player is really worth anything because the pricetag is nice ($200). also would I see a big difference between this player and my pioneer dv-563a watching it...

and if anyone is wondering I think all the charge is to rent the boxes is $5/mo. All I know is I am "renting" 1 HD box, 1 DVR, getting the 60 channel pack, hd pack. 60 channel pack is $24.99 + hd pack $9.99 + dvr service fee $4.99 which adds up to $39.99. When I asked the dishnetwork guy told...

Hopefully I will give a gleem of hope to many of you. I called and purchased my HD satellite system from dishnetwork on 2/9 and am getting it installed tomorrow (2/18)!!!!!! I too called dishnetwork and they said they were on backorder. But I stumbled upon a web site...you guys better right the...

does anyone know if these two switchers (avtoolbox and cablesamerica swither) are the same thing? I've been looking and both have the EXACT same design and placement of buttons on the front of the unit. except one is silver and the other is green. I just relized this and wondered if these two...

i'm deciding between the avtoolbox component switch or the switcher from cablesamerica.com. I rather not have a bright green box (avtoolbox) sitting with my equipment so I'm leaning toward the cablesamerica switcher. But on their website they do not mention HDTV signals. Is this switcher...

I have been reading many threads about component video switchers. I have a new HDTV and already ran out of inputs. From what I've read you have to spend at least $100+ to get a good switch that doesn't affect quality. can I just use a good Y-splitter cable? I saw some good looking monster cable...

here is a link to the pelican web site if you wanna see what i'm talking about. http://www.pelicanperformance.com/index2.html

I saw this universal system selector pro made by pelican for $100. The big thing about it is that it has like 3 or 5 component video inputs and I could use it cause my tv only has 2 cv inputs, but i want to hook up 4 things to it. I don't know if anybody has any info on this but I want to know...

does anyone have any info on specs of these next next gen systems? i know there isn't really any official info on them yet, but I can't help but wonder. Will these both be totally HD? and will they be in widescreen, so people with WS tv's don't have to squish the games??? Just curious, if anyone...

I have maybe what is considered to be a dumb question, but then again sony is always being stupid and making their manuals confusing. I just got a proscan PS2 but it only talks about playing dvd movies in proscan. and to turn proscan on you have to put in a dvd to access the dvd setup menu by...

Could anyone point me in the direction of some info about HD dvd? I just bought an EDTV samsung, thinking I watch lots of movies and just got a proscan PS2, so it's good enough for now. But I thought to myself and realized I have been hearing things like HD DVD coming out within the year. I...
