    Do HDMI to Component converters really work?

    I'm in need of some advice. I've finally decided to take the plunge into the world of Blu-ray, but my HD TV is an older model that doesn't have an HDMI input. I've only got component inputs. If I buy a new blu-ray player I realize it's only going to have HDMI output. Do any of these...

    Is the b&w era of TV on DVD slowly coming to an end?

    I was just reading a couple of the threads here about how happy some were with the upcoming release schedule and it hit me that most of the excitement was about shows that ran in the 70's or beyond.
