    Can you watch regular tv on a projector

    MMMMM HD Just got it installed. Totally worth the new dish and hd reciever. Even the non high def looks better (a little brighter and WAY less artifacts so its clearer) The high def looks amazing even on my 92" screen. Can't wait to get my HDMI cord next week and see the little jump in quality...

    Will 1080p Front Projectors come down into the $1,000-3,000 price range? Ever?

    Of course it will. You can find off brand sets now for that much. Expect around christmas that a decent 42-50 inch 1080p will be in the 2200 range. As for projectors the hope is a little different. As of right now I know of three that are out and all are hovering around the 10k range. I suspect...

    Pioneer RPTV - Green Tint?

    hello. it might be as simple as a magnetic field near your tv. if you have any large metal things or speakers on top or next to your tv try moving them about a foot away from the tv and see if that helps

    Can you watch regular tv on a projector

    "The only receivers that recognize the additional satellites are the ones designed to decode MPEG4 signals." Thats what i meant you can't record any of the local chan in hd with the old tivo units. "The HR20-250 is rumored to be just around the corner. That means anytime between now and...

    HDMI not working

    Well since WB, and UPN don't broadcast in HD in AZ I have no worries about that, and PAX HA what a joke of channel. I mainly care about having the main networks so i can watch CSI, and Law and Order in HD. I am sure that by the time they actually release the new system Direct TV will make a new...
