    Shrek 2 will not play on HD-A2

    Has anyone else had this problem? The backup I made from this disk will play without a problem. Maybe the PC-DVD content is causing a problem? I think the backup is bare-bones, movie only. I updated Wed night, the problem existed before and after the update. This movie will play in...

    Remote advice

    Sorry Steve, I can't help you on that. I have a remote registered on my PC now and can't remember how I was able to test drive. My advice is to go ahead and get one. I bought a 670 from Amazon for ~$77 and so far I am very pleased. The problem I am currenty having is with custom controls for...

    Remote advice

    Well that test-drive makes the decision entirely too easy Now the only question is which Harmony. The 550 would probably do everything I want with what I have now but I am considering a dishnetwork DVR. It may depend on Dishnetwork's customer retention dept. and whether or not they will give...

    Remote advice

    My old cheap but trusty OFA remote has no code for my Toshiba HD-A2, so its time to start shopping. I am leaning toward the Harmony 550 for the activity buttons. So, when I press the activity button it will turn on or off the needed/unneeded devices and switch the amp/rec to the appropriate...

    Up conversion on some SD-DVDs results in a small picture

    Thanks, both of you. It does seem to only happen on the DVDs that come in boxes with the big "wide-screen" banner at the top. I have both component and HDMI connected so switching between them is not a big deal.

    Up conversion on some SD-DVDs results in a small picture

    My TV does have a zoom function but it appears to be disabled on HDMI. All is can select is 16:9 and 4:3. 4:3 makes the picture even smaller.

    Up conversion on some SD-DVDs results in a small picture

    I first attempted to upconvert using component video connection since my reciever will accept and switch this but not HDMI. So I blew the dust off of my HDMI cable but even over HDMI the picture is very small but centered on the screen. The component cables are still connected since HD DVD video...

    ATI 9250 PCI, DVI to component?

    I have done a little more testing/research. I have an adapter that converts this DVI port to VGA. If VGA is an analog signal and this DVI to VGA converter will control a monitor then can I assume that it will also work with a DVI to component adapter? The DVI to VGA adapter did not come with...

    I have the above vid card and have seen, for sale, a DVI to component for certain ATI cards. This card is not on the list. Does anyone use this card connected to an HDTV?
