    PS3 Remote Problem

    Ok so committed a sin. I opened the PS3 remote and threw out the package. Problem is how do you get it to work? I'm sure you need to set it up to the system but i cant figure out how. Normally you just put batteries in a remote and the thing works...no such luck here with the blu ray. Joe

    Buying new 1080i TVs?

Obviously all broadcasts are coming in at 1080i, also my XBOX360 add-on (1080i) looks better than my PS3, my PS3 also looks better in...

    Standard tv on HD sets

    I feel like standard tv looks bad on my HDTV. I don't think it's because I am comparing it to the HD channels. Why is it that standard tv looks better on non HD tvs? Joe

    Why does the picture get blocky sometimes?

    I have a new Samsung DLP http://www.samsung.com/Products/TV/D...S5688WXXAA.asp Sometimes on HD channels when the scenes are going fast the picture gets blocky. My tv claims to have a "new smooth engine" or something to prevent "screen door" appearance. Could this be because of my connection...
