    HD Capture Cards

    Both of the cable companies I've delt with (RCN and COX) hard-broadcast aspect ratios. And it does really suck. I'm sure that's done so Joe Highdef doesn't watch his channels in the wrong ratio and then call support. Thanks for the resolution breakdowns. I was certain that all my parents...

    Wireless Desktop Card Recommendations

    The D-Link DWL-520 is a fantastic card. The D-Link driver, however, is not. Pick up the card and then use the latest Atheros (the card's chipset) drivers. If you need some more configuration beyond the basic Windows setup use the Gigabyte Atheros package. You won't be disapointed. For what...

    Build A Computer For Under $750?

    I sent my mom into the 5am Best Buy trenches on Black Friday 2005 for the $20 24 DVD sets. It's amazing what parents will do even after you've grown up and moved out. I know I'm a little late for input especially since you've already nixed the PC idea, but if your son would be gaming you need...

    HD Capture Cards

    My video card outputs 1080p over dual link DVI-I, which is how I have it hooked up to my display. ...I was under the impression that current broadcast and over-the-air HD maxed out at 720p due to bandwidth.

    AV HUB/Splitter

    Well, I have multiple sources going into one display, not the other way around. But please keep us posted. I'm interested to hear in any experience with the company's products before I drop a serious chunk of change.

    AV HUB/Splitter

    I know this is an old thread, but I figured that it would be bumping this rather than creating a new one. Anyway. I'm looking for a HD A/V selector and am have had a tough time finding something resonable that isn't part of a reciever. I have my eye on this scaler/slector. Right now I'm in...

    Are first party component cables good or is the extra money worth it?

    In terms of the PS2/Xbox/GCN... Are the first party cables good? Or are the Monster and other brands worth the price of admission? I just bought my first HD/1080p display (Westinghouse LVM-37w3) and I want do upgrade myself properly. Fair warning, I'm totally new to home theater in terms...
