Its fair enough. I cant disagree with the approach. I become accustomed to things- so before when it was just multiple threads, I liked that. Then when it was consolidated, I liked that. Im sure Ill adjust now. I think we do not have such a large active membership so its a winning argument for either.

Jerry

Heres an article showing a point I have been making- that most people have no idea. http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/070122/0205964.html only 52 percent of HDTV owners subscribe to the HD service needed to experience true high-def viewing. So for many fans, a fancy new HDTV set is just -- a new TV.
CTAM's study further revealed that most HD owners aren't even aware they're missing out on the crystal clear images.... Thirty-four percent of owners who aren't HD subscribers weren't aware they needed to subscribe to a programming service when they purchased their HDTV sets. And, 61 percent of those non-subscribers believe that HD picture quality is the same as a DVD. best regards, Jerry

Jerryl, You have it exactly. People buy flatscreen tvs for one main reason. They take up less space and look a whole lot better when switched off. Period, thats it. The reason they bought DVD was thats there was no need to rewind it as with VHS, and pause looked better. You have to try realy hard to not buy a HD ready TV now as thats all there is available. This does not mean the buyers will ever subscribe to a HD service. My TV looks great on SD TV and DVD. People comment on how good it is. HD programing is too expensive in the UK when you think that spare monies will be much better used paying off your morgage. I for one was born at night, but it wasn't Last Night!!! Cheers, Chris

LOL Chris. What will happen is some day, 10 years from now, the vast majority of TVs on sale and in people's homes will be HD and then people will remark at how great they look because the cable and sat boxes that are in use will put out only an HD signal. Until then, all bets are off  best regards, Jerry

Mark. This is OT in an OT thread... Is black set to 0 or 7 IRE in your HD-XA1? And is your Lumagen set to PC or video levels for that input? Thanks!

I set the Lumagen to do an EDID handshake and force the Tosh into 4:2:2 YCbCr which means it's black level should be 7 IRE and the Lumagen is then set for video level input.
