Finally, the tv was delivered yesterday and the cable guy showed up
at 1500 today to do his thing.
Here we only have 9 real HDTV stations in the high channel range 602
- 610.

Tv is beautiful on those and a bit less so on the remaining channels.
One tricky thing is choosing the correct 'screen mode'.
I set it up so the HDTV fills the screen, but the normal channels
have the black bars on each side. They just don't look right if I go
to full screen or zoom or wide zoom.
I have to get the Sony salesman out to the house to make sure I have
the set programmed for maxium clarity.
The cable guy gave me a HDMI cable to run between the box and tv and
an optical audio cable for DVR cable box/home theater system.
Now when I get my new DVD player I may use component cables for that.
The TV only has one HDMI input and it would be too much trouble
moving the HDMI cable between the DVR box and the DVD player as the
salesman suggested.


Congratulations Don. What sort of programs are on the 9 HDTV stations?




Nine channels of curling, 24-7, of course.
If it was hockey..it wouldn't be so bad!
(better watch what I wish for)
