We do not have digital cable or HD tv sets so the S-video works just fine for us. Comcast hasn't gone to "digital" cable in your part of the country? Many subscribers, me included up until a few days ago, just have a basic cable service meaning there is no cable box. The cable is simply hooked up to the VHF antenna input on the TV and you use the TV tuner to choose the channels. In this case, all channels are analog. Eisboch We updated a year ago to digital. Getting ready for the big shift to HDTV in the near future. (read:...saving for the TV) When you are ready to buy, take a long look at the glass tube flat screen HD TVs before you pay extra for one of the thin screens. It is still true that the glass tube TVs produce better pictures, and without your being able to see pixels. And, of course, the viewing angle with a glass tube TV is still wider than that of an LCD or plasma (overpriced) screen. I've been keeping close watch on Consumer Reports magazine (just paid the $12.00 US so I could search online) for any ecommendations in HD TVs. Quite a choice between the CRT type, LCDs, Plasma & DLP. I'll increase my research when I get close to buying one. My smaller living room (in a WW2 era house) calls for a 32" max. Anything bigger is getting hard to lug around. At the moment, SONY makes a gem of a 32" flat screen LCD. I'll try to find the model number. Of all the 32's I've seen it was by far the brightest and sharpest. Unfortunately, it was about $1700. Where do they make that sweet TV? |
