HDTV set up
 

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.

So far it appears to regular programing on a different time schedule...
maybe EST or CST vs AST. Wife came home and watched DR. Phil on one of
the channels.
I was watching the Slavery show on PBS Detroit before she came.
I seem to have ABC, NBC CBS, CBC, CTV, PBS and three others.
At 5pm wife made me switch to MASH on a regular channel.
Our salesman said a lot of the prime time programming is HD... but I
don't know if he meant on the regular channels..or just the nine
mentioned above.
The new DVR cable box will be interesting. Some of the buttons I
previously used for the 'info' program now control the recording harddrive.
Good thing I'm retired.

My SONY HDTV has the same sized screen display on regular or HDTV
cablecasts, so I am guessing you have a setting set wrong.

Nope, as usual, YOU are wrong.

HD broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Regular broadcasts are in 4:3
AR. If your regular programming fills the screen of an HD display, either
everyone looks fat or you're cutting off significant parts of the top and
bottom of the picture.

Fred:

There's nothing, I repeat, nothing you post here that I believe or care
about.

And you're wrong. But I'm not going to expend any effort to "prove" it.

Fred was correct but failed to mention the solution you have on your
TV...and know nothing about. If you want the most normal looking picture
for the 4:3 without sidebars, the best setting option is to stretch
*only* the ends of the picture and leave the center normal. So, as Fred
stated, your options for 4:3 are stretch mode, regular mode, or
*modified stretch*.

As always, it's a pleasure correcting your poor advice, Krause.

When a signal is broadcast in HD, the normal setting will fill the screen
nicely. When looking at regular broadcast, you'll have to live with the
lines on the sides, a 'stretched' mode, or a zoomed mode. (At least that's
the way mine is.) This is true for all channels, except the HD channels
when the broadcast is in HD. I first thought there was something wrong with
my TV also, but there wasn't. I've learned to live with fat faces, or
having the heads cut off a little and the display reduced on the bottom.

I use the component cables for the cable box and for the dvd player.

Yes, go ahead and write Hamas, Krause. Make sure you address the

1916 - Sykes-Picot Agreement establishes Labanon, Syria, & Palestine

1923 - Jewish terrorists force Britian into unilaterally splitting
Palestine into Palestine & Trans-Jordan.

1947 - Jewish terrorists force UN into further partitioning of Palestine

1948 - Hagana (IDF) unilaterally establishes state of Israel. US Jews

Now, your position has been that there are no "real Palestinians, only

Nothing argumentative, just facts:

The Sykes-Picot Agreement - 1916:

It is accordingly understood between the french and British governments:
That France and great Britain are prepared to recognize and protect an
independent ***Arab*** states or a confederation of ***Arab*** states
(a) and (b) marked on the annexed map, ***under the suzerainty of an
Arab chief***. That in area (a) France, and in area (b) great Britain,
shall have priority of right of enterprise and local loans. That in area
(a) France, and in area (b) great Britain, shall alone supply advisers
or foreign functionaries at the request of the ***Arab*** state or
confederation of Arab states.

And for those of us who saw the movie Lawrence of Arabia, let's not

in ***their*** lands.

Is it any wonder the Arabs are upset?

Why are you again blaming others for Skippy's terrible behavior here John?

Skippy has managed to insult just about every member of this NG. He is not
welcome here. Please stop facilitating his behavior and start ignoring him.

I think you might be correct. Why don't we both agree not to respond to
any of Skippers OT or racists / anti-semitic comments.

I merely point out when he does it. I won't lower myself to debate his
anti-Semitic points. But I think it important to point out his kind of
crap, so that fair-minded people realize what he really is.

When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the
law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler

1916 - Sykes-Picot Agreement establishes Labanon, Syria, & Palestine

1947 - Jewish terrorists force UN into further partitioning of Palestine
into Arab and Jew sections.

1948 - Hagana (IDF) unilaterally establishes state of Israel. US Jews
lobby government (Democrats) to support this takeover. US is first to
recognize new "state" of Israel.

Now, your position has been that there are no "real Palestinians, only
Arabs." You are factually incorrect. Your belief that there are no
Palestinians is, at best, wishful thinking on your part. There have, in
fact, been massive landgrabs and human rights abuses in Palestine. No
way the west can win in the end. Is it really worth the endless deaths?
Time to cut US losses.

Sorry, Snipper, but other than to point out your hatred of Jews, I'll
not be engaging you in dialog relating to your virulent anti-Semitism.
Save it for your local Hitler Youth leadership meetings.

When you have the facts on your side, argue the facts. When you have the
law on your side, argue the law. When you have neither, holler
anti-Semite.

Vielen Dank, Dr. Totenkopf.

We really need to add the Israeli initiated 1967 six-day war to the list
above. Can't say I blame you for running when presented with phacts 'n
data.

Read carefully. Skipper, et al, troll. Others take bait. None of that crap
belongs here.

If you will notice, *I* did not respond to Skippy, as I have more sense.

Sense? Did you say sense? That sorta reminds me of another East Coast
crap story. Boston, yeah, Boston, that's where it was. Actually, Harvard
in Cambridge to be more precise. Was browsing the Harvard Book Store one
evening when the Professor said, major developmental software cannot be
produced on a budget/schedule. I positioned otherwise. Well, next
morning we assembled the leadership team and everyone agreed the
Professor was right...but then, 12 hours later after we *detailed* every
task needed to complete the project, we had a master schedule AND
budget...critical paths 'n all. A few days later we had the schedule
tiered to four (4) levels.

So you see, sense can be a thing of perspective and understanding...even
for the PHDs.

We've both tried to have reasonable discussions with Skipper. Neither of us

*anything* worthwhile from him.

It would be nice if a few others would do the same thing.

Any fool can produce a schedule and budget, the trick is to deliver
completed software on time, fully debugged.

There are many who can talk the talk, very few who can walk the walk.

Sorry, wrong.

Different aspect ratios. IF you even have an HD unit (which I doubt)
it would be YOUR settings that are wrong.

This from a guy who doesn't know what a DVR is. Hmmm...sounds like
another one of his "My life is so great, and I'm better than you"

HD broadcasts have an aspect ratio of 16:9. Regular broadcasts are in 4:3

everyone looks fat or you're cutting off significant parts of the top and

Absolutely correct.

$100 for a 2-port HDMI switch with remote. Experiment with the picture
quality of component vs. HDMI out of the DVD player. My guess is you'll
order the switch.

Fred,

HDMI cables offer no increased video clarity or benefits up to 1080i
verses component cables...even from a progressive scan source (DVD
player).

Some sets offer more than 1080i resolution, but without a matching
source, the point is moot. Its like having a 6' satellite dish, to
lock a signal, that an 18" can do.

Now down the road, when HD increases over 1080i, and sources, such as
HD-DVD sets become available, then the added bandwidth of the HDMI
cables becomes usable.

I suppose if you were planning for the future, it would hurt anything
to start using HDMI cables, but don't look for any added
bandwidth/clarity/performance on the current standard HD/DVD
platform...at least over component cabling.
