Jim, do you not get a charge out of the antics of Harry and JimH? Hell,
watching them eat their foot with nasty comments ("Your house is glass...")
and then suck up to get someone to talk to them is hilarious.

If I were to filter them, I'd never get to laugh at their antics.

I don't believe you can pass HD over S-video cables. You need composite
video or HDMI cables. And even if the program you are watching Says it's
broadcast in HD, Time Warner might not be sending you HD. To be sure you
are getting "all HDTV can be" watch the OTA broadcast for free.

Someone else said the same thing but I can see a difference between nonHD
and HD channels.

If you're watching over S-Video you can not be watching in HD.


JimH said he can see a difference using S-Video. Amen.

Of course the difference is probable the addition of 'HD' to the station
call letters, but so what?

I understand that but the picture is still damn good and better than with
the composite cables. I will keep playing around to see if I can get
the HDMI to work.

No expert on this here, but my memory of hooking up an HD TV was that
there were five cables going from the cable box to the TV, and the HDMI
cable went from the DVD player to the TV.

Those are component cables. 3 for video and 2 for audio. I tried that
setup but the picture quality was not the best.



No, these are much thicker than the "component" cables.

I hope the shrimp was better than the crap. :-

ROTF!!!!!!!! Good call and funny!

My bad...........I meant to say CRAB.

Regardless.........it was funny! Thanks for the heads up. ;-)

If you knew what crabs ate... :-)


We ate Alaskan king crab claws/legs. Perhaps better than the
crab from your area but realizing they are all bottom feeders.


I like softshell crabs from this area, because you can eat the
whole thing. Never been into the spicy crab banging business of
crab eating so popular around here...lots of work for a little
bit of crab meat. I prefer the Alaskan claws and legs, too.

A crab picking is a social event as much as it is an eating event.
If you had friends you would know that.




Perhaps if I had my prefrontal lobes drilled, I could hang out with
a bunch of swell guys like you and pick.

Us prefrontal lobe drilled guys would most likely reject your
overtures for inclusion in our group. You wouldn't be up to our
standards.



Yeah, I probably still wouldn't be a Drooler like you.


It gives you something to work towards.



Yawn. I'm sure Reggie and the Retardos will be along sometime today for
you to play with...bye-bye on this.


See you soon!

JimH, is there a reason you must tell us for at least the third time that
you're giving your 16 year-old TV to your daughter?

We all believe you are a most generous person!

John H


How many times did you tell us you were giving your old boat to 'the kids'?
Did you ever actually do that?


Actually, Don, that was another lie made up by JimH. Of course you fell for
it.

Comparing to the 36" tube TV he may be seeing a difference.

If you were paying attention, you would know the outcome of John's
previous boat.

If you're getting a better picture from S-Video than from component
something is seriously wrong. Component is usually indistinguishable from
HDMI, sometimes it's even better, while S-Video can only pass a 480i signal.

Make sure you're actually using component cables, and not standard
"composite" or audio type RCA cables. All component cables will have red,
green, and blue colored connectors.

Actually, he lied about that. He only *loaned* them his old boat, and
then he took it back to use as a trade-in for his new boat.

I've yet to tell a lie here, Harry. Can you say the same?

Don, you're acting like a friggin' puppy with it's tail between it's legs
and it's tongue out suckin' up to his master.

Be your own person for a change.

So you went back to S-Video and lost the HD picture completely? That should
improve things!
