Jaxxson Mayhem Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 They're changin the TV they're gonna get me. Now I think this is the one they're sendin... http://www.olevia.com/jsp/products/detail.jsp?pid=232V
Craig Th Posted March 27, 2007 Report Posted March 27, 2007 Not bad. It also has VGA which is always nice.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 I just want to mention how ironic it is that the girl Im with has a Comcast HD DVR hooked up to a 19 inch regular SD TV. I hadnt noticed til last night when we were searching around for her remote... I was..really..really..cautious about saying anything stupid.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted April 13, 2007 Report Posted April 13, 2007 Don't worry, Marv, you don't have to beat her to death; the Comcast and Scientific Atlanta HD DVRs have a ton more space than the SD ones do, and many markets charge the same price for both of them. I have one on a regular old TV in my bedroom because it's $12/month regardless of which unit I rent. The HD models are also newer and faster, and run the channel guide and on-demand software much more effectively.
Craig Th Posted April 14, 2007 Report Posted April 14, 2007 Comcast probably has all HD DVRs just to make things easier. And it isn't her fault, the cable company gave it to her.
razazteca Posted April 14, 2007 Report Posted April 14, 2007 So did you force her to spend $10,000 on a new entertainment center?
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 So did you force her to spend $10,000 on a new entertainment center? I didnt say anything. Other than laugh at the fact her dvd player is like 10 years old..one of the really old slow huge ones.
Dobbs 3K Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 My parents have a DVD player that's more than 10 years old, but it's not huge, and works fine. It's a Toshiba though, so I think it is one of the higher quality ones you could get at the time. I know it cost about $250 at the time.
razazteca Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 I'm surprised that you did not rush to the nearest Best Buy or Circuit City to get the cheapest DVD player not named Cyber Home or APEX! Must have progressive scan, DVD+R playback, play DIVX and component cables!
Craig Th Posted April 16, 2007 Report Posted April 16, 2007 Why aren't we bringing up the more important thing here? Marv, what's the story with this girl????? Is this the one you have been chatting online?

treble Posted April 18, 2007 Report Posted April 18, 2007 HDNet in Canada is really shitty. Almost none of the shows that are on the American version are shown here since they don't have the Canadian syndication rights (NHL, Arrested Development, Smallville, Joan of Arcadia). Most of what we get stuck with are boring news magazine or interview shows. I want to watch Andy Richter Controls the Universe, dammit.

You know that was canceled a LONG time ago, right?
treble Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 Well, something was up and they showed Andy Richter on the Canadian feed tonight. I think it might have something to do with their coverage of the Virginia Tech stuff.
Jaxxson Mayhem Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 They are called re-runs. ???? I haven't seen a re-run of andy richter in years. Actually........ I've never seen any. He does have a new show out tho. it's called andy barker P.I.
treble Posted April 19, 2007 Report Posted April 19, 2007 That's pretty much cancelled, too. There are a bunch of shows that HDNet has the rights to that I'd like to watch, but aren't on the Canadian feed, I don't even think most of them are available anywhere else in Canada. That Higher Definition show is on all the time, it seems, and that host is boring as fuck.

Also, it wasnt a dumb comment. He said "Andy Richter". That is his actual name. He's been on more things than just Andy Richter Controls The Universe.

the max Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 We lost HDNet and HDNet movies, both of which piss me off. We now have MTVHD which is a channel I don't watch anyway, National Geographic HD which hasn't had much on since being added, and A&E HD, which I only know for 24 reruns. Comcast sucks the cock.
treble Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 We can't get NGCHD here unless we subscribe to the regular National Geographic channel. A&E is pointless, pretty much nothing besides CSI: Miami is in HD.

Havent bothered to check it out yet.
MarvinisaLunatic Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Universal HD is good too. TNT HD blows

That's what i was talkin about.
CanadianGuitarist Posted April 22, 2007 Report Posted April 22, 2007 I danced around this in the 360 thread in the Video Games folder as well. Customer today said they wanted to connect their TV to a PC. I told them they needed a 15-pin VGA cable, which we inexplicably don't carry. Customer said they had heard an S-video cable would also work.....news to me (as I told them), but I'm second-guessing myself now. The more I thought of it, my laptop does have something about the size of an S-video (and it's not PS2). If it does the same trick, can I assume VGA is akin to HDMI in the cable hierachy?
MrRant Posted April 22, 2007 Report Posted April 22, 2007 Somewhat, more along the lines of DVI though since it doesn't carry sound.

S-Video works. As long as you have S-Video out (most used in a video card).
