    Thanks Ice and Eurosport. I just didn't remember off the top of my head.

    Sherman, I agree. I can see it if I am looking for (and I stopped because they are so close) it during football (jitter vs blur), but otherwise it's very hard to tell.
    THERE= a place. not here - THEIR= belongs to them - THEY'RE = short for "They Are". THEN = a point in time; not now. - THAN = used to compare things.

    If something is LOOSE you might LOSE it. Your=belongs to "you" You're short for "you are"

    Oh so you are the guy who bought those. I heard someone helped the format stay afloat for awhile.

    720P looks a little "smoother" than 1080I on a large screen to me. On very (and I mean) very close inspection I can see the slightest of difference in detail of faces, when close to the screen. At viewing distance, none. Same as OTA VS Sat. 1080P however has a "deeper" look to it, deeper colors, almost a little "3d" for lack of a better term. I can see that from a viewing distance. But, not with every blu ray. The source has alot to do with it.

    About 60 of those were bargain basement priced, like 4 to 10 bucks. After HD DVD folded I got Toshiba's best player for a lot less then I paid for their lesser model, so, you see I have a back up player.
