It's funny to hear the "HD experts" at the local Best Buy help answer questions. I learned, by way of an associate helping someone next to me, that 1080i only has 540 lines of resolution while 1080p has 1080. I was mislead all this time! I asked another associate how the red/blu player sales...

The HD DVD is currently down to anonymous browsers: http://www.thelookandsoundofperfect.com/ It's interesting to see that they are using a Unix/Apache server and not a Windows server...:rolleyes:

Has anyone else experienced CD-R issues during playback? I've burned several audio discs and the first 3-4 tracks do nothing but cut out/skip. Deeper into the CD-R it plays perfectly. I've burned using two different recorders with the only common element being I used Verbatim discs. I would...

Expense and cultural differences may keep recorders out of the U.S. market (at least for now): http://news.zdnet.com/2100-9584_22-6122067.html

I sure hope DTV has solid plans to network the HR20's for home users. I would love to have the ability to pull content from one of my 3 HR20 units over to one of my H20 receivers. I'd also hope you could browse your local LAN and pluck programs from any given HR20 in your house. I could have one...

Twice in the past several days, I've gone to fire up the HR20 and I have absolutely nothing but a white, sparkling screen a lot like analog snow on a OTA non-channel. I have audio -- but nothing but the "static" image. A reboot of the unit seems to solve it, but I'm worried it's a sign that...

I can't personally confirm that it's out, but it is suppose to be out today. http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/08/20/hd-dvd-2-0-firmware-to-be-released-on-tuesday/ (I don't think a date was posted earlier...just that it was coming.)

Has anyone heard chatter as to when chains like Blockbuster and Hollywood Video might begin to carry HD-DVD or Blu-Ray titles in-store? I realize that the initial return wouldn't be high for stores, but what better when for the formats to get their respective product promoted than to tout the...

I watched my second HD DVD title, Assault on Pecinct 13, the other night and I continued to have audio sync issues. At one point, between apparent chapter changes, the audio went out completely for about a minute. A couple of other times it simply went out of sync by about 2 seconds. I'm...

First off, the idiot who designed the remote should be fired. I can't even make out the buttons while looking at it in daylight...and I'm *only* in my 30's. That being said, I picked up Van Helsing with my new HD-A1 earlier this week. I got through the setup without issue and was warned of...

OK, besides picking really old movies (Blazzing Saddles) or movies that fell short of commercial expectations (The Last Samurai), the other launch mistake made by the HD DVD camp is the pricing of the movies. I already own regular DVD versions of most of the movies that were just released...

I picked up a new 55" Hitachi rear projection LCD television two weeks back and haven't watched TNT-HD until catching NBA coverage this past weekend...and I wasn't impressed. Do I have a dog of a TV set (because of it's model or type) or is it just showing the limitations of the TNT-HD signal...

According to two different reps I spoke with yesterday, the Columbus, OH market won't now see HD locals until May. We were told it would be in April. I'm thinking in DTV Speak that means August. Landlocked

Isn't it kind of sad that DTV can boast about HD programming but can't even offer the one large channel they own, FX, on its satellite network? Geesh -- throw us a bone and at least upconvert it.

Does anyone know if a hard date to go live for HD locals has been given? I know we're "April" -- but that leaves a lot of days to wake up and check! Also, when I got my AT9 last month, the tech told me that one of the birds wouldn't show up as "properly installed" because the bird isn't live...

Forgive me is this has been posted elsehwere (a search didn't bring up any hits), but has D* added anything to the MPEG-4 lineup besides the known list of HD locals? Thanks, :) Landlocked

I called DTV over the weekend regarding the dying E86 I own and was told by someone in the tech department (so take it for what it's worth) that when the MPEG4 upgrade happens in my area, she anticipates the same upgrade deal currently being offered: $99 dish and one HD receiver. $99 to swap...

Hey gang, your thoughts on this issue would be appreciated. I have 6 DTV boxes at home (two of them HD) on a triple LNB and they have worked fine for a couple years under the current setup. In the past few weeks, however, my E86 is not picking up channels FX and MSNBC...but I get them...
