Many thanks. I've been trying to dump CV forever now - but being in a Co-Op meant no satellite dish, and FIOS still isn't in the area. But MonstersHD is more than enough to keep me happy.

How do you find out when your area gets them? (I'm in Southern Westchester, NY)

For under 2K, the LVM-42W2 42" 1080p just looks too good to be true. I have read that there is a problem with the set freezing-up so that you need to actually unplug the set to fix it. I currently have a Panny 34" CRT and have had my eye on upgrading for a while, assuming that I'd go with...

WBHD Image problem? I've been loving Smallville in HD, but every non-HD show on the channel that I've seen (like the Frasier reruns) seems to be "blown-up" to a ratio somewhere between SD and HD. Anyone else notice this?

Same problem here Schedule a recurring recording, wait a day or so, and it cancels itself. I've had nothing but problems with the SA HD DVR from Cablevision since I got the upgrade. Another favorite problem is "The Never-Ending Recording", a show will continue to record past its end-time...

That's what I was looking for... Thanks for the link! I was looking for something like that on the XM site but couldn’t find one. I know that I’ll want Stern next year, so that gives Sirius the edge right now. Now I’ll do a little more research on equipment. Thanks again.

I live about 30 miles north of Manhattan in southern Westchester county. I’m on the verge of taking the satellite radio plunge, but I’m concerned about reception. I live in the top floor of an apt building with a N/NE view. I realize that many factors can affect the signal, but with that in...
