If you're splitting a digital signal multiple times, the degradation goes like this: "Great, great, great, gone". It's not like splitting an analog signal where it goes: "Great, good, fair, poor". With a digital signal you may see some breakup right before "gone", but that point is so close to...

Did they make 1080 displays back in 1999? I thought those were more recent than that. Also, what technology is your TV? If it's rear projection CRT then stuff dims, things get out of alignment, etc. You are looking at an 8 or 9 year old set and I'll bet if you compared its picture to a newer...

Don't forget that at most stores like BB or CC, if you buy an $1850 display, you'll also need to allocated about $250 for a stand to put it on. You can get close to 60" in a plasma, but I doubt for $2k. I don't know if you can even find an LCD at that size, surely not for $2k. So you're...

That's where the "user settable" part comes in. You can choose "big and degraded", or "tiny and better" - whichever suits your fancy or your systems capabilities best. Your choice may well change from channel to channel. I've got several SD channels that are acceptable on my 65" set. Others...

I was able to do this on my old Mitsubishi TV (my new one has discrete input selects) by: (1) Sending Channel-Up. This forced the TV to the Antenna Input. (2) Once you know yourself to be on Antenna Input, it's just a counting game to figure out how many "Next Input" commands to send until...

What I would like to see is an option on HDTVs to present the picture in its (the pictures) native resolution by user choice. Not scaled to the HDTVs native resolution as is done today (you'd still want this scaling to be available, but by user choice). So if you're feeding the HDTV an SD...

It sounds like Harmony is a good choice for those not technically inclined, or those who prefer not to mess with setup very much. The fact that you have to plug it in to a PC to program anything on it might be a barrier to the REALLY technically disinclined, but those folks wouldn't do very...

Well, I got my MX-500 a few days ago and I must say I'm impressed! This thing learned everything on the first try without any glitches (except when I accidently learned a few things to the wrong key, but that was my error - easily corrected). I agree. I spent a lot of time pre-planning and...

On some devices there may be a workaround to make "power toggle" work like "discrete power on" and "discrete power off". e.g., A DVD player with only power toggle on it's remote may gain pseudo discrete on/off with a macro. "Play" substitutes for power on for many DVD players. discrete on =...

If you have a newer Mitsubishi television, you can change your remote from normal (power toggle) operation to discrete operation (discrete power, discrete input select, discrete format select) with a key sequence. Let your universal remote learn from it while in the alternate mode, then switch...

OK. Just wanted to check. If you were sitting, say, 14 feet away then there's a good chance human eyes aren't good enough to distinguish much difference.

Well, this MX-500 I'm anxiously awaiting delivery on must be pretty well built! I just checked the FedEx tracking website. Noticed they listed the thing as weighing 11.2 pounds. Definitely a two-handed porker of a remote if it balances the scales at that heft! I better start working out...

How big is your TV screen (guessing 51" ?) and how far away from it are you? I have no complaints about how my A2 plays standard DVDs. They look excellent. Not as good as true HD material, but excellent none-the-less.

I saw the 850 ... $199 ... and compared it to the 500 ... $79. The 500 won. Getting me to spend more than $100 on a remote would take some pretty good convincing. The MX-500 should do everything I need. I don't need the PC programming part. I have all my original remotes and can learn from...

I just ordered an MX-500 no more than an hour ago ($79 at Surf Remote Control - Universal Remote Controls - an authorized dealer) I've been researching remotes to death. A big big factor for me is the layout, and the MX-500 won out IMHO. If you buy a Universal remote like the MX-500 (the...
