    Is HDMI that much better?

    Steve, I think you will like the MonoPrice switch box.The only thing I don't like about it is the flashing red light on the front.It's very bright and annoying.I put some black electrical tape over it. Enjoy!

    Is HDMI that much better?

    I got this switch from MonoPrice and it works great. MonoPrice.com - Best quality products at the lowest price I use it with my 622 and my OPPO 980

    DishComm and VIP 211

    Does Dishcomm work with the 211? I have a 622 downstairs with a phone line connected and a 211 without phoneline connected in the bedroom.I Would like to have caller ID on the 211. Thanks.

    $189.00 for a 811 on EBAY?

    The thing is,the ad on eBay doesn't state what revision it is. Btw,I wouldn't take that much money for mine, even if offered.I just wouldn't feel right about it.

    622 "pause bar" burn in

    My Hitachi is 4.5 years old and was ISF calibrated 2 months after purchase.It looks fantastic.No burn-in. In fact, I love the film-like look and the inky blacks.It has a depth that I have not seen on any set under $5,000.My set, IMHO, has a better overall picture then my buddy's new 60" SXRD...

    622 "pause bar" burn in

    Just switch the t.v. to a unused input after you pause the 622.The screen will go black,but the set will still be on.Also,you should set up you Sony properly.The contrast and brightness need to be adjusted.I've had my Hitachi for 5 years and I have no burn in. Use Avia or even the THX...

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    The pre and post game shows use 8 cameras out of a SD truck from which the shows are produced.It would be extremely expensive to use 2 HD trucks.Therefore,the highlights are in SD.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Many people have different tv's.I think some of the older LCD's have slow refresh rates and that contributes to what they are seeing.With the monitors I work with,I can see miniscule camera problems that a layman would never notice.That's a big part of my job.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Yes, these are $7,000 to$10,000 monitors made for video QC and we only sit 2 feet away.They are made by Ikegami,Shibasaku,Sony etc,etc.Right now I'm sitting infront of 3 $7,000 Ikegami 14" high resolution monitors.I'm working the Thrashers game tonight.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Most video rooms in the trucks have 2 or 3- 13" or some times 20" QC monitors.Plus 20 or 30 smaller monitors for all the cameras and feeds coming in.The control room will have 2 or 3 larger (25" or so) monitors for program (what's on line) and preview (whats about to be on line).Then a whole...

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Also,and you can trust me on this, if the microblocking and pixilation were visible in the truck,the director and producer would be screaming their heads off at the video operators and the truck engineers.

    NFLHD Quality This Week?

    Guy's,it's the compression.I've worked those games and did not see microblocking or pixilation in the truck.The up cameras don't have tight shots of fast moving objects.The field cams do and that's where you will notice the problems (caused by the sat. or cable company) with the video.All...

    Hot Pixel on NFL Network Camera?

    You are mostly correct.With the Sony's, if I run it through 5 or 6 black balances,sometimes that will fix a stuck pixil.If that doesn't work,I'll show it to the EIC so he's aware of it.That's all I can do.So many of these trucks rarely see the shop.They are that busy.And yes,sending it back to...

    Hot Pixel on NFL Network Camera?

    First of all,I'm not a camera operator.I'm a video engineer.Second,we are talking about a stuck pixil in one camera.I've seen stuck pixels on CBS,FOX,NBC, etc,etc.. Like I said,the NFL Network is what it is right now.They are going through growing pains.As far as quality,I don't know if you are...

    Well,you can have one! Providing you have 8 to 12 million dollars lying around doing nothing.Or you got really good credit and get a loan.You would also need to be trained just to park and power it and open up the expando.I won't even get into how much you need to know to work on the inside.You...

    Hot Pixel on NFL Network Camera?

    They are not "HD suppliers".They are remote television production companies.To name a few: NMT,NEP, MTVG,GameCreek,Crosscreek,F&F,Jefferson Pilot (now Lincoln Finacial Sports),Turner Broadcasting,etc,etc.Some trucks are HD,some SD Digital,some SD.

    HD Subs are so screwed by compression... Operators like D*/E* must be LOL

    This article seems to have a liberal/wealth envy slant to it: "And if that happens, the wealthy subscribers who've spent thousands of dollars on an HDTV set may be inclined to part ways with their cable service, if the signals they receive aren't high-definition enough. " and "Well-heeled...
