As an HD DVD owner, I have found myself at times questioning the long-term viability of this platform. After all, Blue Ray has more studios on board, has all of those PS3s, and appears to have stronger retail support. So, how can HD DVD survive and perhaps even win this format war? It is...

Now that CES is over, my main question is: how can HD DVD win this format war? I have an HD DVD player and am an avid supporter of that format but I see three formidable obstacles in the way of HD DVD: 1. Marketing support - For whatever reason, the big box retailers seem to be on the Blue...

I have the good fortune of having FIOS TV in my area and recently got it installed. I was very excited about getting FIOS given everything that I'd heard about their picture quality on both HD and SD channels. I've had the service about a week now and have to admit some disappointment in that...

I have a quick audio question. I am set up for 5.1 analog audio output for HD DVD movies but prefer the digital component output for SD DVD. But I can't seem to get the component output to work when I change it on my audio receiver. Do I need to change something on my HD-A1 in order to enable...

I have a basic question regarding the EPG that comes with the Motorola HD DVR. Can you edit the guide to only show the channels that you want to watch? I couldn't do that with my Adelphia box and it's important to me. I just found out that I can get FIOS TV but before I do I wanted to get...

Now this looks pretty impressive! http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/060711/latu007.html?.v=59

Do to large trees around my house, I only have line of sight at 61.5 degrees. What channels can I get there? I am primarily interested in HD and am under the impression that the HD channels are all available at 61.5. But I wanted to confirm this. Thanks in advance for any help!

I'm not sure whether this has been posted yet by my town of Leesburg finally approved a Verizon franchise! Yipee! http://www.leesburg2day.com/current.cfm?newsid=12182

So, my local Best Buys are really pushing the Samsung Blue Ray units which are now prominently displayed on the end caps while the Tosh's are now shoved into a side aisle. I'm not sure what Sony has done to sell BR but the Blockbuster sales guys are buying it hook line and sinker. Anyway...

Well, I have been parousing the various early reviews of the new Samsung Blue Ray Player and there seems to be an early (with an emphasis on the word early) consensus that that the HD DVD picture quality is clearly better than Blue Ray. Apparently, the first blue ray titles aren't living up to...

One of my favorite publications, the Perfect Vision, just came out with a very positive review of the HD DVD Player. I can't give a link since it is a subscription publication but you can get a free sample online or go to your local bookstore. This review is even prior to the firmware update...

I have now had my HD-A1 for about a week now and have watched Apollo 13, Unforgiven and Million Dollar Baby. So, here are my thoughts: 1. First of all, this machine really delivers on its promise of putting forth a top quality HD picture with great sound. Like someone else in this forum...

CNET has a new report claiming significant risks of HDMI errors with this unit. They claim that a lot of things can lead to the HDMI error including changing the tv input, powering on another electronic unit, changing inputs in your audio receiver, etc. Has anyone here experienced much in the...

After much reading and careful consideration, I have decided to take the HD-DVD plunge! I was actually reading some of the reviews over at CNET and so many people are crazy about this unit particularly its ability to upscale stanard dvds. So, now I am in the process of tracking one down. I...

I was checking for the availability of HD DVD players online today and it looks like they are now out of stock at most places. And the Ebay prices on this units have risen to $600-$650 to reflect this. This confirms my general impression that these units are receiving good early reviews and...

As a potential new HD DVD purchaser here is my question. Will the LOTR moves become aligned with HD DVD or Blue Ray or both? The only thing I know is that they are New Line Cinema. So, I'm hoping its both but I would hate to get an HD DVD player to find out that they have done an exclusive...

Not sure if this has been posted but HD DVD players are now on display at various Best Buy Stores. I have to say, once you look at the picture quality of these units it makes everything else being shown at the Best Buy look like crap!

So, for those who have purchased an HD DVD Player, I have a basic question. How does the picture quality of the movies on the HD DVD player compare with the picture quality of HD movies shown on television through their local cable or satellite company?

I had heard that Dish would make available a stand-alone HD package for $30 per month along with some sort of $6 additional HD receiver fee (and $5 more for locals). But when I called this morning about it I was told that there is no such package currently available with the MPEG-4 receivers...

Not sure if this has been posted but the Verizon Fios website now shows three areas for channel line-ups on its website: North Texas, Fairfax County and Tampa, FL. I should note that the Fairfax County and Tampa channel line-ups still only include HDNET Movies and not HDNet. Not sure if this...

In case you only watch HD like me, I just thought I'd let everyone know about an option that I recently explored through Adelphia in order to just get my HD channels (I also get high speed internet through them). The best I could do was to just get my basic broadcast channels (2-34) along with...

I am a former Voomer who still has the old voom satellite and antenna connected. I no longer have the Voom receiver. I recently tried to add Dish but could not because of line of sight issues. Now, I would like to simply get OTA channels through the Voom setup that I have. I basically have...

I'm a former Voomer and recently signed up for Dish looking forward to getting the former Voom channels as well as the high PQ I've heard about on the other Dish HD channels. I was also excited about getting my 942 and all of its capabilities! Well, turns out that I have no line of site for...
