HDTV Set Top Box

thanks, Kenny!

what AVS forums? I did a search on HDTV and set top boxes and only saw one thread from last August with no information. Am I missing something?

thanks, Jim. I am doing a lot of reading. I agree, it is NOT as simple as they would make you believe. I think I'll use my energy on researching a better center channel instead :-)

Martin, we have the same TV. It's awesome, isn't it? We like the size since it's not so BIG and the theatre wide format is perfect for DVD's. We got tired of trying to read all the fine print on the movies to find full screen and didn't like the black bars. Toshiba finally released their set top box in January for around a $1000. I see them on eBay, new in box, for around $800. It's looking like satellite is the way to go and we just don't watch enough TV for that. So, I am not sure that we are going that route yet. When it's more prevelant over cable, maybe. We mostly use it to watch movies and have a pretty good setup for that. So.... I don't know yet. The HT is my project, the audio system is my husband's. I want to upgrade the center channel and would like to get one of the ML's.

Martin, our TV has progressive scanning as well. Does it make a difference to have the DVD player output this as well? Doesn't the TV do it anyway? Pardon my ignorance here, I am learning. thanks -

hey, this is good stuff! thanks so much, you have given me much to think about. - a
