Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Thanks. The PQ is stunning, IMO. Much better-looking than standard def. I temporarily hooked the PC to my new HDTV and was still very impressed with the PQ. Not as good as the few HDTV channels I receive, but still good. Looked much better...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I downloaded an episode of Alias and viewed it using WMP on my desktop PC. It's widescreen, has the ABC logo, and was obviously recorded from an HDTV signal. The PQ is excellent. According to WMP, the properties of the file are: Video size...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) If you hadn't seen past years' episodes of a series like "Alias", would you go back and purchase the DVD sets, assuming they were available at a low price? Or would you resist the lower PQ and seek out other options? ;^)

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Thanks for the replies. I just learned that an ABC HDTV feed is not available to me yet (I have Dish Network). I've seen both of these particular shows' episodes available for download via BitTorrent. The file sizes seem small (~350MB)...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) (Not sure if this is the best newsgroup to post this newbie question to or not.) How would an HDTV recording of a TV show (say, "Lost" or "Alias") compare to the retail DVD version of the same show? (when the DVD set is released) Would the...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Yay! Glad to hear *someone* is able to watch Enterprise in HD. How do we get Dish Network to pick that signal up? ;^)

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Thanks. I "discovered" the Picture Performance Settings menu and then enabled Progressive. Since that time, pressing the PROGRESSIVE button on the remote does indeed toggle between modes--whether in Play or Pause modes. So far, I have yet to...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Interesting; thanks. I was thinking about doing the same thing....but I'm not sure it's worth all of the hassle to me. :^(

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Thanks, everyone. This is a low-end Toshiba DVD player with progressive output--free after rebate and shipping awhile back, so I didn't pay "extra" for the feature. What do you think of the various upconverter DVD players? (e.g., Samsung...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Last night, I used component cables for the first time with my low-end-but-Progressive-Scan Toshiba SD-3960 DVD player. I can't figure out if the Toshiba is actually pumping out Progressive Scan. The manual clearly shows what buttons to press...

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) I'm used to a $5/month lease.

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?) Thanks. What will the VCR/DVR do with HD content? Record static? Could it damage the recording devices? I envision using DVI output from the 811. Perhaps I can send SD out S-Video or composite to the VCR/DVR. I guess it depends on whether the...
