DVD sales figures: WIDE SCREEN vs FULL

WHEN CAN I VISIT???

What, no Tivo? Are you insane man!

Tivo doesn't support component input, yet, so I'm waiting. I do have a Tivo on my bedroom TV, and a ReplayTV (component input) on the AV setup in the basement. Tivo is having talks with Apple, regarding Apple's Rendezvous technology and Bluetooth support. Now THAT might be interesting.

With that 'n a VCR, who needs a TV?

Mine is no longer in production, but I've been more than happy with it:

And with projectors, you don't have to worry about the radiation coming from conventional TVs.

Right?

Ah, so all that techno mumbo-jumbo you were preachin' earlier was a projector. I'm illiterate on tech-talk.

It's usually easier to just puch buttons until something happends than readin' the manual I always says.

I like to go the other route...overboard

(edit: I was going to post an illustration of a wiring schematic I did for my AV setup, but I can't seem to find it. Maybe tomorrow.)

Excuse my ignorance, but why is component input important for a Tivo?

Excuse my ignorance, but why is component input important for a Tivo?

Component Input is important only so far as it allows for superior picture in comparison to RCA or S-Video. Also, Component is one of two standard connections for High Definition Inputs/Outputs. A Component Cable is actually three cables, one for each primary color, allowing for the best color depth and clarity.

Another consideration is there currently is no (with the exception of some HD-TV ready component cards for computer systems) way to record HD-TV onto DVD or TIVO type devices in HD.

We have a Panasonic DVD Recorder with a built in Hard Drive at home (the built in Hard Drive is our favorite feature by far). Even though it has Component output (for higher quality DVD pictures), it doesn't have a Component Input (which is necessary for High Definition).

I think most the objection to High Definition TVs due to price will soon be a mute point anyways. The prices have been falling drastically on High Definition Monitors over the past two years. If you are the market for a Big Screen, it is the only way to go now adays as the price difference is marginal at best and the picture quality is so much better.

The same thing is starting to happen in the Mid-Range TVs. HDTV is starting to become more prominent.

That... made no sense to me.

Think you could translate that to five sentances or less?
