Looks great Faster, BTW, How do you like your Samsung and what type is it? DLP? Reason I'm asking is our TV is having problems and looks like we will be buying one soon to replace. But there are so many to choose from. I'm just starting to look around but I have heard good things about Samsung.

yeh we like it alot. had the best picture of the many different models we looked at between almart circuit city best buy and sams.. we ended up gettin a good deal on this one was the display model at Sams so we got 150 bucks off the price cause it was last one was only out on display for 3 days.... lol and its got warranty from sams and whatnot but we love it.. awesome picture.. but the internals speakers like ud figure arent the greatest.. has synthesized surround sound but tends to rattle the front peice a bit

indications from industry and FCC officials including its chairman are that the cutoff date for digital-only broadcasts will not meet the intended 2007 and the actual timeline for analog shutoff in the U.S. will realistically be in the 2010–2015 timeframe.
Here is some info on the subject. linky

I think most bigger tv's are High deff ready though.

Keep in mind digital broadcast doesn't mean HD. It just means they need to pump out a 480p signal in a digital format and scrap their analog ways.

There will be a slew on converters to take the digital signals and convert them to an analog 480i signal your TVs can display. No biggie.

Personally not that anyone sees it but for both pc and A/V I buy a roll of wirellom and color code each end of each cable then put it in the loom. Then use electric tape to close it up and walla I have one cable.
Tip: Don't put your mouse cable and sometimes your key board cable if it is on a drawer do not put it in the loom either.
