If your cable provider is anything like the one Down Unda (Foxtel), then most channels are going to be over-compressed with visible artifacts. This is the main reason I won't buy it. (It seems to be most prevalent on the music video channels, and that looks like it might be starting to teach producers that such artifacts are acceptable: Pink's latest DVD has been on show at a local department store for a few weeks. It is obviously over-compressed and a poor demonstration of their TVs. They should go back to Pixar movies. But it's more worrying that the DVD's producer thought this was acceptable for a DVD release.) And HDMI/DVI carries uncompressed digital video, not compressed. Wade.

I remember when Foxtel first appeared here many years ago. The only box on offer gave you an RF output. Not even a composite connection. We had several salesmen over the years who my father and I would baffle because we had technical questions they couldn't answer. This was when DVD was just getting established and they were ignoring how people were upgrading their entertainment system to accomodate that. :-) Modern boxes are much more versatile, of course. I hope you enjoy your video goodness. Wade. Q:Is it proper to eat cheeseburgers with your fingers? A:No, the fingers should be eaten separately.
