My husband said he read that all tv's will have to be able to pick up digital, hdtv signals by 2009. We want to purchase a new tv later this week, but I'm not sure what to look for on the box. What SPECIFICALLY am I supposed to look for to know I have purchased one that will comply with the guidelines for 2009?

I have seen a few that say something like 'set up for current and future use'. I am assuming that is referring to the 2009 guidelines, but not sure. Do I look for one that says it is HDTV ready, HDMI ready, analog/digital ready? I thought the analog wouldn't work after 2009. I'm lost. Please help.

Will the warranty be valid if you do not buy from a shop?

I have found some cheap on a trading site but a bit wary. Don't know if I should wait for them to come back in stock in the shops or risk it.

I found the term 'true' being used for Hz ratings as they were for HD. So can someone cut through the bs... thanks.

I always used to buy Sony equipment but wish to buy more locally. Not up for discussion as this is also my own little way of protesting at the continued unecessary hunting of whales.
The question is "does anyone in the european union make televisions"? If you wish to make smart comments regarding the quality of those tv's thats fine by me and remember the whaling protest is personal to me - if you are OK with it, keep buying Jap stuff and I won't knock you. Thanks in advance to anyone who gives me a serious answer as I need a new TV before Christmas.

Hi I am going to buy a Toshiba HD-DVD player & I was checking in the web but, it does not say that it comes with HD connection cables inside. I also do have Monster HDMI-DVI cable.


Please let me know & thank you!

I want to get my husband a surround sound system that is compatible with his xbox 360 for Christmas, but do not know what I need or what is a good deal, or isn't.

I found this system at walmart.com
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=5280864#Item+Description

For those in the know, is that a good system? If not, what should I get?

Thank you!

this camera is old, 30-40 years old. i'm trying to figure out if I can still use this one or if I should just get a new one. i'm fooling around with it a little and I find that even though i turn the lens to 0.5 ft, looking through the viewfinder is blurry until like 1 foot away. with my digital camera, i can bring the camera up close in macro mode and get a great detailed shot. do i need another lens or what?

If I buy a CableCARD on ebay that was used on another Cable TV network from like NY can I use it on the one down here in FL Bright House? I'm guessing I would have to program it to make it work down here on my TV with a CableCARD slot. Is there a program I could use to program it if I put the CableCARD in my laptops slot.

Also is a CableCARD just a Flash card with the decryption info on it?

Thanks in advance
