TVs

I keep seeing 'early 2008' for these DTV-analog converter things but can't find a date or any further detail. 2008 is 2 months away, shouldn't they be saying something?

Does anyone have any information on when I can buy one of these?

Thanks!

I have a 20" Sanyo CRT tv. Picture is excellent and the sound from the speaker is great also. However, when I turn on the TV there is a very loud buzzing sound, which drowns out the tv sound and makes watching it unbearable. Is it a bad relay or something? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

As putting yout TV on standby still consumes some energy, I bought an extra socket, so I can turn the TV's power completely off.( The TV itself can only be put on standby, but not completely off. )
Now is it bad for my Plasma TV (42 inches) if I turn the power compeltely off at night, instead of putting it on standby?

I can't decide weather to buy a HD ready TV or just keeping my normal non HD TV and buying a cable which turns it into HD. Do you guys know if you get the same quality from doing the cheap way? (buying the cable)

This TV maybe an old one (coughs...CRT...coughs) but it has superb picture quality. Then, it became ill. The picture is kind of jumpy/bouncy (screen goes up-down-up-down like a trampoline). Is there a remedy to this?

If there is no solution, should I have it repaired or replaced? Why?

I recently heard my analog TV won't work after February 2009 and I need to buy a new TV. Would it be cheapest to buy a converter box, a SDTV, or a HDTV? It really confuses me.

Ok, Right now I have a 20 something inch TV from like 1983. It only weighs like 200 pounds so as far as old TV's go it's not bad. So what's the problem? I would like to get a newer TV that won't break my VERY small bank account. Something around $100 and over 20 inches. Does such a thing even exist? Really would like to know where I could get something like this. Does the black market have a website? LOL

My old TV just died. I need to buy a new one. I'm clueless about the TVs on the market now. I know I want a flat screen TV, but I don't know the difference between a HD, plasma, or regular TV. Can someone explain the differences in TVs on the market now? What would you suggest buying? Cost *is* a factor. I don't want the cheapest on the market, but I don't want to spend a fortune, either.

I just bought an HDMI switcher from best buy terk is the model. I bought it so i could use HDMI instead of HD cables. But does using an HDMI switcher hurt the tv's resolution since it has to go into the switcher than into the tv? Help

ok so i just today went and got a 26 inch isignia from bestbuy. The picture looks amazing with my 360 so clear and crisp.But then the speakers the make like a rattling noise like on gears of war when i shot at the end of the shot it makes like a pop/cracking noise and that didnt happen with my other tv.Also in halo it makes a crack/pop noise in the campaign when someone is saying somthing over the microphone or w/e
In oblivion it will do it also once in a while is there somthing wrong with the speakers ? or do my speakers just pick up the sound amazingly? and if there is a problem with speakers i will go exchange and if it happens again i will get a 22 inch samsung monitor

I had good luck with this a few years ago at a different house. I moved into a new one without an antenna... I was wondering if you could still use those really old big antennas to pick up HD... Has anyone else had any luck with this?

I live in the city where the only television choices was either 80$/monthly cable or 25$/month dish so I went with dish only to find out the Dish didn't come with local channels. But I'm an NFL fanatic which means I can't watch football on Sunday now...Is there any other way to get local channels without paying a termination fee and getting the cable? Possibly with an amplified antenna? Are there any other things I'm not thinking of?

Some movies do, some movies don't.
But, the older movies and television shows have bars at the sides.

if i buy a 26 inch hdtv now and take it off to college in 10 months do you think that hdtvs will still be the biggest thing at that time or should i wait to see if something better comes out.

does a outdoor attenna get any hd channels and does the channels come in like actual hi def channels. will i be able to watch espn and football games in hi def with this. will i have all the channels that i would get with cable from timewarner cable. is this service free then.

is it true that standard channels that are not high def capable come in worse on a hdtv.

pros and cons of hdtv

My folks need to get a new TV. They now have a set top freeview box type of thing & still use a Video recorder to record from the TV ( they are in their 80's & a bit behind with technology) If they get a new TV & a DVD player/recorder can they record from the set top box.... someone suggested that you cant.... I'm a bit in the dark with all this myself & dont want them to waste money on the wrong things.... what do they need to get....... they only want simple/basics ????

Would this tv with game mode running

be better than this tv running

http://www.johnlewis.com/Christmas/Televisions/Televisions/LCD+TV/1284/230445783/Product.aspx

I guess I'm asking if the game mode in the samsung tv produces better graphics during ps3 gaming/surfing compared to the sony tv.

Both would have HDMI cables hooked up.
