TVs

I have a new LG LCD tv capable of 1080p. I have a HD DVR box from my cable company, and all of the HD programming was running at 1080i on the TV via component cables, but I bought an HDMI cable in place of the components, and now it will only do 720p via HDMI when it did 1080i via component. What am I doing wrong? I know my HDMI cable will do up to 1080p. I don't expect to get 1080p from the HDMI since the signal is not 1080p, but why would it go down to 720p when I was getting 1080i with an inferior technology?

At the moment I live in a valley with really bad reception. I have no access to an outside arial and have a little portable arial which is pretty useless. Does anyone out there have any suggestions on how I can improve reception as all I do is watch dvd's as it is so bad and I want to watch all the wonderful Christmas crap that's on. Thanks.

(bare with me here I am only 17 and not very smart with all of this). I currently own an RCA, rear-projection, HDTV. It's 40 something inches in size. But anyways, our family purchased an HDTV and I was excited mostly so I could game on it with my ps3 and 360. Because I hear HDTV works wonders with those. Anywho, I can't find the RGB plug ins on the TV! I mean it's HD, so it should have the HDMI inputs right? (I think that's what they're called, I'm talking about the green and blue inputs, etc, etc.) I thought all HDTV's had those. I'm disappointed now though. I have the cables and everything and am ready to play these badboys on HD and then I look and the TV doesn't have the right inputs. What is wrong with this picture!?

I have heard that lower resolutions are better when you are sitting closer to your TV. I am currently running 1080i with xbox 360 games but I am thinking of using 720p after hearing about better appearance when sitting closer. What do you think?

Why do TV Networks feel the need to crowd up the screen with little advertisements during the Movie. Can't they wait until the commercials? Am I the only one that finds this annoying?

Are video games fine for Plasma TVs or is there risks in burning out the TV playing xbox360 or ps3s on them?

I'm buying a TV this evening. I'm torn between a 32 inch JVC and a 32 inch Panasonic (about $100 difference in cost). My question is about the service contract. 4 year contract is $100. I usually get contracts on portable stuff, but am wondering if it is worth getting it on an LCD? Are they fairly reliable? Am I wasting the money or is it a waste not to get it? Thanks!

I recently bought a house and it has a satellite dish already installed. I dont have a subscription to satellite nor do I intend on getting one, as I don't watch much TV.
I was told that I can get a FTA box and hook it up to the dish that is already in place, and pick up satellite signals that way, without paying a subscription charge.
Will this work? Is there a certain type of box that I need to get (I live in Canada)? Do I need one for each TV in the house, or can I run cable from one box to multiple TVs? And will I have to reset something in it once in a while (get a new card or something) or will it just... work? I have a custom media-center type computer, so is it possible to hook up the signal to my PC?

I really don't know anything about satellite TV, so any help I can get is much appreciated.

I have to but some modulator, but I need to know if my tv has an f plug or an s plug. It only has one place for my cable to go in, and no place to put dvd or vcr cables.

Okay so I got a Sharp Aquos TV that was hooked up while I was at work. I came home and everything, i.e. my Comcast DVR and Samsung DVD player, were hooked up. However, I am going through input select and set up and all that fun stuff and I cannot get anything to come in on the TV. Granted, I don't know what HDMI means so that might be important, but basically, does anyone know how to set up a Sharp Aquos TV to work with Digital Cable, and if so...HELP!

The picture with the HDMI cable for my video games on PS3 Is amazing, but whenever i watch regular cable, it seems kind of out of focus. I messed with the picture settings, but i was wondering if i need to buy anything for a better picture. I replaced a 480p tv with this full 1080p and quite honestly, the picture for regular television is better on the 480. Please help, and thank you!
