Anyone know if TiVo (and which) will work in a 1080 high-definition television without cable or satellite?

We are trying as hell to avoid having to buy "pay television." I've heard of TiVo can work with only one HDTV 1080 p. Is this correct? If so, can I buy a monthly service to work?

TIVO certainly work with a 1080p TV. You want to get high definition capable TIVO and although not a unit 2 of the old series with an analog tuner. Here are your options and http://www.tivo.com/dvr-products/home/index.html depending on the duration of the contract, you will pay at least $ 10 per month. Tivo is useless without a subscription.

Can I run nVidia 8800GTX card in a PCI-Express at 8X instead of 16X? If so, how is the performance affected?

I just purchased a ECS nForce 570 SLIT-A v5.1 Socket 775 Barebone Kit / Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 OEM / 1GB DDR2 PC4200 / CPU Fan / ATX Mid-Tower Case / 500 Watt Power Supply from TigerDirect.com and included an EVGA GeForce 8800 GTX / 768MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card with FREE Dark Messiah Might & Magic PC Game.

I found later on that this Mobo has one x16 PCI Express link but it’s locked at x8.

I’m worried there would be a compatibility problem with the two or that performance would be degraded.

BTW, I’m planning on using this computer for FSX. Any inputs on the use of the 8800GTX with FSX would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Marko

You can run a digital TV, when connected to HDTV converter?

Panasonic (digital). LG HDTV converter hooked to now, we can used with HDTV digital TV converter?

> You can run a digital TV, when connected to HDTV converter? Yes, but most People do not do that. Digital TVs and has a digital tuner built into them. If you use a coupon for the type of Conveter (I guess that's what you mean) you just see a non-HD picture quality. The only reason you might want to use a discount rate converter with an HDTV is if the converter had a tuner that was better for receiving marginal signals. To use an external tuner and still want to see a high definition resolution picture, you need to use HD tuner that extends around $ 160.

Are recording with my recorder is still possible now that I have a Motorola DCT3416 DVR and a HD signal from Comcast?

The cable type coaxial cables connected in this order: 1) The cable in the house is connected to the RF cable. RF OUT 2) The cable is connected to VHF / UHF IN on the VCR. 3) VHF / UHF OUT of the VCR is connected to cable television. And he connected HDMI OUT from the cable box HDMI IN on TV. Watch TV when I select the HDMI input works well. Recording with the DVR works well. However, I am not able to watch TV or record TV with my VCR when I select the cable input (again, the cable entry is where the coaxial cable is in the end.). Should be able to watch TV and record TV with my VCR using coaxial cable signal and the aforementioned configuration Connection?

DCT3416, Sure you can record with your VCR. Are you sure you are connected the way you describe? RF output of the box Cable VHF / UHF in the video? That should work. Can you play a VHS tape? If you can not play a tape that are not connected correctly. When they sign not expect the digital quality. Will be outmoded as VHS. Norm

My receiver / tuner keeps going out?

I have two year old Sony tuner / receiver. Often when I am listening to my stereo, speakers or a CD player only exit. If I give a blow small, usually brings the CD player or new to the sound returns to all speakers (I have 5 speakers). What can I do to fix this problem? I recently changed all the speaker cables because I thought that was the problem. Of course, that does not help, because it is a problem with the receiver. I believe that the security had probably run out. Thank you!

Check the audio cable too.

Need to hook up PS3 to HDTV. TV does not have HDMI hookup, but I have High Def DirecTV. Can I have PS3 in HD?

Can I use a component video cable and some kind of adapter through my digital video output from my PS3? The TV comes in High Definition, but only up to 1080i. There is a DVI slot in the back of my TV that isn’t being used and also a HDMI output on my DirecTV HD-DVR receiver.

Is it even possible to hook up my PS3 in High Def? I can’t use the HDMI cable, because I have no HDMI inputs on the TV or DirecTV receiver, only an output on the receiver.

Yes the PS3 is in high-definition. And if you have an HDTV, you’d want to get the best quality out of your PS3. Since you don’t have an HDMI port, I suggest you buy some component cables for the PS3. The PS3 does work with them and I’m sure your t.v. will take them too. Check these cables out:

They will have as clear quality as HDMI.

TV Antenna – Outdoor?

After the Digital conversion I lost channel 11 and 5 was somewhat choppy. I replaced my very old outdoor antenna with a new Winegard HD8200U Platinum Series High Definition VHF/UHF TV Antenna. I have about 40 feet of cable from antenna to TV. I also have a large tree near the house. Now I have channel 11 but 2 is gone and 5 is worse than before. I live 30 miles from Chicago where most of the broadcasts are from. What can I do? I also remember hearing that every channel will eventually switch to UHF. Is that true? If so when and will that help my reception?

The Winegard HD8200U is a directional antenna, which means that the reception you get will vary based on where it is pointing. Try rotating it until you get the best reception on the channels you want to receive.

Every channel is not switching to UHF, some are still on VHF, and for the most part, after the June 12th analog shutdown they are all on their final frequency.

HDTV? If the path of my satellite box through my Phillips HD DVR, which is in my HDTV, if I have an HDTV?

Will it increase the quality of my image?

In order for a high resolution photo is that you need a high definition source. For example, High Definition TV isn't an HD TV as such, has a TV tuner that receives HD and television shows. Therefore, you will need to remain high definition from the tuner satellite receiver for television. You will have to be on a HD service provider satellite, the path of the satellite box via HDMI (High Definition Media Interface) on the HD DVR after the HDMI out DVR HDMI televisions in addition, if it shows any sign on a TV HDMI, if not come as a high definition signal, which is not converted to HD, so it will not become better.

how to connect both HDMI audio output and a PC speaker audio output on a computer?

My computer is connected to my TV to via HDMI. IALS speakers connect two computers through the outlet. Both work the sound devices, but not together? I tried Realtek HD Audio Manager but once again allowed to play only one of the two. Perhaps there is some software that can help me. Any suggestions? Thank you.

Well, another Audio Setup form is through a separate cable RC. You can use a signal splitter from your PC, use one end of the cable to connect RC to TV, and the other PC speakers. Then you can get sound for the PC and the TV. I hope not to lose there. Oh … and if you have speakers on board or simply want the TV sound, a signal splitter is not necessary

Will my Vizio HDTV with digital tuner decode more channels after the DTV transition?

Now, for example, it only receives the analog signal, and a few hd signals that are broadcast along with the analog(ie: channel 9-1 is WGNHD and it looks great). My question is that ESPNHD is on 173, which is not readable w/o the Comcast box. Will that change after the Digital Transition so that I can receive higher number channels without the Comcast box?

The FCC digital transition mandate will affect the full power, over-the-air broadcast stations. These tend to be your local channels like ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox and WGN as an example. The FCC does not mandate that your cable or satellite operator carry the HD versions of these local channels, though many operators do as you have seen. The FCC does mandate that the cable or satellite operators carry these local channels in an analog format as long as they offer any analog channels. You will not see the premium channels (like ESPN HD) after the digital transition because of the FCC digital transition mandate. Your access to premium channels is strictly a business decision make by your cable or satellite operator and is not governed by the FCC digital transition mandate.
