sky box

[redrobbo]

hi
I ve just bought a new 32 " LCD tv
Ive got it working with a signal from my sky box
but I was wondering..........

should I change the sky box signal in any way ?
before it was going into the old fashioned... analogue... tube
tv
Now the tv is lcd and digital .....
surely before my sky box was converting a digi signal into an
analogue signal....

thanks for any comment

It's still converted to analogue form.

The only thing I would suggest is to set picture settings to 16:9 and RGB.

To get the best improvement, assuming that the TV is HD Ready, is to get yourself Sky HD and run to the TV with HDMI cable.

Thanks for the feedback
RGB that sounds interesting... but where exactly do
you set that ?

Youre right about HD thought, I was in Comet and
wow... the HD pics of Wimbledon !!!!

A couple of years back I remember seeing the sky football
pics and noticed a fuzziness on the footballers running..
I thought... they are paying £36 a month for that fuzzy quality !!!!

But it looks like HD TV is the holy grail...
(and Ive just bought the bog standard sky box too ! )

Looks like we r'e in a 5 or 6 year wait till everything is HD
every broadcast etc...
then HD DVD recorders...
but wow, when it comes it will be awesome

( maybe it's a bit like the change from... wot was it
425 lines to 625 lines or something....)
Looks like we r'e eternally waiting for something better just round the corner

There's loads of channels already HD on Sky, I have n't got it though.

Just the handful of FTA HD channels available, which I can record onto a USB HDD, as far as I'm concerned recording HD on to silver coloured disk is unnecessary. Blueray movies are stunning though too. I shall never buy another DVD, jsut go straight for Blueray.

LOL, it was 405 lines actually.

I remember when I was a kid, and we had an old B/W TV from somewhere with 405 lines, it worked too as they were still transmitting a compatible signal up till about 1985.
