1. What's the first thing you watched? (nt)

[MikeG]

2. "Reign of Fire" in a premium channel. Good Movie.

Then I tried the music channels.
Especially New Wave and Electronica.

9. I like Electronica and

the Dance and R&B stations. Enjoy your new toy!

3. How much are you paying?

$60/mo in my area. (that's a 2 year old figure, methinks it's $70 by now.)

[MikeG]

4. $72.00/mo. with Adelphia. There is no more regular cable, just digital.

[Deja Q]

7. OUCH!!!!

My condolances.

The cable industry is nothing more than a segregation of mini-monopolies. There is no true competition and they can charge what they like.

I wonder if they're hiring...

5. I tried Digital once. I got rid of it because it wasn't worth the cost..

$75.00 a month for the cheapest Digital package. :eyes:

6. Do you feed S-video or Component video to a high resolution monitor?

By high resolution monitor, that would include an "HDTV" monitor or any more conventional TV that has AUX inputs. My TV is rated for 600 lines resolution. I used "composite" (RCA phono jacks, the oldest style) to feed digital satellite video to my TV. It was much better than broadcast or cable.

Did you get a DVR/Tivo like device to store shows digitally?

I'm as excited as you are!!

[MikeG]

8. Just have a regular 30 inch TV. Am thinking about upgrading.

Don't know much about TV's. Been concentrating too much on computers.

[Kolesar]

10. it would probably benefit from using one of the AUX inputs

As opposed to using the "TV antenna" input, which is a threaded connector (type F).

11. What are you watching right now? (nt)

[MikeG]

12. A music channel playing New Wave music and DU,

[bigwillq]

13. Well of course DU

We only have DC on the TV downstairs. I wish I had it in my room.

I love the Game Show Network.
