Thanks, Mr. Profit, your suggestion is working great.

I posted the other day about hooking up my bedroom tv(proview HX263) as a computer monitor. You said use what you have so I bought a VGA/DVI adapter and did just that. Using 1280x768 the display is absolutely astonishing. I'm sorry I upset Stewart by posting about my cheapo tv but it is a good second tv and displays HDTV beautifully via Component Video Cables and a Dish Model 811. Stewart, I do have a 42" Pioneer Plasma in my den. But all of you are right about people not buying HDTV because they don't know how to display it. When I found my big plasma at Walmart(it was$800 cheaper than the hoity-toity high end store) I asked the clerk (who obviously had the iq of a turnip) to get some help and turn the big Pioneer around so I could see the rear connections clearly. She said why and I said I wanted to see if it had HDMI or DVI connections or both so I know what kind of cables to purchase and she said all you need is a coax connection from the cable co. I called the managers office on my cell and got somebody to help turn the tv where I could look at it. On the other hand I got the Proview at a high end store because they had it hooked up to basic cable coax and with a $1625.00 tag for a 26" widescreen LCD it wasn't going anywhere with a crappy picture. So I wrote them a check for $759, blood, guts and feathers and if they could see this picture they would lay an egg. As everyone is ,I'm sure tired of my ranting, I'll run along, and Mr. Norrie, I'm really happy you got the home theatre of your dreams, now if you'd just let my grandchild mail you her spelling book everybody would be happy.
