  1. Re:Coax input required? by Swave+An+deBwoner · · Score: 1 · on DTV Coupon Program Out of Money

    That's required for "analog passthrough", so I would think that any CECB that provides that feature would have coax output.

    I know that the Zenith DTT901 has coax output: http://www.zenith.com/products/set-top-atsc-digital-to-analog-converter-box/DTT901

    "I suspect the only connection to the Heathkit we love is the name"

    Zenith bought Heath way back in 1979.
    The only connection of that Zenith to the current Zenith is the name, as they hit hard times, sold a majority stake to LG in the 90s, went bankrupt in '99 and were absorbed by LG. About their only "product" at the time was HDTV patents.

    Am I the only one here who didn't know Zenith still existed? Zenith's web site states that Zenith is now LG. Wikipedia agrees.

    I believe that is the TV I own. It appears to do 1080i, albeit in a reduced area, as it must add letterboxing to make it fit. Either way, I won't be "enjoying" the 360's HD output, as I won't be owning one.

    I always wonder why one would want YPbPr so badly...
    Are there many TVs in your country that support YPbPr and not RGB?
    Over here, RGB is always there, and YPbPr often is (becoming more prevalent).

    Well... I'm not sure where "your country" and "over here" are... but...

    Here in the U.S. I have a very nice TV... not a projection or LCD/Plasma system... a real, honest to goodness TV... with YPbPr... and no RGB.

    It is made by Zenith. (37 inch inteq series... a quick jaunt to their site shows that they don't make 'em this big any more)

    According to their site:
    Component Video is the purest and best signal form available. Component video divides the video signal up into its three components: blue (PB), red (PR) and luminance (Y). By dividing the signal this way, you get a clearer image that provides for improved resolution and overall better color detail.
    This was for their model # C32F33 32 inch television.
  6. Re:My requirements before I buy a (H)DTV by grumling · · Score: 1 · on FCC Speeds Up Digital TV Signal Deadlines
    Because the FCC, who represents the public interest, has decided that the switch to digital TV will be a better use for the public airwaves.

    Well, the FCC and Zenith and RCA, who wanted to come up with a new system that they would hold the patents to, thus destroying the foreign competition (IE Sony). Great how all that worked out just as they planed.

    The information on TV reception mentions Analog and Digital reception. For Digital, they talk about DVB digital Satellite TV, which is used in Europe. In the US, we use a terrestrial broadcast mechanism (ATSC).

    Zenith/LG has an . But it doesn't do satellite..

    Tivo has been rumored to have an HD/ATSC DirecTivo for forever. Who knows if it will ever come out.

  8. two to three years by gpinzone · · Score: 2 · on 15" OLED Display Prototype

    It's worth it just for the photograph. Maybe best to hold off on a plasma TV...

    You want to hold off two to three years for a 15 OLED screen when you can get a 60" plasma display now? I don't think so, Timothy.
