Sloppy and Incomplete reporting. The "Lab" uses no test equipment when evaluating video equipment and no test patterns"The 921's high-def 1080i output via DVI and component output looked the best to my eye with great contrast and smooth clarity" Who cares about your eye? I have an eye, I have two, I want actual facts from you. They use no standard methodologies or even common criteria when they evaluate gear so no apples to apples comparison is ever possible. In this case they mistakenly report that the TIVO's HDMI output is incompatible with DVI, it is not, and it even comes with an adapter cable, but they make no mention of what will happen to the DVI if the Broadcast Flag is ever enabled on the content. On the fly down conversion? Blacked out picture? What about the Component output? How do they look to your eye? Lots of older HD monitors only have analog component inputs if the DVRs have cheap and awful D to A converters that would be good to know. blah blah. This channel sucks now.

Can G4 put the genie back in the bottle? Is this an admission of failure? Can I have my old job back?
