HDTV

Broadcast and cable television operators use long-haul applications

3D half Side By Side

half because 2 1920px width images are crunched to fit into one 1920x1080 frame

side by side because it's the left and right images next to each other

at least this is how I understand it, I may be wrong

If you are talking about elements, the smallest thing that forms an atom, then it would be many elements consisting of metals and other types.

HDMI is a connector standard designed fo rboth HD and SD video. It will carry both audio and video signals within the cable so it provides a single cable interface between equipment.

It might be worth mentioning that DVI, the digital computer display interface that is gaining popularity is compatible with HDMI other than the fact that DVI does not carry audio. HDMI to DVI cables are available to connect computers to television displays. Therefore, any HDMI cable that has a DVI connector at one end or the other will not carry audio.

Call your cable company, they control which channels you get.

DVDs are coded into one of five regions (1 - 5)depending on where they are sold around the world. Blu-ray discs on the other hand are divided into three regions (a, b, c). The regions are purely commercial and are used to prevent content intended for one market being sold or used in another. Licensing agreements between publishers and rights holders mean there are different restrictions for HD content.

There is no technical reason for the difference in region coding nor for the use of the coding at all.

In all cases it is worth checking the manual for the television before transporting it. Although plasma screens are delicate, most can tolerate an amount of tiliting during transport. Always bear in mind that they have a large and fragile glass panel that can be damaged due to excessive vibration or impact so make sure the television is well protected.

Generally it isn't possible to send two video signals on a single wire although there are instances where it can happen.

Video over Ethernet allows multiple signals to be sent in packets although the nature of Ethernet means that the signals will each have a delay so synchronizing the signals may be difficult.

Video over CAT5 uses converters that take a video signal and modify it to run over a single pair of a CAT5 cable. Normally, two more pairs would be used for stereo audio. If mono audio is used, it is possible to run two composite video signals with audio down one cable. Note that video over CAT5 uses the same cable as Ethernet but employs a very different signal format to Ethernet.

Composite video signals use a single cable but in fact, the signal has three separate video components encoded into the signal. The signals are one for brightness and two for color information. Together they make up a full color signal and can be separated into the three components at the far end. Although the cable carries three signals, remember that they are all parts of the same color signal so this probably doesn't qualify as two signals.

Finally, cable broadcasters use encoding systems to allow numerous signals to be carried on a single cable. The one that enters a house to supply a cable receiver carries many signals with just one being decoded and output by the receiver. This takes complex hardware at both ends so is outside the scope of most home users.

European video content is normally produced at a 50Hz field rate while North American content is usually made in 60Hz. When streaming video, it is much better to use the original frame rate than change it to a different one. Frame rate conversion is one of the hardest conversions to carry out so players and displays will always adapt to the frame rate of the source material if they can.

It may simply be the case that incoming video is 50Hz material so it will get displayed at 50Hz. It might also be the case that the player is set to operate at 50Hz in the menu settings. Depending on the region it comes from, the player may be factory configured to output only at 50Hz. The manual that came with the player may specify this.

You can connect Bose Companion 2 speakers to almost any television. For what I tried now, if your television has at least Jack output(1) or Optical output(2), you are good!

(1) If you want to use the Jack output, you need to buy a "RCA males to Jack male" cable. You plug the RCA males at the back of your speakers and the Jack male in the Jack output or your television (often a headphone input).

(2) If you to use the Optical output of your television, you need to buy a "Digital to Analog converter" (around $70 with Gefen brand). It will convert the Digital output (Optical) into a analog signal for your speakers. These converters rarely provide RCA cables(male/male) and Optical Cable(male/male). So you will have to buy them too.

It might seem an expensive solution, but it can save you if you already have good speakers and your tv doesn't provide Jack ouput.

The Sky+ HD receiver is a combined satellite receiver and hard disk recorder. The box is designed to store and replay programmes is a secure manner and does not allow programmes to be extracted from it other than by playing them out to a television. This is to prevent unauthorised copying of programme material.

The receiver has analogue outputs so it is possible to record the output of the receiver onto another recorder but the output is restricted to standard definition. The HD output is on an HDMI cable which will only connect to other licensed HDMI equipment. HDMI licensed devices do not allow stored content to be extracted so there is no legitimate way to move HD content from a Sky receiver to other storage devices.

In the UK most set top boxes are used for Freeview, the digital television terrestrial service. Set top boxes also include cable and satellite receivers so s set top box may not be a Freeview box.

In the US, digital set top boxes do a similar job but as Freeview is a British service, they won't be Freeview boxes.

The Sony KV-34HS420 is a CRT (tube television) and was available in 2006 - 2007. It was fitted with a standard definition tuner but with an HD input, it was capable of showing HD material at 1080i. The inputs include a DVI which is compatible with HDMI video signals as well as component inputs which may be capable of receiving HD signals. The HD component input is somewhat academic now as no new equipment offers analog HD on component connectors.

The DVI connector is compatible with HDMI but be aware that much of the HDMI content is copy protected and there is no guarantee that the DVI input will decode all HDMI signals.

yes they do :P

It is very unlikely that Sky will do anything to their signals deliberately although technical issues can sometimes cause problems with an image from time to time. The biggest culprit is the weather. Poor atmospheric conditions can occasionally disrupt signal integrity on one or more channels.

As Sky is a subscription service, if payments aren't made to Sky on time, the viewing card can be disabled by them. This will restrict the service to free channels only until the payment problem is resolved.

Yes, you are correct. Witch TVs do, in fact, have less glare. Apparently this is due to the same phenomenon that makes vampires invisible in mirrors. Since witches are supposed to be good with spells, but not necessarily spelling, their televisions produce little to no annoying light reflection. Hope this helps.

Yes, normally an audio player like a CD changer can be connected to a television although there are often better ways to use the player. If the television is the only equipment in a room that has loudspeakers, then it might be the best way to use a CD changer.

The first thing to do is to look for the video and audio inputs on the back of the television. Most of them have a selection of different inputs. The inputs you are after are a pair of RCA sockets (Phono sockets). They will be colored red and white or red and black. They will have another connector next to them for a video input. You can ignore the video input and just hook up the two audio cables to the RCA inputs.

The input will be marked with a name such as "Video 1" for example. Using the hand control, select that input and you should be able to listen to the CD player. Remember that the TV needs to be on even though there won't be a picture. Also, most dedicated stereo systems will produce a better quality sound than a television, so don't expect great hi-fi quality.
