When I was home for the holidays, my own father in-law had his 50" Sony RPTV, HD cable box, and HD service from them hooked up with composite cables. So close!

To top things off, he got his son a PS3 for Christmas and I had to help them hook it up to his 32" LCD through an RF modulator..........

It's amazing how many people think that they are hooked up to HD just because they have an HDTV. Your own family may be thinking this same thing! It's your job to help them! ]]>Jan 29th 2008 11:34AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/Jan 29th 2008 11:33AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/Jan 29th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/Jan 29th 2008 11:46AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/Jan 29th 2008 11:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/Jan 29th 2008 1:47PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/I've been looking at that TV.

In the USA, 720p is used by ABC, Fox Broadcasting Company and ESPN because the smoother image is desirable for fast-action sports telecasts, whereas 1080i is used by CBS, NBC, HBO, Showtime and Discovery HD due to the crisper picture particularly in non-moving shots.]]>Jan 29th 2008 5:58PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/29/how-to-make-sure-youre-watching-the-super-bowl-xlii-in-hd/
