Default Re: Just Bought a New TV

I bought my big 35" RCA down. It was before the Plasma/LCD invasion. When I decided to go for the 42" LCD, I was wondering how I was going to get rid of the beast. I asked my lawn guy if he wanted it (For free) and he came over and took it out so I could put the LCD in the next day.

Last month I decided to get the box so I could do HDTV. Then the fun began. I use Closed Caption (CC). It took several trips to the internet to figure that one out. Still not happy because I cannot get the block letters like the non-HDTV stations. Am going to to a chat with COMCAST to see if they can help - but I doubt it. CC is a mystery to them.

Have you noticed that whenever they put out new technology, they screw up the great technology that preceded the new stuff? PIC-in-PIC? I loved PIC-in-PIC on my RCA. I find that that is only available in tube TVs. Station recall? Only on some remotes. Everything from recording programs to watching them changes every time you upgrade your systems.

Just wanted to say my piece. Thanks for reading.
