No, I am not PR, I just proof read my stuff.  I know what you mean about the colors, i just like mine turned up a little more to have the image stand out, but it can be adjusted. Second, I have seen Samsung and Sony and was going to buy one of them, but what I meant by not seeing the Philips I meant I saw it in the store with a split connection that feeds hundreds of tvs and very bright overhead lights.  Getting it home and watching a blu-ray movie it in a dark room is a diferent story, I really believe that this TV is ahead of its time. Tvs I buy are either Sony or Panasonic, but not after this one.  I am not a Philips fanboy, as a matter of fact, Philips was losing it with that Amilight stuff, and Philips is not known for their TVs at all, but I really think people should check it out. Anyway, put it next to your best set, compare, and then shoot it down. Thanks guys.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[zoran]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 24th 2008 2:31PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[1.

Is it something that Dell or HP could do?

On my main system, all sources are HDMI, and go through an HDMI 5x1 switch.  The output of the switch goes to a 1x2 HDMI splitter.  Output 1 of the splitter goes into my main TV.  Output 2 goes to the bedroom TV with a 50' HDMI cable.  The HDMI splitter can be daisy chained so more HDMI capable TVs could be included.  Obviously IR distribution is added to send IR back to the main system for the HDMI switching and source components.  So in the bedroom I can watch the TiVo, Blu-Ray and Comcast box that sit in the living room.  I can see Ben rolling his eyes right now and saying "but that is way to complicated".  It gets more complicated.  The IR distrib. is done via a Channel Modulator setup I used to use as primary distrib. of TV signals.  It send the IR back over coax.  The channel mod is still in play and sends the TiVo and Comcast box analog outputs on a couple channels via coax for the other standard def TVs and for IR distrib.  It is complicated.  But it works for me.   Also, all that HDMI is working without any handshake problems.....]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2008 1:21PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA["From on box" should be "From one box"]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2008 1:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Hey Ben, how about posting your list of things to do when setting up a Media Center.  If you already did, sorry, I missed it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ken P]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 25th 2008 1:29PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have been a listener for long time and love the podcast. I have two comments/suggestions about the podcast. I think the things you cover in the podcast are great but the covering the comments part is my least favorite and to me not the main part of why you do the show. I think it would follow much better if you cover comments at the end of the podcast and just just jump right into the main topics. <br><br>I also love the listings of what time each part of the program starts that you have on the blog. I know that it is included in the podcast description but that does not show up on the iPhone or iTouch. If the program list is added as lyrics though they show up when you tap the Now Playing screen and it works great.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chris]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2008 11:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Wanted to add something on Sony saying blu-ray pricing wasn't going to drop soon.  All CE producers say this stuff.  They don't want you waiting for a price drop.  If you know the price is going to drop 33% in a month, most people will wait that month out.<br><br>On Uverse, I thought about trying to switch from Comcast (since its comcraptic), but changed my mind after reading so many reviews on bad image quality.  They are already planning on adding a 3rd HD signal by compressing more as well, so the image quality will most likely get even worse.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Spiza]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2008 6:56PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ben and Steve mentioned in the show the impending Microsoft announcement coming in October. I received a message from Xbox Live noting that live will be down all day on 29 September. I wonder if the two are connected, and if so, is this the rumored dashboard update promised earlier this summer.<br><br>Any Comments.<br><br> ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dallas Knox]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 26th 2008 9:58PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ben,<br><br>My HTPC (Sage, but it doesn't really matter) with ArcSoft TMT - starts playing a BD in about 5-7 seconds. My only problems have been physically damaged disks (scratch resistant coating my a$$). I do LPCM, letting ArcSoft do the decoding and sending it out analog to my receiver and it sounds great. Bitstreaming is a PITA currently, but why not just use analog? I do use AnyDVDHD though. I'd never think of going stand alone...did they get faster?<br><br>PF]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[PaulF]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 29th 2008 5:53PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[First 20 minutes of the show was kinda boring. Blu-Ray talk = instant fast forward.  On to the good stuff.  Ben are you going to write that post about time shift dvr programming soon?  The biggest problem with OTA DVRs is the lack of a programming guide.  I would pick up a simple dvd recorder with a hard drive for my mom if there was a simple way to setup recording of shows. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Larry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 30th 2008 11:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Engadget HD Podcast 103 - 09.24.2008]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/24/engadget-hd-podcast-103-09-24-2008/</guid><description><![CDATA[Proof positive you should not post a comment before listening to the rest of the show.  I think the smart thing Microsoft could do with Media center is to sell an add on for the Xbox 360 that has built in tuners/hard drive that gives you a media center in a box.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Larry]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 30th 2008 11:59AM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
