    Yeah ya need a real snazzy plama to use digital otherwise it just dumbs down the signal to SD. Digital tv is great tho and its true would be hard to go back to normal. Waiting for the motorsport year to start should be something special.

    Yeah i had one...TEAC $200...came with 12 month warranty, lasted 14 months and died. They wanted $186 to "fix" it. "Hmmm.......no", was my response as they now retail for $150 brand new. So now im watchin shows on me widescreen old skool styles.
    They said to fix it they needed to replace the "motherboard". when i got it back i opened it up and the motherboard was the only internal part!! It housed everything, the only thing i would have kept was the casing and the plugs on it. So basically the were replacing it old for new, except for the original casing on it and charging me an extra $36 for it.

    I love watching HD on our plasma tv, the quality is awesome.
    Some people say less talk more action, i say more torque less traction.

    Marketed as 'Convergence' equipment.

    Example of capability:- Stellite TV via both C and K Band - the latter using an Austar card, Terrestrial HD, DVD play and record, MP3's and various other media files.
    Purchase a hazard-warning triangle for your car to improve the warning given to approaching traffic at both crash scenes and vehicle breakdowns. Keep it in the boot. I suggest Hella Part Number 2901 - $70, OR http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...215554#details. Accepted under AS3790. http://www.transport.wa.gov.au/media...eSafePart4.pdf
