best hdtv picture 2013 image
Christian
I have comcast cable, but only 2 digital adapters. There are 3 regular televisions in the house and 2 hdtvs. Everyone in the house loves to watch cable. I have had people tell me that hdtvs don't need the adapters to recieve all channels. Is this true? If so, how can I get all channels on hdtvs?
Answer
The Comcast DTA (Digital Transport Adapter) is intended for customers who have the "Expanded Basic" channel package and an old analog TV. It allows you to receive the pay-TV channels (like History, Food Network, ESPN, etc.) that they're removed from analog basic cable (no box) to their digital packages that require a box.
Since the output of the DTA is strictly analog, it's not intended for use with HDTVs, although it will work--the picture will simply be standard-def analog. A waste of an HDTV's capability.
You can get your local broadcast stations in analog on Comcast with no box at all--just connect the cable directly to the antenna jack. If your HDTVs have a built-in QAM tuner (check their specs), you'll also receive any unencrypted digital channels that Comcast has on the cable, some of which will probably be in HD. But don't expect much--again, just about all of their cable-only channels have been moved to digital-only.
None of this is permanent, however. After 2012, cable companies are not required to have anything on a "no box" basis. Enjoy it while you can, and save your money for 2013.

What Tv should i buy?
IDK
Hi I am looking to buy a new tv, but I am having some problems. I want to buy the panasonic vt60 for the colors, motion, and black levels. The only thing keeping me from buying it is the line bleed, fan noise, and green dithering that show up in the picture where it isn't completely dark. I bought the panasonic gt50 last year and loved it but it had the problems I listed. The green dithering would have been acceptable if it couldn't have been seen from a normal viewing distance while in THX mode. Anyways now i am considering led TVs and was wondering what 2013 led tv can best compete with plasma? Right now I am considering the Sony 900a model. Is there a better 1080p Led tv than the sony?
Answer
The Samsung 8000 series would be a much better tv than the Sony. Pesonally, I have nevver owned a Sony product that have last more than 3 years. Purchased the first DVD players model 7000 and the 7700 both are the price of $1,100 each and the first HDTV 34" CRT and they all did not last more than e years. The new Panasonic ZT series Plasma tv is reviewed by Home Theater Magazine. This is compared to the old Pioneer Elite KURO tv. I would still recommend the Panasonic. I do use 4 Panasonic Plasma tv along with 3 LCD tv and never had one issue. Hope this will help you out.
