Yeah. :) I would miss cable if I had it disconnected. :cry: Hm... Cable... it cost money. :cry:! Only if Comcast wasn't so expensive. :S

Yeah, it's one of those things. I think it depends on what you can get out of it really, if it's worth it and you are willing to spurge.

Yeah, it is worth it to me though. ^_^; To bad basic cable is getting more and more basic. :cry: Now if you don't have those new flat screen TVs, you'll need a converter box for the cable now or something. :S

Hmm. I wonder what's going on in here. O:

Not much, Shoplifter been captured by the "CLAW" :shock: Refer to page 45 or 44. :S

Yeah... what I would give for BBC America... even if they give you the dregs of their programming on a constant cycle (oh, I wasn't talking about you TopGear, don't worry :hug:)
Things just keep getting more complicated with modern technology, don't they?

Yes they do, Biggles. I mean the region encoding on DVDs are just ugh. That is why I got a multi-region DVD player. ;) It was $70 + free shipping, but it was well worth it. ^_^;

WOOT! I have one of those too. Best investment ever, I should say. Now I don't have to wait until British things get released on region 1. Plus I can indulge in a smattering of other things from Asia.

Yeah. I have a question Biggles, when you watch British DVDs that are encoded Region two on a multi-region DVD player on an American Television, does the Picture look blocky? My DVD player has a picture converter thing, but I want to know the answer to this question. ^_^;

Uh, I don't think so. The TV we have in the basement is oldish, and I don't know what the DVD player has in way of features (Besides karaoke. It has that. But I have yet to figure out how to use it.) But my British DVDs are gorgeous on it.

Thanks! :D I have a Karaoke on my DVD player as well. ^_^; I think we might have the same one. If your DVD player has a strange plug, then yeah... we have the same one. ;)

Lol, I never really noticed the plug... other than the fact that it fits into my outlet, which of course is a good thing. Is yours the TopSmart brand? That's what mine is.

Nope it isn't Biggles. Mine is a Pioneer brand. It is only suppose to be sold in Asia and the Middle East. It can't be used in Japan. :S

Yeah, Japan happens to be a region that is usually found in the west... I think it's region 2?

Yeah, but my DVD player is a Region 2 though. ;) I think it is one of those special Region 2 DVD players (It plays region 1, 2, and 4 so far. I just have to test three and six on it later. :P).

What I mean is, because of the plug used on my DVD player, it can't be used in Japan. :( It had a warning on the box about being used in Japan. So I guess it is safe to use it in the US. :D Or else I couldn't had bought it. XD! It also came with a converter plug to be able to be used in the US. ^_^;

Oh I see. Those plugs are confounding. Hooray for converter plugs. I have a few of them.

o.o I don't know anything about wires and plugs, other than not to chew on them.

lol... That's kind of funny Dystopia. :P But not really though. I learned a lot about plugs and stuff from being a nerd. ^_^; **coughs** Internet **coughs**

Aha. I'm on the internet a lot, but that hasn't taught me much about plugs.

Oh I see. :S I had to learn because I needed to know if my DVD player will work in the US. XD!

xD Ah. Are you moving to the US?

Oh! That would explain why you were unsure about how the picture would work on a US television set. You know, if you are a Briton, I suggest we just swap places. I'm itching to get out of this joint.

I live in Florida. ;) I was ordering my DVD player from eBay from this shop in Chicago Illinois.

@ Cardinal Biggles- I only asked about the picture thing, because some DVD players don't have a up/down grader converter. Even if they do, it depends on the megabytes. :S My DVD player can up/down grade from PAL to NTSC. So it works for the US, even though it wasn't made for US market. :shock: I also heard from another board that PAL DVDs don't show up right on American televisions. That is the main reason why I asked. ;)

:/ you got my hopes up for a while there.

I should go to Europe. Its cheaper to go to college in Europe. XD;
