Bronze Member Username: Griffin_andrewsPost Number: 38 Registered: May-05 | Jan / Dennis Thanks for the responses. I pulled three runs of RG6 and a phone line Friday afternoon in anticipation of Saturday AM DTV upgrade. I used my small LG HD set during setup as my other stuff is still boxed untill I finish carpentry on media center later this week. Everything came out beautiful...outstanding picture. GA One note for you DTV users: I researched TIVO Community and other forums before calling DTV about the HD upgrade. Beacuse I've been with them since 1998, they bent AS* over backwards to keep me with their service. I got a GREAT deal by talking with their customer retention folks. If you're interested, shoot me an email and I'll tell you what I got / how I got it. It could be a good savings for you too! |
