Okay, Well I have Logitech z-5500 speakers and a RNG110 HD box. The box has an optical output, so does my speakers, and TV. Whenever I switch to HDMI2 (xbox) The sound from HDMI(TV) is still on. I just switched the optical from my box and speakers to my tv and speakers, and now it works just xbox for HDMI2. I’m wonderinmg how I can plug it into my HD box, an just press HDMI2 and it’ll mute HDMI1. I’m thinking personally I need to hookup my xbox to my HD box somehow.

Any suggestions?

tv is 2 y/o it was intermittently shutting off for approx 2 weeks but would come back on right away. now it has gone off and will not come back on. the only sign of life now is the blue standby light. please help! i do have some technical skills but no knowledge of televisions so if someone could walk me through the repair i would appreciate it greatly. thanks for reading this. and happy holidays to all!

With the ontogeny popularity of HDTV, more and more viewers are moving to high definition television. And to keep up with this, broadcasters are at a faster pace than ever making high def programs.
Since there’s a deadline of Feb 17, 2009 for all broadcasters to shift to HD, the popularity of this fashion of shifting has grown. Individuals stuck with their old television sets that are not compatible with this new technology, have to get themselves a digital-to-analog converter or purchase an high definition antenna!
If you decide on buying a HD tv, then it is prefererd that you do considerable research to know what exactly is acquirable in the marketplace and what you need to obtain out about hd.
Once you have purchased your set, you will need to decide a cable system that offers you digital cable service and that Hi def comes part of their assemblage. Be knowing tho’ that if you opt a Cable/Dish provider to get high def you may be billed more for your local stations.
The common fee for getting your local hd stations via your provider is around $10/month over and above your normal program. The simplest and cheapest way (free) of getting high definition delivered to your house is via an antenna. That’s right , just the initial expenditure of an hdtv antenna will be all that is spent to acquire your hd signals!
The choices you have for an HD television are astounding. You have plasma, LCD (liquid crystal display), DLP (digital light processing) or LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon), all of which are types of monitors.

But be ready, you will pay a price for these high definition sets, particularly the large screens of 55″. If you are hunting for something less expensive and not willing to compromise on the caliber, then look to LCD displays that are 42 inches or less in size.
In the end everyone crossways the country will eventually have to make the transformation to HDTV! Either by choosing to get the high def signals via their Cable/Dish organization or as likely most of the 30+ million consumers with the old-fashion type analog antenna will choose to get up on their roofs and trade it out for the new designed HDTV antenna.
