Default "Hype" Definition TV [HDTV] : Give Me an 'i'... Give Me an 'p'....

My Sony Wega Trinitron has the usual Audio and Video jacks on the back
and there is one S-Video jack and the threaded jack where my DirecTV
cable is screwed on there and there is also one ATSC (what is ATSC?)
threaded jack on the back of the tv set.There are two Video jacks and
one Audio jacks under a little flip up panel on the front.I bought that
tv set at a Cowboy Maloney store on December 5,2006.

I have six or seven WebTV set top boxes and about that many wireless
keyboards and hand held remotes, they all work too.I have looked yet,
but I know there is a fuse inside of those WebTV boxes.

When I bought my first WebTV box on October 15,1999, I also bought a new
27 inch screen RCA CRT tv set, for my WebTV.It had ProScan.About two
something years ago, that RCA tv set kicked the bucket, it wouldn't turn
on at all, other than make a Bump noise when I tried to turn it on.I
think some capacitors or something was leaking, there was some messy
sticky stuff underneath the tv set.I set it out front for the garbage
truck to pick it up.I went to the Walmart store on Highway 80 in
Clinton, (about four or five miles West of doggy's couch) and I bought a
Sansui 27 inch screen CRT tv set, for my WebTV.

ProScan . RCA's top-of-the-line . Nice try , designed to shut down in
case of nearly ANY malfunction and they all needed memory ic
replacements ! Bad memories-- most of them RCA and GE Tee-Vees found
a well deserved place in the dumpster ... S-video was an early
enhancement to raise the resolution to 480(i) lines . Analog days'
"HD" , sort of . My WebTV box has an S-video output in the back .
One time I hooked up a v-e-r-r-r-y e-x-p-e-n-s-i-v-e 6 foot S-video
jumper (by Kimber Kable) . It actually cost twice what I paid for the
WebTV and the WebTV keyboard combined ; the result was quite
interesting to see on a 35" 'high resolution' CRT monitor . The
devil is always in the detail ...
