HD-Question for PC.

you HAVE to have an hd source to get hd.
and not all games are hd compatiable very few actually.
or none that i can think of.

oh and you might post in the hardware section, as this place is
DANGEROUS .

i dont know for sure about games being in hd(maybe 5 years from now)
as nothing compares to hd.

but i play games on multiple hd monitors (they look great)
you have to have (for movies and tv)
an hd capable monitor/tv
an over the air antenna/regular one works fine for me and =free.
and a reciever something like dtv= have to pay for.

as far as the admins getting after you for posting in the wrong
place. well i wouldnt worry about that too much.
but i would worry about just being in the wrong place
i.e. the community section/other.
better watch out for
w.w.
wingy
abl
rc pilot
tom s.
the monkey guy
big mac

those guys arent human.
and yes some are admins and mods.
they are just mutants.

anyway welcome to t.h.g forums and for questions about computers
check the hardware section.

believe me its safer.

so basically what you are saying is: even if I do get the hdtv vid capture card and an LCD HDTV, I would STILL have to buy a source??, didnt the HDTV capture card say that its over the air??.

as for the other user, tomsmart: thanks for the link, that helped.

In the US you can get HD terrestrialbroadcasts. Until Directv gets their new
satilites up and running later this year, it is how I get my locals in HD. With a
cheap $9 antenae.

A neat thing about digital channels is the numbers are arbitrary, so 22 is no
longer their frequency so with an antenae you can get 22, 22.1, 22.2, etc. 22
is normal broadcasts, 22.1 is HD, and 22.2 is my local dopplar radar 24/7. I'm
able to get about 8 channels this way on top of the few I get with Directv's
HD package.

All you need is a HD tuner, which Directv HD boxes also do. It scans for terrestrial
digital channels, and adds them to your channel guide. No switching back-and-fourth
needed. 8)

Certainly.



Executive Summary

Windows Vista includes an extensive reworking of core OS elements in order to provide content protection for so-called "premium content", typically HD data from Blu-Ray and HD-DVD sources. Providing this protection incurs considerable costs in terms of system performance, system stability, technical support overhead, and hardware and software cost. These issues affect not only users of Vista but the entire PC industry, since the effects of the protection measures extend to cover all hardware and software that will ever come into contact with Vista, even if it's not used directly with Vista (for example hardware in a Macintosh computer or on a Linux server). This document analyses the cost involved in Vista's content protection, and the collateral damage that this incurs throughout the computer industry.


Executive Executive Summary

The Vista Content Protection specification could very well constitute the longest suicide note in history.

sorry i what i mean by (source) is.

i have an hdtv and all the components to get it.
but i only get around 15 channel/stations.
the rest are standard definition content.

its kinda like dualcore. and my brother (everett)

they are slow to catch-on.

i got the scoop quicker than him though.

I'm also wondering which of the two of them we should feel more sorry for.. It's a close call...

The simple answer would be to just direct the sympathy towards your parents.

Unlike you, who has none.

Since no one has answered the HD gaming piece of your question, I will attempt to.

Any modern game that you play at a resolution of 1280x720 or greater technically qualifies as HD.

what're football picks today?

yeah... they're tough games to call. but here it goes...

bears over saints
indy over pats

From high def to DRM infections on Vista to football. Hrmm...

Captured over £400.00 on Saturday betting on Liverpool, I got the correct score and first goal scorer. Later that evening I bet a oner that Everton would get beaten the next day, they never.

I wound up spending all the winnings and a few quid more also. Still, I had a fantastic day.

A quid is one pound. That is equivalent to about 1.5 Euro or about 2 Dollars, give or take a cent.

You know that old cliché? When you play serious poker, the 1st thing you should do when you sit down at the table is to determine who the sucker is gonna be ... if you can't figure it out - it's you!
Now one of us has a dancing chicken, and one of us doesn't. You do the math.
