Recently with the shift in seasons – the CRT needed its usual reconverge and setup tweaks. I had been really busy with other activities so it had gotten pretty bad (think 3-D on non-3D movies). With the release of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith — I was determined to watch it looking as best it could, sometimes you just need the right motivation.
Revenge of the Sith looked pretty amazing, once again re-confirming that CRTs rule compared to the digital projectors in my price range. The setup seems to have held fairly well and we’ve watched a few movies with no additional tweaking and it still looks great.
After over 10 years without cable TV or similar TV technology, we’ve finally broken down and decided to get satellite. Based on a number of factors I’ve gone with StarChoice – while I have got myself a HD receiver, I’m not expecting to do a lot of HDTV for a while. I’m almost hoping that the HDTV stuff isn’t that big a deal, since I really don’t want to make my DVD collection completely unwatchable.
I’ve also been trying to get back to doing some fiddling with my setup recently. Building new cables is near the top of the list, I promise more details when that happens. (both video and audio cables).
