Nervous_Dog Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 will work as a Pay per Veiw service and "X" movies a month for subscription. IT is by satellite but not UBC. All content in High Def, it is pretty stunning to see the early samples working, quality is fantastic, I.e. you will come home, turn on the TV, will get a menu of "X" number of movies to watch. Some will come with your monthly subscription, not sure the price yet, the rest you can "buy" on the spot, All good content too DOG DOG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kojis Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 Thanks CT, not exactly a geek out here... discovered only yesterday on the net there was something named a iPhone on the market and it seems to stir large number of people's needs but still haven't bothered to check what that iphone could be... After watching in theaters last night the 2 Elections flicks from Jonnhy To which well deserved the short ride to Champs Elysees BTW I checked the various signals we get at home. DVD is coming HDMI 1080i, does it mean we get HDTV with all DVDs or only with the newer ones, or even with a fewer of them recorded with some premium HD technology?? As of channels coming via internet server... nah.. it's lower resolution and no HDMI cable there so far... and indeed the picture isn't quite as good... Than curious about the space shuttle bit, I've tried for the first time to record some TV program on the hard drive for the first time... (Private porn, will check tonight if any good...) living room not quite ready to launch into outerspace yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elef Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 There're 2 iPhones on the market so maybe Apple must change name, else the comment in Europe is that Apples iPhone is too oldfashioned already - too big, no 3G so the mobile technology inside it is more than 10 years old and finally just a 2 megapixel camera - Nokia soon will start sell the newest 3G with a 5 megapixel camera, mp3-player and GPS. Soon we will get 4G but some countries (China I think) will jump that generation and invest directly in 5G. I used the 3G first time 2 years before it was released and that was after the construction was finished, but SonyEricsson and others wanted to sell more GSMs before introducing the 3G.

elef Posted January 12, 2007 Report Share Posted January 12, 2007 The Nation Today Link Sharp to expand flat TV production in Japan, Mexico Tokyo - Japanese electronics maker Sharp Corp. announced plans Friday to ramp up its output of flat screen televisions with new production lines in Japan and Mexico in response to flourishing demand. Sharp will spend 200 billion yen (1.66 billion dollars) on a third production line at its Kameyama plant by July to double output of large liquid crystal display (LCD) panels to 60,000 units a month, rising to 90,000 in 2008. The company will also build a second plant in Mexico at a cost of eight billion yen to produce finished LCD flat panel TVs for North America. The facility in Baja California will start operating in July 2007 with a monthly output of 200,000 LCD TVs "to cope with burgeoning demand for LCD TVs in North America," Sharp said. "Due to the global expansion of digital broadcasting, demand for LCD TVs continues to expand," the company said in a statement. Sharp expects worldwide demand for LCD TVs to hit 68 million units in the business year to March 2008, up from 45 million in the current year. "The demand for 40 inches and larger LCD TVs is expected to be especially vibrant," it added. A second production line at the Kameyama plant in western Mie prefecture is due to start up ahead of schedule this month. "Sharp will continue to improve its production capacity to meet expanding demand in the global large-LCD-TV market," the statement said. Japanese companies and their foreign rivals are riding high on a boom in demand for flat televisions as consumers ditch their bulky old tube sets for ultra thin new ones. Sharp has chosen to focus on liquid crystal display TVs while rival Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. is betting on the success of plasma TVs. Matsushita, the Japanese electronics giant behind the Panasonic brand, said Wednesday that it will build the world's largest plasma television plant at a cost of 280 billion yen (2.35 billion dollars) to meet booming demand.

ChristianTroy Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 It means you can buy new DVD players such as Blueray or HDDVD. The quality is exactly the same but it isnt sure yet wich formatwill make the race. Best advice is to wait for multi format players, at least that is what I am going to do!

kojis Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 I do have an HDDDVD player actually...a Pioneer DVR545HX...never used the HDD part yet...sure didn't use much of what was available nor understand it... watched Casino again tonight though... still a great movie... crazy little Pesci! Now what I'm trying to understand is : am I getting the HDDTV quality you're talking about when I watch DVDs or should I add some device ( to watch DVDs I mean, the plasma is a Pioneer PDP 507XD and an HDMI cable does link the two machines) Kojis, out of his league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pe7e Posted January 13, 2007 Report Share Posted January 13, 2007 If you are getting DVD quality you will certainly be aware of it, compared to standard reproduction it's stunning. Before you will get HD the DVD disc you are playing needs to have been recorded in HD format. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
