... I'd like to offer up my HDTV Buyers FAQ,

Jeremy, I just visited your site and I like it. It's more readable than many
of the other sites I've been struggling through. I only had one pop-up (XP
with SP2), but if you're relying on advertising for revenue (which is a fair
trade for your efforts) you might want to switch to banner ads since SP2
blocks pop-ups.

Thanks for your effort and I've bookmarked your site.

Yes I should have warned about the pop up ads, the host provider
forces these on my site (one of the cost for free hosting). If I
ever get sponsors (advertisers) I will put the money back in the
site and purchase pop-up free hosting space.
As others have said, pop-up blockers work well.

A real website with no ad requirements and tons of space costs what,
five dollars a month? And you need a sponsor to be able to pay it?

Give the guy a break. He put the site together to help people, using his
own time and effort. What have you done but criticize him?

Hey, curmudgeon, want to give this guy your posting name? I think he might
deserve it.

A comment regarding your answer on recording HD. You state " You can not
record HD broadcast using VHS or S-VHS based recorders/tapes "

That's not quite correct. My Motorola DCT6208 set-top box converts HD
signals to 480i for output to my VCR. Certainly not a great picture but
works in a pinch if we want to record something while we're out.
Eventually I'll get a DVR.

Thanks Jeremy,
I've bookmarked it for future reference.

Bill: I too have the dct6208 and have been racking my brain trying to
figure out how to archive on tape. I read the manual and they say to
connect via a coax cable, but when I did this, I didn't get anything over to
the tape. I would greatly appreciate a heads up on how you did it?

Thanks

Well, you could always agree to fork over the money to him.....

The site works as is, and only one pop up made it through Mozilla Firefox on
me. Not a big issue.

Coax cable from antenna out of DCT6208 to antenna in on my Toshiba VCR.
Video/Audio out cables(yellow, red, and white) from VCR to input of
Samsung HDTV. Set timers on cable box and VCR for recording times. Set
desired channel(902, for example, for CBS-HD in my area) to be recorded
on cable box and channel 3 for the VCR.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply Bill but I didn't want to record the programs at same
time on the DCT and on the vcr. I have a recording on the DCT and I wish to
transfer it over to tape. Can that be done?

I don't know. Adelphia in Santa Monica hasn't activated the DCT
recording feature here yet. I am using my setup for time-shifted
recording only, not archival recording.
