I tend to switch every two years anyway. As soon as my contract expires I jump ship for new equipment :D So what did you ultimately decide? I tend to switch every two years anyway.

I was disappointed to learn, despite assurance to the contrary, that Comcast's digital lineup is NOT Clear QAM. This means that I can not view/record anything from them except the standard (ABC,NBC,CBS,PBS,etc.) HDTV channels. At this point, I plan to ditch digital cable and return to analog and purchase an antenna to get the OTA signals. I recently tried connected EyeTv 500 to Comcast’s digital cable here in Minneapolis.

I’ve never actually hooked my Mac up to a TV…it all goes through my media player directly into the TV. Hi Frank,

I have questions for you about hooking up a Mac Mini (in my case, an Intel version), to a Mitsubishi DLP HDTV. I noticed your post in another forum, and I have questions about the screen appearance (i.e., overscan), and was wondering if you’ve been able to overcome this without using Displayconfigx or a similar program.
