Ha! They are fighting back with a price cut! Fools!! (-in a nice way) We must remain strong against this alien threat of slurry SD tv disguised in HD form! In response to our findings they dangle the carrot in complete desperation, enticing those unfortunate enough not to be a part of WHFS&V...

Technics: We know now that in the early years of the twentieth century this world was being watched closely by intelligences in a call centre greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own. We know now that as home cinema human beings busied themselves about their various HD concerns they were...

Thanks all, I suppose its my fault really. Silly me, forking out £1'300 for a HD ready telly so i can watch HD, £125 for the 'best' hdmi leads i could lay my hands on at the time, then £75 for installation and £47 a month thereafter for a sky "HD" box that broadcasts SD on HD channels.... Oh...

Many thanks D.JKRIME, and im glad your still alive. Have i got this to look forward to on a regular basis then? I just love forking out all that cash to see how close i can come to knocking my tv off its pedestal pluugging and unplugging til Ive finished my tea!

Hi all, Perhaps a little OTT subject title, oh well. Ive had my new Pioneer 4280, ps3 and sky hd all connected with 2 lengths of chord 1.3 silver plus hdmi cable for about a month now. Over the last 2 days i have been confronted by a neon green screen (of death). This is rather worrying as I've...

Presumably I'm not the only one with Sky HD that feels thoroughly cheated and ripped off in the fact that they have paid for HD channels, which are occasionally showing SD. Not once have I seen any promotional material telling you this in the small print, or during the booking on the phone or...

Thanks all for your response. Auto is the way forward, much better. Hi Claire, does this mean that sky are occasionally running sd on hd channels...?? Many thanks for taking the time to offer those settings sorrel - a big improvement, some of the options really are daunting to explore without...

Hi All, Would anyone know how i output 720p, instead of 1080i from my Sky HD box to kuro 4280xd? I'm hoping the answer to the above question might help as I recently invested in 2 lengths of Chords hdmi 1.3 silver plus (sky hd to tv & ps3 to tv). I'm sitting a good 8ft away from the screen but...

Thanks for the info Savio but already purchased - picked up the 4280 and set it up last night, and I'm looking forward to properly getting to grips with it tonight Seaking! I decided to go for 2x1.5m lengths of the chord silver anniversary 1.3 Prof,. Hificables delivered them today. I also...

Thanks for the recommendation, the QED looks fine for the latter connection so thats good news, and hificables have certainly saved me a lot of time searching. So long as im future proofed for the foreseeable future as I can see me going for the much anticipated Onkyo offering, hopefully due...

They seem very competitive and free delivery is always nice. Am i right in thinking that the 1.3a and the 1.3 silver anniversary are the same product? Presumably i would need 2 seperate meter lengths (as tv on stand with other bits below) - PS3 to tv ......&.......SKY HD to tv? Obviously i...

Thanks Prof, You have confirmed what i was already thinking. Don't suppose you could recommend a particularly good supplier of cables etc that i can contact, am a bit 'searched out' after tracking down my panel for last 4 or so days...

Wow. Only just managed to buy the 4280 including free del @ £1250 from onebetterbuy.com it only took me 3 pages worth of google searches to actually track down what appears to be the last 4 - now make it 3 left in the country.........all other suppliers that i tried bar this one have completely...

Thanks Clare, Spoken with Amazon/zebraestore who had 1 left in stock, albeit without a remote - sold yesterday! With no new orders placed due to discontinuation.... Is it me or is it getting warm in here.....panicking, me? never...Gulp..

Thanks Fuzzy, Wasn't aware of those additional features. They each could prove useful...but not enough to warrant the aforementioned additional cash, in my opinion. Just checked a major supplier of the 4280 that had plenty yesterday - now sold out! Gulp...
