Very cool' date=' are you using an HD compatible or Full HD screen ?[/quote']

 

Have 2 tv's at home,one full HD one HD compatible.No difs in picture between the two.Mnet HD is broadcast in 720p anyway so full hd tv is useless unless you watch a lot of bluray.

Sweet! I'm thinking of getting HD PVR. Got a Toshiba 42" Full HD tv 2 days ago and wanted to know if there is a difference in picture quality with a HD decoder compared to a normal PVR decoder? Please let me know...

that is called a video casette recorder. It came out a few years ago. Don't know if you can still get them due tho their popularity.

True , but then you watch a blu-ray movie and there is a vast difference between 1080i and 1080p.

Yes there is a huge difference. They want to make more and more channels HD later on.
