HDTV's I've ogled all seem to have DVI in.
(Yep, still dreaming of pornographic home media setup.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
OK, approaching it from the other side - if I get HDTV cable, can I output that into an LCD computer monitor (1600x1200)?
Of course, then I couldn't easily use the monitor with a computer (unless I buy some sort of DVI switchbox).
But anyway, odds are I'll buy a widescreen (picture tube) HDTV set soon....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My monitor is HDTV ready, it says, and connects to my computer's DVI port.
Can you attach the clapper to a room's overhead light?
Man, I remember when I wanted to own my own home so I could x10 the whole thing. Do people still x10?
I'm trying to draw out my home computer/media network, because it's unnecessarily clunky, and I want some suggestions from y'all. But Visio hates me.

Okay. This is my primary PC/TV setup.
What's switch box technology like these days? How much getting up would I have to do if I wanted to add PC -> TV (all the TV inputs are used)? I already have to manually switch the A/B box, and I tend to forget and end up recording nothing when I was expecting, you know, stuff.
This must be streamlineable.

That's actually pretty streamlined compared to my setup, which I know I can simplify but I haven't gotten around to it.
If you want to free up a TV input, you could run the TiVo into your VCR's line1 input and then watch all your TiVo through your VCR. Eh. I got nothin'.

D'oh. You just reminded me -- I'm not using the TV's coax input. I could, I suppose, switch the VCR to send coax, and free up a digital input (or at the very least remove the cable from the front of the TV).
I mean, the goal is to keep the digital devices communicating digitally, right? In order of descending quality: DVD player, cable box, TiVo/PC, VCR -- am I getting that right?

If you're going to send something to the TV's coax input, the VCR would be the one to send, yeah.

I hate the cable company. They can't come address my problem until the 21st -- until then, I'll have to choose between TV and internet at home.
