Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Beej,

get a tv. without cable, you probably can't watch anything anyway.

Sadly...that won't work.

Ah well, I was just hoping to find some research threads to pull.

Sometimes, having a specific desire can really narrow the options. Le sigh.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

I would make a serious bet that you would pay more for a setup like that than you would for a TV with a kickass sound system and a DVD changer, anyway.

Speaking of DVD changers, this [link] almost makes me uncomfortable in my pants. I might be able to fit my entire current DVD collection in there!

All is well that ends in pizza.

Any Somerville-ians need a cheap older mac?

Um.

Beej - there are HD sets that only come with digital tuners that may be suitable for your purposes. Though you'll pay substantially more for them than a non-HD set.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

gave her a dummy monitor which required a tuner for tv and had a separate vhs. That seemed perfect to me, but I don't know how to replicate the set up.

I have one of those. It's monochrome (green), however. I think it was originally intended for a Commodore 64, video games, etc.

eta: Some DVD players have composite output. Some computer monitors have composite input (I think).
