Oh great! 30 years from now, we will all be telling our kids... "Back in the day we had to crank and pull to get our laptops started!"

MyNetworkTV the first all HD broadcast network?

Jul 29th 2006 4:35PM (Engadget HD)
I work for a TV station that was in negotiations with "My Network TV" , supposedly the affilate has the choice to replace the word network with whatever word they want, like My Cleveland TV,or "My Indy TV" as long as its something to do with your city or local content, since the affiliation literally means that they provide 4 hours or less a day of programming that is "required" to carry...

ohyeah, and by no means is this "all HD", as this is not a requirement to become an affiliate... and they only provide primetime content

Is the 360 capable of 1080p?

Dec 16th 2005 11:31AM (Joystiq Xbox)
1080i and 1080p are both rendered by the ATI card at 1920x1080... the limitation is in the output of the encoder chip... there is only a handful of TV's (none in which my local best buy had) that even do 1080p... 1080i on a tube, or projection TV(NOT Microdisplay), actually only draws 540 lines on any given "frame", which is why many of these tv's can to 1080i, but not 720p. a TV running 720p actually has more lines on the screen at any given time than 1080i, but there is less total "resolution" of the final image. Needless to say... the xbox360 would take no performance hit from 1080p, (on games that are rendered at that rez already, that say 1080i on the back).

Xbox 360s at Circuit City

Special order, not pre-order... special order for in-store pick-up, that is what I did. It took 6 employees before I found one that actually knew how to do it, they dont think they can, but actually, the computer can, they just have to know the Loc: codes to put it... you have to put in the location of the closet warehouse and then in the next space "0294". Most of the employees have no idea how to do it though.
