Got My DCT6200 HDTV cable box

[Claude D D]

Picked up a Motorola DCT6200 today to hook up to my X1.HDTV looks very good even when scaled down by the X1.We just need more HD programing.

[Bam!]

Hey hey wait a minute I have the X1....whatch you taalkin`about HD....

A 720 or 1080....if so How ????

:E

Yup,you can input a HD signal to the X1.You just need to get the HD-15 to component adapter from Infocus (mine cost about $20 Canadian)they call it the Component to VESA adapter.My DCT6200 is set to 16:9 at 1080i.(you can also choose 720p or 480p) the X1 scales the image down to 800X450 but it still looks very good.On the Computer input the X1 shows the input signal as 1080i.Shaw cable is my HD provider.The Tonight Show looks excellent and you can switch between the channel that broadcasts it in HD and the channel that is not HD to see the difference.

[Bam!]

I wish Shaw would just get more channels and keep the channels consitantly on dedicated networks.

Enjoy!

I hear ya Bing. Shaw's programming on the HD channels is all over the place.Plus they need to get a Fox affiliate back.

That will be all the more relevent when Fox stops broadcasting in "ED" 480p and actually starts broadcasting in HD 720p later this year.
