| Television Configura... | KDFE50A10 Channel removal and decodes PPV?? | Yes. For awhile, OnDemand was unencrypted. They began encrypting it a year or so ago. Only after that did the hyper-paranoid HBO start allowing HD OnDemand of their programming |

I just discovered that the 22 analog basic channels remain taking up 22 x 6 = 132 MHz of bandwidth. 44 digital HD channels could occupy that space! The actual number of digital channels will depend on many factors. Comcast tends to put 3 HD's into one analog space, except for some sports channels. 12-16 SD channels can also be put in that space, or any combination thereof. [addsig] |
| Television Configura... | KDL-46XBR9 XMB Symbols meaning | I think it means it's part of the 'favorites' list? |
| Blu-Ray/HD DVD | Sony’s Blu-Ray Replacement to Store 1TB on a Singl | I still have some 5.25" floppies from a TRS-80 Model I. 35-track, single side, single density. I think about 85-86K per disk! |
| Television Misc and ... | Maximum Size Memory Stick | The issue with most devices is that they do NOT support NTFS or FATX. The drives must be formatted FAT32. FAT32 has several issues, most importantly, any SINGLE file cannot be larger than 4G. |
| Blu-Ray/HD DVD | BDP-ES1000ES Connection Question | I'd use HDMI for the BluRay, as it's higher quality than any form of satellite signal ever will be. |
| Television Installat... | Connecting Wireless Network to EX700 TV | To add, I'm not entirely certain this will work. I don't know if gaming adapter can only supply one IP address per wireless connection, or if multiple ones would be allowed. If only one IP will work, another option is to use a cheap/old router and connect the WAN/Internet port to the gaming adapter, treating it a bit like a modem. This will resort in double-NAT, which may or may not be an issue. ----------------- Sony KDL-46EX700, Sony STR-DB930, Sony BDP-S370, JVC HR-S3800U, Motorola DCT-6412, Samsung LN19A450, OneForAll URC-8910.

| Television Installat... | Connecting Wireless Network to EX700 TV | Another option is a 'gaming' adapter or whatever they are called. A stand-alone wireless receiver with ethernet port(s). Basically, converts a wireless signal to hardwire. It could be cheaper than the Sony adapter, but needs yet another vampire power brick. |
| Television Installat... | Connecting Wireless Network to EX700 TV | Yes, you MUST use the $$$$$$ Sony bridge. Others have tried, but nothing else works. It apparently has some custom code or other in it. [addsig] |
| Television Troublesh... | Sony KDL-52EX700 sound problems | There are numerous firmware updates, almost once or twice a month, with the EX700 series right now. You can update directly from a network connection (but only works in the background when the TV is off), or through a USB thumb drive. The current version is 4.020: http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=KDL52EX700&upd_id=5754&os_id=25 The link has instructions on how to check your current version, and how to do the update. I just unzip to the root of a thumb drive with directories enabled, then plug it into the USB port on the left of the TV. The TV sees the upda .. |
| Blu-Ray/HD DVD | Cable to hook a BDPS570 Blu-ray Player to a KV-34X | The Amazon cable qualifies for free shipping if you can combine it with other qualified items to get past $25. |
| Blu-Ray/HD DVD | Cable to hook a BDPS570 Blu-ray Player to a KV-34X | Amazon has a 3m HDMI-to-DVI cable for $8.37. http://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Adapter-Meters-Frustration-Free-Packaging/dp/B001TH7T2U/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275427444&sr=8-1 [ This message was edited by: andyross on 2010-06-01 16:25 ] |
| Television Misc and ... | EX Series Bezel | Which EX series? I have an EX700, and the top and sides are shiny black. The bottom is brushed gray, with a thinner black below for the lights and sensors. [addsig] |
| Television Configura... | RF Inputs?? | You'll have to use a separate A/B switch. Basic ones are mechanical, there are also some electronic ones with remotes. You would also have to toggle the TV between Cable and AIR modes. I don't know if it keeps the memories separate or not. If not, you would have to rescan at each change. Basically, separate tuners is rare now. As it is, built-in tuners are mostly a joke for most people since you typically need a box of some form to get anything beyond very basic channels. [addsig] |
| Television Configura... | Need help with HDMI connections and digital audio | Most, if any, TV's do not support passing on the full audio from one HDMI feed to their digital audio outputs. Ideally, you should have a receiver with HDMI switching. That way, the audio would go to the receiver, which would pass the video on to the TV. Otherwise, just run the separate digital audio connection to the receiver. [addsig] |
| Television Configura... | KDL service mode | It always was a bit like that. It's just that I cannot adjust 480i mode without messing up 480p+ on the same input. |
| Television Configura... | KDL service mode | There is white balance in the user menus, so that's not much of an enhancement. |
| Television Configura... | KDL service mode | I recently bought a KDL-46EX700 to replace the KV-30XBR910 that died. I am familiar with the service mode for the KV series (I also had a KV-20V80 before the XBR). I looked at the service mode for the KDL, and it seems to be very different. It had everything in a small box, and didn't seem to have the normal type of settings I am used to. Does anyone have information on how to make changes in the service mode for the KDL's? I mainly want to know if I can adjust the sub-brightness (SBRT in the older TV's) for 480i mode only, as it's way too bright.[addsig] |
| Television Troublesh... | New Sony KDL-46EX700 TV - Strange behaviour- Is it | Have you updated the firmware? There are nearly weekly firmware updates with this series right now. You can set the TV to update itself if it's connected to your network. Or you can download the firmware, put it on a FAT32 formatted USB drive, and it will update through the USB port on the left side. http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-list.pl?mdl=KDL46EX700 As I write this, the latest version is 4.010, released 4/30/10 (the previous version was 1.117). If you click on the Download Now link, that opens a page that tells you how to check your current version, how to do the .. |
| Television Misc and ... | review-KDL-52EX700 LED/LCD | The Auto1/Motionflow was most obvious on animation like Simpsons, Family Guy, etc... It would look normal, then there would be a sudden super-smooth movement that just stood out. I only tried it yesterday, and didn't see any obvious difference from having MotionFlow off anyways. I haven't watched any animation yet. [addsig] |
