The model is a Toshiba 57H85C Rear projection TV. So far looking in the specifications all I can find is suggested scan rates for HDMI Input (1080i, 480p, 480i, and 720p) but nothing saying what the TV actualy "is" (1080p or 720p). I guess I'll know for sure when I get the cable if it actually works or not. If not I'll try a VGA cable. Would you run VGA-HDMI or DVI-Component? or is it all dependant on the signal? ... I'm still pretty green when it comes to this aspect of computer based home entertainment :-) ... thanks again!! _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list mythtv-users@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
