Re: Just Discovered Something

Thanks easyjay. Never even thought about changing the CoStar resolution setting. I'll have to try it out later today with my newer Vizio HDMI capable set. I'll report back..... This Hitachi tv I'm using as my main tv has been a gem. No repairs at all in almost 10 years, and it's a projector bulb lcd...

Re: Just Discovered Something

Re: Just Discovered Something

Thanks guys. Have to do some thinking on this. Don't want to spend too much as the current tv is almost 10 years old.
I figure a couple more years at most for it. It's a Hitachi 50" LCD, early HD tv

Re: Just Discovered Something

Just Discovered Something

Ok, expecting a Co-Star to show up on my steps any day now. Just discovered something though.

Frustrated!
