Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc.
Mitsubishi is pleased to announce the availability of the Mitsubishi Promise Module for consumers who have purchased a Mitsubishi HD-Upgradeable Projection Television and want to upgrade it for integrated HDTV performance.
The Promise Module upgrades any 2002 Mitsubishi or earlier HD-Upgradeable projection television with the following features:
• Over-the-air digital tuner, capable of all ATSC broadcast formats.
• Cable “in the clear” digital tuner, capable of receiving unscrambled digital signals from cable.
• IEEE 1394 digital connections for connecting to other IEEE 1394 devices such as HD recorders, MPEG camcorders, digital cable boxes, and compatible future devices.
• Home Audio Video Interoperability (HAVi) system control for on-screen graphical control of 1394 devices using the digital-only version of NetCommand®, enabling smart, sophisticated control of compatible devices.
• Substitute HD input array (to replace those negated by Promise Module installation)

TOP TEN RETAIL RIPOFFS EXPOSED!!
A "no holds barred" expose of the subtle, sometimes deceptive techniques employed by "sneaky snake" salespeople to separate you from your money. Forewarned is forearmed; after reading this, you'll at least have a fighting chance to avoid being "bit".
***The Comprehensive Windows Media 9 HDTV Encoding Guide*** - AVS Forum
This guide only concerns itself with encoding HDTV sources to Windows Media 9 format. The procedures for doing NTSC are similar. The principal attraction of using this new codec from Microsoft is its highly efficient compression with no apparent loss in image quality. You can count me among the doubting Thomas's when people like Jamoka were blazing new trails with it out on the frontiers of HDTV archiving. Reading phrases like "...and two or three days later your encoding run will finish" was enough to make me skeptical about the usefulness of this for the needs of someone who archives a lot of programming. Getting my encoding with WM9 systematized and down to a routine was a grueling experience; it took me about a month of concentrated trial and error (mostly error) work to get to where I am now. Much of what you will read here are tidbits of WME9 and digital video wisdom distilled from other forum members such as Jamoka, sjchmura, trbarry, and a few others. I have also included some of my own insights that I have picked up along the way.
There is more than one way to skin a cat, or HDTV transport stream. So there is a good chance that other enterprising and determined AVS forum members out there have found other ways to get the job done that works for them. If you rank%
Sub-$1,000 Projector Shoot-Out
When we go out to the Multiplex, movies are projected onto a screen, just as they have been since the dawn of the cinematic age. 8mm and 16mm home movie cameras and projectors came into the American home decades ago, but the image quality was poor and grainy and there was no sound -- hardly a cinematic experience.
On arid slopes overlooking British Columbia's Lake Okanagan, vineyard owner Don King is coaxing 30,000 plants to grow grapes of exactly the right colour, size and sweetness to produce great ice wine and other fine vintages.
He does this with the help of judicious watering, a knowledge of the age-old art of viniculture, handed down over generations -- and electronic sensing devices linked together in a wireless network.
The sensors that monitor the many different microclimates on the rolling terrain help Mr. King determine exactly when and where to apply moisture to irrigate the plants and protect them against frost, thus helping him conserve water, a scarce commodity in this northern desert, and practice what he calls "precision farming."
Co-owner of King Family Farms, which has been in his family for four generations, Mr. King hopes the network of sensors "will allow me to be more in tune with what is going on out there."
