Video Playback / Recording Devices

Can anyone tell me the correct way to connect the LG DC593W to the sky sat. box and to a GRUNDIG television. I can't seem to get them to work together. I have to disconnect the sky box when watching DVD's or vcr tapes. And it seems impossible to get the sky channels through the vcr to record programs on.

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Sony Compact AV System DAV-FC7. I mistakenly set "component out" in "screen setup" to "progressive" the menu immediately disappeared and I can only see a blue screen during disk play. Troubleshooting says to set the "scan select" switch to "Interlace", of course without an onscreen menu there is no switching. Anyone have any suggestions?

I just read Matt Whitlock's HD-DVD article about the introduction of the first commercial HD-DVD player and all I can say is "yawn".

I'm an early adopter, the kind that Matt refers to and presumably the kind that would jump at the chance to be one of the first to snatch up one of these (admittedly reasonably priced) high-def DVD players. After all, I have already taken the HD plunge with new TVs, upgraded satellite service, and more so it would seem like I'm the ideal candidate for adopting HD-DVD.
