Buy LED, LCD or Plasma


Going for a new TV. Any hints, warnings or advice? It will go over the fireplace instead of the rug there now.

I see what you are saying. Does it have to use the RF? I have Dish net and you can set it to use IR or RF. If you can get it to use IR only then you can use an IR repeater so that you do not need to have line-of-sight between the remote and the unit it is controlling.

Nark,

No, the current U-verse box I have is IR, the RF is an add on. I did not think about repeater for IR since I had such good success with DIrectTV RF all those years.

I think what you're saying is maybe use repeater IR and let it control the U-verse and the integrated (TBD) that run in wall speakers.

Is it possible for the AT&T remote to do volume and mute via IR on a audio receiver or can you buy alternate code transponders so everything works together?

I hope all this helps some other Audiogon member, it's a mess trying to tie this together.
Albert-

I know that my dish net remote can be programmed to control my receivers volume but I don't know about AT&T. I think there is a good chance it will but you will have to check the manual or call them and ask.

Very shortly we will see more LED TVs in stores, because this seems the evolution of the LCD to lower consumption and a sleeker shape. However they are still in a 1st generation, even with various aspects of shape. The LCD on the other hand have improved more than ever image quality and correct problems as the viewing angle, the color reproduction or movement.
