New TV config decissions

Oh the difference actually having the equipment in hand makes.

Okay, translating from documentation world to real world here's where things stand. The TiVo DOES have s-video. Bonus. While the tv documentation lists "2 composite AND 2 s-video" inputs, in realty, that's a total of 2 inputs, not 4 (each one can be either of the 2 formats).

So: TiVo is now s-video. Wii takes one of the composite slots. The DVD player will take one of the 2 (separate from the composite/s-video) component slots once I get cables (doing some reading, it just makes sense to spend $20 and get component-specific cables). Had the TiVo had component outputs I'd have used them, but it doesn't.

Antenna will likely be forthcoming. There's a Dodger game on channel 9 in HD on Friday...

Okay, logistics out of the way, cables are connected, the verdict is...

I'm watching the Dodgers right now, in SD, through the TiVo. And it's beautiful. Just beautiful. I also spent an hour playing Tiger Woods Tour '07 on the Wii (in widescreen mode). Droooooool.

So

freaking

happy
