...Ironically, the most trouble you can run into is if you have one of the latest high-definition cable boxes. Telling an HD box to send out the old-style analog TV signal required by the Slingbox can be daunting, and in some cases, next to impossible...
...only the audio that dampened my film appreciation. In a cozy apartment near Dupont Circle, the 12-watt subwoofer was okay, but there wasn't enough power or clarity coming from the built-in 5.6-watt speakers. The good news there is that the Cinego has analog and digital audio outputs, so you can connect your own stereo pair, or even a 5.1-surround sound amp and speakers if you like.

Japan has already begun digital broadcasting, and all broadcasts will be digital by mid-2011. In the U.S., every new TV will be required to come with a digital tuner by July 2007, and in Germany, digital broadcasts will commence in time for the 2006 World Cup soccer tournament. During this sea change, Sharp intends...
