    How is MyT so far, is it a worthy offering and do you think it is sustainable?

    Hi Shaan,

    I have two confessions to make.

    (1) I don’t watch TNT channels at all (I prefer Parabole Maurice)

    (2) I don’t buy Pay-per-view films (except Lindsay Dookhit’s film which I bought months ago)

    So, I don’t use the MyT service at all. I only use the wireless connection for my laptop. And, of course, I benefit from the increased bandwidth from 128 to 256kbit/s.

    Is it LG DVD/HD recorder… or as you said LD DVD/HD recorder…? I said LG and you LD. The samsung 29″ i think you should replace it by a good HD TV – But i think if you do that replacement you’ll have to change some other components because those you have may not be compatible. So, LG or LD?

    Hi,

    Thanks for noticing. Of course, it’s LG. I still have my trusty Samsung 29″ TV. I’ll have to upgrade it one of these days…

    To be frank, I am far from being a specialist…

    And, secondly, if you are satisfied with what you have then it’s bound to be good :-) I’ve noticed that a lot depends on the speakers you have. Since upgrading my Pioneer speakers to much better Yamahas + a subwoofer, I’ve noticed a world of difference…

    And, naturally, the TV you have is key. Mine is a Sony LCD now and I’m amazed by the image quality when the set is properly calibrated.
