Re: OK, all you HDTV dudes:


If your TV has Digital optical and Logitech Z-5500 5.1 has Digital optical. Just plug in an optical cable to each and your good to go for 5.1 sound. I did this when I first got my HDTV. It much better then the TV speakers I enjoyed mine untill I upgraded to floor standing Polk monitors 70's.

RCN adds 10 HD channels in NY

RCN adds 10 HD channels in NY - dslreports.com

the new channels aren't the best but hey it's better then nothing...wish they would add A&E, Sci-Fi, CNN, ESPNEWS HD etc...I now have 31 HD channels with my cable TV provider (RCN)...which still seems like a low amount compared to other cable providers and DirectTV
