Where did the weekend go?!
The new television hunt was a success as my friend was able to find a nice set, 46” LCD 1080p Samsung, it’s a thing of beauty. So after the process of finding the tv and getting back to his place, the fun of setting it up and running the cables to the various devices began. It will probably continue today after work since he got a high def receiver activated, but the thing didn’t have an hdmi out only dvi and the tv only has hdmi inputs (don’t worry the tech speak will end soon). So he found an adapter that would connect to the receivers dvi and you could plug an hdmi cable into, but it didn’t work. So he is looking for a cable with dvi on one end and hdmi on the other.
On Saturday night I was sitting on my couch and I could hear a vehicle spinning out, I checked out the window and seen a truck stuck on the ice field in front of my house (this area is also known as a street). I got my winter gear on and stepped outside to see if I could help, when I got there I seen why he was stuck. His rear right tire was completely off the rim! And on the left the spinning had melted the ice right to the pavement. Not to mention the ice was black from the tire. There was another neighbour out there wanting to tow the guy out, I suggested a push but he said he tried and its no use. My g/f came out and we pushed the guy out no problem, then the driver floors it and starts going down the street! Well a rear wheel drive truck with 1 tire off the rim can only go so far and he gets stuck again…
We catch up and after giving him instructions on what to do managed to push him backwards down the street back to his house, he thanked us and we went our separate ways. Good deed done I suppose, not sure why nobody else came out to help. Plenty people watching the show, too cold to come help I suppose.
Needless to say the trucks rim is messed up, but it was an old beater truck, next time he should make sure his tire has proper air pressure…

Yah, you've really gotta see what you're putting in that tv hey? The more inputs the better I've read. There should be something that'll give you the DVI out from the set top box and then the video part of the HDMI into the TV. You'd have to connect the audio through another source though because that converter would only be sending video.... it's all very fun!
