Herbert Putkey - Now in HD

A big, expensive (in money, time, and energy) upgrade has occurred in our world. We now have a shiny new 37″ sharp aquos 1080p tv. That’s right, I’m writing this very post on the new TV. It’s quite a bit nicer being able to read what I’m typing, although don’t expect my posts to be any more coherent.

We also bought the shaw HD PVR (dual tuner), but we got it from some guy’s home, instead of Shaw. Yes, the guy was home at the time, and we had to pay him. To drive the tv at its 1920×1080 resolution, I also bought a new video card. I also bought a firewire PCI card, in the hopes that I can get the shaw PVR working with the computer, but I’m not sure how easy that’s going to be.
As always, I’ve taken some pictures (it helps me justify this website as well as my camera).
