RE: Fw: OT: Thinking of buying a Widescreen TV?

["Kenneth Watt" <kennwatt@xxxxxxx>]

Scott,

How have you connected the video input? I used S-Video to hook up the
MT-1 and got Keith to build me a set of custom KAT5 modules to get the
video from one side of the room to the other, the amp etc sits at the
front of the screen, and these made a vast improvement due to the fact I
was not losing wads of signal in a 10 or 15M lead. Just something that
you might like to consider.
