Personal computer view on Tv ?
Comments (12)the safety part yes it should be safe, my friend uses hers to order online and I think she does some banking too. The printer you need to check the list they have for the ones that are definitely compatible my friend has use 2 different ones with no problems, for mouse she had to try a few usb plug and play versions till she hit one she liked that worked well, using a usb wireless mouse is a good idea since the keyboard is wireless too, now the remote can be used to take on some of the duties of a mouse and the keyboard that comes with it is a specially designed one that has special keys to do certain things, the usb ports are in the back of the unit so I had her get a usb cord to be able to run it to the front then plug in a little usb hub to plug her mouse into that gives more usb ports. I would definitely go to the forums they have some very good ones dedicated to these units. My friend has learned so much about hers from those forums. You do not have to worry about getting any updates the updates are sent right to the units and remember this is not a regular pc so no software can be loaded but you can use websites like google Docs to do word processing and docs and spreadsheets etc and you can then have your printer print them.. You can set up other email on line if you prefer also. My suggestion on the mouse would be a small notebook sized mouse in usb wireless. They are smaller and easier to handle with older hands or arthritic hands, I have arthritis and I much prefer using a small mouse. you can google search for some of the forums but I know my friend said it has links to them on her unit home page....See MoreHelp with my Flat Screen TV Remote

Comments (3)From the information given, the reason for the low sound levels from the DVD player are likely because you are using your 2 channel TV speakers instead of a receiver which can decode the 5.1 to 7.1 channels of sound provided on the DVD. At the main menu for a DVD, Try selecting Setup, Audio and pick Dolby 2.0 or whatever 2 channel audio track is available if possible. That should improve the sound level of dialogue that would normally come from the center channel in a 5.1 speaker configuration. Some DVD's may not have a 2 channel mode available....See MoreAdded HDMI cable, lost closed caption
Comments (4)We shouldn't be so happy about not being able to get closed caption over HDMI. To force the video source (such as cable box) to first print the Closed caption text onto the video is not a good solution, especially if you are subscribing to DVR services such as TIVO. The saved video would have a PERMANENT text printed on it... you can't remove it. 1. MANY cable boxes are unable to decode closed caption. ONLY the HD boxes are able to do so.. and it forces people to spend MONTHLY fees in order to get it. It is forcing people to subscribe to a service... extortion, racketeering.. 2. DVDs... many many many DVDs are encoded with closed caption... which is NOT the same as subtitles. People are then forced to NOT use HDMI when viewing the DVDs... and not take advantage of using the HDMI port and not being able to use their TV's full potential... NOT being able to use what YOU PAID FOR!!! 3. If this was any other device... it would be ILLEGAL....See Moremtvhike
