But, i wanted to mention something that makes no sense to me, just so you will know this for whatever reason.

I bought a brand new flat-screen for the bedroom last year. It's beautiful and big and i loved it. However, the sound on it sucked. I had it turned up as loud as possible and i could still barely hear it. My son, who is a technically knowing person of course due to his age, tried to buy me additional speakers but my TV needed something it didn't have, yada yada. I could get those speakers but they were really expensive....so i didn't. He monkeyed around with the sound settings, called the manufacturer and nothing worked.

Ok, trying to get to my point here. I switched cable companies from ATT to Comcast. Guess what??? Now i have HUGE sound. Isn't that strange? Peeps say that can't be why i now have sound, but i'm telling you...it is. I used to keep my sound setting on 10, as high as it would go and i still could barely hear it, now it's on a 4 and it's blaring.

Just wanted to throw that out there. It's weird but it is true.

Good luck to you!!!!

That IS why you have better sound. That's part of the recording/broadcasting levels I was blathering about. Could even be an area/signal thing. Your equipment pairs better with comcast's equipment and broadcast.

gaea, I get what you're saying about replacing the TV. Mine works great too, I don't want to buy another one.
