Finally, I discovered that she was using the a composite cable to plug into her TV. When I plugged in the hdmi cable, she suddenly didn't like it- she liked that fact that the composite signal turned a 4:3 picture into a 16:9 picture. She preferred the large size to the digital signal. I showed her the HD versions of the channels, trying to explain to her the when widescreen content aired, but all this confused her- she would have rather just had the SD channel through an SD signal. Some people just don't understand the wonders of HD. My sister recently got an HDTV, with an HD STB, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why she was getting HDCP warning messages.

The ability to rip your entire collection via the changer doesn't seem like that great of a value. Once you rip everything, you then have a 1500 dollar appliance sitting in your entertainment center collecting dust. Why would you use it at that point if you've already ripped everything to your HTPC? About that S1 100 disc Bluray player.
