Our new TV

[fbhjr]

The converter box I ordered for the Apple TV to me old TV came in.
Something not listed in its ads, but in its instruction manual “may do
permanent damage to CRT monitors”.
Great.
I tried it anyhow.
While it didn’t do any damage to the old TV, it didn’t exactly work either.
I then needed another converter to convert that signal to the right
resolution for the TV to accept it.
The good news is I used to have one of those.  The bad news is, I have no
idea where it is now.
But, going from the Apple TV to one converter, to another converter to the
TV was starting to get a bit silly.
I found the guy at the store last weekend had “exaggerated” when he told me
the TV I needed to use the Apple TV cost $400 or more.  I found one on
their web site for $250 that met the requirements.  And, I had several on
line coupons that knocked it down to $200.
I really didn’t want a new TV.  But, I really do want to be able to watch
movies from the computer on the TV.
So, I got it.
The good news is that it does appear to work quite well.  It does
everything that was promised when I decided I wanted one two months ago.
I just wish it hadn’t required the series of hoop jumps to get here.
