There’s nothing wrong with your high def - player. But it doesn’t work.

There’s another reason - as if you didn’t have enough already - to postpone buying a high def player for your TV. You already know that prices will drop later and that the format war isn’t over yet.

But the article linked here gives you still another reason to keep your wallet in your pocket.

Even if you guess right (and the guessing now is that Blu-ray will be the winner in the war of the formats) your brand new player may not play the high definition discs made for it. And it could fail to play them but be working perfectly - so fixing it won’t help.

The technology is still so new that many discs just won’t play right. The fix is to download a fix for your machine - if the patch exists, if it works.

The best way to watch HDTV right now continues to be over-the-air broadcasts; signals from a cable box or satellite box, and HDTV programming that you record on a high def capable digital video recorder.
