Olympics

The Winter Olympics have been phenomenal on the HD TV with the coverage coming over the air on NBC. I think it is true what they say about the signal over the air being superior to cable. Even though my tv isn't 1080p and cable is supposed to be HD, the signal from the antenna seems to be better...or maybe it just seems better because it doesnt cost me $80 to watch it.

Got the surround sound cable

I got the surround sound cable which on one end is a 3.5 mm jack, same size as an iphone jack, and the other is the red and white rca plugs. The pc is now connected to the surround sound and the sound is great! I purchased them from amazon and they were only $5.00. Don't waste your money at Radio Shack as their prices are always higher.
