Mag 254 with HDMI to component converter

#44
It's nice to squeeze every last drop out of old technology. I'm still doing that with an old stereo system for audio out of the new smart TV. Needed a digital to analog converter. lol

Only 1 HDMI? My two year old 55" has 4 HDMI inputs and it's not enough. One went bad and just bought a 3 input HDMI switch with remote which adds two more so I have 5 which is what I now need in the entertainment center as follows.

1. DN 129 HD box
2. PBS 125/Sky Mex 58 box
3. Mag 254 Rocket IPTV
4. Desktop PC
5. Nfusion HD (best PQ)

The first 3 are on the HDMI switch with nice fast remote control input changes. Nice.

In 2002 they did not have HDMI I believe it started in 2003. Still for an old Flat tube tv looks pretty awesome.

when your Smart TV is off , how do you turn it on?
Do you give the Smart TV a command and say TV ON ... and then it turns on ?
If so then what does that mean?
It means that even when the TV is OFF it is listening and just who is listening ??? :eek:

Keep that older TV norton :)

I read about that 1984 comes to mind. I keep on debating about getting a big ass TV, but for a tube it still looks pretty awesome even in SD. I guess when it dies time to move on, but this tv seems like the energizer bunny.

thanks after 15 beers I guess I should know better as you had told me exactly what needed to be done. If I did not have this converter you would not have to disable it? in main screen go to settings, scroll down to inner portal,ok> go to settings,ok>scroll to interface,ok>you will now see HDMI event reaction, disable this and ok to save..

Also did not help that my lap top was taking forever to up date & had to go to my desktop. Memory(mine) is better when information is in front of you with the TV & Mag on.

Same question ?

Norton, the facts or what they are. I believe your box is working as you wanted now because you took the necessary steps to ensure it. Without the converter, you would obviously not have had to disable some of the features.

Many of those older TV's have better PQ on SD than the newer ones that are tuned for HD.
