High Definition Awesomeness!

Advantages: Great picture, supports upto 1080p, supports surround sound.
Disadvantages: May not be the best cable for your TV

...which. There is also a Microsoft sticker on there just to remind you that you have purchased the real deal. Pretty standard cable looks! Features: The Xbox 360 component cable is able to support standard definition and high definition TVs. To do this around two and a half metres down the cable the cable splits into two parts, one part is a composite section, yellow, red and white wires which support many TVs, the other part is the component section ...
...to give you the best possible picture quality. There is a box on the top of the cable with a switch so you can select TV or HDTV depending on the type of TV you are using. The cable itself when plugged in to an HDTV will support 480p, 720p, 1080i and 1080p (yes you can display 1080p over component if your TV supports it, you don't need HDMI) display modes, when plugged into an SDTV you will only have 480i only because of the limitations of your ...

Universal remote that you need

Advantages: Simple to use, great interface, simple to program
Disadvantages: None

...missing somewhere. We bought Logitech Harmony 525 2 years ago. I knew it would work for me as I am a gadget man. I was slightly apprehensive about my wife and worried about my in-laws (when they come to visit us). I thought it might be too techie thing for them. It turned out as a very simple to use. I have setup 4 activities - Sat1, Sat2, DVD and CD. You program it on Logitech site using web interface and then sync your remote via USB cable. When ...
...average household with 4-5 boxes under the TV. Logitech database is great and it is more than likely that your devices are already there and universal remote will pick up settings from their web site. Wholeheartedly recommended product. The cheapest I have found it (10/10/2008) is £38.5 at http://www.morecomputers.com/extra.asp?pn=966191-0914 ...

COMFY! Loud And Clear!

Advantages: Comfy, Loud, Very Clear, Adjustable, Independent right/left Volume Control
Disadvantages: Very long untidy cable

Comfy. I used to wear my pair for hours on end until my sister stepped on them. These aren't just TV headphones, I used my set to plug it into my stereo and listen and play along from behind my drum kit. In fact its great for that kind of stuff! It doesnt block out all the sound from the outside but it can handle volumes loud enough to deafen you! The cable is more than long enough for you to plug it in and walk back at least 4 meters. The independent ...

One For All

Advantages: one for all, combing different remotes
Disadvantages: doesn't always transfer everything you want

...This is what makes the One For All unique as it really is for absolutely everything. The set up is again not anywhere near as hard as what you would think. All you need is the remote itself and then easily work through the manual to set up each of your devices. This literally took me a couple of minutes for each device and even if you make a mistake there is no need to panic it can all be very straightforwardly be corrected. Another appealing factor ...
...switches if desired! Yes the One For All remote can be used to switch your lights on or off or even dim them! Although this is an interesting factor, you have to buy a separate piece of equipment to do this, which in my opinion is very off putting considering you've already paid £20 for a remote in the first place. The main disadvantage of this product is the fact that despite being easy to use the remote will not always have all the functions of ...
