I am assisting a small local TV shop (not unlike myself) in gearing up for HD service. He's waiting for DSL to be installed, then I will direct him to a forum.Aparently he doesn't have an HD generator, so if he needs to go to 1080i pattern to do a convergence, he's sunk. On a tight budget, can't afford thousands for a Sencore. I understand MCM has a Tenma for about $650.00. There was a company CMM (computer monitor maintanence) around that sold good priced sig gens.Need some suggestions to pass along to him. Even if a lesser brand has fewer patterns, as long as he can select a HD mode, isn't that the most important issue? Thanks, Phil Bader -- Philip Bader Jan Phyl TV Inc. (estab. 1976) 3420 Recker Hwy.
