I'll get into the manual later and clarify. > That doesn't make sense. Firewire isn't that common, and it's significant point is fast transfer rates. It would never be used "merely" to update firmware, you'd have problems finding a source in most people's homes, and fast transfer wouldn't be important. Firewire is for digitized video. > I have no idea what ATSC is. > Digital tv. NTSC is the old analog scheme. The US turned that off two years ago, when digital tv came along, and ATSC is the format used for DTV. And since the US did plan things ahead, there was a point where no tv (over a certain size?) could be sold unless it could receive DTV. It's not likely that a tv with so many recent types of inputs would be old enough to predate the mandated inclusion of ATSC reception. > What would I send to an ethernet connection that would cause an Email > message to appear on the TV sceen? That isn't likely to happen. I suspect the only way you can use the TV set is as a display. Maybe you can send send a video feed over ethernet, but it won't be seeing data that is the email. Michael
