What's Noo?
A blog for noobies by Patric Welch, techie and all around fun guy.
I was blessed with another appearance on the Fox 59 Morning News show this morning. Today's topic was picking the right digital television. It's always hard to squeeze in everything I want to say during one of these segments so, like I did last time, I am going to include my full list of bullet points I planned on covering along with the video below. If you are not reading this on the Noobie web site, click here to watch the video. Budget Widescreen digital televisions are expensive Plan on spending $500 - $1,500 for 32" - 42" screens Bigger… Continue reading...
Noobie recently ran a poll on its web site asking how important the number of available high definition channels is when choosing between over-the-air, cable or satellite programming. The results were definitely interesting. The majority, roughly 39% of respondents, said that the number of high definition channels was not at all important. The second highest group of voters, 27% of respondents, said that the number of high definition channels was extremely important. The remaining 34% were split somewhere between somewhat important, important and very important.

Those of you that know me well know that I am a die hard Green Bay Packers fan. I have to be. I was born in Wisconsin and lived there for 22 years. But since moving to Indiana I have slowly jumped on the Indianapolis Colts bandwagon. Partly because it's fun to be a part of the excitement here and partly because it's awe inspiring to watch Peyton Manning's mastery of the game. Make no mistake about it though, Green Bay is still my team and always will be. If you need any further proof, just ask my friends here… Continue reading...
