Every component is working perfectly (I know everyone has been waiting breathlessly for this news!!) -- even though I had to call the damned cable company and go through menu hell and wait on hold for ten minutes because today, for some reason, my cable box decided that I wasn't authorized to watch anything. Fortunately, if their sending a signal hadn't been able to rejuvenate it, I could have gone to their new store (which is now in a shopping center and is actually open on weekends, if you can believe that) and exchanged the box. Because, believe you me, I wouldn't have wanted to watch the Oscars on anything less than the best screen. That would have been torture. I'll keep testing it tomorrow so I can make a run to the store if I have to. Lordy, the things we go through.
