Well, I'm sure this has been discussed in this newsgroup many
many times, but since I've only started reading net.video, I
need help.  Since this have probably been covered so much, please
respond by MAIL.  I won't even post a summary unless there are
enough requests to do so.

Here's the situation.  I'm buying a color TV or maybe a VCR in
the near future.  (I plan to buy the VCR only if my roomate buys
a color TV)  As a novice, I would like information on how to 
avoid buying a model which will be out dated in six months.

I'm looking to spend around $500.  So I am looking for information
on recommended models.  But I'm also looking for information on
video technology in general.  Things like stereo, or can you use
the tuner (and remote controll) on a cable ready TV or VCR when a 
decoder is needed?  Any recommended texts or magazines would also 
be helpful.  Remember, I am almost a complete novice.

Thanks for the help!
