We played a live feed from the cable company, thru a HD converter into a Sanyo PLC-EF60, then onto a 20' x 30' sound screen.
The picture was outstanding. Our restored old movie house theater holds 2700 patrons, we had 1970 in attendance. our concession sold great. admission was of course free, great PR for the theater.

Why do all old theaters have such tiny screens?

Also, why is Connecticut spelled the way it is?

1. In the days when these old dumps were built the movies were so
bad nobody wanted to see them anyway. If the screens were much
bigger the light would keep you awake.
2. It's a pretty good guess, how would you spell it Joe?
