Silly Offbeat Question - What colour scheme are you using? - Canadian TV, Computing and Home Theatre Forums

nathan · 2005-12-26, 02:22 PM

I figured this was a nice counter-point to all the more 'stressing' threads out there, and a fairly easy one to respond to.

I was just sort of wondering what colour scheme everyone was using on their SA boxes IPG? As an aside to that, is anyone using Roller Rink? Anyone? Anywhere? In the universe?

I'm using Boardwalk right now, but change from time to time.

I scanned them all when I got my STBs, but I left it on default (Town Square). I could tolerate Campground or Boardwalk...

Boardwalk - Although my wife's in charge of the colour-scheme

Wow this is a hard one. For myself I just use the least offensive.

Aquarium also.

I can't figure out why normal, non technical peoples have no idea you can actually change the colour scheme, not to mention other settings such as which channel on turn on to default to, time vs. channel showing, etc. I'd say the majority of users probably don't know you can change these settings.

BTW, my short answer is 'Boardwalk' on one, 'Ballpark' on another and I have no idea what's on the other 2.

Whatever the default is. I had something different but when I replaced my unit I left it at the standard scheme.

I use campground. I find it the easiest on the eyes when you are trying to read the guide.

I like to skim through the channels as if I was taking a walk on the "boardwalk."

You know, crazy things happen under the boardwalk... boardwalk.
