PLEASE READ: Very Important Update!
Posted by HD Retrovision LLC (Creator)
If you were to read just one of our updates, this is the one. We received confirmation today that the air shipment of the Kickstarter backer cables is on its way! That means we have some very important things to ask you to do over the next week.
1) Make sure your shipping address is correct. If you have emailed us asking to change it, we have not changed anything for you! Kickstarter requires that you make changes to your own address, which can be done by visiting your "Backed Projects" section and finding our project. Soon we will lock down addresses, at which point you'll get a final warning email and 48 hours to make any last minute changes. After that, our shipping partner will be given a spreadsheet with whatever you have on file with us.
2) One last time, we want to remind everyone that they should be aware of the 240p compatibility issue. If you're not sure if your TV supports 240p over component, please go check our compatibility list or better yet, go through our test procedure. If you find that your TV is not compatible, now is the time to let us know so we can work through a solution with you. Issues should be directed to support@hdretrovision.com
Once we get them, we'll be pulling a string of all-nighters fueled by unhealthy amounts of soda, coffee, and sour candies to individually test each and every one of your cables. We hope that our testing will take about a week, and then we will pass off the cables to our shipping partner.
That's all for now. We hope you're as excited as we are. Thanks for sticking with us through it all!

It's going to be nice when they get those cables out since component is readily available right now on HDTV's and it will save some money for those who don't want to go the upscaler route. And from their testing newer TVs are including 240p support, but that still doesn't mean all sadly, so count yourself lucky if your TV does support the very low resolution. :P
