Box states there are 1000s of home plans included. Website states there are 10,000 home plans included. I have searched the help file and throughout the program trying to access these supposed plans. Maybe i am just overlooking it, but i dont know. I did find one example that said you could access them through the home builder wizard, but mine is called house builder wizard, an option for existing plans was not available. so... I went to HGTV website and tried the live chat, once connected and asked what they could do for me, i asked how to access these plans and waited about 5 minutes with no response. so... I called them at the phone number they had listed and selected the "talk to a tech support" option, which, instead of connecting me to tech support, sends me to one of 3 different software vendors websites. (turns out, HGTV really has no way of contacting them at all through this website....nice (sarcasm)) so... went to nova development website and if you want to talk to tech support, well, it will cost you $9.99 for one call, or $19.99 for three calls. What????? so... I try live chat through them. Live chat box pops, tells you to hold on, but doesnt give you an idea where you are at in the que, so after about 8 minutes, someone comes online. I ask my question, and wait another 4 minutes for them to respond. Guess what the answer was..."you will have to call the help desk. so... i leave them some feedback and then go back to HGTV to try and call them and leave them some feedback, i select buy a product option, which then makes you select one of three developers. No way to contact HGTV i appears. I honestly found both homestyler.com (although, use the home builder and not the new beta floor plan module, I am unable to get saved plans to reload in that one) and floorplanner.com easier and more intuitive to use. I imagine if you took the time to learn the product it might be nice, although the 3d grahics i looked at when i loaded one of the sample plans, did not look anything like the picture quality graphics i saw on the box. BOTTOM LINE.... ...Most of the program seemed dated, especially the kitchen wizard which didnt have an island stove or sink option. ...expect no free technical support ...just didnt seem very intuitive ...cant really say much more about the program, since i really didnt take the time needed to learn it. got to upset about everything above, so i will be returning it and just sticking with one of the free options. ....

Cannot find any HD channels

Since this is a HD TV, I expect it can support all HD channels. But when I scanned the cable, only non-HD channels showed, while all HD channels were not show. Anyone know why?
