how to get progressive scan?

[slycat]

I just got a dvd player that has progressive scan so i thought i'd try with several dvds i got...each time i click the progressive scan button it makes the screen all snowy and buzzy. I have a crappy ol' 20" tv that i will replace soon but is that the cause? do u need a certain kind of tv to get p-scan?

You need a digital TV for progressive scan. That includes all HDTV's but also all EDTV's.
