New HDTV at my home can be independently calibrated to each source. I
used an old DVD of test patterns (obviously set up for CRT screens) to
set up the Blu-Ray input.

1. Anyone have experience with a good disk specific to 1080p LCDs?
(Does Blockbuster/Netflix have such a disc?)

2. How can I get patterns out of my S3 TiVo for the same pupose?

Get the patterns as an MPEG file. Use TivoDesktop to transfer it into your
S3.

The most direct route would probably be to convert the DVD you already have
into an MPEG.

Digital Video Essentials will be released on Blu-ray on 25 March.

HDNet used to transmit ten minutes of basic test patterns in high def
just before their "Nothing But Trailers" show on Monday mornings, but I
haven't checked recently. IIRC, they include color bars that can also be
used to check black level and a pattern to check overscan and position.
Hardly comprehensive, but better than nothing.
