    Heroes season 1 thread

    I may be mistaken, but one thing that keeps jumping out at me is when Hiro first sees the explosion in NYC during the first few episodes, to me it appears that it happened in the evening. The explosion in the finale was at night. Is there another explosion or is my memory playing tricks?

    My Onkyo 898 just died! I need help choosing a replacement

    Ready to Buy Tosh 65" H82

    I had one delivered to my house yesterday. The picture right out of the box was pretty good. I did a real quick calibration with video essentials and that made it even better. Lord of the Rings was fantastic. This TV made the movie look like it was broadcast in HD. Covergence was good right out...

    Onkyo 797 or 898 DD dropouts on Satellite or Digital Cable Feeds

    My sentiments exactly. Dolby was more or less forced by Onkyo (maybe others) to revise their software. Hopefully Dolby will start testing any updates to their software with an x9x Onkyo before it is released, but I would not blame them if they did have to start doing something that caused...

    Onkyo 797 or 898 DD dropouts on Satellite or Digital Cable Feeds

    On another message forum, there is a thread saying that the Discovery HD dropouts have been fixed. I cannot confirm this since I do not have High Def. Anyone able to confirm that Discovery HD has been fixed? If it is, I hope this will be something that HBO can do as well.
