    The eternal Family Guy Quotes thread

    Ok, they're, they're in the woods ... The camera keeps on shaking ... I think they're looking for some witch or something, I, I don't know, I wasn't listening ... Nothings happening ... Nothings happening ... Something about a map ... Nothings happening ... It's over. A lot of...

    The eternal Family Guy Quotes thread

    *Clevland and Peter sitting in the Drunken Clam* Peter: So Chris starts with this "yo yo yo" stuff and I don't know WHAT in the hell he's saying, so I start whiping him with the hose, and then my arm got tired, so now I'm here.

    Any Canadian Andromeda fans on here?

    Global has a hand in the production of the show. If they don't do the p&s themselves, I'm sure the only reason they are provided with a p&s version is because of their involvement in the production of the show. Here's the blurb from the site about them deciding to run it it widescreen this...

    HDTV - shows too dark and murky, inconsistent?

    Eric, it's an SA 3100HD. They only upgraded us to that one for VOD, previous to that I believe their standard issue for HD was a 2800HD or 2900HD (can't remember for sure, it's been a while.)

    Any Canadian Andromeda fans on here?

    Heh, I know the feeling. I think I'm the only person I know that watches it. I'm surprised it's still on the air. *Knocks on wood* I think it's better than Babylon 5 was, and Babylon 5 was an awesome show. I think a lot of people were just thrown by Kevin Sorbo (seeing only Hercules when...

    HDTV - shows too dark and murky, inconsistent?

    We just got HD Timeshifting on Rogers Cable here in Canada, it's pretty wicked. Assuming you've got HD Cable/Sat, (as opposed to OTA HD and standard digital Cable/Sat) you should get on your provider to do the same.

    Any Canadian Andromeda fans on here?

    I was going to post this to the board on andromedatv.com but when I saw a reply to a similar thread that said something along the lines of "They shrink it and add those stupid black bars" I decided that was not a crowd I wanted to deal with ... I am ENTIRELY fed up with Global airing...

    720p

    Yep, I spent $5000 CAD on my Tosh 57HX81 that does not do 720p. My digital cable box upconverts everything to 1080i, so it's fine for that, but I play a lot of Xbox games that are 720p that I can not enjoy in 720p because the TV doesn't do it or convert it. I obviously was very unhappy when I...

    Avia calibration disc ?'s

    I don't know how long it's been on their site or when the expected release date is, but Avia Pro is "Coming Soon", so it might be a better idea to wait for that rather than buying the original Avia now. I suspect it will have a 6.1 test pattern to calibrate rear-center channels on newer HTs, and...

    Banzai! on Fox - Thoughts?

    It does look like the episodes Fox is airing are new because they are on in "Fox Widescreen." I suspect the previous versions of the show were not widescreen, as they recorded some time ago.
