Jack, I've said my peace. I'll leave it up to the thread creator. I don't want to stifle opinion, but sometimes a little courtesy by others would be nice.

Jack, I agree. If you want to draw out those with negative feelings towards a particular Star Trek show, just create a thread about how you like said show. It happened in the Enterprise thread and it happened here. I for one would be happier if they just created their own "Mirror" thread.

Tom, I'm assuming you were being sarcastic. As for the rest of you, can't you just take it for entertainment value and enjoy it?

Count me in. I really enjoyed this series as well.

Does anyone have trouble watching HD in Phoenix. When I watch it on 45-1, I get a letterbox version with bars on left and right as well. Are they not broadcasting in HD?

Sorry Chu, I should clarify my earlier post. I actually removed the woofer from the enclosure and wired it to an old stereo and it was not working.

I haven't got that far myself. I just bought one of the new slim PS2s and it came with a disc that walked you through the network connection. It saves it to a memory card so that the games can use it. After that, I assume each game is different in how it connects.

Greg, Thanks for the information. How much did they charge?

Brian, It's funny you bring that up. I never thought it possible. But, yesterday I hooked the speaker straight to an old boom-box I had in the garage and sure-enough no sound. Shows you how much I know about speaker design. I wonder if I can replace the woofer (if you could call it that in a...

Typically your DSL provied won't know the difference between a computer connected or a router. In some cases, however, they look for what's called a MAC address.

Andrew, Thanks for the reply. I'll take a look and see what I can tell.

One of my Take 2s in the Take 5 system has a bad crossover as nothing is getting to the woofer. The manual says it has a crossover point of 2.5khz, then it says Built-in High pass @ 90hz. Can anyone tell me where I can get such a crossover?

Wow! How did I miss this stuff. I download the Alexander clip today and was just blown away. I've been holding out to get a new video card with component output, but this may put me over the edge!

Very informative. Thanks

Erik, I've built many a PC over the years. What components did you use. You say it's tiny, did you use a Mini-ITX motherboard? I'm primarily interested in the audio side but would like to know what kind of quality you get on the video side.

Does anyone have advise on digital audio servers? I would like to convert my CD collection to make them more accessable. I have about 300 discs.

I don't know if it's possible or not. I do know that I have many laserdiscs and have never seen it. I would doubt it as the player would have to change speed (or type of speed) in the middle of a side. I would think that would be difficult to do.

Wow! I totally lost track of time.

Thanks Rob, that's what I thought. I much prefer to own the real thing.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the Slayers DVDs on Ebay. I assume their fake. They seem to have all 3 seasons in one box with 3 disks each. When I rented from Netflix the first season had 4 disks. What gives?

Thanks john, I pretty much thought that as well. I have heard some people say, however, that it can degrade the picture. That's my real question.

I'm considering getting a new receiver and was thinking about getting one with component up-conversion so that I can switch my LD player through the receiver. I'm not sure I buy into any improvement in video but I'm worried about actually degrading the video. Any thoughts?

I don't have this model, but I have a Hughes receiver and it does not have a removable cord.

I disagree. I actually like Enterprise. I hope they do not cancel it.

Robert, I use DirecTV on my 55 inch HDTV. The picture for the most part looks good. I haven't had Digital Cable before so it's hard to do a comparison. I do notice some compression artifacts on certain channels. I think (I can't verify it) that they are compressing certain channels more than...

I want to buy a backup for my failing Marantz LD player. Must play both sides and provide digital audio output (PCM and AC3-RF). Also, must include remote. Manual a plus.

Anybody got an update. Mine still isn't fixed.

This change has made a terrible mess to my RCA Ultimate TV Receiver. I can now no longer get 5 or 6 channels. 249, 300, 377 and a couple of others. DirecTV and RCA are working on the problem.
