    $3,500 to spend on new TV

    I’d love to hear some recommendations for a new TV with a budget of $3,500. 77” LG G2 is definitely on my radar, but I’m willing to listen. It will be in the basement so I’m not worried about glare. I’m not a gamer and I don’t care about sound as I’ll be hooking up with my Atmos 5.1.2. I prefer...

    Peacock Peacock - NBC/Universal Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    Hi, my name is Mark and I'm a streaming adict. .....Hi Mark....... I swore I was going to rotate these things, but now I subscribe to most of them, but not Peacock, I'm drawing the line there. You see, I have to have Netflix, just too much good original programming. And Prime, while we get...

    YouTube enters the streaming tv market

    I’m mostly a live sports and news watcher with plenty of entertainment available from Netflix, Hulu and others. The extra money won’t kill me but it irks me to pay for these new channels I’ll never watch.

    UHD Review Jojo Rabbit UHD Review

    Wow, just the opposite reaction from me, the first 20 minutes I was laughing out loud and anticipating what would happen. Loved it right from the start. Given the rave verbiage of the review, I'm wondering why you only gave the production 4/5. It's a 5 for me and in my top 3 films of 2019...

    General Discussion Digital Movie/TV Deals

    The best prices for digital are from individual sellers. I get them for far less than the best prices directly from Vudu or Fandango. There is a very good forum right on this sight, for instance, and many Facebook groups. For instance, I just purchased 4K version of Yesterday, Gemini Man and...

    Apple TV+ Apple TV+ Video Service - Exclusives, Shows and Subscribers discussion

    I wonder, is it possible to sign up by mistake? I did not go through a normal sign up, but I watched the first episode of some of the shows as it appeared they were offering the first episode free. However, then I noticed it was offering me the second episodes. I assumed when I clicked it...

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    Just read that even if you signed up for the three year deal, the free year with Verizon will still work, they'll just delay the three year purchase until the free year is up.

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    I understand the app will be on those devices. My question boils down to will there be a Disney+ channel on the Apple app in addition to an app on the physical AppleTV device. It seems likely but I haven’t seen that stated explicitly.

    Disney+ Disney+ Streaming Service (Official Thread)

    How does everyone plan to access the service? I've got Roku's around the house on non 4K sets, but my theater set, a Samsung smart TV, does not have a Roku. Is my best bet for streaming 4K on that set going to be through the Apple app? So far, I set no mention on that app of a Disney channel...

    Hockey Talk: The Official NHL 2008-2009 Thread

    I always forget that I can get HNIC on NHLHD now. Back in the day, I used to watch on Channel 9 in Windsor, but the Dish doesn't go there. Hey Scott, I see you live in Michigan. How is it you're not a Wings fan? There's been a lot to cheer about the last 11 years, 4 cups that is. Nice...

    Why is texting so expensive?

    That just freaks me out! I admit to being a dinosaur having never sent or felt the need to send a text, but you pretty much be texting every waking as well as most sleeping moments. I think most people cut off from tech at some point as they get older. I keep up with everything computer and...

    If you could bring a dead rock star back to life

    So many, but I'll give mention to Duane Allman because he hasn't been mentioned yet. But if I could play God this one time, no doubt I'm bringing back Stevie Ray Vaughan.

    Both players make their best 5 card hand, in this case: Player 1: 10 10 A 9 7 Player 2: 10 10 A J 7 Player 2 gets the pot.

    Upgrade Kenwood HTB-404?

    Jeff, You won't find much love for Bose around here. It is generally felt by most, myself included (past owner of Bose 901s), that much better speakers are available for the same money. I haven't been in the market lately (still love my 6 year old Boston Accoustics), but some names to...

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    Since I don't have any component cables that would work with the PS3, I just ordered an 8' HDMI cable from BJC, thanks for the tip. The $100 cable at BB was freaking me out a bit, much more reasonable to spend $30. I'll figure out the audio when it gets here, should have something that will...

    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    I managed to snag one off ebay for not too much of a premium. It'll be here early next week. My questions: 1. I want to hook up to my 720p Sony. Is HDMI the way to go or is component good enough. Do either require special cables or are normal cables usable? 2. I just saw that it plays...

    Don't like having your conversations recorded? Don't shop at Best Buy then!

    I don't mind giving them my phone number, here it is for anyone interested: 867-5309 I've also given them my "TV" number: 555-5555. They are always happy with either. I live on 123 Elm Street, Anytown, USA. My zip code is 11111. You get the idea.

    Your movie/tv show opposites. Where u go against the masses?

    Not all Hitchcock films are all that great, in fact, some are outright terrible including The Birds, The Lady Vanishes and Strangers on a Train. From a technical standpoint, Hitchcock had the worst "car ride" shots of any director I've ever seen. Chariots of Fire and Hope and Glory, is it...

    American Idol Season 4

    What imbecile picked those songs??? Why not let both of them sing the kinds of songs they will be putting on their future albums rather than a couple of crappy ballads by some no-name song writer. Very disappointing final.
