I ended up going with the HD72. I very seriously considered the HD70 but I got scared off by the 8bit DAC. I do kind of wish that I had done a tiny bit more research before I pulled the trigger. I love the projector so far...it is a HUGE improvement over the Z3. It is so much better that I am...

Thanks for the opinion, I really appreciate it. I have been following the HD70 which is the model that is at $999. The HD72 is around $1500 still. I have been considering the HD70 but the 8 bit DAC has me concerned about the vibrancy of the colors. It has made me consider the HD72 because it...

Hi, I sent my sanyo PLV-Z3 projector in for warrantee repair and it turned out that my problems (blue splotchy areas) was caused by the air filters being clogged with dust and the projector overheating and frying the LCD panels. That is not covered by the warrantee and will run me about $700...

I did a ton of research into this. I was tasked with finding a large 4:3 screen capable of doing 1600x1200. I was surprised to discover that 24" is about as large as the 4:3 monitors go. 30" is about as high as the widescreen monitors go. You can get much larger, but they are all 16:9 with HDTV...

He should be two screen lengths away. Unfortunately it is a vauge question by nature, which is why it is so difficult to find information about it. I consider the difference between standard def TV and HDTV to be a very dramatic difference. My friend said that he saw a dramatic difference...

Here is an interesting article I found on techdirt a couple of days ago. It supports that the deal has helped XM. The # of subscribers claiming O&A as the reason they signed up has doubled, which they are apparently asked when they sign up...

Hi, I was recently discussing the differences between EDTV and HDTV projectors. He has an old infocus EDTV projector with a native resolution of 852x480. He is contemplating upgrading to a 1280x720 full HDTV projector. He asked me a question about it and I did not have a good answer so I got...

I think the O&A show has definitely improved after moving to CBS and XM. One major thing it has done is force the guys to get to the point quicker. When it was just XM they would go off on a subject for an hour and a half straight, then move on. Now they pretty much go in 20 min spurts due to...

Hi, I am looking for information on how wall color affects the picture quality of a projector and if anyone has any suggestions for what colors would be best. I remember finding info on this stuff in the distant past but it has taken a long time to get the projector area ready and I can't...

I don't think the "The Batman" thing is a bandwagon issue. I remember discussions about that from 12+ years ago when I was a comic book collector. The part that annoys me is I can't remember what context it was in, quite frustrating really. lol. I have to agree that seeing rupert thorn as a...

I just watched the new Batman cartoon that premiered on the WB Sat morning. It is nice to have a new batman fix, but I think it will take a few episodes for me to really judge it. It is really hard not to compare it to Batman:The Animated Serries, which was sooo good there is little chance of...

I really like TSS, but I haven't finalized my opinion on the new set and new host yet. I feel like they need more time to get used to each other. Kevin and the new guy seem to stumble over each other at times, ie not knowing who should talk when, ect. I expect that will get better with time. I...

Thanks for posting about this! I would have totally missed it, now I can catch the repeat on sunday...whew.

Thanks for the info, I was worried I would be missing out on too much back history to pick up SG-1 this late in the game and worried that might be the case with Atlantis as well. It looks like the "reiterate stuff for the new viewers" might work to my advantage for a change. :) I think I will...

I was wondering if I should watch SG Atlantis or not. I haven't watched the SG-1 serries but find myself thinking that I missed a good show. I have been wanting to pick it up but not till I could see it from the start. I am wondering if I should jump on board with Atlantis or hold off on that...

I am a TV addict, but I can't find much I really enjoy watching these days. With Angel and Buffy gone, and everything else in repeats I am suffering a drought. I like Tough Crowd with Colin Quin, that show is consistantly funny and he has some of my favorite comics on as guests occasionally...

I was just reading the TVGuide site and they had a very cool tidbit of information about the Buffy animated serries. http://www.tvguide.com/news/entertainment/ I remember hearing that they were going to re-start production on the animated serries from somewhere before this, but I didn't...

Talk about a coincidence, I finished Season Six last night on DVD as well. Chuck, you just put into words almost exactly how I feel about season six. I was fairly disapointed with the seaon as I watched it when it aired on UPN. After watching the season on DVD I was able to overlook some of the...

I am familiar with the TiVo Community site, it has been very handy for me in the past. I was involved in a botched Serries 2 hard drive upgrade for a friend and they helped save my bacon. :) It is an awesome site for anyone looking for TiVo information...which should be anyone who doesn't have...

Thanks for the info guys, I feel much better about the whole process now. I can handle things getting garbly once in a while, I just don't want to miss large blocks of programming. I am still a little nervous about the picture quality though. I have spent an abnormal amount of time staring at...

Howdy, I have been thinking about switching to DirectTV and have had some trouble finding answers to a few questions that have come up. I am hoping that you guys will be able to help me fill in the blanks so I can decide if DirectTV is right for me. I am a TV fanatic, I watch lots of TV and I...

So far I have not noticed many instances where I could tell the rears were being used. I have always suspected that was because things were designed to be immersive. The only time I ever noticed it was during an episode of Babylon-5. There was an insane person running down a hallway hearing...

I have to admit fear of a show getting cancelled does affect my viewing habits. The best example I can think of is last night. I TiVo'ed Survivor, and watched Friends in live TV while that survivor recorded. I wanted to watch Tru Calling and was debating between watching Friends and Tru Calling...

This week's episode was fairly interesting, I am not quite sure what to make of it. It certainly got my conspiracy theory brain-hampsters running in thier wheels. I am very curious about the whole "how is this going to fit into the mythos" deal and am particularly intriqued by this big "8"...

It really would be a great strat too, look at what almost happened to rupert. If I was as buff as Osten, I would definately be worried about being seen as a "threat". That could be really interesting...still that could backfire easy too...out of who is left on the team I would vote for osten if...

The first thing I thought when the episode started was wondering about Friday the 13th...wasn't that serries set on Crystal Lake as well? Then when the "he's after me" sequence started I couldn't help but think of Jason. :) I was totally expecting the "It was a dream" thing, but I was totally...

I liked this episode, smallville has been on an upswing for a while now. It is really quite impressive. I do have one recurring thought though, how on earth does Superman survive on earth with so many people knowing that kryptonite is detrimental to him, and such an abundance of the stuff...

I like Spike on Angel, it makes more sense to me than it did when he was on Buffy. Spike and Angel have a real history and Angels friends are all used to not staking a vampire with a soul. I imagine that in the process of getting ghost Spike into coporeal Spike, they will come up with a...
