KTVU channel 2 Oakland, Ca. broadcast the image in 1:1.3 on their HD channel...

I live in the Oakland Bay area and receive CBS, NBC in HD along with Directv 5 other HD broadcasts and soon they will add FOX. By the middle of next year there will be many more stations in HD from Directv.

That occurs when the program is not HD or CBS in origin. wait a while and chanel 80 will come back on. In the meantime you can tune in to channel 380, the same station in SD.

After three phone calls the situation was resolved and the future looks good. Soon Fox will be on its own satellite in HD and this time next year DIRECTV will have alot more HD channels. Goodbye VOOM.

In the wee hours of this morning channels 82 83 on DIRECTVs HD stations NBC began broadcasting. Getting DIRECTV to turn your receiver on is another issue. If you live in an area that does not receive an NBC broadcast as happens in my case one needs a waiver from the station you can not receive...

I came home today to find a unused replacement unit from Toshiba. Within 30 minutes I was on the phone to Toshibas 888 number. The only thing different about the replacement unit was that it did not have a noisy fan. The party I talked with at Toshiba had a 3100 in his office and found their...

Toshiba has asked me to return the receiver to their service dept, at my expence of course, for the problems I have mentioned above plus several more. The graphics are simpley blurry on both a HD and SD screen. Logos for TBS and Animal Planet are totally unrecognisable blurrs and reading the...

Toshiba announced its coming about a year ago as COMING SOON. They said how glorious it would be. O.K. I bought one yesterday with the money that I originally spent on a SONY SAT HD 300. I went through several Sony units and Sony did a buy back. When the Sony worked it looked good. The Toshiba...

The Sony SAT HD 300 is to be avoided, most of them still don't work right. I am awaiting another replacement unit from Sony and am "backlogged" 3 weeks. LG in Korea bult them and must supply new parts for over 100,000 units. Wait for the new Toshiba, maybe it will work...

Hold that final update! The refurbished unit is also showing flaws, consistant audio lockup and white horizontal lines appearing and staying untill the receiver is turned off and then back on. I think the Sony SATHD 300 is going to be a Sony/LG problem of major proportion. The units are...

The Final Update: I received a "refurbished" replacement unit from Sony last Thursday and within ten minutes of it running the unit experienced audio locking problem two times. No other malfunctions have been experienced. The audio problem only happened when I tuned to channel 2.1 KTVU, Oakland...

Eric Keep the LD, it is from the same cut, The DVD only looks better and that is the only thing better. As for the missing scenes... I just rechecked the DVD I admit that I slept through what I thought was missing. That puts the missing scenes to three. The first was a discussion between two...

Bruce I never in my post implied or wrote that I saw Marooned, the motion picture, on television or that this Marooned had a longer TV cut. There were two different productions, the first one was made for TV and yes I also saw that one. The TV production was the "earlier" production that I...

Gone is the 4 channel soundtrack for a 2 channel mostly monoral track. Also missing are at least four [4] scenes, cutting the time by about 5 minutes plus incomplete closing titles. The story is a true tragedy, an enjoyable to read tragedy... The film is even more tragic in its adaptation to the...

Another update: The store absolutely refuses to accept a return for exchange, which is contrdictory to what the sales receipt clearly states. I called Video Onlys other stores in the bay area to find that their managers tell customers over the telephone that they will exchange flawed...

Update: I e-mailed Sony two days ago and to date there is no reply. I called Video Only in San Leandro and was instructed by one of their staff that they will not make an exchange that would have to be done by DIRECTV. I called DIRECTV and they also deduced that I had a flawed unit and the...

After 11 days of using this receiver I thought I'd better post my non-professional review. The unit I am reviewing is Serial Number 0000 4721 5405 software version 1.06.00. Setting up is a snatch. It pulled in all local analog and digital broadcaster on the first tuning. Pulling in a...

Disconnect the roof antenna from the tele and run it into antenna input of your HD receiver. Some broadcasters send their HD/digital transmiswsions on the UHF or VHF bands, then some stations send the image in "digital NTSC" withou the HD. Good luck.

I got tired of waitingfot Toshiba to deliver what they said they were "on the docks" last May. My dealer gave me a fantastic deal on the 3rd generation high defination Sat. receiver from Sony, the SATHD 300. It weighs about 2 lb. more tha the Toshiba would and runs only "luke warm"

Toshiba announced last May '03 that this HD satellite receiver was to be shipped soon... Now it is almost 6 months later and there is now silence from Toshiba. Anyone out there in Forumland know what is going on at Toshiba?

Having read many reviews on the new Sony, Zenith, and Samsung I am staying away from them all. I am look in to the new Toshiba DST 3100, which short of reading a creadable review, may be the best. I currently have the Toshiba DST 3000, its problem is that the OTA analog tuner went south. Am...

Scott It is one big happy back lot that MANY film studios use. It also was called Revue Studio. Music Man, By By Birdie, Magnum Force, Twilight Zone, Leave it to Beaver, Marcus Welby, and many mor were folmed on that lot.

The LD was cut three scenes from its theatrical version. I do intend to get this, even though at its best it is terribley edited. Will post my thoughts on the completeness of the DVD version.

My gosh a lot of blind people making commentary about the aspect ratio of a film they arn't watching.... In the film is Major Boudrough!!!

No, there was only the "out of package" cable. I admit that this was a most unusual occurance. It had ben in place for a few weeks before I noticed a trail of ants on the cable itself.

I was getting short intertmittent burst of pink noise from my Meridian 568 and could not figure out what was causing it. So I recaliberated the processor,to no avail, the pink noise still continued. I then checked my connectors and found a colony of ants inside the shell of the RCA pin of a...
