    XM portable

    Delphi's My Fi excellent choice. RF transmitter strong enough to get excellent sound through car radio unlike earlier models with very weak transmitter resulting in lousy sound with interference. Even better now that Delphi is offering new repeater that allows you to get reception anywhere in...

    hdtv signal

    No, digital cable. Not doing it during Orange Bowl, must be bad feed from network during some games. Also for many games signal not much better than analog on CBS games. Time Warner service really sucks here, they don't even broadcast FOX in HD.

    hdtv signal

    I recently bought a Hitachi 50# LCD flatscreen. There are a limited number of HD channels in my area although most have excellent picture. Lately any time I watch an abc football game the picture and sound keep breaking up momentarily like a satellite feed sometimes does. Is this a problem with...

    DVD Planet customer service recently going down hill?

    I haven't ordered from DVD Planet for some time but recently ordered The Final Countdown, expecting it to arrive on the release date 3/30. I was told it shipped 3/26 and to expect it on or before 4/6. What the hell kind of service is this?

    And you thought (hoped) colorization was dead....

    Some films like Schindler's list shouldn't be colorized but others, for instance WWII films I feel can be enhanced by colorization. I obtained the colorized vhs of The Longest Day, found it much more enjoyable and realistic than the B+W version. In general I avoid old B+W films unless they are...

    What's up with Walmart,Sam's Club?

    I have been noticing almost no widescreen copies of recent releases on the shelves.There were about 50 copies of full screen Indiana Jones and The Matrix,no widescreen. Have they given up on the serious home theater enthiusiasts and are now catering the morons who only buy the "no black lines" crap?

    Stand Up Comedy on Dvd - Recommendations please...

    I also would like to recommend Robin Williams Live on Broadway. This was an HBO live presentation which is guaranteed to keep you laughing for the almost two hour show. Though not "family" material,fans will certainly enjoy this non stop ride through a variety of material,with nothing taboo or...

    Cleopatra, how is it?

    I have had this movie for some time but just got around to watching it. This belongs in everyone's collection,one of the all time classics. It is worth it for the visual spectacle alone. The transfer is beautiful,the audio not bad either. This was the film that changed Hollywood,making Elizabeth...

    *** "WINDTALKERS" Review Thread

    I also enjoyed this movie and would give it four stars. The battle sequences were excellent and I thought very realistic.I can't wait for the DVD.Incidentally some people may notice that parts of the movie were shot on the same location as the scene in Pearl Harbor where the Japanese planes are...

    Can anyone recommend a good DOCUMENTARY DVD?

    I would recommend any of the PBS productions.So far I have watched Napoleon and Lewis and Clark,both excellent.I also have Thomas Jefferson which I'm sure will be just as good.I've heard Mark Twain is also excellent.

    Can anyone recommend a good DOCUMENTARY DVD?

    The two disc set Blue Planet,produced by the BBC,is an extremely well done documentary about the sea and all its wildlife.The photography is beautiful,much of it amazing.It includes animals and plants,from the whales to the smallest species that inhabit the ocean floor. We are shown many...

    History DVDs

    I just watched an A+E documentary called Heros of Iwo Jima.It tells the story behind the famous photograph of the flag raising on Mt.Surabachi and the individuals who participated.This is actually an account of two separate flag raisings,photographed by two different war photographers,the second...

    History DVDs

    I agree World at War is a great series,probably the best WWII documentary.However for those completing the 21 hour plus marathon,if they are like me,their unwatched DVD pile will increase significantly if they watch 1 or 2 episodes a day!I am also anxious to get The Men Who Killed Kennedy on...

    History DVDs

    I would like to recommend the PBS dvd on Napoleon.Very well done documentary narrated by David McCollough tells the story through portraits of historical figures as well as battlefield recreation scenes by reenactors in France.Although 4 hours long and slightly expensive at $25 it is very...

    Anyone watch 'Davy Crockett' yet?

    I just watched the set which was quite enjoyable.Many people on this forum are probably too young to have experienced the original release of this series.Released in 1954 and 1955 the first 3 installments were such a success that Disney came back a year later with 2 additional episodes.These are...

    Express.com

    What's up with Express.com?Supposedly they are back in business trying to win back customers with the summer sale.I placed an order a week ago,started with about 8 titles and gradually cut that back to 3 as they changed their status from available to back order because I didn't want to pay a...
