I currently have a Denon 3802 receiver which I have been happy with for several years. But now that I'm adding various HD components I'm not sure it can handle everything I need it to. I've been researching it on the forum but I'm not 100% clear on all the new HD audio specs so I'm hoping you...

I have a Channel Master 4221 antenna connected to my STB with RG-6 cable. It's a long run from my roof to the basement. I'm considering adding HDTV to another TV in my house. Can I just split the signal and run it to another STB? Or will I most likely need to get an amp? Thanks! Anthony

I've noticed that when I'm viewing something on my pj, depending on the scene, I can see a thin black/grey, horizontal line that moves from the bottom of the screen to the top. Is this related to the the dreaded ground loop in some way?

I'm ready to try and get my OTA STB hooked up. I've read through many of the antenna posts and this is what I think I need. Am I right or wrong? My STB is a Samsung SIR-T351. My projector is a Toshiba TLP-X10, 720p native. Here is my antennaweb info: *yellow -...

I have a JBL DSP-10 subwoofer that I use for my "secondary" home theater. Basically it's a small setup for the kids in the family room. Recently I woke up at night hearing a LOUD, constant boom that was coming from the sub. It almost sounds like it is stuck on a particular frequency and is...

I need a DVI cable to hookup my HD tuner to my PJ. The tuner has a DVI-D connection, the PJ has a DVI-I connection. It's not quite clear to me which type of cable I need. Do I just get a DVI-D on both ends? I looked for a "mixed" cable on BlueJeansCable but didn't anything that looked like it...

I bought this unit several months ago from Amazon.com but have switched back to a multi-disc player. This is a great little progessive scan player. The unit is in excellent condition and was lightly used. I have the remote, instructions and maybe the original box(I have to check the attic)...

Here's another item I bought and don't need. This is a 35' VGA cable, 15pin HD male on both ends, never used. Inline 8000 series. Here is a link (see upper left photo): http://www.inlineinc.com/products/coax/pdf/IN8000.pdf I'm asking $50 plus shipping. PM me or email me at...

I bought this and then ended up not using it. It's the Monster Cable Video 2 Component Cables. They are 2m in length. The package has never been opened. This retails for about $70. I'm asking $40 plus shipping. I think USPS Priority Mail is $4.00 now. PM me or email me at...

I have a 5 year old that wants to play some X-Box games. I tried renting a few that I thought he could operate but it was still pretty hard for him. He could handle the first level of Crash Bandicoot:TWOC, but beyond that he was stuck. I'm considering giving Shrek a try. Any suggestions...

I have 4 popcorn items for sale. You can use these to make your popcorn taste just like real movie theater popcorn!! The caramel and kettle corn flavors taste great as well! Flavacol 1 qt containers $3.00@, this is what you need to achieve the movie theater taste. But go easy on it! It's...

OK, by classic I mean old! These components are from my wife's stereo system when she was a teenager. Under penalty of death I can't reveal how long ago that was but let's just say the early eighties. Both of these units still work sort of. They both power up and produce sound, but it didn't...

I've been enjoying my MD equipment for the last few years but not following any news on the media. Now I see that they have MDLP which allows more minutes on a disk at a lower quality. If I want to use this do I need to buy a new deck or portable recorder that has the MDLP feature? Are the...

I'm not convinced the Sherwood Newcastle line actually exists. Has anyone seen the new R-963 receiver? Frankly, my attempts to even find one to look at have met with such resistance that I would hesitate to buy one even if I could find it. So far I have: 1. Sent Sherwood an email asking...

Help! I'm putting together a basement home theater with 7.1 sound. I have to make a quick decision on something. I can purchase a new Marantz 8200 for $960 or a SR18EX for $1,440. Neither can be returned or comes from an authorized dealer. I'm researching them now but I wanted advice from...

56k has finally broken my will to be cheap and DSL nor cable internet are available to me. Here in MD, that leaves me with satellite internet. My question is which ones would you recommend? I want to be able to wirelessly connect 2 other computers and a laptop in my home. Cost is a...

I'm starting to think about upgrading some of my equipment. One thing I don't have now but have read a lot of posts about is an amplifier. My question is why do you need one? I know they just don't add volume, so what are the benefits of having one? Also, what is the difference between a...

The future basement HT will be 15'x30' with an 8' ceiling. I want great bass(don't we all?) but I don't want so much that my wife can hear it in the bedroom upstairs! Any suggestions on how much sub I need? Thanks! Anthony

I'm trying to add home theater to very small room so space is my number one concern, cost second. What I've looked for, and haven't found yet, is a receiver that does both DD and DTS surround sound. It doesn't need to have anything fancy or even a lot of power, just be small and cost...

Someone had posted a link to a website that does the math for you and compares 4:3 screens to 16:9 in derms of area. I've searched around on the forum but I can't find the message where the link was. Anyone know? Thanks! Anthony

Where can I find information on when HDTV is supposed to be fully implemented? My memory says 2005 or something close to that but I've learned my memory ain't what it used to be. :) And what are the requirements? Specifically, will cable companies HAVE to broadcast in HDTV by then? Or is...

I'm trying to get up to speed on HDTV because I want to purchase a new RPTV soon and I'm looking at the Mit. WS65857 or WS65807, Toshiba 65H80 or 65H81, and the Sony HS models. I'm not planning on going to DBS anytime soon so if I wanted to receive HD I need to get an HDTV antennae first. Then...

I'm looking at the Mit WS65857, WS65807 and Sony HS models at Tweeter. Does anyone know if they will price match or negotiate on price at all? I REALLY like the WS65857 but it is a little out of my price range at their current price of $3,700. Thanks! Anthony
