I just got a Rotel RSX 1055 receiver and am trying to get the thing set up. I did manage to get the on screen menu to come up once and even tried to select a few things but it stopped responding almost immediately. I know everything is hooked up OK because I do see the on screen menu when I...

I recently bought a house, which meant that I could finally get a surround sound system (already have a Toshiba Widescreen TV) with out my apartment neighbors wanting to kill me. So I go down to my local high end audio store and price out an "entry level" system. Came out to around $3- 4 K...

The United States Grand Prix (USGP) is this weekend in Indianapolis, IN. Anyone else going? I've been to the three previous USGPs in Indy. I've been there for all three days previously but that won't work out this year, instead I'll be driving Friday afternoon & Saturday morning and hope to be...

Well last Sunday's wet and weird race just gets weirder. The FIA is now reviewing whether or not Fisichella had crossed the start finish line when the Red Flag came out. IF he had, then the race ended on lap 56, not 55 as was previously assumed. In this case the positions would revert to lap 54...

The rumors that have been swirling around for weeks about F1 Supremo Bernie Ecclestone buying the CART series are gaining some substance: Link Removed IF this is really true it will be very interesting to see how it develops. Bernie was absent from last month's USGP (it is rare for him to...

Filming is now under way for a film adaptation of Patrick O'Brian's The Far Side of the World. Aubrey is played by Russel Crowe, and Maturin by Paul Bettany. I don't see Crowe as Aubrey, but by all accounts Crowe takes his parts very seriously, even going so far as to take violin lessons for...

Just a heads up for the WRC fans on the board: its off to Africa this time for the "Safari" Rally in Kenya. Should be a good one, very tough on the cars and not all of the Special Stages are closed! A Helicopter flies ahead of the cars to warn of other hazards on the roads trucks, buses...

Today is the 8th anniversary of the death of Ayrton Senna da Silva, perhaps the greatest race car driver ever. Senna was killed at Imola during the Italian Grand Prix. That weekend also saw the death of popular Austrian Rookie Roland Ratzenberger the previous day, and a massive crash during...

I don't know whether this belongs here oor in the TV section, but I just have to publicly rant about the crappy service I am getting from Time Warner Cable in Johnson County, KS. I have digital cable from them, and it is terrible. They cram more and more niche channels into it with ever...

Did anyone watch the WRC Rally Catalunya this weekend? Gilles Panizzi is something else, and that donut at the Viladrau Bridge hairpin was absolutley fantastic! I love the in-car shot with him waving to the crowd and the confused look on his co-driver's face. Many race dirvers will do...

Now that the maroons over on the FOX TV side have cancelld the excellent Futurama, and given that DVDs are already out in R2, is there any reason not to release this show on DVD in R1?

I'm thinkking about buying a Suburu WRX. I have had a Miata for the last 10 years and its getting a little old (110,000+ miles) so its about time to get a new car. The Miata corners and brakes just great but isn't exactly fast. The WRX sounds like a cross between the Miata and my Dad's...

2001, lego, one minute! A must see: One A Space Odyssey ------------------ -- Will Work for Five Million Dollars

Another great episode. This show has to be the best written drama on US TV right now. I felt bad for C.J. with her monumental screw-up last night. I hope they don't fire her as she is one of my favorite characters on the show. Any opinions, comments on last night's show? ------------------...

Well about this time last week we heard about Warner's Willy Wonka debacle, which led to speculation about whether Warner would butcher other "family" titles. Seeing as The Neverending Story is due a week after Wonka, I was wondering if any reviewers out there have got preview copies of NES...

I saw the new print of Holy Grail last night! It was a lot of fun to see this movie with 600 other Python fans! The repetition of lines by the audience was kept relatively under control It was fun though when everyone let out a half-hearted "Yay!" when they were forced to eat Robin's...
