Hi there... I have a buddy that recently informed me that he was going to buy some Bose speakers. "Why?" you might ask... Well, he likes the small size of the speakers. He told me that if I could find a better substitute, he would buy something else. I think he can do a lot better for his money...

I have a friend who wants to buy a new TV. She currently has digital cable, and HD on some stations will probably be available within the year. She wants this TV to last around 5 or 6 years. 90% of her viewing will be 4:3. She ideally wants to get a 36" tube, but HD only seems to be affordable...

My family in planning a trip to Las Vegas, and I have some questions: (Please keep in mind we want to stay on the strip) 1) We're looking at March, are there certain weeks or times of the week that is more advantageous to go? Weekend, weekday, early in the month, later in the month, etc...

I have a Sony SAT-A4 DSS receiver. It has optical digital output for DTS and DD decoding. I don't have the manual anymore, but who needs one anyhow? I have a power cord, remote, and can send some composite cables, if needed. It has been deactivated for about 4 months, but it does have the card...

I just found out that my wife is pregnant, so I wanted to return my Xbox game. Best Buy took everything back except for my Halo game. Can someone help me out? I'll sell it for $47 and cover shipping. I'd also consider trading it for 2 or 3 DVDs of interest to me: Swordfish Enemy at the Gates...

I just found out that HDNet is now broadcasting on DirecTv channel 199. They are primarily showing baseball in HD, but they will be showing some NHL in October and maybe the Olympics coming up. Starting in October, they are supposed to be broadcasting 16 hours a day, all in HD. Their web site...

I'm looking for a good CD/DVD for checking sound levels. I have the Video Essentials, but I couldn't find any frequency sweeps on it. My receiver is a Rotel, and it only has white noise generation. I'd like to check my DBs at various levels. Any ideas? I'm looking for a cheap solution. I...

I was at a local HT shop, and I was looking at some subwoofers, and the salesman asked if I was looking to buy a subwoofer. I said that I already had a very good sub, and he asked what kind. Well, I told him that I have an SVS, and that he might not have heard about it because it was a internet...

I'm interested in getting the Panasonic RP-91. I've been quoted $629 locally, and was thinking that this was a real high price. Any thoughts on this, or suggestions on where to look? Thanks! (I tried the search, but it was down.)

I just upgraded to another TiVo unit. I'd like to keep it, but finances tell me otherwise. I don't believe I have the original box, but I will have it packaged well. Manuals, remote and most cables are included: S-Video, Phone Cable, composite cable, serial controller and infrared controller...

I've noticed that Best Buy had the Toshiba DST-3000 on the shelf the other day. (No price or anything on it.) I asked the salesman about the Sony SAT-HD100, and he said: "We're getting a lot of new equipment in, and it is supposed to be out next week. I think we're getting the DH DirecTv...

I have an answer right here, and it's nothing too earth-shattering (or surprising) to me. When I recently went into a Circuit City, ABC Warehouse, and Best Buy (the only places to get HDTVs here in Jackson, Michigan) the salespeople had no idea what HDTV was. Here are some examples of what they...

I have a Sony KP-61HS10, and I just found out that a local station about 25 miles away just began broadcasting this last Sunday in High Definition. (They did not advertise this fact until after the Superbowl!! That is another issue.) What is the minimum I need to receive the signal? I'm really...
