    Singin' in the Rain SE - "Ultra-Resolution"

    The original press release said there would be a release "in the fall." Was there any mention of it at the Academy screening? Any date? Also, how was the panel discussion?

    small, low cost speakers?

    Ideally, I'd like to spend no more than a hundred bucks but could go beyond that. A five speaker setup is more than I'd like to have in this room. I really don't need a subwoofer or surround speakers. In fact, what I'm tempted to do is to buy a five speaker system and use the speakers that...

    small, low cost speakers?

    Can anyone recommend a pair of small speakers that would work well for TV/DVD and music? Right now I have to have the TV on to listen to music, but I'd rather pipe the sound through my amplifier. But, my bookshelf speakers are not really appropriate for the space where I have everything set up...

    What are the best foreign (non-English OSL) films?

    OSL: French Title: Les Parapluies de Cherbourg / The Umbrellas of Cherbourg I love this film because: Jacques Demy has a completely unique voice as a director and this is his masterpiece. It's a musical in which every line of dialogue is sung -- which may be initially a shock, but once you...

    It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Restoration discussion thread

    Can somebody direct me to the URL for Ronald Epstein's article on "It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World." I've searched the site for 20 minutes now and haven't been able to find it -- it's probably right in front of me but for whatever reason I don't see it. Thanks, -- Don

    i can't get my tivo download

    A software update takes around 20 minutes to download if the modem connects at its maximum data rate. If your call is taking over an hour, the modem is connecting at a lower speed. You may have a noisy phone line. Are you using a wireless modem? These often add noise to the line and cause...

    Questions regarding TiVo

    Note that the DirecTV with TiVo product will record the bitstream directly to disk. That means that the recording quality is exactly the same as if you had recorded it live. That's definitely better than S-VHS. Thus, if you're recording for the purpose of timeshifting then the DirecTV with...

    Ultimate TV - RCA vs. Sony?

    TiVo makes it much easier to find, record, and manage your programs than Microsoft Ultimate TV. Here are some examples to back up that opinion: Set up a Season Pass for Frasier. If it moves to a different night, TiVo will still record it. Ultimate TV will not. If there are special "back to...

    stupid questions

    TiVo lets you do something that your VCR doesn't -- and that's watch any previously record programs while you're in the middle of recording a new show. Thus, in your scenario, while the baseball game is being recorded your wife and kids can be watching ANY program that has previously aired. A...
