    The Apprentice 6: Los Angeles

    Just watched Sunday's episode. I have to tell you, I used to really like this show. At the end my wife and I looked at each other and thought - why are we watching this? The "tasks" are meaningless - collect honey and sell it? Shouldn't the tasks be real-world tasks that Trump would ask of his...

    Need Some Help...Now Feeling Discouraged About Sammy DLP's...

    I have the Sammy DLP 61", and LOVE it. I do have the XBOX issue mentioned, but like was stated, I am rarely in the console (ok, I recently signed onto XBOX Live, so I switched the cables temporarily, but for what I have, I can definitely live with this. Have not noticed the sound delay at...

    DirecTV installation just scheduled - any tips?

    Oh, and this might help as far as my telephone vs ethernet question: My receivers are the Samsung SIR-TS160 and the Hughes HDVR2. Thanks.

    DirecTV installation just scheduled - any tips?

    The lady scheduled for a slot on Saturday morning so I can be around to 'help'. She said that each receiver needs a telephone jack within 15' of it, or an extra charge will occur. Any way around this I.E. ethernet? Also, I have a tile roof. Any suggestions or things to avoid for the...

    ***Official "PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN" Review Thread

    Scott hit the nail on the head - I wasn't expecting much, but my wife who bleeds mouse-ears dragged me to it. Extremely entertaining, right from the start it hooked me. Very captivating, its a cross between The Mummy and Cutthroat Island, except better than both. My prediction is that this...

    DVI switching - can it be done with a component?

    Here's a question that I've run into that nobody seems to know about: how do you switch more than one DVI feed? For example, the Sammy 61" DLP has a single DVI input. The Sammy HDTV Satellite Receiver has a single DVI output. The new Sammy DVD player(s) have a single DVI output. Which...

    Samsung?

    I am in the same situation - I finally picked the 61" over the 56" (although its in the ultra-high end Tantus line, according to Samsung - not available until August). Now just wrestling with all of the other components to support it, and hoping to swing a nice total deal for one of two local...

    John, Can you tell us how you know its the end of July? I've also been looking for info on this - Samsung's pressroom does have the release in April announced, but it also says that these new models are available now. What I need most of all are the exact dimensions of the unit - we...

    How should I do this DirecTV install?

    No reason for the Sony - its the tuner that keeps showing up when I've looked for what I need. I didn't know about the Zenith. Thanks for the ideas!

    How should I do this DirecTV install?

    Hi, I am in a new home, with no previous DirecTV dish installed. I have been getting flooded with offers from all of the dish installers in the area, claiming 2 room dish installations for free, etc. What I want is this: Bedroom and office - installed with standard receivers. Media...

    Basic XP Upgrade Question.

    Kraig's suggestion is right on the money. Wintel OS's get very bloated very fast. An add-on suggestion: once you get a stable "clean" XP system make a Symantec Ghost image to a second drive or CD-R. Follow this up with weekly (or monthly, if you don't change things much) backups (using the...

    Sony KF-60XBR800 (60") vs. Samsung HLN617W (61")

    If space was not an issue, the lighting were just about perfect for either one, either one was free (but only one), and you had to select by the end of the month, which one would you choose? And why?
