    music vs movie

    For me a balance of both is a crucial necessity. I have friends who really don't care about the sound to which I disagree. I watch a lot of music dvd's and the sound on most of them is better than front row seats to a concert. On the other hand I have found that the soundtracks to certain movies...

    Hit Me Baby One More Time

    I had hopes for this as a decent summer replacement..... WRONG! All in all it was pretty sad. I would have to agree there was a lot of canned tracks involved. Where did they get the host? As a general rule, groups that reunite without the founding members of the band tend to suck.

    I Got My XM !

    My feelings exactly. Reminds me of the way radio used to be. I live in a small mountain town where our only choices for radio are, shall we say, worn out! XM is the best thing since color television.

    iTunes, Apple ultimately in trouble?

    I have a G5 at work and to tell you the truth, if I could justify one at home I'd have one. I agree and enjoy iTunes very much. In my work environment we've had quite a few font problems on the G5 running Panther but they are just about under control. We do a lot of printing of customer photo's...

    iTunes, Apple ultimately in trouble?

    Patrick, I was not using the G5 as any type of measuring stick. I have a G5 and I'm well aware of the differences. I believe I compared the G5 to a comparable PC. I have not kept up with current pricing on the lower end Macs but from people I know who have purchased lower end Macs they were...

    iTunes, Apple ultimately in trouble?

    I think any company that can make a comeback as Apple has should be applauded. But..... until Macs are more affordable they will never see the mainstream as PC's have. The cost of a new G5 is outrageous as is the upper end PC line. Where you can get an entry level PC for about $500 or less you...

    Superbowl XXXV111 Broadcast

    Dave, Where I live there is no ota available for anything. I'm in the mountains in a very small town so there was no problem with Dish letting me have the service.

    Superbowl XXXV111 Broadcast

    Thanks for the info. Can't wait to see the game in high definition on Dish. Who knows... might even see the Broncos.

    iTunes, Apple ultimately in trouble?

    I don't see Apple going away in my lifetime. I've been in the graphic arts business for over 30 years and until a few years ago Mac was the only choice. When my wife and I opened our own business 6 years ago we were forced to have Macs. After getting acquainted with the difference from PC to...

    Any News on Dish921

    Has anyone heard any updates about the release of the Dish 921? I checked before Thanksgiving and all they could tell me was early spring. What happened to the late fall of 2003 release?

    Supposedly terrific movies that just didn't do it for you... and why.

    My most recent dissapointment was Pirates of the Caribbean. It came highly recommended but left me feeling... "What's the big deal". It's not that I found it to be a bad film, just fell way short of all the hype I've read about it. Maybe a second viewing is necessary to see what everyone is...

    Interesting XM Radio observations........

    I don't know why there would be so many variances in quality on the stations mentioned above. I just purchased a new truck with XM and it is great! The sound is not up to CD quality but compared to the FM choices where I live,(3), XM has them all beat. Like the man said, I'll never own another...

    ER Season Premier

    From what I've read, Luka is not dead, but comes back with some third world disease... have to wait and see. ER has lost a lot of its punch, but still better than most of the crap being served up. What happened to Anthony Edwards??? Is he working behind the camera now, haven't seen any sign of...

    Dish PVR 921 Coming In October

    Just recieved an email from DishNetwork announcing the release of the PVR 921 and the additon of 3 new choices for HD programming. The unit sounds pretty nice. A bit expensive but if DVR's are as great as I've read here in this forum...may have to try it out.

    Adding a Dish721PVR

    OK, I'm a little impatient and thinking seriously about not waiting for the "921 HD"model and adding a 721PVR. Here is the problem: I need to add this unit into my existing system and keep my Dish 6000 for HDTV. How big a job is this going to be other than the obvious hassle of switching...

    Anyone pick up the new Steely Dan yet?

    These days any new "Dan" is good "Dan"! Personally after my first listen I thought it was a bit more pop oriented than 2AN. Steely Dan Confessions cracked me up. I wonder if "Reeling in the Sheeves" will every be released on DVD A?

    Worth Waiting For Dish 921??

    I've been wanting to add a PVR for sometime and keep hearing about the HD Dish 921. Is this really ever going to come out? Anyone have any information on when this unit may be a reality? I've called Dish and they tell me they have no information on a release date, only some time this year. I do...

    New Eagles Music

    Anyone excited about new music from the Eagles? Downloaded the new single from the Apple Music store.... not exactly Hotel California, but these days I'll take anything new that doesn't have a hip hop sound. Not that hip hop is bad just us "oldies" still need some new music now and then. Does...

    Is Music Being Crowded Out By Movies?

    I agree Kevin, I've used Netflix since I bought my first player and have been well pleased with that type service. It's funny how things change. Twenty years ago I would sit down and "listen" to a cd with the same attention I would give watching a movie on DVD. These days just don't seem to be...

    Is Music Being Crowded Out By Movies?

    I have a question to all the folks who have large DVD collections. How often do you go back and pull a DVD off the shelf and rewatch it. I have a very moderate DVD collection, around 60 titles. Once I watch the movie I don't really enjoy watching it again say in the next couple of months unless...

    Is Music Being Crowded Out By Movies?

    I would tend to agree with most of the comments in these posts! Personally, like Kevin, I don't buy CDs like I used to. I remember walking into a CD store and after about an hour of browsing having to decide which ones I really wanted and which ones to put back and wait for my next trip. These...

    Mobile Fidelity Back?

    I live in an area where hybrid product is not available at all, except by mail order. I think its kinda like the widescreen, fullscreen dvd dillema. If people can buy new release CDs at Sams or Wal-Mart for $12.99 will they pay $20- $25 for a hybrid of the same disk? My thoughts are that most...

    Mobile Fidelity Back?

    I have not really kept up with the news on SACD disks. Am I correct in assuming that is requires a special player other than a DVD audio player? I got rid of most of my MOFI vinyl years ago... sorry to say. Do you guys find that the older vinyl releases on MOFI sound better than the current...

    Mobile Fidelity Back?

    I keep getting catalogs from a company called Music Direct with limited listings of the old Mobile Fidelity catalog. I also saw an ad that said new releases coming in 2003. Is Mobile Fidelity back in business? Is it the same company? Will they be releasing vinyl or just CD's? Anyone have any...
