    Good universal remote?

    Just throwing in my 2¢... I had a Radio Shack 2115 (the 2116 is out now) up until recently.. It did most everything I wanted and it had a small LCD screen that came in handy and could learn from other remotes and such.. For the price, it was a good remote.. Unfortunately, the learning...

    Anyone else a boardgame nut?

    When you get enough people together, board games can be a lot of fun... I used to play a lot a few years back, but not so much anymore... :frowning: My favorite is Solarquest... I found on accident actually.. A friend wanted to play this game he had which was falling apart and such from being...

    Daredevil $5 off DVD coupon

    Mine worked at Wal-Mart as well... I got mine for $9.95 after the rebate.. Not as good as Doug, but any new DVD under $10 is a GREAT deal... :)

    I've about had it with our roomate!!!

    Well, we haven't got a chance to talk to her yet.. She actually is sick (and is currently sitting on our couch in the living room coughing all over the place)... So, I should schedule in that I'll be getting sick sometime this weekend... :frowning: She wasn't home when we got home last night...

    I've about had it with our roomate!!!

    Well the room is in the living room (no dedicated home theater just yet) but it's also where we watch regular TV and listen to music, all of which we can't do since she has 'claimed her spot' I don't mind that she watches movies on it, but I do mind when she does it without asking if it's...

    I've about had it with our roomate!!!

    Yes, I am probably being anal about this, but I feel that just because she lives there, she doesn't have the right to just use my equipment whenever she feels like it... Common courtesy is really all I ask... I am being more passive about the situation since she is my wife's friend...

    I've about had it with our roomate!!!

    Okay, my wife and I (more my wife than I actually) was trying to be nice and offer a place to stay for her friend who wanted to move out of her parents house... Well, no faster than she moved in, she has started using my home theater equipment (mostly the DVD player) ALL THE TIME while we are...

    Ford Escape vs. Toyota RAV 4

    I have driven both cars (work for a auto group) and own both a Ford & Toyota... The Rav4 is pretty nice.. I considered one, but once I got in, I felt cramped (as I do in our Corolla as well) in the drivers seat.. I am 6' and am always feeling like I need to push the seat back, but it is...

    TV Corner Discoloration

    Cool, that's kinda what I thought, but it is always nice to get a second (or third) opinion... I just wanted to make sure... Thanks again for the help! -Jason

    TV Corner Discoloration

    I have a 32" Sharp TV set and recently I moved it out of the entertainment center it sits in so we could move it and when I put the set back, there was a green discoloration in the right hand corner of the screen when we turned everything back on... I figured it had to be the right speaker of...

    Car Paint Question...

    Good news, I got a response from Zaino (Very fast response, I like that!) and from Toyota themselves (I emailed them almost a week ago) and both said yes, I do have a clear coat paint job... :) Then Toyota went into the history of how they paint cars and their process and steps.. Quite...

    Car Paint Question...

    Maybe I'll ask them too.. Yeah, I am getting the Zaino stuff... I have been following the threads for a while.. ;) Talked the wife into getting it for her car and my new car, but have been trying to find out about her car, but it doesn't say anywhere if it is or isn't.... That's the...

    Car Paint Question...

    My wife has a 2001 Toyota Corolla that has the Indigo Ink paint (8p4)... Now, I have been looking all over the net, and even asked my local dealership, trying to find out whether this color has a clearcoat to it.. Would anyone know whether this color has a clearcoat to it or not? I don't believe...

    Car Alarms

    Ted: Yep, I am in your neck of the woods... In fact, I was up in Sac over the weekend... Which was probably a mistake with that college track meet going on... Anyway, I figured installation would be important... That's why I was not wanting to attempt this myself.. I like DYI stuff, but.. I...

    Car Alarms

    Well, it'll be a newer car, so I don't think I would personally like to try do it... Knowing my luck, I'd finish and end up with 'extra' parts... :b Although, when I installed my stereo in the car I have now, I did a decent job.. :) But I am sure alarms are much harder... I'd probably have to...

    Car Alarms

    Yeah, I usually ignore the car alarms too, which is why the pager idea seemed to be be a good idea, I just wasn't sure if they were actually good or not... That Alarm is pretty comprehensive! I'm not sure I need anything that 'feature rich', but it is pretty cool... ;) And what about...

    Car Alarms

    Okay, I soon may be in the market for a car alarm (if all goes right).. I tried searching for different models and features, but found little information and pricing... So, I was wondering if anyone here knows where I could find information for car alarms or if anyone could recomend any...

    He stole a gamecube

    The sad part is that if you go to a bigger chain store (like a Wal-Mart or Target), it's actually quite easy to steal stuff, as long as it doesn't have an anti-theft device.. I used to work at a Wal-Mart and saw stuff stolen all the time... Towards the end of working there, we finally got a...

    Price Matching?

    I believe the same price is in the store, but they are out of stock at the closest store to me. You can order it on the website and have it delivered to the store as well. I will probably call them tonight to see if they'll let me do it or not. Thanks for the help! -Jason

    Price Matching?

    would this work on regular (non-ad) items as well? Like if I printed the item from the other companies website and brought that in, would they price match against that too? -Jason

    Price Matching?

    I was just wondering if Best Buy did price matching on DVD's and/or electronic equipment (ie: Speakers, DVD Players, etc..)? I found an item at another retail store for a cheaper price on there website, would they price match if I brought the print-out of this item and price? Not a big...

    Low-end Receiver suggestion?

    I too own a Kenwwod VR-507 and have had no problems with mine at all *knock on wood*.. I use it mostly for Home Theater, but do run the occasional CD and VCR as well.. I plan on upgrading soon, mainly for the need of multiple component imputs, otherwise, I am very happy with this unit. The...

    Receiver contemplation

    Oh, one more thing... I know the video up conversion can run everything through the component outputs, but I noticed this on the 2802: "S" and Composite video Switching So does that mean the same thing, except that the highest I could go is the S-cable? (ie: VCR through composite and DVD...

    Receiver contemplation

    I just looked on Denon's site and read the spec sheet on the Denon.. and yep, it sure does do the up conversion... Don't know how I missed that... Thanks for pointing that out! :) Well, now this evens the playing field a bit now.. That's one of the main features I wanted... Back to the...

    Receiver contemplation

    Okay, I won't be getting a new receiver for a few months, but I have been doing my homework trying to figure out which one I plan on getting. I want to be sure that I am getting something that will last me a while and this is what I have narrowed it down to: Denon AVR-3803 or Kenwood...
