It's two years old with a newish (6 months) lamp and new color wheel. It's been ISF calibrated by Avical. In excellent condition. $500 o.b.o. I don't want to go through the shipping mishigas: looking for buyers within driving distance of Washington DC area.

I'd like some advice/input on a notion that's been bouncing around in my head lately: I currently have a Samsung 5063W DLP. It's been calibrated by Avical, so you know that it's getting the best picture I can reasonably expect from it. It's on its second bulb. I've always found the picture...

Tomorrow marks the return of Tony Kornheiser to the airwaves. M-F from 9 to 1. And, yes, Andy Polley will be there. I don't know if it's only DC but you can listen to the show at sportstalk980.com

So, who won?

Is it me or was last night's episode better without Sorkin than with him? The pacing seemed better and while the subject matter was grim, there was little, if any, of "aren't-we-profound" tone that characterized the show over the past two seasons. It did a nice job of building the tension...

I realize that I may be part of a very small group, but I'm completely p***ed about the WB's moving "Smallville" to Wednesdays and NBC keeping "Ed" on that same night. While I have A TIVO, I can't watch one and record the other, especially not in High Def. I'm madder at the WB since I...

What does this portend for the future of the show? http://www.variety.com/VR770000927.htm[/url]

The mains are RT-8s with a 6.5" woofer and 1" tweeter The center is the matching Polk center, the CS-250s. While both are 5 years old, they were only used for two. The rest of the time they have been carefully stored in my closet. The surrounds are Sound Dynamic bi-poles with .5" titanium...

I own a first generation TIVO and wouldn't think of watching TV without a PVR. My cable company, Cox of Fairfax (VA) made this announcement, which has me intrigued: New Service Available to Cox Customers in Upgraded Areas Beginning April 1 (Herndon, VA) - Cox Communications Northern...

While I enjoyed the episode, the "previews" annoyed me. I know that previews are often (usually?) misleading, Carol appears to be telling someone that she loves some indeterminate male figure. We're supposed to believe that it's Ed. Then they show her kissing Chris Issak. What's that about other...

Okay folks, my TIVO has died on me for the second time in eight months. I've already paid to have it fixed once. Clearly, if I stay in the PVR game, a new one is in order. (My old one was a first-generation 14-hour model.) The question is: stick with TIVO or switch to Replay? I know there have...

Was it just me or are they laying the foundation for Chloe to become Lois Lane? Her letter to Clark was the most heart-breaking thing I've heard in a long time. I've always been a Chloe backer in the contest for Clark's heart but last night, as Emeril would say, kicked it up another...

Now, I may be missing something and I certainly have no particular love for the studios, but I kind of see their point. This past fall, I watched "The Sopranos," "Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone" and "Live From Baghdad" on HBO-HD. It seems to me that an HD recording of these shows would have...

It's in today's Times. There's some good news for current owners of of HDTVs. http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/02/technology/circuits/02teev.html?tntemail0

At least that's the case in Northern Virginia.

Readily available in widescreen.

Like I said. It was marked $18.95, but rang up at $14.87.

Hmm? Service plans and cables. Inaccurate info. I wonder which retailer is being described? http://www.nytimes.com/2002/09/12/te...ed=1&tntemail0[/url]

If so, what did I just see? I'm completely confused.

Not quite sure where this should go. http://www.nytimes.com/2002/08/26/technology/26DVD.html Little of this is new to HTFers, but to have the Times acknowledge what we know is cool.

I'm looking for examples of recent films -- in the past decade or so -- that demonstrate a blatant, at least in your estimation, disregard for historical accuracy. I'm not talking about dramatic license. I mean "I don't care what actually happened, I'm gonna tell the story my way" kind of stuff...

My center channel speaker is on top of my RPTV -- the only place it can go. This places it at least one foot above ear level. Any advice on what to use to get it to tilt down toward the viewer?

I just got some ECM CDs re-mastered in 24/96 sound. What's the best way to play them? My receiver has 24/96 DACs. Should I just feed it a digital signal from my CD player? Or do I have to use my DVD player whose set-up menu specifically mentions a 24/96 signal? If that's the case, do I have to...

Officially, it's a PCI 25-31. (Although mine is tuned to 22HZ.) Having just unboxed mine and seen the "wow!" look on my son's face, I think the model should be called the "Mayhem" or "Anarchy" or even "Regression to a state of nature." My old Polk PSW-150 could vibrate the floors of my home. I'm...

I enjoyed last season in an escapist sort of way. And I was willing to grant the creators the Mulligan they asked for this year. (For the uninitiated, the season-ending episode had Sara "rewinding" time so that, in effect, everything we saw in the previous episodes was undone.) But last night...

It was the UPS guy with my new SVS PCI 25-31. (22-31?) A bit of a shock since I ordered it on Wednesday and hadn't been notified that it had shipped. Still, for that kind of quick service, I'm willing to overlook the lack of a heads up.:wink: Between SVS and Axiom, which also delivered the...
