    Alliance screwing over Canadian Customers (Please Help!)

    I think that we need to start taking action on this. The removal of extras/audio tracks to fit in French tracks, making bilingual covers when they are double sided anyways, delaying most releases (Clerks X for example) and in some cases going as far as removing the widescreen option from a disc...

    Help? No one in Canada will drop the price of the Panny 47wx42!

    I've been to 3 Futureshops (like Best Buy) looking to buy the Panasonic 47wx42. After seeing the deals on here ($999 US=$1350 CDN and $1299US=$1800CDN) I thought they would probably budge on their price of $2299 ($1650US). So I went up to the employee and expressed interest in the model and...

    Is this burn-in??

    A Ha!!! Fixed it myself. Noticed that the picture looked squished so I adjusted Horizontal Height (HIT in the service menu). Fixed the squishing problem and the lines went away! I guess there was some overlapping of the CRT's or something...

    Is this burn-in??

    On my Toshiba 50H82 there is a horizontal white line running through the middle of the screen to both sides. I did the 56 pt convergence a couple of days before and I would work on it for 15-20 minutes and then watch a 1.85 disc for 20-30 minutes before continuing again. I did this about 5...

So if you have a DVD player that has both features when the signal is sent to the TV it bypasses the TV's circuity for both. If you have an interlaced player you send...

    Best Buy won't go down in price...

    Not sure if this would be the right forum... I went to BB to look at the Tosh and Panny RPTV's. After looking for awhile I was ready to make a purchase. I went over to a BB employee and gave him the whole "I've done research and price shopping" bit and he proceeded to tell me that since the...

    Onscreen logos burning in...

    Is this still a problem even if the station is constantly showing commercials ie: every 10-15 minutes? I would think that going to commercial, with the logo disappearing, would lower the possibility of burn-in. Is this true?

    RPTV pre-purchase woes....

    I'm looking into purchasing a Toshiba 50H82. I've been so amazed by the HD picture that I've completely forgot about burn-in. My wife usually leaves CourtTV (which has a ticker) on all day while I'm at work. Even if there are commercials frequently would a ticker still burn-in? Secondly, my...
