I recently had a 700 plus DVD collection until it was stolen approximately 3 months ago. Since that time I have started to collect all over again. I find that many of the old titles I once had are not so important to me and I am much more selective about what I purchase. So far, I'm back up to...

Ernest, Exactly my thoughts, I plan on upgrading the the new RTi's, top of the line. I can do it for less than $500.00. I have had my old RTi's for nearly a year. What a deal!

My inserts and cover art were just fine, no wrinkles.

Ernest, The RTi's I'm talking about are the new RTi designs. All new line of RTi's. From what little I have read, they are quite an improvement over the old RTi line.

The case for 28 days later advertises 3 alternative endings, however, only two are in the menu for alternative endings. Simply push the up arrow and the cursor will disappear upward, then a 3rd radical alternative ending menu appears. This is a narrated storyboard ending with the...

I purchased the older RTi line of polk speakers for my HT last december. I have been very pleased with them. Since I purchased them at Circuit City, I can return them for a full refund up to one year from the purchase date and buy the new series at only a few hundred dollars difference. I am...

Update: I plan on replacing 50-60 titles initially. Columbia House is a possiblity, although, I have had bad karma with them in the past. Many titles that I ordered were either out of stock or the cases were damaged in shipping. A few titles I will be purchasing immediately are: Rushmore...

Jeff, My home owners insurance is a replacement cost policy, however, not recorded media. I doubt that most replacement cost home owners policies include the replacement cost of many items. The replacement cost basically just means the home itself.

Todd, Thanks for the link. It just blew me away that my DVD collection would have no value in 10 years. That is so absurd. I will check out this company with pleasure. Once again, thanks. Greg, Thanks for the support. Its much appreciated.

Patrick, I am going to start collecting again immediately, I already have purchased 10-15 of my must have titles. I will collect much more carefully and selectively, however. Many of the titles have come down in price and I intend to replace slowly. There are about 50 titles that I will buy...

As many of you know, my entire DVD collection was stolen a few weeks ago. Here is the link for those which may care for the history: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...=&pagenumber=1 Today, I received a settlement from my insurance company which refunded approximately 85% of my...

Here is an Update to my Stolen DVD Saga: I received a settlement from my insurance company today. On a $12,500 claim, they paid $10,406 after my $250 deductible. My home owners policy is a replacement policy, however, DVD's and audio discs don't fall into that category. They depreciated my...

Todd: Once again thanks for the offer of a free DVD from your collection. If the insurance company screws me, I may revisit and take you up on the offer. Its very kind. I do intend to make a secure room in the basement as soon as I get back from California. It will involve a solid steel door...

Telling the forum about my ordeal has been like therapy for me. I intend to keep posting about it until it is resolved. I hope to hear back from the insurance company early next week. If they pay me $15.00 a title, I will consider myself lucky. I better get more than that for the television box...

David, First of all, you have to realize that this is Southwest Missouri. In the county that I live in, they have two detectives, one of which is assigned to all breakins and burglaries. To answer your questions: There is a crime problem in the county, much of it methanphetamine related. I...

Mathew, I do have replacement cost insurance. I don't know for sure that my policy will cover the DVD's for replacement, however, I hold out hope that they will. Frankly, if the insurance company pays off, I expect them to drop my coverage as soon as my policy expires. Gotta love insurance...

Matt: I own a regular frame and foundation home and have replacement cost insurance. Is it possible that there may be no limit on dvds versus a mobile home policy? I sure hope so. I do intend to hound the adjuster. I spent 10 minutes talking to her today and layed out exactly what happened. I...

Thanks for the advice about continuing to update the insurance company about titles I think of in the mean time. I will do that in the next couple of days. Once again, the continued support of all of you mean alot. I really hope American Family Insurance comes through for me. I kind of have to...

I talked to the police today. The detective assigned to my case hasn't even looked at it yet. I gave them the name of the suspect almost three weeks ago. He told me he would call around to a few pawn shops and see if anyone has sold a large number of dvds. I've already done that and gotten no...

A quick update on my stolen DVD ordeal. Its been nearly three weeks since my collection was stolen. I have yet to hear from the police even though I have called and left 2 messages. Local area pawn shops haven't been very cooperative either. I have spent many days compiling a list of DVD's. As I...

Posters can be dry mounted to a back board, just like high quality large photographs. This involves a large dry mount press and heat activated sheets that melt with the heat. Any quality framing shop should be able to drymount for you. This means that the poster is permanently mounted to the...

Wow, I decided to experiment with my PB2+ tuning last night. I went ahead with the 3 open ports, 16 hz tune. I popped in Blade and watched the opening sequence with the bloodbath rave and subsequent fight scene where Blade kicks ass. I have to agree with Edward that the 3/16 tune is...

Thanks for the replies guys. At this point, I think a second PB2+ is the way to go, it would also appear to be the cheaper option. Unless I hear different from TomV or Ron, I'll be purchasing a second one soon. Edward: I would assume that I could set the subsonic filter to 16 on both, with...

Ron or Tom, Just received my PB2+ last week and I love it. I will probably be purchasing a second one early next year. This is one solid enclosure. Can they be stacked one on the other? I want to tune them to 16hz and two ports plugged. With two of them, I should have little fall off on the...

I've had my PB2+ now for about a week. I still haven't had time to do much of a test run, however, I'm impressed with the bass from the Dark City DVD. I have it set up currently at 20hz with one port plugged. I like to run the sub at reference level and I haven't bottomed it in that...

I have had the TX-Sr800 for the past year. I am very happy with this amp. Its not THX certified that I know of. In my opinion, that is a waste of money. This receiver has done everything I have wanted it to. There are many Denon people on this forum and Denon makes a great product, however, they...

There was a thread a while back that had press releases about the new RTi line. They didn't list any specs in the press release and there isn't any updated information on the PolkAudio site. I went by Circuit City and the sales people didn't know anything except the old RTi line is being sold...

Once again, thanks for all the support from this forum. All you guys are great. I will wait and see how the insurance company will handle this before I decide what my course of action is. The one DVD from your collections is very generous of all who have offered. I probably won't take the offer...

Tom, Thanks for the tip about un-reimbursed theft losses being tax deductible. That will help a little. I have been typing until my fingers bleed trying to finish up the itemized list for the insurance company. I should have it turned in sometime next week. I have thought about the dog thing...

I have told the police of someone I suspect. So far they haven't bothered to get back to me. This person, couple, knows my ex girlfriend and the woman in the couple has been to my house a few times. My ex says that the guy was asking her a couple of questions about my work schedule a few weeks...
