    NPD: Hulu Plus, Amazon Gaining on Netflix

    I like Amazon Prime, personally. Netflix pissed me off because they gave streaming free, along with disc rentals, to people that signed up (when I signed up). Then they took it away when they decided they could make more money. It should have been "Grandfathered" in, for the people that was...

    Vote in our poll for a chance to win a $250 Amazon or Best Buy gift card

    In the past 10 yrs., we've been to the theater maybe 7 times. So, I voted 1% - 30%. I guess it's actually less than 1%......... We saw The Hobbit at the theater. Probably won't go again until the next Hobbit movie at Christmas.

    Want local tv channels but not sure how to get them

    Your satellite provider doesn't provide local channels with their programming package?

    Not getting Dolby Digital from TV's optical out

    Doesn't the receiver have optical or digital coax input for audio? Use HDMI from cable/sat box to tv for video, and optical or digital coax from cable/sat box to receiver, for audio.

    Odd thing is that other forum sites I'm a member of, remember me, and I don't have to keep signing in. It only happens here........

    Signing in

    EVERY time I come to this site, using my Kindle FireHD, I have to sign in. Not so with my main computer. Any ideas?

    Didn't think I'd like streaming.........

    but I kinda do. My wife bought me the 7" Kindle FireHD for Christmas, with Wi-Fi. We bought a Wi-Fi router from Sam's Club right after Christmas. I mainly got it so I could finally use my cell phone somewhere other than by the dining room window. We live in a basement apartment, and only place...

    Tell us what you will be doing when HTF is offline during our move and win some classic Blu-rays!

    I'll probably spend more time on the photography forums, and wishing I was a better photographer. I'm sure I'll catch a movie or two also, from Netflix, while anxious about HTF getting back online. :) Good luck surviving the time off everyone! Eat well, and drink plenty of liquids...............

    streaming set up

    We bought ourselves this Cisco router for Christmas: http://www.amazon.com/E2500-Advanced-Simultaneous-Dual-Band-Wireless-N/dp/B004T9RR4A/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1361575431&sr=1-1&keywords=Cisco+2500 I had never setup a wireless network before. The instructions in the box walked me through...

    New Blu Ray player and TV and can't get 24fps.....help!

    You WANT to see the "fake, almost camcorder" look? Why? I don't understand. If so, you bought the wrong tv! The reason people buy DLP tvs is to get the more film-like picture, instead of the video camcorder picture you get from the other tvs. Just curious.........

    Calibration Recommendation for Samsung UN55ES7100?

    I've said for years......... the best way to get the film look on a new tv, is to get a DLP set. To me (my personal opinion), you can't get rid of the video look on a plasma, LCD, or LED. People are willing to fore-go the better picture, for the "cool factor", of being able to hang the tv on the...

    Onkyo 9300THX AV Rec Output 5.1 channels for 7.1 channels bluray audio input

    Surround speakers are the side speakers, in a 7.1 setup. The 6th and 7th speakers are labelled as "Surround Back" speakers in a 7.1 setup, when not using them for height etc....... The surrounds are the rears in a 5.1 setup.

    Is it worth the money?

    Speakers are the most important part of your system. They should be the most expensive part too. Afterall, they are the sound. As long as you like their sound, no speakers are too expensive. Enjoy!

    Calibrating speaker levels - Receiver's test tones or disc?

    I used the Audyssey calibrations for my setup, and double checked with spl meter. The Audyssey settings were actually spot on, except I set the center channel a couple of dB higher. I also changed the speakers from large to small, though Onkyo uses different terminology. Good luck.

    Buying a receiver without "Auto Speaker Setup"

    I used Audyssey to calibrate my system, and double checked it with my SPL meter afterwards. Except for Audyssey setting my speakers to "Large", it was spot on. I set the center speaker a couple of dB higher, to make sure dialog is loud enough, set sub to SVS' s suggestion, and everything is...

    optical line in malfunction?

    Use the receiver as the hub, not the tv. Use the receiver for what it's meant to do.

    Onkyo HT-R520 - Can I use it for high definition surround sound theater with 1080p TV?

    Sorry, but you are wrong. The 5.1multi- channel analog connections are the ONLY way, other than HDMI, to get the high definition audio from blu ray movies. This has been common knowledge for several years now. Connected this way, the receiver does NOT show Dolby TrueHD or dtsMaster Audio in the...

    Recommendation for theater subwoofers?

    I also recommend the SVS subs. I bought their cheapest one (at the time), PC12-NSD cylinder sub, and it's amazing! I've heard lows I had never heard before, and feel even more of them. :) See their current subs here: http://www.svsound.com/ Good luck with whatever you choose.

    Connecting AVR receivers

    From what you say you want, just set them up as two separate, standalone systems. There is no need to connect them together.

    just bought onkyo 809 and...

    Onkyo is usually the bast bang for the buck. You may have gotten a bad one. It happens with all brands. I'd stick with the onkyos, one more time. If another is a problem too, them go with another brand. Then I'd go with a Denon. Denons tend to not be quite as user friendly as Onkyos. If with...

    How to get a Denon receiver remote control?

    Here's one too.............. It's an RC-1156, which the manual says it uses. This site says it's for an AVR-1912, so it's used for more than one model. http://www.encompassparts.com/item/8300917/Denon/307010087002D/Rc-1156_Avr1912# A little cheaper than eBay. Good luck.

    Need Guidance From Other Oppo Owners

    No need to spend that much money on the cables. I'd get two sets of these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023508&p_id=960&seq=1&format=2 Five dollars is a lot less than $100, and they'll work just as well. I used these when I had a Denon DVD-2200...

    Need Guidance From Other Oppo Owners

    Yeah, if your receiver has the 5.1/7.1 multi-channel analog inputs (Denon calls them EXT. IN) on the back, you should definitely be using the 5.1/7.1 multi-channel analog outputs from the Oppo, into the receiver. Afterall, they are the only way, other than HDMI, to listen to the dtsHD Master...

    Bye, Bye DLP Rear Projection Displays!

    I hope someone will pick up and keep going with DLP, to keep the option alive. I think it's just plain stupidity to do away with the best looking pictures, for a tv that will hang on the wall! It's a TV! Not a painting or a photo! Flat panel tvs look like video, and DLP looks more like film, a...

    Bose is not regarded very well in the home theater world. Go to any home theater forum and search for Bose, and see what people thinks of them. You should read this review. Click and read the links too.......... http://www.intellexual.net/bose.html...

    Advice on New 2.8 Telephoto Lens

    Isn't the D5100 supposed to have the same processor as the D7000? Or is it the D5200? If it's the D5100, your 55-300mm should work well for you. I have the D7000, and a Tamron 70-300mm (f/4.5-5.6) that does very well in low light. I mainly use it for wildlife, but have used it indoors for Easter...
