    Finally got a new TV!!

    Well I took back the Terk TV55 and got the Terk TV3 and it actually picked up 2 HD channels but not really strong enough. They kept going out. I may return it and just wait until this summer when it is nice enough to mount one on the roof.

    Not sure if this is right forum.

    Not sure if this is in the right place but I have a question. When I go on deliveries sometimes we have to set a customers dvd player or direct tv box to widescreen (16:9) for their new tv set. I have a Dish Network DVR-522 receiver and can't find an option in the menus to set output for a 16:9...

    Finally got a new TV!!

    It does have a HD tuner built in but I tried the Terk antenna inside the house and got nothing. I am going to try it outside as well before I return it. I work at Circuit City in the warehouse and I go on deliveries as well and no matter how many times I see a HD signal at work it never really...

    What should I look for?

    I just got my 1st widescreen tv (Sony KDF50WE655 lcd) and I have a question about dvd movies. I own tons of widescreen movies but are there any that will eliminate the black bars entirely? I noticed the black bars are considerably smaller than on my 4:3 RPTV but I wouldn't mind if they were gone...

    Finally got a new TV!!

    Well after weeks and weeks of trying to decide on what TV to get I finally made a decision. I went with the Sony KDF50WE655 lcd projection. All I can say is WOW!! I am loving it. I have a couple questions regarding HD though. I have Dish Network hooked up right now and I am have cable internet...

    80's movies...website?

    I am a product of the 80's. I hate to say it but sometimes I think I would give up all the cool technology we have now in order to go back to the 80's. I miss my Atari so darn much!! :) Ok so here is my question. Anybody have a good website of 80's movies? I have recently started renting 80's...

    I'm a newb about TV's and have some ?'s

    I have one more quick question. What would a fullscreen dvd look like on a widescreen tv? I have mostly widescreen dvd's but there are a few fullscreen ones thrown in there and wonder what the picture will look like on a WS tv.

    I'm a newb about TV's and have some ?'s

    I have a 4 yr. old RPTV (Hitachi 53SBX59B)right now and it is going out finally. It has a faint red and green squiggly line in the upper left hand corner now and has sort of a blurry look to it now as it has aged. So I figure it is time for a new TV. I work at Circuit City and am going to get...

    I'm a newb...what is this thing?

    I don't frequent this forum as much as I do the car audio forums but I ran across this and was wondering if anyone can shed some light on to what it really is. Seems like one of those too good to be true things. I am interested in wasting the $17 just to see what it is. Max Theater

    Please help with Equipment Stand Dilema

    Ok, here's the situation. I am having a rough time finding a prefab audio stand that (1) I like and (2) will fit my receiver. Now I do not have as nearly an extensive collection of equipment as some do on here. I only have a Onkyo TXDS676 receiver, an Onkyo DVD player, a Monster Cable HTS2500...

    How would I do this?

    This is what it does huh.

    How would I do this?

    Yeah, I do not have it in front of me but why is it called something else if it is the same thing?

    How would I do this?

    I dont think you guys understand what I am saying. The agile modulated output for TV2 dosent look like a standard rf coax. it is a rca style connector.

    How would I do this?

    tv1 will have to go the living room because it will use the s-video and optical out, so the tv2 connection has to go to the bedroom so that won't work. Thanks anyway.

    How would I do this?

    ok, here goes. My parents are getting dishnetwork. They are getting 2 Dual Tuners. One DVR and one standard. The DVR will go in the living room and connect to that TV and then run to their bedroom. The standard receiver will go in the den's tv and run to the spare bedroom. Now here's my...

    what does this do?

    I am stupid when it comes to home audio and anything to do with something not related to car audio. What does this do? Convert coax to rca? How does that work? Here

    emotion...

    in the past we have had customers come in to replace a radio and sometimes the thief couldn't get the radio out so they destroyed it by ramming a screwdriver into it. Bolting it in somehow may keep it from getting stolen but not from getting vandalized unfortunately. I've seen people bust every...

    which DVD's?

    I have an ok collection of around 275 dvd's but haven't bought many new releases as of late and was wanting to know what dvd's others think I should get. I'm talking about movies that are either good because of superb action sequences (pic and sound) or just awesome movies that are must haves...

    Newbie to the forum, but this is my first love

    thanks for the kind feedback, but no it is not a show vehicle. I find it funny when I show people the car and they say where did you get it done and I say I did it myself. i tell them I work at Circuit City and we do it all the time. They are suprised to hear that, it's almost like all major...

    Speaker Wire Question

    Typically the longer the run the larger the gauge wire you want but I would say anything between 12-16 awg should be fine. I knew a guy that used to have 8awg car audio power wire for speaker wire on some huge klipsch towers. overkill if you ask me.
