I'm sure this is not the right forum but I could not find one that fit. I'm looking fora 50 foot ethernet cable - what is the difference between a Cat 5e and a Cat 6 Ethernet cable. I'm running one from my router to my PS3. Anyone. Plus - is there a good place I can pick up one???

Went to a casting call here in Wisconsin for Public Enemies on Saturday. They are filming a bank robbery with the entire cast about 2 blocks from my house. Full cast Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Marion Cotillard.Channing Tatum,Giovanni Ribisi For anyone interested here is my blog...

Friend of mine is living in the 60s and has an analog TV with rabbit ears. He is getting a coupon for the Digital Box but I'm afraid he will STILL get bad reception . . .maybe pixalated??? So are there any CHEAP OTA Antenna's worth looking into besides the $15 ones at K-Mart?

I've looked at a good number of reviews and am still wondering about the ability for ANY DVD Recorder to record from a DVR from DIRECT TV. Many times I hear about error messages saying the DVR is copy protected but there seems to be no consensus. Any of you smart people know the truth...

Two TVs - SONY SXRD 60 inch and Mit WD52631 - My father in law has a 60" Sony SXRD - awesome set with fantastic color - however - he moved and as I was setting up his HT I noticed the upper right corner has a green tint. Ideas? Suggestions?? MY TV - A Mitsubishi WD52631 has a GREAT look...

What causes pixelization on an HD set??? Is this something that is TV related? DIRECT TV related? I have a Mitsubishi WD52631 set that seems to get it more then I thought I should!

I have a Mitsubishi WD52631 and I can not see if it is shielded in the manual. I have to think it is but since I'm thinking of putting the speaker RIGHT in front I want to make sure. Anyone???

OK - I'm new to the HD world with my purchase of a Mitsubishi WD52631. I have Direct TV. My question is why does 480i look SO CRAPPY! In fact why does all non-HD programming look so much worse then my Sony 42inch NON-HD TV. Is there anything I can do to make 480i look better? Am I stuck...

I'm getting a 52inch Mitsubshi and I need to place the L/M/R speaker. My idea was to put then on a shelf behind and above the screen. Instead of one long shelf I think three small shelves would look better. I really want to get a cleaner look so I'm trying to get away from speaker stands...

I purchased a 52inch Mitsubishi WD52631. It will go against a wall in a new house. The problem is that while I have left and right speaker stands and a SVS sub woofer, WHAT do I do with the center speaker!!! There is no room on top of the TV! Do I put a small shelf above the TV? is there...

We're building a new house. The drywall is not in yet (if it makes a difference). Typically I have my Home Theater in a corner and all the cable in a spaghetti mess behind everything. NOW - a darn fireplace (not that I dislike fireplaces) will take up the corner and the big screen...

I say it's too hot for a Plasma or ANY TV above a fireplace - wood OR gas. That along with the fact that it is a HORRABLE place for a TV. So - help me out - or tell me I'm wrong. TV's above a fire place - not a worry (heat??)

Is there a formula for figuring this out?

Currently I have a projection TV which is great for the corner of a room. HOWEVER, we're moving to a house with a living room with no corners - THUS, we're looking into flat screen TV's. I read somewhere many moons ago about a formula for finding the optimum size for a screen in a certain...

Pink Floyd's PULSE coming on DVD...finally! The long-awaited, and much delayed, 2DVD release of Pink Floyd's PULSE has finally been announced. To hit the stores on 5th December (with slight variation to this date depending on country), the discs have been filled with some interesting...

Besides a nuclear war that knocks out all satellite's or an electro-magnetic pulse from Bin Laden or space and beyond. Is there a reason to NOT get a lifetime subscription? With Sirius it would pay for itself within 4 years. I can't see myself every wanting XM (reception problems in the north...

I have listed to a number of XM and Sirius units and all of them still have that very high . . . .tinsel sound. Sure, they sound better then SOME FM stations but Sat radio still have that unique sound quality. I do find it awesome in my car and will never be without it. I can't decide if...

Why can I get perfect reception in a closed garage OR as I found out this morning, why can I get it in the 2nd story underground parking ramp. Confused???

I have a 43 inch Rear Projection Sony - WONDERFULL TV - except in the past 2 days I have noticed a very very very faint red vertical line about 1 inch wide just off center. It's only noticable if you are really looking for it or the screen is against the sky (I think I 1st noticed it watching...

Are TV's being sold TODAY that will need to have the converter box when HD takes over? So if a poor family buys a TV, in a few years they will either need to buy a converter or the government will subsidize and give them a converter?

Sorry -iPod question! Not really a SPEAKER question but still sound/music. What is the fidelity on these things anyway. I'm asking HERE because I believe you guys actually know what sounds good.

Paul McCartney, Phil Collins, Pink Floyd, Eric Clapton, Elton John, Mark Knopfler, Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, Status Quo, Tears For Fears and Cliff Richard & The Shadows. The 2002 DVD edition features a new 5.1 Dolby Surround and DTS sound mix. Seems like a bunch of artists that people have...

I saw the Austrialian Pink Floyd concert a couple nights ago and I have to tell you. They are as close to Pink Floyd as you can get. Not just your normal tribute band (They played at Gilmores Birthday party). They have the light show and music down pat. The concert DVD is 1st rate and if...

He has 6 or 7 CDs out and the guy ROCKS. I found a CD and have not listened to for a couple years - WOW he is awesome. Hard to explain - Peter Gabrial-ish I suppose. I'm listening to Deep at the moment. I'm going to have to look into more of his music.

When I got my Sony rear projection non-HD 3 years ago I was buying outside my budget box already. I just could not fork out another $400 for a HD compatable. Of course - NOW - I have the resources to get a large screen HD TV - HOWEVER - what do to with the old, but perfect shape KP-43T75 that...

Besides comfort and Feq response - any else important? I was at some local stores looking for inclosed Headphones and noticed that the wireless headphones had orse Freq response then the . . . .cirded ones. Sony had some for $140 that (if memory serves me correctly) were 5-30,000. The few...

Looking for some good Headphones (the kind with foam cushions) that I can buy at regular stores. IS there such a thing? Does not have to be cordless.

What concerts have the best audio in your opinion. I have an SVS 20-39PCi and have discovered that concert DVD's sound MUCH better. I have heard MANY concert DVDs are pretty trashy when it comes to audio. SO - which ones stand out audioistically. (is that a word?)

All my life I have wondered "how can I get that live concert sound in my house". I have purchased concert CD's and DVD and I could never get there. Was it the recordings that were stopping me? UNTIL Saturday Night. On VH1 (I think) there was the Simon & Garfunkel Live in Central Park...

Since I always have to adust the volumn a little whe nI go from movies to music (I seem to have to boost it for music), I have turned the sub a little for easier adjusting. HOWEVER - my suggestion for coolness. Redue the Amp so there is a "cool" factor so we can actually have THAT part IN...
