I thought they were specifically pushing their line of drinks and coffee products. Not so much the donuts. The ad is pretty much all inclusive even though.

Thanks as always guys. Just Reaper season 2 for me this week.

John and Gene, Thank you for recommending monoprice. I have to admit I'm very skeptical myself. I ordered anyway. This is what I chose: For only $8.40 each when QTY 50+ purchased - 14AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable - 50ft | 14AWG Loud Speaker Cable I was considering 12...

It is awesome on Blu. From the start this was one of my top 20 movies to buy as a Hi-Def release. Glad to say, I was not disappointed. :D ......19 more to go.

You're going to be getting TrueHD 5.1, but, yes it is fantastic.

To expand on Brian's point. The cut in running time can also result in a cut in budget for the show. If you can shave 2-5 hours off of a production budget for a season you can fill that space with more commercials and advertisements. Advertising is the biggest reason you see shows going from...

Alright, whenever you're ready, go ahead and put the new glasses through their paces and will pick this up again in 2011. :laugh:

I would like to know if anyone on the forum has used any cables from QED? What do you think? What I've seen is very affordable and they look sharp and well made. I need to replace my current speaker cables for my R/L/C channels and am considering this brand. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Hey, thanks for the heads up. It cost me $40 from amazon.ca because I was impatient and wanted it ASAP. I'll definately check out playusa.com from now on.

Compared to his other films, "Paycheck" was mediocre. Good to hear the Blu's firing on all cylinders though.

I remember this differently. What happened was, He gives Janeway information to take Voyager home sooner as a token of his appreciation for Her help with His son. When she asks why he is only saving them a few years of travel instead of taking them all the way there, Q responds "What example...

Glad to hear the audio is top notch. Ron, when you get a chance could you give us your impressions of the deleted scenes. Specifically, compared to the feature itself. It's reported that the deleted scenes are in the correct OAR (ain't that a kick in the nuts?) on this Blu and I'm wondering if...

After doing a little more research I've come to find that Outlander's correct OAR is 2:39:1. The English version is going to be 2:35 and so is the already released French version. So it looks like no one may be getting the correct aspect ratio for this damn movie anyway. But, 2:35 is a hell of...

You're in the right menu. Is the setting for crossover "absolute"? Meaning one crossover for all speakers. Or, can each individual speaker be set at a different crossover in the 40hz to 200hz range? If you're locked into one setting for all speakers, then definately put the crossover at 100hz...

That was my point. People who actually take action. Talking about disingenuous, what about companies practices? We live in a day where people are expected to be responsible for their actions. We are expected to read the fine print on contracts and to have full "legal" disclosure on said...

But clearly not to that "Person". "Worth" is the hot button word here. On the whole, many will agree that something is worth a certain amount. Wether it's a $2 Coke or $2000 HDTV. On the other hand, some would say that's too much for what's offered and go with a cheaper alternative or without...

It would seem like we're going from a "full screen" VHS/sd dvd on a 4x3 display mentality to a 1:78 (full sreen) Blu-ray/sd dvd on a 16:9 display mentality. That this happens with Blu-ray at all is completely unacceptable. I thought the format was meant to be for the audio and videophile among...

All info for this HTiB points to its receiver, 667, is a version of the 606. It also sports the Audyssey 2eq for room optimization. In which case it would be odd if you didn't have the different speaker and sub settings. The speaker range on this is from "full band" to 140 or 160hz, correct...

I remember with Se7en it was open matted and you saw more than you should height wise. With Outlander it's cropped and we get less picture. Either way, it's still incorrect OAR on both. Also, since you have to order from Canada it takes the price up considerably ( $8 standard, $9 priority, $15...

If the speakers are at 80hz I would set those to 100hz. In my experience smaller speakers work better in the 100-120hz range. The sub setting at 120hz is correct. As far as balancing out your levels, the Aud set-up is very good. I would still recommend getting an SPL meter at Radio Shack just to...

Actually, Brian K has made some very good points here. I personally have been frustrated with Comcast because their business practices don't always suit me. My problem, to be sure. I don't like the satellite alternatives and my area has yet to get FIOS. In the long run, for me, it's about saving...

Now I'm pissed. I just ordered this on Blu from Canada and have come to find out some bad news. Outlanders OAR is 2:35, but, the Canadian Blu-ray is 1:78. WTF!!!! They say the PQ is superior to the sd dvd and all the extras are there with a DTS-MA track as well. But, an aspect ratio fuck-up...

No problem, RYAN.

Yes, but the praise here has nothing to do with the fact that there are better films, and more to do with how good this film is. When you take into account the budget, and the fact not many even knew it existed, it can make quite an impression. Especially, when you see shit hit the theater not...

Ryan, You don't spell Equipment with a "t". Just a tip....and I noticed you did it twice, impressive.

Well, since you've already "went with" them, our opinion would seem irrelevant. If you like them that's what matters. As far as finding good front speakers, you need to up the budget. Think $300 a speaker or more, not $300 a pair.

I have to say, this movie lives up to its hyped-up trailer. If the trailer gets you interested, the full film knocks it out of the park. It is very rare something like this is done on such an incredible level. I really can't believe this movie wasn't promoted more. Too bad.

Wal-Mart. I couldn't wait for the Blu-ray release down the road. But, when this does come to Blu ( Weinstein Company please get off your ass) I'm all over it.

.......and you can also use a flash drive if your Blu-ray player has inputs for it. Download from the site onto the drive then plug drive into player and start the firmware update. Easy as that.

Dave, Are your "fronts" in-ceiling speakers? If not, I would put them as close to the height of the center channel speaker as possible. The rears and side channel speakers in a surround set-up should be at 1 meter( 3') higher than ear level for best performance. To echo what Robert said, this...
