    Anyone upgraded from Vizio 2.1 sound bar to 5.1?

    Sound bar question (yes, I know which forum I'm at...): has anyone here upgraded from Vizio's sb3621n-e8 or sb3621n-f8m to one of their 5.1 sound bars (such as sb3651-f6). If so, how well do their satellite speakers work? Do they add a worthwhile surround improvement? And are the sound bar and...

    3D Lack of travelogues available in 3D?

    Has anyone else had any luck finding good travelogues in 3D? I'd think this would be an excellent format to take advantage of for travelogues. I would love to see some Rick Steves episodes in 3D, for instance. I suppose I should mention that I'm thinking more about European travelogues than...

    Help transferring HD recordings from Comcast Xfinity to Mac

    I moved a couple weeks ago and have a new cable provider - Comcast Xfinity. My old provider was RCN - and they used TiVo. I used to be able to transfer files via wifi very simply. However, it seems Comcast's DVR is less user friendly. I'm only interested in transferring the raw HD files to my...

    Choosing audio & speaker settings on bd player for soundbar with subwoofer

    Hopefully this will be a short, simple thread. I just got a Philips soundbar and am unsure of the settings I should be using with my blu-ray player (Sherwood bdp-5004). Do I turn on all of the speaker options on the player (front, center, surrounds, and subwoofer)? Or do I just select the front...

    Connecting Tivo HD-Dvr to MacBook Pro help

    I have RCN cable here in Chicago and just picked up the new Tivo HD DVR from them a few weeks ago. It's been great so far, better than the Motorola HD DVR we had before hand. Since getting it, I've learned that I should be able to connect to it with my MacBook Pro, then snatch recordings from...

    Older receiver uses optical, newer dvd player doesn't -- a way to bridge this?

    Quick question, and I have a feeling I know the answer but I'll ask anyways. My Sony receiver dates back to about '99 or '00 and to get 5.1 surround sound, it uses an optical cord (little glass bulbs at the end of the cord). The Sony dvd player I had at the time also connected via the optical...
