    Just inherited a Nikon D60...

    I've been a Canon fan forever...and, well, this Nikon literally fell into my lap. My GF was given the camera in California(she is friends with an Army photographer and he was "making room for the next latest greatest"). She decided she hates it. Left it for me to sort out. Only has the main...

    LG V10

    Went to Best Buy(other places as well, looking for another w/d) and they had the V10 out. Have the G3, skipped the G4(not enough of an upgrade...like wise...a "dud" in the marketplace). Highlights... Textured rubber backside. I like it. 2nd "thin screen". A take on the idea of the S6 Edge...

    International Gaumont disc issues?

    Have two Gaumont(out of 9) that are apparently, for lack of a better term, out of round and vibrate in players. They are flat. Since obviously imported(one was 7 months ago), re-buy and hope? Or...some Gaumont do this? The two films are: Peril en la Demeure La Boheme They play fine. They...

    New terminology to use...

    Was over at subaruforester.org and a(nother) discussion on DRL came about... The European section labels DRL as TWERP Technology Without Evident Real Purpose I'm using it for CEC and ARC.

    Mediacom Cable internet

    Anybody heard of this company? Went to switch over from LP to NG(city finally ran lines to get the area the 2nd house is in off tanks) and was offered "new customer discounts" and one of them was this company. They don't come up in any searches when the address is plugged in to various gov.org...

    Question for those "AVR with built-in BT" AVR owners...

    Just answered a thread here dealing with this issue. Never covered in any owners manuals...as it is "not a feature" and just a byproduct of switching implementation... Watching something while listening to a different audio source. Easy to do when your AVR has straight audio connections...

    International Lore

    Just discovered this film from 2012. Sounds right up my alley(in more ways than one...). Ordered the AE since I can play region B(didn't bother checking region coding...). Anybody out there know why it gets better AV reviews than the US Music Box?

    The Blue Room/Le Chambre Bleue

    For those into not being spoon fed and a movie where you have to fill in what you think happened... This is a must watch. I can't believe there is no Blu of this...anywhere.

    Movies listed as 0% on RottenTomato

    Has anybody tried watching that complete list? (Put the thread here, as we still don't have a "movies regardless of format" category) Anyway, recently put myself through Kite and Reach Me. Two movies on the must watch list to know what makes good cinema...good cinema

    International Amazon internationl "carts" issue

    Does Amazon clear your carts...or is(was) there a glitch? Have had Strange Days in my German cart for a while deciding if I want it. My cart there was empty, just like It, Fr and ES were. UK was still there though.

    Onkyo 646/747

    Won't say much as the price difference is greater than the features difference... Highlights... HDMI is now the only video output. There is no support for 720P/1080i over component video(neither AVR lists having upscaling). 747 includes DPL IIz, while curiously the 646 does not. Out of the...

    Pioneer 830/1130

    Finally... Somebody* announces full HDMI 2.0/HDCP 2.2 spec'd AVR. 830 is bare bones(if there is a 530...who knows how much less it offers). 1130 offers Atmos. Analog connects are nearly extinct on both although the 1130 still carries component video (but with the advent of Sunset, is HDMI...

    cracked wisdom pulled...yippee

    Anyway, tooth cracked ages ago(6 years???). Been letting pieces fall out since. Yeah, I know...hate dentists... Finally had a piece that wouldn't come out...so no choice. Went in at 2:30 thinking they could pull just that piece. X-ray and the dentist is like... "How much pain are you in"...

    Spotify, MOG or Prime Music...

    Since I now have Amazon Prime, I have access to "a million songs..." Anything cool and different over Spotify and MOG(Beats)? Already pay for Spotify. Use MOG(Beats) free.

They have decided to build a purpose theater and have tasked the idea of a "ramp riser" as they like to host numerous people(their son is in varios programs with people that stop over. One of the reason...

    50 shades...

    Who is planning to? I might, but will more than likely wait for the inevitable $10 BD. Everyone I know, that knows how this works, pans the book as if written by a person that has only read about it themselves. The writers of Secretary, The Image, Pet, Black Snake Moan and Preaching to the...

    Bought my first LCD TV today

    A 19" Seiki open-box for $76 at HH Gregg. My 13" monitor(also LCD, though "not a TV") died. This 19" is actually smaller overall. Use it to see online audio content so I don't waste my plasma or projector. Almost bought another 60" LG plasma though. $600 and 1 HDMI input is just tempting...
