    The Guns of Will Sonnet: Complete Series (CBS MOD)

    Looks like CBS MOD isn't completely dead. This release shows a release date of 6/13/2023. The Guns of Will Sonnet: The Complete Series (DVD) While likely not typical CBS remastering, maybe complete episodes and better prints then Timeless put out. Otherwise, why do it when the Timeless releases...

    Surround Speaker Height

    My first surround sound system was 5.1 in an open room back in 1997. My current setup is a 7.1 setup in a dedicated HT I built in 2004. Way back then I recall the Dolby recommendation being that surround speakers should be above ear level but not so high as to be close to the ceiling. I don't...

    Plex to Apple 4K TV as MKV

    I have a Synology server running Plex and an Apple 4K TV to output to my projector. Unfortunately, while Plex can handle MKV the Apple 4K TV apparently does not, which means re-encoding MPG files to MP4. Currently, I've been re-encoding TV shows at 4.5-5 bitrate and I'm not noticing any...

    Discovery of new favorite actors through association

    I recently saw a thread that mentioned "James Best" and it made me think back to how I was never a fan of Dukes of Hazzard (probably his most remembered role), but how I became a big fan when in later years I got into watching 50's Western TV and Movies. I believe it was as a guest star on a...

    Amazon adding charges after order?

    Has anyone else had this happen? I made an order a few weeks back using only Amazon credit. A week later I received an email saying I owed an additional $1.46. I couldn't tell where charges were added, but ended up just adding more Amazon credit to the order. Now on my next order, also all...

    Laramie coming to Encore July 2015

    Just a heads up that apparently "Laramie" is coming to Encore in July. I have no idea if they plan to air the complete series, or if new prints have become available. I recall some saying that the color episodes released on DVD were in poor condition.

    Favorite Supporting/Character Actors

    The passing of James Best had me thinking about this, and so I thought it might be an interesting topic. This crosses movies and TV since it seems many were just as proficient/successful in both mediums. This includes character actor, supporting roles, and guest appearances. I'm think of those...

    Timeless: Shane

    Received Shane yesterday and watched the first episode in the evening. Here are my quick findings for those thinking of purchasing: - David Carradine suprised me a bit, younger then i have seen him before (6 years before Kung Fu) and more convincing then I expected. - Jill Ireland was solid...

    Looking to get Lion King (possibly the trilogy). With the US Diamond US release in the vault, is there any difference between it and the various UK versions? I saw at least two different versions from the UK, and difference between them? Thanks.

    Allied Vaughn and MOD Titles

    My communications with SFM about the Wyatt Earp TV series release put me in contact with someone at Allied Vaughn. After that I decided to look them up to see how they fit into the equation. It looks like they are behind, if not all, the majority of MOD titles (creation through distribution)...

    Regarding CC and Subtitles (or the lack of) within Releases

    Hello all, I have a question about CC's and subtitles within releases. One of the biggest complaints found on Amazon related to TV release is the lack of subtitles and CC support. I'm trying to get a better understanding of when and why subtitles or CC support may or may not be provided...

    Oppo 83 Region Free Mod Fix?

    I've had my Oppo 83 for around 5 years now. Early on I picked up a hardware Mod that I believe consisted of a mini card and ribbon cable connection. I've used it flawlessly for other DVD regions for several years. Finally, I got around to getting a Region B blu-ray disk and the mod is not...

    Tombstone Territory Complete on 12/17

    I heard back from Timeless that the complete Tombstone Territory is planned for release at Walmart on 12/17. Hopefully, that means Sam's Club as well. The oddity with TT is that of the three season the episode counts were 39, 12, and 40 respectively. After releasing season 1, I wondered how...

There...

    Merlin Finale (spoilers)

    Anyone familiar with the Merlin TV series Finale already knows it wasn't widely accepted by most fans for the disappointing approach they took for an ending. It has already been debated in many forums, that's not really the goal here. In my case, I really enjoyed the series but have had a hard...
