Thanks Stephen! I picked up the Insignia since I was more comfortable with the remote. Plus the off chance I might use BD Live one day. I also found four titles that I didn't mind owning AGAIN: The Dark Knight, The Princess Bride, The Fifth Element, and The Usual Suspects. The result is now I...

I am looking for an inexpensive BDP. The model #s are Magnavox NB530MGX and the Insignia is NS-BDLIVE01. I believe they are clones of one another. Whichever is available at the low low price of $99 will be my choice. Unless you convince me otherwise. I will be using it in my small bedroom...

If u don't mind average surrounding, but excellent food go to Chinese Cuisine on Decatur and Sahara. Sorry don't know exact address but it's near an indoor swap meet, and next to a Subway. The salted calamari and roast duck is excellent! PF Changs does not compare to this place, and yes I've...

Thanks, Gregg. I think it might need reseating since I used to be able to give it a tap near the speakers and the picture would right its self. Could you point me to the right direction so I may try to reseat the correct I.C.? (I used to work with PCBs and ICs so I know how to handle them.)...

I had an HTPC attached to my RPTV and rez was set to 540p to play back dvds. I know it is a 1080i display but the hometheaterspot and htforum members suggested that the set can handle 540p. But the years of 540p playback has taken its toll. Now my display looks like an hour glass and the edges...

Hi all. I'm getting ready to buy a 2003 Z71 Silverado from a GM dealer. It has a lift so I know GM will not warranty the vehicle. Now I'm looking into aftermarket warranty. I've never bought an aftermarket warranty so I don't have much experience with such companies. If you have any opinions and...

FYI: I'm on the good traders list. I've been a member of this forum for years. I don't have much activity when it comes to trading and selling, but the transactions I've had are all legit and went smoothly.

I want to replace my son's XBOX. If you don't have power or video cables, that's fine. If you have wireless controller, you'll have a sale. Please PM me. Thanks

I've setup my MX500 to control everything for a specific function. For example I've setup the DVD page to turn on and off all of my components, control the tv volume, avr, dvdp, even switch inputs on the tv. pg2 controls secondary dvd functions such as subtitles, audio, etc. It even controls my...

Brian, If you need help in the negotiation department, let me know. I'm in the car business.

Hi Gregg, Any chance I can get a price break in Vegas if I provide food and lodging? :b Heck, I'll even sell you a 2004 Tahoe $1000 below invoice, plus rebates! :D J/K Who am I kidding. There's deals everywhere in this town when it comes to a hotel room. :rolleyes But I do need 1080i and...
