    Announcing The HTF 2015 Hollywood Meet (NOW BOOKING!)

    I would add that these have turned out to be some of the coolest and most unique trips I've taken. Ron, Adam and team are masters of organization and take great care of us. The itinerary and the super folks who attend will all make this a great trip.

    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    My ideal setup would be to replace my existing 7.1 Denon receiver (move it to the office) with this beauty - install some new ceiling speakers for ATMOS height and then sit back and probably (binge) watch the Game of Thrones Blu-Rays. I know I would be hooked on the receiver and the series.

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    One of the best things about my home theater is the awesome sound and once I experienced the Atmos demo - I knew I wanted it at home.

    The official "I just purchased my Apple Watch" thread

    I'm jealous! I ordered the space gray sport on 4/10 3:01 EST and mine is still listed as "processing" with a May 13 ship date. The spare charging cable came yesterday.

    Interview Bob Whitehill, Stereoscopic Supervisor Pixar on 3D

    Thank You Disney! Count me in as a 3D fan - especially when it's done the way Disnet PIXAR can do it. This was one of the most informative and interesting presentations and demos of the trip. Very glad I have a 3D set to enjoy all the content and look forward to more and more from these folks...

    Warner talks with HTF about their 90th Anniversary

    This was truly one of the highlights of the week. The folks at WB are fantastic and true movie fans. They really take pride and love what they do. Meeting the folks at MPI and having them show us what they do was a rare treat that most of the public doesn't get. It's really hard to describe how...

    Interview Universal Studios Monsters Collection Making the Invisible Man, Visible Again

    The Univesal Tour is always a treat. King Kong 3D is well done. Touring the vaults was a welcome bonus.

    Toshiba 57LX177 REGZA

    I've had it since November and been very pleased. No issues and it looked pretty good with only minor adjustments. I do plan on having it calibrated, but it looks great so I've been in no great rush. The only "issue" I had was finding a stand large enough to hold this. Its not so much a weight...

    Dish Network Question/Problem ?

    I don't have the new Dish 811 unit (I have the older 600 HD set) so this may be not relevant, but I found that I need to keep the channel set to a non-OTA channel when I'm finished using it to keep the program guide current. If I leave my 600 set on a local OTA channel (HD or SD) the program...

    Will adding a separate AMP add reserve power for my Receiver

    I have a Denon 4802 that I'm very happy with. I have been thinking about using the 4802 as my pre-processor and adding a new separate 5/7 channel AMP (like the new Outlaw models.)The Denon spec sheet mentions that the 4802 has "7 Channels equal power amplifier section." If I use the amp to power...

    Olympics HDTV broadcast is SPECTACULAR...

    The HD images and 5.1 sound are super. They look and sound spectacular but please give us Bob Costas and company! The announcers on the HD broadcasts are just plain awful.
