    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Is there an obvious scene on the PSYCHO disc where the audio has been tampered with? I haven't had time to watch the whole thing, never mind compare it to a recording from TCM. This also applies to the HD Blu-Ray in the set as well as the UHD? Are they replacing both?

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    Well, what do you know?... I wiped down the VERTIGO disc with some window cleaner, then rinsed it with water and dried it off. Now it plays fine through the 45 to 50 minute section on my Oppo. Interesting that Oppo players freeze at the same place but "cleaning" the disc fixes it. Not sure...

    A Few Words About A few words about…™ The Alfred Hitchcock Classics Collection - in 4k UHD Blu-ray

    I have the Oppo 203 and after I read about the VERTIGO problem I updated the 203 firmware. The disc pixelates around 46 minutes and freezes at 49 minutes. I can hit fast forward or next chapter and it will resume play, but I haven't played it to the end, I'll try cleaning the disc. We need to...

    Hamilton Books has Twilight Time titles for $7.95 to $11.95

    I happened to catch "Dead Ant" on one of the movie channels this weekend. I would say so bad it's good... maybe. It did have some good bass when the ants were attacking.

    Riding Lawn Mowers

    Interesting, but maybe discontinued for those dealers. It can get confusing when you're shopping for one. I would hope there will always be a market for that style/size mower.

    Riding Lawn Mowers

    Doesn't seem to be discontinued, found it on the Cub Cadet website. Called my dealer and they have nine in stock. Went over there and another customer was looking at the one on the showroom floor. I took a look and bought one, to be delivered in a couple days. I had a John Deere rider in the...

    Riding Lawn Mowers

    Thanks. That CC30H looks like a suitable replacement. I didn't see it on the local dealer websites but I will ask about it. I have a Cub Cadet snowblower I got a couple years ago.

    Riding Lawn Mowers

    I have a Simplicity Coronet 30 inch cut riding mower I bought in 2004. It's been running fine until today. I think the hydrostatic transmission is dying. It didn't seem to have normal power and was making some awful noises. So, I go looking online for what new mowers are available at local...

    Vital sociological issue: How do you mount your toilet paper...to dispense from top or bottom?

    Top or Bottom? Depends on whether you are in the Northern or Southern Hemisphere! :blink:

    St. Elsewhere (St. Eligius) Currently all eps on Hulu

    So, how's the video quality of St. Elsewhere on Hulu? I always loved the show and was tempted to buy one of the "homemade" DVD sets but was wary of the quality, though I have an official Season 1 DVD set.

    What happened to South Park?

    I had a hard time finding a South Park thread... I was LMAO with the S22 E09 "Unfulfilled". There's a bit of a takeoff on the Star Trek episode "The Menagerie" and a reference to the blind witches segment of "Clash of the Titans". They really hit it out of the park.

    Need help to ID this song

    It's possible that it's a jingle, but at the beginning it sounds as if it's snipped from a longer piece. Maybe not? Still no reply from the marketplace that has the ad.

    Need help to ID this song

    The lyrics are different. Search results show the most popular song with a similar name and there are several if you look for "Tell the world I'm coming home". Get no good results for "where it all started, that's where you'll find me" part of the lyrics. I did email the business with that...

    Need help to ID this song

    Used in an ad for a local marketplace, this portion appears to have been snipped from some track. I'd like to hear the whole song!
