I think anyone posting a review/opinion on their BD or HDDVD player should be required to post their set up and specs. I think a lot will depend on multiple scalers and deinterlacers. If everyone has a 1080i hdtv/projector, then its easy to compare. But, most of us, or at least a good # have...

Have the Insignia IS-DVD1001 combo unit (LG). No problems thus far with the unit. Having a problem with my STB.. only giving a mono signal to the Insignia (but i get stereo if i plug the coax cable directly into the Insignia....?) Dubbing from VHS to DVD-r or DVD+r works fine, no quality...

I suppose it is not a true description of the TV. A lot of what is advertised on the stickers at BB or CC are gross exaggerations. How many times is a Kenwood receiver rated at "100 watts per channel".. when you later realize its 100 wpc only at 1 khz. But the big, flashy, eye-catching...

Sorry if this is newbie question.. i am naive to HDTV. I could not find a simliar question with extensive searches. I have a Toshiba (65H82 i think) RPTV. Adelphia Cable with a Scientific Atlanta Explorer 3100 (need to verify when i get home) HD box. Component connected. My question...

At that budget...you may want to consider B&W 601s. I am not sure you will get tower design paradigm studios in your range.. and IMHO, the bookshelf studios are not as impressive as the towers. Why? I dont know.. just going by me ears. A friend of mine was about to get Axioms, then agreed to...

anyone own this yet? can anyone confirm the improvments?

Piglet in The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh

In the book, TTT, after Frodo gets stung by Shelob.. Sam thinks Frodo is dead... He takes the ring and actually wears it for a time. In this time, he learns that Frodo is still alive and then you know the rest. Interesting chapter, as it really is Sam's soliloqy.. he has to make a choice...

I read in the Encylopedia of Arda that Celeborn and Galadriel had 'realtions' only once every 2000 years. Maybe Celeborn could have stayed behind and 'caught up for some lost time'

In cliff notes form: Gandalf falls Battles Balrog on way down, like in 1st scene of TTT They fall in an underground lake... miles down Survives fall (shows power of Gandalf and his kind) Still battles Balrog.. starts winning.. Balrog flees Gandalf realizes the only way to get out of deep...

Wasnt it 17 years from Bilbo's departure until Gandalfs return? Or was there a two year stretch after Gandalf came to when Frodo actually left? I'll have to pull my books out again. I remember Frodo putting it off for a while, but I thought he finally left on his 50th birthday, and wasnt he 33...

Love all 3 EE's. To nitpick: 1.For all 3 movies and all books, I enjoyed Frodo's journey the best. TT and ROTK-TE did not have enough of Frodo and Sam. Why PJ cut out Frodo's journeys thru Mordor on the theatrical edition, yet all the slow motion elf walking thru the forest scenes, that, by...

"The Oddyssey" is much better than "Troy" (wishful thinking, I know, but I hope to god that this movie is made some day ..... with Sean Bean as Odysseus and Howard Shore doing the score) Evil Dead 2 (IMHO) was more of a remake, not a sequel. Same basic set and plot. Evil Dead was more of a...
