My DVR cut off right after the marine stood up. Could someone fill me in....did anything happen after that or did it cut to the credits? Did they reveal what power he was given, etc? Thanks.

they are both totally customizeable, though the advantage of the pronto is the vast community that already exists complete with custom configs to sample. there is a much smaller source for the mx3000 at this time. honestly though, i would choose more on feel as they are very different both in...

are you looking for a traditional lighted sign, an LED sign or just a plastic sign you can stick on the wall?

I'm thinking about trying to rent a proj. for the superbowl and I'm looking for suggestions. my tv room can only handle 5-6 people, so i'm looking to put a projector downstairs. I guess my first question is, whether or not this is feasible? Are there 'business-type' digital projectors that are...

Most people will recommend buying individual components over an HTIB. Also, most people avoid buying all-in-one units. If your receiver and DVD player are in the same unit...what happens if one part of the unit breaks? You've got to replace the whole unit. I'd get a seperate receiver and dvd...

Gray or grey (spell it however you like!) on the walls and ceiling, Navy drapes, pillows, rug, and white trim. http://www.timkrug.com/HomeTheater/main/htfront.jpg

I agree with Leo....and I'd like to add that Home Depot and Lowes both sell pre-cut shelves (with nice routed edges) that you can stain, paint or finish to your liking. Slap a couple of brackets on the wall at the studs and you are good to go. You can use either the small metal "L" brackets or...

Here is the HD switcher thread... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...ideo+Switching

You will have alot of people telling you that Bose is overpriced crap and to drop the concept, so I won't bother to do it myself...oh I guess I just did. As for the sharing of video, you will need to purchase some type of video switcher. You receiver will likely not be set up to route video...

I suppose it could be that the remote doesn't transmit for as long when a code is in a macro. If that is the case you may be out of luck. The only advice I can offer is to recommend you try re-learning the Dish power code one more time and then re-program the macro again. Maybe you learned...

What cable box does he have that ONLY has Optical and not Coax? If you are in Chicago I assume you have Comcast Cable....which would imply that it is the Motorola 5100, 6200 or 6208 all of which have Digital Coax. It should be labelled SPDIF though and I believe it is colored orange.

As you can see, people have their own preferences as to what type of remote they like best. You'll have to choose for yourself. I don't make statements as to which is better because I understand it is a personal preference. Good luck.

Alot of people go for the Home Theater Master line as recommended above. You can program any button on the remote for any command you wish. However, because most of the buttons are "hard" buttons, you are stuck with whatever label is printed on them. If you want total customization, you...

Comcast claims not to compress any HD signals and to broadcast them as received.

Yes, you will need to use either Digital Optical or Digital Coax in order to get 5.1 or better (technically your DVD player might have a Dolby decoder and analog outputs, but it is more likely that the receiver's is better). As for running your video through the Denon and then from the Denon...
