    All Sirius receivers created equally?

    I was wondering if, similarly to cell phones, if there is a difference in reception between Sirius satellite receivers? I am trying to choose one but this is a main concern for me.

    I have a Panasonic DMR-85 DVD recorder. When I first got it, there was no problem downloading the program guide. However, I had a power outage one day and since then it will not download the guide. I have tried re-intializing it, unplugging the cable box and checking all of the connections to no...

    Does a dead DS pixel mean...

    I just got a DS today and the touch screen has one dead pixel. If they were in better supply I would return it but I can live with it. However, I was wondering if it's a sign that more dead pixels will arise? Thanks

    Seether: Dislcaimer vs. Disclaimer II

    I've been a big fan of Seether for a while now. I couldn't wait to buy Disclaimer II because it was suppose to be remastered and sound like the band always wanted it to sound. In comparison to the mix on the first version, Disclaimer II is awful. It is louder, but it has lost its warmth. I felt...

    SVS 20-39 mini review

    I know everyone is sick of SVS threads but I had to make this post because it was through the advice on this forum that I made the purchase I did. I just wanted to say that the sub has lived up to its reputation. I am truly shocked at the improvement I have experienced, especially in music...

    3803 and difference in LFE for Dolby and DTS?

    I remember reading that there is a difference in LFE levels between Dolby and DTS levels by 10 dbs. Does the 3803 adjust for this in each mode or do I have to adjust it manually? I don't have any DTS test tones so I can't really check for myself. Thanks

    I don't like to listen to music with the sub on. I have a 3803 and I set the speakers to small and sub to yes. The sub is still on during pure direct stereo and I turned it off. Am I missing the bass that was coming through the sub? Does the setting have to be changed to large for the proper...

    I have a 2002 Ford Explorer. On Wednesday the 4x4 mode started coming on during turns. I took into the Ford dealer and they couldn't replicate the problem and found nothing wrong. It drove great on Thursday night. Friday morning I turned it on and it was already in 4x4 low. I tried to put it...

    Best price on Paradigm monitors?

    My friend wants to buy Paradigm studio 7s. He can get them for $750 plus tax. That didn't strike me as that great a price considering I got my studio 40s v.2 for $900. I was just wondering if anyone could confirm if the price he got was reasonable? Please keep in mind these are Canadian prices...

    Staind DVD-Audio

    My brother went to buy the new Staind album, 14 Shades of Grey. He called me and said that on the back it states that it's also available in DVD-Audio multi-channel. I haven't been able to find any info on this at all. Is this a hint of a later release or just something that never materialized?

    Rogers HD worth keeping?

    I'm not sure if I'm being too critical but in the month I've had Rogers HD, the best stuff I've seen has been on PBS. There have been a few movies, Armageddon which was cropped, and very little sports. The NCAA games on CBS Saturday seem to be a hit or miss. NBC has Ed and not the West Wing...

    Mario Sunshine Impressions

    Since no one has posted any reviews of Mario Sunshine I'll give my impressions. The graphics are good but it's more like an update of Mario 64. The water effects are great, the draw distance is extremely long and the game looks good but your jaw will not drop. I don't have DPLII so I can't...
