    October Austin HTF meet?

    Oct. and early Nov. will be tough for me. I'm deep into pre-production right now and we shoot the first 2 weeks of Nov. But after that I would love a reason to get away. I'm still toying with the idea of the new prepro like yours Colin.

    Austin Movie Nights!

    I was a little let down. I was really shocked to see some of the major players like Runco and Meridian not using either HD disc format for their main demo rooms. Instead they both used their up-converting scalers to show standard dvds, and they also used a HD cut from ABC at 720p of Pirates of...

    Hey Mark Sure bring a couple of controllers. I've got three but my wireless one is unreliable. As for the pooch, if it was just my dog Boomer, who is 10 months old, I would say yeah but since the sheppard doesn't really play well with new dogs. Might not be wise. She tends to lead with the...

    Hey Austin Texas Buddies? Can anyone help me out?

    Well being patient is not my strong suit and I had a 12% off coupon, so I picked up a HD-A1 at Best Buy earlier. I will try to get it hooked up to the Jcv 61" first and possibly update the firmware tonight. Don't know how much playing with it I'll get in since I have the big Golf sale at the...

    Hey Austin Texas Buddies? Can anyone help me out?

    Hey guys. Anybody broke down and picked up a HD-dvd or Blu-ray player yet? I'm leaning toward Hd-dvd since I will get a PS3 later. The Best Buy displays just don't float my boat but thats not surprising.
