    3 Digital Audio inputs on Onkyo 506

    I almost purchase this receiver and glad that I didn't because I don't want just pass through HDMI. I want to go with less cable as much as possible. I always thought that to get 7.1 sound you have to connect it via HDMI cable only. Is the 7.1 sound on this a virtual only not real 7.1?

    How can I stop persisting telemarketing calls.

    Yeah, it has caller ID but it's kind of annoying that they call 4 to 5 times a day bright early morning. It's just the thought that you have to go to the phone and look it up who's calling. Just imagine yourself doing that 4 to 5 times a day. EVERY DAY Monday thru Sunday ,that can get to you...

    Blockbuster may be going back to late fees

    I couldn't agree more on that. Why make a trip to the video store and when you get home and start watching TV instead. Blockbuster need to close all their stores and concentrate on online instead. That's where the future is heading right now. Instead of having 6 or 7 stores in one state. Just...

    I think a lot of poeple got turned off by the way the movie was filmed. My friend didn't want to go see it because of that but I made him go anyway.

    A lot of LCD and Plasma TV on the market nowaday are capable of handling 1080P and in the next couple years I bet all of new TV will be able to handle 1080P. Any news on any of the major network converting to 1080P. Fox and ABC already chose 720P as their preferred format. Are they thinking of...

    DVD Forum approves 51GB triple-layer HD DVD spec (Disney votes for it)

    Does HD-DVD need more than two layers for movies? Two layers should be more than sufficient for movie and special features. I think the space is more for the PC side where it can hold more data. Double layers for the DVD side never really taken the world by storm either. I have nothing but bad...
