I went to a local Best Buy on my lunch today to have a look around and apparently they had a Blu Ray player hooked up to a Samsgun 50 inch display with a model number ending in 71. This is a 1080p set with 250:000 contrast ratio with 120hz capability. They were playing some demo scenes...

http://www.dvdreview.com/news/ FINALLY, he had all known of Paramounts plans, but never had firm release information for anything, and with the initial delays of HD DVD, it seemed pretty shaky. It is great to get a 3rd studio, hopefully others are soon to follow.

http://www.hdbeat.com/2006/07/08/ric...-blu-ray-discs Awesome news. Maybe this will push a combo player closer to reality and faster than originally hoped now that a single head can do all the work.

In anticipation for Episode 3 coming very soon, I am hoping I can watch this in a Digital Projection theater. Thing is I am not aware of any in Oklahoma City, and my Google-Fu seems to be very weak right now. Is there a listing for movie theaters in the US and what is confirmed to be...

So today I have had my first eBay burn after many successful transactions in the buying and selling of legit DVD's. I do occasional Star Trek Season set DVD shopping and jump when I see a good deal. So far so good until a couple weeks ago. I see good prices on DS9 box sets and bid on 3 and...

So tonight was the first episode of 5, that clocks in at about 12 minutes long. Lots of good back story in this one. From what I hear, the final episode this Friday will take us right up to the opening crawl in Episode 3.

Last year my dad was killed, probate has completed and I now own my house and my dads house. Originally we were just gonna sell it outright. But after thinking about it, values on my house and dads house have increased. The wife and I want to sell both houses, and use the profits above...

Hi all. This is not about investments, but more about who has purchased gold/silver bars/boullion and how did you do it? I have for years wanted to have a few gold and silver coins and the small 1 ounce bars setup in a display case or some other such thing in my collection of stuff. I...

I haven't been able to find a downloadable version that can be saved to the HDD yet. Copy and paste this link into a browser or open the URL directly in Windows Media Player. mms://od-msn.msn.com/22/mbr/a_050220_bk_promo.wmv For some reason I can't stop watching this commercial...would...

So the other day I saw part 1 on HD Net and decided to look up Pat Morita online to see what other movies he has been in. He has kept rather busy apparently, with a few movies this year even. Anyway looking through the credits I see The Karate Kid part III. I was a bit perplexed as this was...

HDNet was showing this movie so I told my HD Tivo to record it. I can now say with confidence that I know why you never see this movie on regular TV. It's rather disturbing but strangely fascinating. One thing I don't understand at the end was the conversation at the end. Wasn't that...

Hi all, just got my set today. I have a Panny DVD-S47 progressive player hooked up via component inputs and I have tried Comp1 Comp2 and the DTV input, I have set the player to progressive, but when I hit info on the Mitsu remote it only shows as a 480i source, not 480p. What do I need to change...

Hi all...I take the dive into Home Theater finally after all these years on Sept 25th. I will be getting the Mitsu WS-65813 and would like to know the recommended software for calibrating this set. I have never purchased this type of software as for the last 8 or so years I only had a 27...

Heading to Dallas this weekend and the wife wants a nice large hottub/jacuzzi in room if possible. Searching on the web is a friggin nightmare unfortunately. Anyone know? Also, I was trying out Priceline.com but it says if a place accepts my offer then I will be charged immediately. What...

Finally pulled the trigger and ordered this camera. Lots of good things mentioned about it. I can't wait to get it and post a few samples next week.

After long last I now have the ability to start depositing funds into my "Home Theater Savings account" I have set an approximate budget for around $3000 as I dont want top end (will do a projector when we get a new house, current house cant support a projector of any type) nor do I want...

I purchased Schindler's List at Wal-Mart this weekend and watched it last night. Most of Side A played fine, but had some pixelation and blockiness appear all over the picture and nearly froze my player at the point when the site manager starts beating on his housemaid down in the cellar. I was...

I haven't pre-ordered in quite sometime, and unfortunately Amazon has not responded to my question. I want to pre-order the Star Wars trilogy coming in September. If I pre-order now, when do I get charged? I am hoping around the time of release date when it actually ships. Anyone able to...

Last week I had a very unfortunate event of 2 of my DVD players dying very close to one another. One was my beloved Toshiba SD3109 dual disc. The other, the orignal Apex 600a that cuased a buzz back in 2000. Since I was DVD Playerless I decided to go to Wal-Mart in a pinch and just get...

Well, trying to do a FHA Streamlined refinance, and have hit the first hiccup. Lender says there is a judgement on my title from a company that I filed on in my bankruptcy last year. As far as it ever got with Nextcard was 1 garnishment, and that was it. We made sure that they were included...

This is crazy. I am reliving the days back when 2x CD burners could be had for less than $400 and I was super happy back then. Yesterday I snagged the Pioneer Dual 8x burner. Have chugged out some data DVD's of random video's, mp3's patches and the sort just to try it out. The mind...

I am in the market for a DVD Burner and will likely get a Pioneer A07 8x DVD+-R Burner. I have a Sony D8 Cam with Firewire so I can easily import video and then do a direct dump of the data into DVD Video Format. My question is, what software do those of you here that do this use? Is there...

Link to news article I don't forsee a lot of good coming out of this other than delays delays and more delays of either format. UGH!!!!

So after hearing an on the Radio about FHA loans being able to be refinanced with no appraisal, inspections/up front or closing costs, I decided to call one of these places up. Currently I can get a 6% rate, (my rate now is 7.875%) which would save me about $90 a month on my payment, and...

All over town I see billboards showing a Dodge truck with a bumper sticker that says "Yeah, it's got a Hemi" And commercials are starting to drive me nuts. Nowhere in these ads or signs does it say what the hell a hemi is. Based on the TV Ad it seems to have something to do with the power of the...

Sweet mother of no waiting in line any longer Self Checkout lines have arrived in Oklahoma City! I couldn't believe it, finally a self check out lane, no, wait 4 of em on this side of the store, all empty, ready to go, to accept my goods on the scanner and payment in return. I looked around...

After deciding to look at a refi calculator on bankrate.com it turns out at today's interest rates, and even if I go a bit higher, I can save between $100 and $300 a month, depending on if I go 15 or 30 years on my home. My current rate (obtained in Dec of 2000) is 7.875%, Bankrate.com is...

Today I was at Ultimate Electronics, and drawing every closer to closing in on a WS HDTV purchase. I saw the Samsung HLN567W DLP monitor and it looked friggin' awesome! Its native resolution is 1280x720 so it would down covert 1080i material to 720p. How much of a degrade in picture would...

Hi all, All day today I have been suffering the worst neck crick I have ever experienced. I know I had to have slept incorrectly the night before, Anyway, anytime I turn my head to the left or lean to the left I get a severe pain in one of the muscles close to the back. Tylenol has not...
