    Dang, I meant to try and make that clear, but I didn't - sorry. This DVD is our product. We own it :-)

    DVD clip to Quicktime (for own DVD)>

    Hello, We have a DVD that we want to take a 30 second an 60 second clip from and put it on our website. Does anyone know the proper software to do this? I think I might just plug my DVD player into my computer and record the parts I need, but then how do I get it in a playable format to...

    Anyone going to see Rush this summer?

    Did anyone see the Cincy show last night? Holy crap, was that an awesome show. I saw them in Chi-town a couple weeks ago, but this, I felt, was much better sounding and I could not believe how relaxed they were. We got 6th row on Alex's side and that was really nice. My cousin and I are going...

    Anyone going to see Rush this summer?

    Mike Broadman, You asked if anyone saw them for the last tour in Chicago. I was at that show and it is kind of funny because my dad kept bugging me all the previous tours about going so I took him to this show. When the DS CD came out I bought it for him. He was pretty excited. He was 67 at...

    To those who frequent Cedar Point-recommendations?

    Dumb question - does fast pass cost anything? Here at Great America you can buy a Fast Lane for $10 for 4 rides, but you can go whenever.

    Dish HD6000 - Sounds like it's on when it's off?

    I just thought there was something I could do with the HD6000. My PVR501 didn't seem to give off as much noise. Greg, dumb question. Does the 721 do HD? I didn't think it did, but I have not looked that hard yet.

    Dish HD6000 - Sounds like it's on when it's off?

    Hi, I have just recently moved my HD6000 to the bedroom for some testing and noticed that when it turns off, it goes quiet and then sounds like it starts up again. The light does not come on and there is no signal so it is turned off. It is just kind of annoying really. Does anyone know...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    To keep you up to date, as Jeff requested, I ended up getting 3 B&K VM1's for L/R/C and 2 LM1's for rears. I do not have a sub yet, but am working on trying to find some room. I could not find a local place to try the Missions and the VM1's seemed like they would look nice with the setup...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Jeff, Thanks for the nice words, but my persuasion skills really aren't that great. It is my wife's and my 10 year anniversary this year and I had already bought her a nice anniversary band. This was my anniversary gift. She also said she got a headache when she watched tv at the funny...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Oy Oy Headache! All these decisions! Anyway, thank you everyone for all the ideas so far. I have looked through all of these on-line, but have only been able to listen to the JBL S-36II speakers. So now I have, based on looks, wall mounting capability, space restrictions, and budget (which...

    Dish picture breaking up question

    Well, I haven't been able to adjust my dish to try and improve the signal, but my wife and I did some tests. This only appears to happen on local channels. When we watch the same local channel on different receivers, it breaks up at the same time. When we watch different local channels, they...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Does anyone have the S-36's? How do they sound w/o a subwoofer? What is a good center to go with them? How do they compare with the Phantoms?

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Luke_Y - I thought of them, but don't really want to mess up the walls that much. I am assuming the wall needs to be cut somewhat for these, correct?

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    No offense taken Camp - I was actually thinking this myself after writing some of this stuff. It was actually hard getting approval for the plasma so I didn't want to over do it :) I am also concerned about size and I guess I was just wondering if there were really good smallish speakers for...

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    I just looked at the AR Phantoms on-line and they look very nice, but I am not sure about the price. How do the 5.2 series sound w/o a subwoofer? I know I will need to listen to them myself, but I would like opinions too of possible. Thanks for the ideas so far! David

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Now that I have looked around some more, how would the JBL NSP1 II work out do you think? The center sticks out a bit further than desired, but I think I could put it above the plasma so I don't hit it when I walk by. The satellites should be fine I think. Any thoughts?

    Need smallish speakers for next to Plasma screen

    Hello, I have just purchased a Plasma display (Panny 42") and am looking for some small speakers to put with it (wall mounted). This will be used in a bedroom (approx 12 x 14) and most likely with an Onkyo SR600 receiver. The plasma will probably stick out about 4" and I do not want...

    Dish picture breaking up question

    Hello, For the last week or so, my Dish picture breaks up every once in a while. It pauses and pixelates a little and then comes back. It only seems to happen when somethign I really want to see is on :) I have checked signal strength and it is about 83. Does this seem like a low signal...

    Who Has Pics Of Natalie Portman From Letterman (5-16 show) ??

    I was able to watch it, but unfortunately did not tape it to send you, sorry. Natalie did look very stunning though. There were some funny things with her and one of the Stupid Human Trick participants after she left.

    Rush 'Vapor Trails' Review

    Way to go Tom! Hey, I was just out with my telescope and saw some Earthshine. How fitting... Neil captures the feeling of looking at it incredibly! I think they planned their release date around the moon phases!

    Rush for me - I have been waiting for this for a long time. I always make sure to get the album on the release day and have since Grace Under Pressure. I have also seen them at least once on each tour since then and really love it. Have tix to 2 shows so far for this tour. Oh crap, this is...

    Rush 'Vapor Trails' Review

    Tom, Like Mike said it is pretty heavy, but there are times where you can hear similar riffs from previous albums. Not as far back as Hold Your Fire though. I think I recognized some cord progressions that sounded similar to Test for Echo. Overall, I really like this album and think I will...

    New RUSH song

    Any NFL games in HD?

    I'm sorry if this is the wrong place to put this, but I can't seem to find any info on this forum. Does anyone know if there will be any NFL games in HD this year? I think I heard the Superbowl was not, but maybe some playoff games??? Thanks, David
