    RCA DirectTV/TIVO 75 hour for $100 at Best Buy

    I just bought one of these at Best Buy. They just got stock on them in the last couple of weeks supposedly. They also have the same RCA unit but with a 35 hour hard drive for $80. The 80 Gig/75 hour RCA unit for $100 is the best deal I have seen on these.

    Any Vision Quest fans???

    I just saw the movie on Reel Classics on ESPN Classic channel. I forgot how much I enjoyed this movie. Some interesting "making of" on that broadcast. The soundtrack is probably one of the best ever for Pop music and the two songs Madonna does on film are priceless nuggets. Matthew Modine was...

    What primarily is the difference in the HDX82 series and the H82? I am interested in both the 57" and 65" models. Also, does the 57" models break down like the 65" does. I noticed at Onecall that the HDX82 series is Retail sale only. Why is that and is it still possible for them to ship...

    Kansas fans - What happened to Steve Walsh's voice?

    I was listening to some original '70s Kansas stuff and Steve Walsh's voice just sounded so good. I heard their Live at the Whiskey from early '90s and his voice was brutal. I saw them in concert last year and it was okay but definitely not what it once was. Something had to have happened to...

    Is the HK 8000 out yet? I know the 520 is. Any quality assurance problems with this unit? I really like the HK sound. I probably would be using it as a Pre/Pro with two HK PA5800 amps. What benefits/features does the 8000 have over the 520? It is quite a price jump. I currently have a...
