    Directv NFL Sunday Ticket 2003

    Is it just me or has the price of NFL Sunday Ticket, been raised substantially? I don't believe I paid over $129.99 last year, this year it's $179.99. Oh well, they did include two pretty good coupons with my mailer...one was for a free PPV movie, the other was for a $179.99 DirecTIVO unit...

    I just bought a new DVD player that has the Burr-Brown DAC's. Using a digital output, am I getting any benefit from the Burr-Brown DAC's? Thanks, Jim

    Panasonic DVD-F85K

    Since I can't find any user information on this player, I'm assuming it's new. Does anyone know if this player includes/ uses the Farjouda video chip? Thanks, Jim

    I'm tempted to go back to using a receiver as a pre-pro!

    I bought my B&K Reference 10 in December of 1997. Last January I upgraded the unit to a Reference 20+ (at a cost of ~$1000). Keep in mind, the Reference 20+ does not have all the features (like THX processing, component switching, etc.) that the Reference 30 does. I'm considering buying a new...

    Doug Smith's "Order of Magnitude"

    This accoustic guitar CD is back in print. I saw it for sale at Amazon.com and Bestbuy.com. I have had this CD for over 7 years and it seldom leaves my player. I first came across this disk in 1995. A friend of mine bought it at a resale shop, and I looked for three months to find a copy...

    DirecTIVO Dolby Digital Question

    I can't seem to get a Dolby Digital signal from my DirecTIVO. Although I've had the unit for 8 months, this is something I just noticed. Before you ask, the only audio connection I'm using is the optical connection. I also have my audio options set to "yes" to enable a Dolby Digital...

    DirecTIVO availability?

    Does anyone know when DirecTIVO units are going to be available to non-new subscribers? Sheesh! I bought my current unit last Christmas for $99.00. Had I known that these units were going to become such a rare commodity, I'd have bought two! Thanks in advance, Jim

    DirectTIVO unit for HI-Def?

    Anyone know when (if ever), we'll see a DirectTIVO unit that supports HDTV? I'd like to get one of the new DSS-HDTV units (if nothing else for the component video output), but don't want to loose my TIVO, or go with a separate TIVO unit. Thanks, Jim

    "Stir of Echoes," worth a rewatch!

    I watched this movie when if first came out, and it hasn't been watched again, until last night. This movie scared the crap out of me. I had to turn the volume down, because the surrounds are often in use, and the overall volume of the title just seems loud. Also, there are quite a few scenes...

    Has anyone upgraded their B&K Reference 10 or 20?

    Based on a recommendation from my dealership and B&k, I'm going to upgrade my Reference 10 to a Reference 20+. I was told the only difference between the Reference 20+ and the Reference 30, is that the Reference 20+ will lack component video inputs/ outputs and THX equalization. Has anyone...

    Need help with Philips DVD Q50 settings

    Hi: I bought this player a couple of weeks ago, and can't figure out what to set the color settings at! It has a "personal" (where you can individually change color, contrast, brightness, etc.) setting, a "rich" setting, a "natural" setting and a "soft" setting. I really don't want to...
