    Thoughts on Spiderman Homecoming

    I really enjoyed the movie, so of course it was on my to get list when released on Blu-ray. I popped the bad boy into the player and low and behold, DTS Master 5.1!!! Am I missing something here!?! I think all the Marvel releases on Blu-Ray was 7.1 and this movie comes in as a 5.1 format...

    YouTube and PCM multi channel

    Hello HT fans, I am not sure if this has been discussed already, but last night I just noticed for the first time that while playing YouTube on my Sony BDP7200 player that all 7 channels were displayed on the receiver. I thought at first it was a receiver error, so I tried doing YouTube through...

    Sony - BDPS7200 3D + 4K Upscaler, any reviews from HTF Members

    I would like to know who has this player and how is it. Also, if you have a 4K capable t.v. that can upscale HD content to 4K, do you use the t.v. or the player? Thanks.

    Remember days of old and these demo discs

    I was moving a storage cabinet for old DVDs and I came across these. I remember when I got my first set up I can only play the Dolby Digital disc because my first receiver had no DTS decoding. When I upgraded to a Harmon Kardon AVR 500 from the Kenwood 202, I got the DTS cd. I decided to pop...

    How many of you invested in repairing RPTVS?

    It's been a while since I started a post, anyway a week ago I decided to invest some money into repairing my old Sony KP51WS520 RPTV. It cost me $200.00 which was only10% of what I would have spent to replace the unit with the same picture quality. The power board went bad as the indicator...

    New Desktop for Hulu viewing and t.v. connection.

    After seeing how Hulu works on GMA and viewing it over the weekend, I'm interested in getting a desktop that will be dedicated for the t.v. I'm pretty sure I can connect it via a VGA to component cable to the the old Sony RPTV. Any suggestions?

    Crutchfield and Samsung 61 DLP LED T.V. on sale.

    I went to the site and it's advertising it for 1299.00. If only we didn't have the house sell. I would jump all over this one. Sell the Sony for about 500.00 and shell out 700.00 would have gotten me this one. Jump on it if you are looking. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_30561A7...-HL61A750.html

    How much do you think a Zenith DVB 318 should sell for?

    I have one for sale on Craig's List for $85.00 and did not get a bite yet. Is it too high, I enumerated the fact that it scales to 1080i via component and therefore you can enjoy scaled DVDs on a HDTV that doesn't have HDMI. Is 85.00 too much to ask for and what would be a good price. The...

    LG dual format player open box special. Should I jump in or not?

    Walking by J&R today and saw it being used for a Pioneer t.v. The salesman said it was 269.00 for the open box special. Please note that I do have a Toshiba A3 and use it sparingly due to the lack of software, but this LG gives me an opportunity to jump in to BD. What would you guys do in this...

    Re: *** Official THE INCREDIBLE HULK Review Thread

    Yeah, I figured that it would be off limits to my son who's 7 years old. I have to thank Ang Lee's version of the Hulk that soured my son to the Hulk. I guess this one is a daddy only movie but the reviews have really drawn me to seeing this one.

    Okay, I bought a Toshiba HD A3, please help with what's next.

    I couldn't find it around where I live, then I ask my sister in law to pick it up at Walmart for 75.00 bucks. The last one was sitting there and she picked it up for me. Do I need to do any firmware addition of should it work right out of the box? Thanks for the responses.

    Don't Forget The Lyrics: okay let em rip!!!

    Saw it last night and first I feel bad for Wayne Brady because he's pretty talented, but the show is pretty bad I think. The concept of the show is a cross between Singing Bee and Who want's to be a millionaire. The two contestants last night too me looked and acted phoney. I made the comment to...

    DLP: Is it the next CRT-RPTV in the world of t.v.s?

    A friend asked me about purchasing a t.v. I explained to him how LCD is certainly cheaper as well as DLP (stayed away from plasma). However seeing the prices now for DLP I'm wondering if DLP is going in the same direction as CRT-RPTVs. I mean a 65 inch DLP can be had for less than 1800.00 now...

    Carpooling: What do you guys think?

    Surprised no one posted about it yet but, I watched the show lastnight and I had a good laugh. I"m easy to please but the whole premise on how these guys lives are outside of the carpool was pretty funny. One divorcee, new carpooler who apparently has to leave the car with the wife and in debt...

    Traveler: What did you think?

    The preview was last night and I must say I'm intrigued. Good opening, did take long for stuff to happen, well paced. You got conspiracy all over the place here and unfortunately we have to wait till May 30, but still a good preview last night, I'm on board for this one for a while anyway.

    Armageddon Criterion: Is it Anamorphic?

    I've noticed that Deepdiscounts has it for 29.98 and was contemplating purchasing, but I won't get it if it's non-anamorphic. I did the stretch thing with the first release and it works ok but really want to enjoy it the best way.
