    Tivo season pass question

    Ive had replayTV and I'm struggling a bit with the DIRECtivo, I just got. Let's say I want to to record the 11 PM ET Howard Stern on E every night. How do I prevent it from taping the 11:30, 2:00 AM and 2:30 AM versions? Adjusting the record first run (vs repeats) didnt do it.

    Can I control live HDTV?

    I have a ReplayTV and I am about to get a Directv HDTV box. Will I be able to hook it up so I can control live TV, via the replay and still enjoy the benefits of the HD?

    Can't get analog stick to work w/ MK:DA

    I have no idea what's wrong, but I can't get the analog sticks to control the characters in Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance. The sticks work in other games but not this one. The control pad works the characters but not the sticks. What am I doing wrong?

    Saw Old School

    My wife and I went out with another couple Saturday night to see The Recruit. It was sold out. I saw there was a sneak preview of Old School so we saw that instead. I was, at best hoping for a few laughs (I've always liked Will Ferrell) but was very pleasantly suprised. It was very funny, and...

    "Pop-up Links"?

    Out of nowhere, I seem to have a weird thing happening. Certain words in stories on various websites have a hyperlink underline that when clicked go to another website. Example, there could be an article on ESPN.com where a football player mentions his retirement and the word retirement is...

    Is Alias a repeat tonight-10/28 ?

    My ReplayTV guide says it is a repeat. Maybe because there is a World Series Game 7, they switched it to a repeat? Does anyone know?

    Someone wants to get me a watch for a special occassion, The limit is 1000 but closer to 750 would be better. I like modern (vs. vintage types) but was looking for something unique as opposed to Tag Heur which a lot of people have. Any suggestions?

    MP3 download question

    I know this is a stupid question, but when I want to download an MP3 and it gives a range of bitrates, what do I choose? Is the higher bitrate better quality but it takes up more room on an MP3 player or PC?

    Receiver turns off when there's a loud scene

    I don't post here ever (mostly a software/TV/Movie guy), but I'm having a weird reoccurring problem, that maybe someone can help me with. I have a Yamaha RXV-690 in my secondary (living room) home theater. When I play it fairly loud (maybe on 4) and there's a loud moment in a scene, the receiver...

    Balto 2-On TV today and DVD Tuesday?

    My kids love the original Balto and even though Balto 2 will probably be a weak sequel, I had planned on getting it Tuesday, it's supposed release date. Except I see that it is on Toon Disney this morning. Isn't that strange that they would have it on TV, 2 days before it's "release date"?

    ***The Official Survivor 4: The Marquesas *** thread

    http://www.cbs.com/primetime/survivor4/ What's really bizarre (for me) is that one of the guys, Rob Mariano, lives on my street. I don't know him, but I saw he was from my hometown, looked him up in phone book and lo and behold he lives like 3 houses from me. Really Weird!

    can't do a trick on Tricky

    Trying to get through the trick book tricks and can't figure out how to do a move that has a back or forward flip combined with a side spin. E.g a BS (>)180 + forward flip. If I do both in the air, it counts it as 2 separate moves, not one. Any ideas?

    Wacky VCR behavior

    OK. Explain this. I taped Friends for someone and I gave them the tape. He said when he played it back the picture for it was fine but the audio was from another show. Sure enough when I play it back in a different VCR then the one I taped it on, there's different audio. When I play it on the...
