Could someone with knowledge please remind me again of the labeling to look for in determining whether the R1 Good Will Hunting disc is anamorphic? I seem to remember that it was never entirely clear but I'm hoping that by now any of the old discs have been cleared out of inventory. Still, would...

Seems like all the consumer recievers I'm pricing only have 2 component video inputs for switching purposes. I would love to find one with 3 in the event that I can get HDTV through the cable company (the other two for DVD/game system). Not looking to spend big bucks, just hoping to find...

I'm driving myself looking for stands for my old Yamaha speakers. They are built like a tank (only about 2-3ft tall) and, hence, too heavy for any of the new mid-height speaker stands. What I had (until the feet broke) were just some very low MDF "platforms" that raised the speakers a few inches...

Any Monk fans notice that he's sort of the anti-Columbo in that his obssessive-compulsive, neat-freak ways mask to an extent his detective skills, in the same way that Coumbo's messiness led the perps into thinking there's no way this schlub could ever figure out how I did it? I've become hooked...

Finally made the jump to widescreen and progressive scan and was wondering if my experience is anything like others' in the past. Admittedly, I am probably sitting just a little to close to my 30" Philips direct-view than is proper, but I am still a bit disappointed in the way many DVD's...

Hey gang, If anyone's looking to pick up the new Sony progressive scan player, please let me know. I have put it up at Amazon on their Marketplace (I think I'm the only one selling one there). Not including the link, as per the rules, but it's an easy way to pay for it if you have an Amazon...

Saw this on the wires today: "NEW YORK (Reuters) - Satellite television provider EchoStar Communications Corp. said on Sunday it is making a $30.4 billion stock bid for Hughes Electronics Corp. in a move that could trump rival News Corp. in a battle for Hughes' coveted DirecTV network...

O.k., I'm getting ready to take the plunge on an HDTV satellite system and need the distinctions between Dish Network and Direct TV drawn. My impressions from reading the posts is that Dish has the edge at the moment, with a wider selection of HD content. What about the systems themselves...

Anyone hear any scuttlebut on the chances of new 16:9 direct views this fall, specifically any models under the $2K barrier? There are some good deals out there on the Toshiba and Philips, but there are problems with each as well. I know it's always a risk, but I would feel like a chump to get...

Check out this link: dailynews.yahoo.com/h/nm/20010122/tc/media_digitaltv_dc_1.html What's the consensus? I think it will be good in the long run in that it will provide a disincentive to stations to simply chop up their single hi def channel into multiple lower def feeds.
