    Satellite Expressvu or Star Choice?

    I've checked out so called digital cable and it sucks in my opinion, so now I want to go with a dish. Living in Canada I have a choice between Expressvu or Star Choice. I don't watch that much tv, but I do want the best sound and picture possible. I will be ordering a lot of pay-per-view as I am...

    Panny A-320

    Thanks for all the replies, but it seems like almost everyone when their machine starts to act up replaces it, rather then have it repaired. Is it that expensive to fix? I watched an entire film last night with no glitches, so I'm wondering is it possible for the laser to get dust on it and then...

    Panny A-320

    My just under two-year old machine Panasonic A-320 has started having problems playing both new discs and older ones that played fine in the past. Sometimes I get a message saying that the disc is dirty and I clean it, but then it happens again even when I can see no dirt or smudges. The laser...

    Criterion's Third Man - not available in Canada ?

    I picked up a copy of this, my all time fave film, from one of the best dvd stores in Toronto - Bay Street Video. They only had a few copies left when I purchased mine several months ago. I don't think they have an on-line service, but their number is 416-964-9088. Good luck.

    Center Seaker Question

    This may seem like a no-brainer to some of you, but I'm not as technically sound as some of you, so here goes. I am using two bookshelf style Mission speakers as my fronts. I've only had them for a year and didn't want to spend any more money then necessary. I then purchased two other Mission...

    RX-V596 vs RX-V520

    I am trying to decide between two Yamaha receivers. One is the RX-V596 and the other is RX-V520. I realize that the 596 has more power, but my question is which one should I choose given they will be used 50/50 as far as home theater and music goes. The 520 has all channel stereo and the other...

    Take 5.2 for music

    I'm really leaning towards buying this set-up, but I'm wondering how does this system sound when listening to music? I don't have a super critical ear, but would like to buy a decent compromise. In terms of my use it's probably 50-50 for the music and home theatre use.

    Energy Take 5 System $$

    My Canadian friends. What is the going rate for this system, including the sub they reccomend with this set? And what receiver would you compliment it with? I'm on the verge of deciding and just need to know some costs and some reviews of this system.
