Anybody besides me getting severe central area of screen pixilation on the Olympics diving events? I'm using an OTA rooftop antenna, an LG STB hooked via component cables to a fairly new ViewSonic projector, and I don't know if it's the signal, the STB, or the projector. The only other...

also apparently doing business as J & K Camera, and who knows what else. After finding their price for a Mitsu HC1500 on DidUPrice.com where they got the highest rating, I placed an internet order. They advertise factory fresh and full warranty. They called me back a few hours later and told...

Mistubishi HC1500 or Optoma HD72 ?? Both of these have dropped in price in the last few months, and to me the specs look similar. Any consensus that one is drastically better? (I will be replacing a deader-than-dead SP4800)

This one is really serious. I have already had 1 cat die at my clinic, and several more pets are sick. If you are feeding any canned or "meat in a pouch" type food to your dog or cat, please check the recall list ASAP. http://www.menufoods.com/recall/index.html

My 4800 blew it's first bulb on Sunday. Scared the heck out of me. :) Then I bought a new bulb from Infocus since I couldn't find one cheaper. Yeoow! That first bulb only lasted 1975 hours. :frowning: The dust screen wasn't very dirty, but I had never cleaned it, due to ignorance. Does...

preferably one that has a built-in Laser Disc RF AC-3 input; like the VSX-39TX or VSX-47TX. Other models considered. Let me know what you have, please.

that has PHONO inputs, and a RF AC-3 input for laser discs, as well as the usual veritable plethora of analog and digital inputs. Does anyone still make such a beast? (other than Yamaha's RX-Z9) Would like a refurbed Pioneer Elite VSX-47TX if anyone knows of a source.

Running XP Pro. Made a boo-boo a while back when installing the software that came with my Plextor CD-RW (kinda old). Anyway, the Adaptic software, now owned by Roxio, attempted to load "DirectCD" drivers, which XP won't allow, and it gives me an error message on the taskbar every time it...

Please help, computer gurus, as I am ignorant. :) I want to video tape my golf swing with my VHS camcorder, then load the video into my computer for swing analysis. The camcorder is analog, so I need a video analog to digital converter. I found a couple, but: Question 1: should I get...

Do I have to reregister to use the photo gallery? Is the user name supposed to be the same?

Another one?

Having bought a front projector, I am in the process of redoing my home theater. I got rid of my big RPTV and moved my 2 equipment racks to the side of the room, thus freeing up the whole front wall for the screen and 3 front speakers. BUT....now I'm having trouble getting my remote controls...

Last night while watching JAG , I noticed that when there was a flashback , and the picture composition changed drastically, my InFocus 4800 would lose the picture momentarily, then display the "setting up picture" box. This happened about 6 times last night and was kinda annoying. Something I'm...

not 100 yards away from my front door. Those guys are so fast it was over in 15 seconds!!! I had time to get 4 pictures with my digital Nikon and that was it. The leader (Lance Armstrong?) was by me before I could even get the camera level. :) Absolutely amazing.

Last week I took my Montero Sport in to the dealership for routine service. Last night I got a call from one of the salesmen who said they have someone who wants to buy it. It's 2001 XS 3.5 4WD with only 19,000 miles, in very good condition, so I could understand someone wanting to buy it...

I'm changing from a large RPTV to a ceiling mounted front projector, and if I want the room to look right I'm going to have to: 1- remove my ceiling fan 2- relocate my 2 A/V racks, which means buying about 6 sets of longer video/digital/analog cables 3- figuring out where to put the racks...

Anyone have any experience with negotiating a cell phone tower lease? My mother has been contacted by a company who wants to put a tower on some land we own.

I finally got my first laptop :); it's a used ThinkPad T22 I got off of eBay, and I really like it. Now I'm developing some slideshow presentations, and I need a projector to hook to the laptop, and I haven't a clue as to what I need. The laptop has a S-video out and a computer video out. I...

Can anyone recommend a HiRez version on Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3 to replace my CD version? Last night I was listening to this CD, the RCA Red Seal David Helfgott recording, on headphones. I've listened to it a thousand times through speakers, but this was the first time through...

Help! After months and months of pleading, writing letters, calling everyone I can think of, I have finally gotten the Army to "consider" granting me an age waiver for a commission in the Army Reserve, as a Veterinary Officer. The trouble is: they want a frigging RESUME! Actually...

I have never owned a laptop; all of my 15 (!)computers have been desktops, so I need a little advice on what to buy. I need one that will: Read CD-ROMs and CD-Rs/CD-RWs, mostly containing PDFs. Video out for displaying on a separate monitor. Modem. Sound, via ear phones would be OK...

I read a good bit, usually 4-5 books a week; usually novels, sometimes histories or biographies. This week I got through reading all of James Webb's novels, and finally realized that one character, "Wild Bill" Fogarty, was central in 2 of them, "A Sense of Honor" and " Something to Die For". The...

I've got a 2001 Mitsubishi Montero Sport with the standard non-Infinity CD player and speakers. The speaker in the right rear door has just developed an annoying distortion, I guess it's blown. According to Crutchfield, this is a 6.5-6.75" speaker. Recommendations, please on a decent pair...

I'm trying to remember the title and author of a book I read years ago (I need it as ammo in an argument.) The only thing I can remember about it is that electronic voting for everything was mandatory, you had to use your ID card to vote, and if you didn't vote "correctly" it was recorded...

Remember the great Y2K computer scare? A lot of us who were using PCs for work & business had to buy new hardware & software to ensure we could keep operating, just because some bozos couldn't concieve of the date changing. That's nothing compared to the goat-f**k that's going to happen when...

I wrote a letter to one of my Congressfolks a few weeks back, asking for an answer to a question and a minor favor, and so far I haven't heard anything back, not even an acknowledgement that it was received. I know these folks are really busy trying to get re-elected doing important guvment...
