Maybe it was the DishHD feed or the settings on the sets(believe me they varied greatly from brand to brand) or something else but, I was not bowled over by it. It was a pretty picture but I did not get the "looking through a window" effect from any of them. I know they were at sears and that...

I just got my copy this week. Haven't had a chance to watch it yet. I love this movie, actually all cheesy B/W sci fi/horror movies. This one actually holds up pretty well. I like this one better than Tim Burtons version.

One of my cats started sneezing last night, didn't think anything of it at the time. He usually sneezes once or twice a day, no biggie. But it was different last night. His breathing is labored and sounds congested. He is lethargic and doesn't want to eat(even offered him tuna-big treat). He...

Well, I put a bid in on a house and it was accepted. Still have to go through all the FHA rigamarole and inspections and etc... but dammit I'm gonna be a homeowner! I've been looking for almost a month and was getting tired of looking at overpriced crap. This is the first one I went though that...

Well, the girlfriend and I are splitting up and going our separate ways. I was going to look for another apartment or duplex but decided I was tired of paying rent. I checked our local state housing website and it looks like I might qualify for a low interest, state subsidized loan on my income...

This has been bugging the hell out of me for some time now, maybe you guys can shed some light on it for me. I like Dr.Pepper but cannot figure out what flavor it is. It tastes really familiar like I should know what it is but I can't figure it out. I've searched all kinds of Dr. Pepper websites...

While it is prettier than GT2 by a mile, GT3 is not as deep or involving as GT2. There are fewer cars(no used ones to buy) and fewer races. It feels as if it has been dumbed down or something. I like some of the menu changes and some of the other things that make it more user friendly but it...

I have been watching my new x-files season 5 set and I have to say that the video quality is stunning. I have all 5 sets and while the video quality has always been good I always thought that it hasn't been great. I have noticed a few artifacts here and there throughout the different seasons. So...

Any good websites for comparing features and image quality of digital cameras? Thanks for any suggestions.

What is going on with the PS2 memory cards(Sony). Just got a PS2 and I am having a hell of a time finding them. NONE of my local stores (Target, CC, BB, Walmart, ToysRUs, etc...) have any in stock and they are not sure when they will be in stock. I even had a hard time finding them in stock with...

Well, I made my first set of cables using the canare tools/wire/connectors. It wasn't too difficult. I made a composite video cable from the LV-77S, and L,R audio cables from the LC5. These cables were for my cable box-which doesn't have s-video out. They turned out to be a mixed blessing. The...

I was at a local stereo/hometheater store today and heard someone listening to a demo of Klipsch RF series (10's I think)speakers. People say that NHT speakers are bright but my NHT's are positively laid back compared to these. These were so bright I instinctively thought of nails on a...

This may have been mentioned before but it really irritates me. My cheapie pioneer DVD player can be turned on and off with the remote. Why can't CD players have the same capability? I have worked around it by leaving it powered up and having it plugged into the switched outlet on the back of my...

I actually enjoy the THX and DTS trailers on dvd's. I can only recall seeing one DD trailer on a dvd ever(at least in my 300+ collection). Why is that? I think they are kinda cool.

I realize the days are numbered and that a lot of the last two seasons have sucked but... There were a few standalone episodes I liked. Are they just going to all of a sudden have a season finale after no episodes for several months or is there some kind of plan here? Yeah I know it hasn't been...

Title says it all, does every other thread need to be a tournament?

Just wondering if I was the only one here with a macintosh computer. I never see any mac threads in here. I realize that pc's are cheaper and there is more software available but I think macs are more user friendly. Thoughts?

I remember seeing this movie as a kid on a Saturday afternoon creature feature, can't remember the title though and it's been driving me nuts. It takes place in the 70's(mid I think). There is this teenager who lives in a state near the desert(arizona, new mexico, california???) He is about...

This has been driving me nuts, hope someone can help. I have been determined to finish 100% of GT2. I have won every race I can find in the game. I am currently working my way towards all gold in the license tests. My game status is 98.2% finished. I noticed in the game status window under...

Okay maybe someone can give me a definite answer on this. I have heard that the same s-video cable can be used on both the ps1 and ps2. Following the same line of reasoning, can a component cable from a ps2 be used with a ps1 since they theoretically have the same connector for the video cables...

I have had more problems with UPS than with all other shippers combinedx2. This time they delivered my citizen kane, legend of hell house, 13 ghosts shipment to the wrong address. I got a email notification that it had shipped from amazon. I had forgotten that it was shipping UPS(was...

Is anyone aware of a time of day or day of the week that is child/teenager free? I went to see The Others for a second time hoping to be able to pay attention to some of the minute details. Boy was I wrong. I ended up with teenagers on either side of me(I am in my mid-thirties) and they were...

Boy am I getting sick of "reality tv". I didn't even watch the first season of survivor. I thought the whole idea of these shows would die off after a year or so. Will people really do anything( including making fools of themselves) to be on tv? Is anybody else sick of it? It really doesn't...

I just signed on for AT&T digital cable. I got a motorola box w/out svideo, just composite. For those of you with AT&T digital cable is it possible to remove channels from the lineup so you don't have to scroll through a bunch of local access crap to surf channels? It does have a favorites...

Well as much as I hate to admit it I'm going to give AT&T a try at digital cable. I really want a dish setup but don't want to install all the equipment(multiple receivers) in my current rental. AT&T called last week and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. The total bill for the digital box...
