I'm in the market for a similarly priced receiver. I am close to getting the 706, but what is scaring me off is reports of issues with video switching and upscaling. I'll be sending my Directv HDDVR through it, as well as a Blu-Ray player to come, an XBOX360 and a Wii. My current Sony TV...

Hi all - Someone at work is ready to at least dip her toe in the world of HDTV, and I could use some help with recommendations. She has a limited budget (probably between $700-$800, tops) but isn't looking for a huge size. Probably 32 at most. I think her cabinet space is about 35 1/2...

Well, the only reason I want it is for portabilty.. so the Roady isn't for me. Plus, those newer models seem a) pricey and b) a lot of that price seems tied into the mp3 storage... which I don't want. And... LOL.... c) I'm pretty sure my wife already ordered me the Delphi for my birthday...

For what it's worth, I hooked up my WRT54GX2 last night, and my old b adapter on my second PC picked up the signal right away. Then to reward it, I unhooked it and replaced it with the new g adapter I bought. :-)

Ron - Thanks. I think I want it for walking around. Not docked. If I'm somewhere where I can dock it... I've got other music choices at better fidelity. And in terms of the baseball package, if I'm home... I'll be watching on MLB Extra Innings, not listening. The new units you're...

Hi all - Pretty close to jumping in to the world of XM. Love my iPod but this would be more so for other things.. especially baseball! I contacted XM about providing a "lifetime" service option like Sirius is doing, but they have no plans for that. Too bad.. it somehow makes things seem a...

That is awesome. I've been toying with going to sat radio... and baseball would be THE reason I'd make the jump. Guess I need to read the forums to pick the best receiver for me. I need something portable and that I can plug into the car. Just a few weeks until pitchers and catchers!

Parker - How DARE you hijack my thread! :D Seriously, though... I'm interested in that result as well. It seems that some people DO have issues with b devices working with g routers, and some don't.

Seth - Thanks for that info. Haven't seen the particular bridge that I found online in any retail store. And while I know I want a new router, you're right... I want to find the bridge somewhere where I can return it. I'll go with the GX then. I think there's a GX2 and now a GX4. Any idea...

Hi all - Would really appreciate your advice with my home wirless situation. I don't mean to make this such a long post, but I figure I'll lay it all out and hopefully hit on the info you'd need if you were going to offer advice. As it is now: DSL coming into the house in the basement...

As always, I think there is a division between those of us who have enjoyed this show from the very start and those who jumped on later. There were/are several times when the show features extreme violence. But it is never ABOUT that. It is always about family. I don't mean to criticize...

Someone will need to confirm this by watching the movie... but I'm pretty sure that much of the dialog was straight from the film.. AS were some of the facial expressions from the audience. I think, in fact, that Seinfeld's part was as direct mimic of a shot in the film, as was that one where...

Anyone know of a good place to download roster updates for the PS2? My PS2 is not hooked up online, but I do have the sharkport so I can get them that way. Thanks

You all know that Bob "Super Dave Osborne" Einstein (whose "Do you crap standing up?" line is the funniest of the season thus far) is the brother of Albert Brooks, right? Didn't see that mentioned in the thread.

Just to reiterate something that has been said before, but perhaps overlooked by many.... Probst said that the "big lie" was something that players in the game DID not find out about at the time it was told. So while we'll probably be let in (via the perpetrator explaining on camera...

Loved Rupert...and wished he could win, but I think we all knew it was impossible. It is a fact. Whomever wins IS the best player that season. And, as much as I hate to say it, Jon is lining himself up nicely. It's not an accident that he'd like to go to the final 3 with the two outcasts...

Part of the problem is that the BUSINESS of entertainment is becoming entertainment in and of itself. It's the same thing that has happened with sports, and it changes the landscape. People used to read/write about what shows were good. What performances were good, etc. Sharp writing etc. Now...

Hi - A friend of mine is looking to start up a small business website. I've got some design experience with Composer (yuck!) and Dreamweaver (ok).... But I need to find a web host for him. He's hopeful that the site will get a lot of traffic, and he plans on putting catalog material up...

Chloe is played by the woman who played "Mary Lou" on the the last few seasons of the Larry Sanders show. That show was great, but she was the worst thing on it. Probably because she replaced the fantastic Janine Garafalo (I doubt I spelled either of those names correctly!). I watched seasons...

My wife and I watched seasons 1 & 2 on DVD (By the time we got season 1, season 2 had started so we had to wait) and loved that experience. This was our first "weekly" experience and it sure will take getting used to. It surely was a slow start, but they did set a lot up. I think Kim at...

Just watch to see who is CTU's "go to" person for computer issues. Then mark a big "X" across their face. We're 2-for-2 in those people dying early. Maybe that will be Kim's new role? Please? Pretty please?

I think the Enterprise comparision is very interesting. The big difference is that Enterprise has such low stakes. I mean, we KNOW that none of these characters has significant impact in the future.. or we would have heard of them, right? However, Smallville has taken on the idea that...

I disagree. Clark was "acting" the part of Kal when he confronted Edge. You can tell by the way he immediately cooled off from that an had a noticable "sigh" after it was over. I do think that the whole Kal experience is helping to explain why a relatively cool Clark in Smallville will turn...

I think it would be great if Rupert went to Morgan's island, and "pirated" Andrew's sports jacket. Sing with me... "Fat guy in a little suit.... Fat guy in a little suit"

Here's a thought. It's clear that they are well aware of comic continuity, and sort of tease us with it. But they also do seem to be making a good faith effort to "explain" it (i.e. how/why Lex is bad). My thought after last week is this. "Kal's" bender in Metropolis is pretty public. And...

Ron - I had J&R price match for me at a bit over $1200 (I forget the figure) but they, like everyone else, said they hoped to have it "soon". I then found it at panwebi.com (soho electronics in NY). Their price was $1299, but they wouldn't sell the camera alone, but you had to pony up for...

I just (finally) tracked down a 953 and placed my order! Should be here by early next week. I can't wait!

Ron - I got to see both the GS70 and the 953 in action today... and despite the price difference, I feel that we're going to go with the 953. Of course... the issue now is that NO ONE has the darn thing, while the GS70 goes for as little as $799 online. The only place I've seen the 953...
