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...

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...

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...

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...

Hi all - I'm ready to jump into the digital camcorder pond... and would sure appreciate some advice. I've been doing some research and am unsure if I can actually get something I'll be happy with for a number of years at the price I'm intersted in paying. Here's what I know: 1. I do not...

Just got my new Sony 32HS500... and 715p Progressive scan DVD player... and have been going through the collection to find a few titles/scenes to use as demos. Suggestions are welcome! What are your favs?

It says they have this unit "in stock." And they're an authorized Sony retailer. Anyone have any experience with them? ABTElectronics (another authorized dealer) also purports to have it in stock for $199. the $15 Vanns coupon expires today (June 25). So it SEEMS like a great...

Bought the Panasonic RP-62 on Sunday... and figured since previous Panny's had the coax, this one would. (Yes, it was an impulse buy!). But now it has to go back. I've seen two Sony models... the DVPNS700p and the DVPNS715p... anyone know the difference? Or if they're any good? I'd like...

I, like most people, loathe extended warranty/service plans... unless they involve some sort of routine maintenance I'd be doing anyway. For example, when I bought my lawn mower at Sears, the SP included annual in home tune up/blade sharpening. I felt it was a good deal. But we've just lugged...

Amazing looking set, by the way! Just want to make sure I've got this straight. I: a - Set the DVD to output in 16x9 mode. b - Select 16x9 on the TV when it's an anamorphic transfer, but keep it in regular mode when it's not? And what do I do with 4x3 movies? Do I change the DVD set...

I'd love to spend around $200... and since Sears matches internet prices... those great deals from places you've never heard of on mysimon.com seem pretty effective. But can anyone tell me if Sears currently sells anything like the Panasonic rp56?

Hi all. Thinking of taking advantage of a 10% off coupon at BB and buying a KV-32HS500... which is the NEW 32 HTDV Ready Wega (right?). They've got it for $1,499. We're also thinking about a 27 Wega (KV-27FS13) for the bedroom. That's priced at $549. For the bedroom set, we'd just...

Hi all - Here's the deal. We are adding a third TV in a (currently being) redone basement. I'd like to take the 32" Sony I have in our family room and put it down there, and upgrade the family room TV to either a 32" or 36" flat screen, HDTV ready set. (Have issues as to whether a 36" can fit...

Hi all - I'm moving my current 32" Sony Trinitron into the basement, and using the opportunity to upgrade my primary TV. I've been trying to keep up with the latest issues and concerns (as well as deals) but I must admit I've become a bit overwhelmed. What I want to do is buy the BEST TV I...

Hi all - I've got two DSR6000s, but we're adding another room, so I need to pick up a third. If you've got one you're looking to move, please contact me and let's see what we can work out. Thank you.

Would appreciate any help on this front. Building a second system in our basement, and will have DTV or DTivo (both with only optical out) as well as my older Sony DVD player (optical out, only)... so I need two optical slots. Would prefer at least two (three prefered) S-video inputs as well.

Hi all - Redoing the basement, and as long as we've got the walls open, I'd like to wire it for a basic HT system. Finances are tight enough on the project, so I don't want to go crazy, but I also don't want to put real crud down there. Was looking at a few packages at Cambridge...

This is a weird one. Our 5-6 year old Hitachi 27-inch TV just turned off all of the sudden this morning... and will not turn back on. This happened about six weeks ago. I couldn't figure it out. Tried everything. Unplugged it... Changed outlets. Tested the outlet, etc etc. Nothing. So...

We've got some home movies which are fading fast, and my wife asked if it were possible to convert to DVD. I told her that I'm sure it is, but hadn't heard of anyone reliable who can do it. Any suggestions or references out there? I found this link...

Hi all - Here's a great one. I've got this 300+ CD Tower for sale/trade. I've had it for a few years, and originally paid (I think! $225 for it). It's around 6' tall, and has soft lined slots for CDs. Towards the middle and at the bottom of each of the three columns are double slots for 2-CD...

Hi all - Patiently waiting for my Phillips DirecTivo to be delivered (UPS tracking says Friday!). Phillips has a $100 rebate on the units through the end of September, and I got it for $159... so what a deal! Just thought I'd check in with my HTF friends to see who's really glad to have their...

I'm in a dealin' mood, so make some offers. Preference is for sealed titles, or newer titles (both is great too!). I'm a GOLD TRADER at DVDTalk.com and ship everything 2-day USPS with delivery confirmation. Would appreciate the same. Here's the updated list: Almost Famous Analyze This...

This rack has been in my basement for the past few months since I got my 400 CD jukebox, so I'd like to move it to someone else. I'm located in Shrewsbury, MA, and it would definitely have to be a "pick up" situation. It's about 5'8" tall, has a walnut-wood finish, and the slots themselves are...
