We are putting together a low-budget DVD as promotional item; we plan to get about 1000 copies professional replicated and all that, so we want it to look decent on TVs and computers alike. So far, we've had nothing but quality problems. Our source video was all shot using a Canon XL1...

I didn't notice too much of a change from previous years' Enterprise. Same suspect writing, same not-quite-Trek feel, and so on and so on. The only real difference is the story, which, as others have mentioned, really doesn't make sense. The Enterprise is the Earth's last hope? In fact, there is...

Hmm... I don't think there is any sort of grounding wire coming off of the dish. I watched the technician install everything (been about a month now) and I didn't see anything like that. Is there a particular place on the dish it might come from? Do I not need anything between the air...

I have the following setup and was wondering where I might need to add ground wires to it, and to see if there is some good information anywhere relating to the mechanics of grounding and why it is necessary (not my area of expertise!) I have a DTV multi-satellite dish and an over-the-air...

Yea, it's definitely a money thing. I'm sure they would be open to having Katey back. As for Billy West and John DiMaggio, both seemed extremely excited at the prospect (I seem to remember DiMaggio standing up on his chair and yelling "Hell yea!" at the prospect). There are a *lot* of...

I sat in on both the Futurama and Adult Swim panels at the San Diego Comic Con this year. Both were well attended, each with at least a couple thousand fans. The Adult Swim production crew admitted that their main focus at the moment is trying to figure out a way to produce new episodes of...

Like most of what MTV does, they do it to make it seem more "cool" in the eyes of those who watch it most. I don't think the complaints really bother them if they are not in the 12-19 age group. And yea, I'm not a big fan of it. Sure doesn't make it seem live, that's for sure!

It figures that as soon as I got my over-the-air antenna up and running, Charter would add HD service! I doubt their digital box will include any sort of a component input to use as a switcher. The equipment I've gotten on loan from Charter in the past has been pretty substandard -- but that...

The 3000's sell new for around $240 (as far as I can tell) so I'm thinking $160-$180, depending on the condition and how old it is. Although, feel free to make any offer.

Hi, I am looking to buy either a ProntoPro (Philips TSU-6000) or a Pronto NG (Philips TSU-3000). I would prefer the Pro but if I could find a used NG I would like to mess around with it. Post or PM me if you have one. Would consider a Marantz RC9200 as well, though I doubt I'd find...

I thought the Season 2 finale was pretty decent. It did feel very rushed, but I'll take that over the slow-moving feel of many of the other Enterprise episodes. I saw it mentioned that this would alienate the rest of the "real" Trek fans, which I think is kind of funny. I don't think I've...

In one of the vBulletin hacks installed here, I just (somehow) noticed a bug. On the Total Time Online page here: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...fo=view_leader The links to click on the users' names on the left are missing the sessionhash data. It looks like the PHP code is missing the...

On the other hand, wouldn't the potential DVD revenues factor in to their decision? It almost seems like the show was made to be a TV-to-DVD deal. I think the first season of 24 was popular enough that even without syndication, the DVD sales will bring in a sizable chunk of change.

Not only do I like Enterprise, but I even like the opening credits. I loved TNG and DS9 but gave up on Voyager early on, and every time I came back just made me hate it more. Aside from some really campy/corny dialogue, and the fact that Archer is made out to be a complete buffoon, I think...

Thanks for the input guys, you've all given me plenty to think about it. I would like to get a newer/better receiver, although I haven't done any receiver shopping lately so I might have a look at a few of those to see what my options are. I kind of promised myself at last year's CES that the...

Gabriel_Lam (and others): Budget is not a big deal for me (well, within reason; around or under $200 is fine, a bit more I might think about it). I have dealt with shadowing and whatnot from a low-quality A/V switch for a while now, and I never bothered with a new one because I knew that sooner...

This was definitely the best of the various 9/11 spots I saw. According to Verizon's web site, the female vocalist is somebody by the name of Jewl Anguay, along with Josh Groban. Not sure if anybody remembers, but Groban and Charlotte Church sang the same song (The Prayer) at the closing...

I'm partial to the Panasonic 53WX42, for the price. I couldn't find another TV that I liked that still fell under $2K. They are on dealer floors for between $1700-1800 right now (maybe less if you find the right dealer), and with a little (maybe a lot) of tweaking they look great. If you want...

I just picked up a new Panasonic 53WX42 (hooray!) and now I'm thinking about what it's going to take to get all my goodies plugged up the way I want them. Specifically, I'm going to have 3 component video sources (DVD, PS2, X-Box) with only 2 CV inputs on the TV. My receiver, an older Pioneer...

The only place the episode had aired before last week was at the San Diego ComiCon last year during Matt Groening's Futurama panel discussion. I thought it was quite funny the first time and just as funny the second. But I can definitely see where the censors had a problem with it --...

I thought this week's episode was pretty good. Time travel storyline aside, I am glad that the series is going in the direction of an actual villain with an actual "war" going on... leading to what may be, for the first time since DS9, an actual PLOT in a Star Trek series. I hope they revisit...

I was under the impression that the season premiere of Futurama was scheduled for December 9th (next Sunday). As for the pre-empted episodes, FOX does plan on showing them. In fact, about five or six episodes from Futurama's Season 3 (last season) will be shown periodically throughout this...

I was thinking that Enterprise was great until I saw last week's episode. Three episodes in to the series and they are already resorting to the "crew hallucination" plot lines? Uggh. I can't believe they ran out of original ideas after two whole episodes. Still, the show has a lot of...

I can actually (sort of) see why they would not show #6, though I do hope they air it at some point. The episode is called Sympathy for the Devil and centers around a child musician who seems to have been alive for centuries. Enter Spike & co. to discover the truth... There are scenes in the...

According to Bandai (the owners of Bebop and the Gundam series') the shows were indeed pulled from Cartoon Network as a result of the terrorist attacks. However, both should return to the CN lineup sometime in early October, if not sooner (once again, from Bandai). I saw a promo for Bebop...
