I am looking for an inexpensive BDP. The model #s are Magnavox NB530MGX and the Insignia is NS-BDLIVE01. I believe they are clones of one another. Whichever is available at the low low price of $99 will be my choice. Unless you convince me otherwise. I will be using it in my small bedroom...

I had an HTPC attached to my RPTV and rez was set to 540p to play back dvds. I know it is a 1080i display but the hometheaterspot and htforum members suggested that the set can handle 540p. But the years of 540p playback has taken its toll. Now my display looks like an hour glass and the edges...

Would really like the bundle system w/HD cables. Will consider core system. Please email me with equipment list and asking price. Thanks, Allen :)

Hi all. I'm getting ready to buy a 2003 Z71 Silverado from a GM dealer. It has a lift so I know GM will not warranty the vehicle. Now I'm looking into aftermarket warranty. I've never bought an aftermarket warranty so I don't have much experience with such companies. If you have any opinions and...

I want to replace my son's XBOX. If you don't have power or video cables, that's fine. If you have wireless controller, you'll have a sale. Please PM me. Thanks

Here's one for archiving! Just in case you haven't checked your regular HD programming, Pleasantville is on HD tonight at 8 PM on ABC. Cross your fingers we don't get any audio pops.

There were some scenes w/noticeable grain. Besides that minor...pest, the movie looked great!!! Kepp em' comin' CBS! :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: :star: :star: :star: :star: :star:

Bought the EC for $1100 a few years ago from Al's Woodcraft, a local furniture store that specializes in handcrafted home furniture and decorations. It's been sitting in the garage covered by the box my HDTV came in. It's 100% pine w/a honey pine finish. Better to send you a pic than describe it...

Decided to sell today and stick w/MyHD OTA. I don't need a second HD receiver. I have a Proscan PSHD105 w/OBM and remote. I'll combine it with whatever connection you need. If you have YPrPb then I'll send you an Audio Authority VGA to component transcoder. (You supply the component cables.) If...

I don't know much about them. I was thinking of getting DirecTV for HDNet, HBO/SHO-HD and wanted to make sure I have the right card. So I pulled the access card out of my ProScan PSHD105 for the first time and I was wondering if you can tell me anything about it. On the front you see a...

the 120GXP is only giving me 32Gig!?!?! It should be around 123! Here's what I did to install it: I installed the HDD to my HTPC as secondary master, ran fdisk, I enabled large disk support (FAT 32), selected secondary fixed disk, created Primary DOS Partition, selected yes to allocate maximum...

I've tried deleting partitions w/fdisk to reformat and start from scratch. I can only delete primary partition, not secondary where 2k resides in. I've had to do a clean install 2x now due to corrupt boot files w/W2K. Yeah I know I should have created rescue disks but what good is 2k when I have...

My main reason for jumping on the XP bandwagon is to add a MyHD MDP-100 HD recorder. (ME has to go!) Don't know what advantages the Pro has over the Home edition so I thought I'd ask. At this point, the only difference I see between the two is the price tag. :b

Don't know much about the IBM. Both drives sell for $159 right now, but the IBM has 40 gigs more! Great for recording HDTV. That's at least 4+ hrs. extra of HD stored in the HTPC. The SB is known for being quiet. But my Tosh SDM1402B DVD ROM is so noisy that using the SB would be moot when...

How do I verify if, what I think is the TCP IP# (12 digits), is a valid one or a hacker? NPF has reported I've had 8 intrusion attempts and it also shows the most frequent attacker's IP#. Is there a website I can go to or should my ISP help me out on this one? (I had 8 different viruses and had...

Anyone near me in Anaheim attending WSR's DDMF Event? If you want to carpool, shoot me an email. I'll periodically check this thread as well. I'll be going to Session 5, Sunday, june 9th at 2-5 PM.

I'll be attending my first job fair, ever. (Semiconductor is really slow for a Test Tech right now.) I'm not sure what to bring besides myself and several copies of my resume. What else do I need to prepare for a job fair and what's in store for me (besides thankless jobs)? ;)

Was I the only one that watched this? :) I really enjoyed the episode. Good to see the CSI crew working a case outside their state. The slight, short lived attraction between Catherine Willows and the Miami CSI Horatio Caine was sad in a way. An opportunity for both unexplored. I would...

The wife opened an email and opened the attachment and now the computer freezes up. All I get is a desktop with an hourglass. I can't even boot up in safe mode. What do you suggest I do? Can I make the drive a slave on another pc and run a virus checker on it w/o corrupting the other PC? I'm...

Anyone use K-Tech cables?

I'll take $650, includes delivery, cashiers check or money order only. I lost the manual but I can print one out from Onkyo's WEB SITE if you want one. If you live around Anaheim, CA. I'll hand deliver it and set it up for you using AVIA and an SPL meter. You can find specs for the 787 HERE. Or...

I've had the unit for 6 months. Used it only half the time. It's in new condition. I'm selling so I can purchase/trade for a JVC D-Theater player. It's a great receiver. I'd hate to see it go but I have several AVRs in the garage I can use instead. I'll take $960, includes ground shipping...

I've been playing Half-Life Blue Shift and I'm about to hurl! These PC games should be sold with motion sickness meds. Time for a small break, I think...

I have two machines: main PC has Athlon 1GHz, 256MB DDR, and GeForce2GTS; and an HTPC which has PIII 800MHz, 256MB PC133, and a Radeon LE 32MB DDR connected to a WS-65807. Any games that support 16x9 resolution would be a plus. I've been mainly a console gamer but now would like to try some PC...

I've tried signing on and off several times today and the Software Forum won't refresh for me. :angry: All others are fine. Please help me!

software forum is not refreshing. last post is from me last night. ?????

I bought my first PC mag, Feb issue of CPU, and would like your opinion on other mags before I subscribe to CPU. It's the only one I've really looked into. What PC mags cater to beginner/intermediate user/builder? Is there one that has a focus on AMD cpus, tweaks, useful tips and tricks? I might...

I'm looking to add a DVD player and an LCD screen, maybe 7-10", to the family van for those long drives on family trips. It's a Dodge Grand Caravan. The audio system in it is great, IMO. (10 speaker layout by Infinity) What features do I need to look for? What brand/model? I'm not interested in...

I was reading CPU mags Feb issue. In the Hard Hat Area, p.36, they had a PC challenge. The challenge was to build a SOHO PC for under $1500. One of the builders chose a RADEON VE for a dual display/crt setup. The mag even has a pic of all the hardware assembled using 2 Samtron monitors...

99.99% of my hardware (3 PCs) are bought via the internet. I neglected to order an IDE and CD-ROM audio cable for the OEM drives I ordered on-line. *DOH!* So I think to myself "Self, just go down to Comp USA for the cables. It's right around the corner and I'm sure they'll have plenty in stock."...
