    Buying an Sony LCD Display - Help w/ Canadian Retailers!!!

    Not sure if you are in the west or east.... If you're a westerner, check out Visions Electronics. They offer 24 months no interest, although there is an application fee to do this. EDIT: Just noticed you're in Quebec...nevermind :)

    Sony SXRD

    Hi All.... I just recently bought and then returned a Hitachi 55VG825 LCD RPTV. I really liked this particular set, but I just couldn't get past what I considered poor black level. I ended up bringing this TV back and exchanging it for a Sony 60" SXRD. I am much happier with this unit...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Herbie Fully Loaded

    Forgive my shameful request here.... I have a 9 year old daughter who is deep into Disney's online world called 'VMK'. She wants to buy this DVD simply for the VMK code that it apparently comes with. Would any of you who own this DVD, and have no use for it, be willing to email/pm your code...

    Cool Computer Cases?

    I'll second the vote for Lian Li. I bought a PC-61 (Black) yesterday and I am VERY impressed with it. It's well-built, lots of extra features...and it's beautiful! 2 thumbs up!

    Any houseplant experts here?

    Dave, as mentioned above, cut back on the watering. Allow your plants to dry out a bit more prior to watering. Any standing water in the pot base should be discarded after watering. I had the same thing happen to me, and it was a pain to get rid of these gnats. Nothing worse than eating dinner...

    what was I thinking?

    Great pictures..thanks for sharing. Keep us posted on your progress, as I'm interested in seeing how this turns out. I have a 1977 Chev 3/4 ton pickup that I've always wanted to rebuild and "spruce up". I'd like to get it into show condition if at all possible.

    CBC/Radio-Canada and SIRIUS Announce Venture To Bring Satellite Radio to Canadians

    While this seems to be great news for Canadians, does anyone know what the time frame is before we'll be able to subscribe? I have a 2003 Caravan with a Sirius ready head unit....I've toyed with the idea of subscribing through the grey market, but I've held off up until now. I would prefer to do...

    My personal Fitness, Diet and Nutrition Plan for losing fat and staying fit : )

    You have all inspired me to get off of my ass, and do something about my weight. I quit smoking about 6 months ago, and have packed on enough fat to tip the scales now at 218 lbs. If you were to look at John's before picture, thats me, with a little more "love handle" action going on. I am...

    Which minivan would you recommend?

    To those that haven't read the entire thread...Wade has purchased his minivan. No need to keep offering advice on what's good, and what isn't. It's fair to say that those of us that drive a minivan do so because we liked one thing or two about the model we bought. Enjoy what you have...I love...

    Which minivan would you recommend?

    Wade...enjoy your new van. We were also in the market for a new van and ended up buying a Grand Caravan ES. We test drove most of them and I was most impressed with the Dodge. The ES model is loaded, and has everything I could want....including a DVD/LCD package for the kids! The wife thinks...

    What did Santa bring you?

    I was pleasantly surprised to find a Marantz SR6300 receiver with my name on it. My initial impressions are very positive. It definitely has the edge over my Yamaha HTR-5170 in improved midrange and musical "details"...I'm hearing things in my CD's that I hadn't heard before. I want to spend a...

    1/18 Diecast Models

    The wife and I were at my Xmas party on the weekend which was held in Banff. Did the customary day of shopping, and found a neat little store that had wall-to-wall diecast model cars, trucks, etc. I must admit that I had never had any interest in these, but I now seem to be quite smitten with...

    Transworld Snowboarding...1080i?

    There are some that have apparently been able to find and pick up TWSB. I've read that this game apparently supports 1080i. Does anyone here know if this is actual fact? I would prefer to hear from somebody at the HTF to confirm this. Has anyone here played it yet? I've been reading good...

    Ron, Thank you for your well versed reply to my initial post. I, as well as the members of the HTF, truly thank you and Parker for all of your hard work. If your goal was to make this the absolute BEST Internet site for all things Home Theater, you both have succeeded. I do not have the...

    Does Ron have a life?

    Now, I do not mean this in a negative way. More out of concern actually. I am wondering whether or not Ron has interests or hobbies outside of the forum...it seems to me that it is all work and sleep for this man. I believe that he has full time work away from the forum. When that day ends it...
