I don't know if this is news anyone cares about here, or if this news is not something already known. But at a departmental meeting I heard there are officially plans now for a network to switch both their 24 news network and their 24 hour business news network to hd next year. Obviously I'm...

I think the topic is self explanatory, but I will elaborate anyway. Because of my work schedule, I am not in my car when Stern is live. I just recently got a Sirius reciever and I was shocked at how little the actuall Stern show is replayed. I mean with two channels to program I can't believe...

I listen to mostly rock, and while I love my Roady2 I feel like I am not getting what I want on XM. I guess I am posting my situation to see if you guys can talk me out of becoming a dual subscriber. (I love enough about XM that I can't get rid of it) I listen mostly to harder edged classics...

Hi, I am a fairly happy XM subscriber. I love O&A, hate Stern, and love XM's alt rock channels. However the music I listen to the most is classic rock and hard rock, even a little hair metal when I am in a cheesy mood. I find XM's offerings in these areas too schizophrenic or too obscure...

Did anyone else in the ny area notice that krock changed its format from alt rock to "all rock". To be honest I kind of like the new format, but so far I havent really heard much from new bands I enjoy like the Killers and Franz Ferdinand, despite the fact that they are still supposed to play...

I didnt see a thread dedicated to this movie, so I figured I would go ahead and start one. For those that dont know, this is a french horror film about 2 years old that is going to be released soon in the US under the title High Tension. It is supposedly extremely gory and cannot be...

I heard this was pretty good, and wanted to pick it up. I see its going to get an american release, but I believe Lions Gate has it, so there release probably will be cut down to get an R. Anyway, I read the french version has no english subs. There is a korean version but it is non...

http://www.dvdfile.com/software/dvd-...005/02_28.html According to dvdfile there will be both a Criterion 2 disc version and a single disc version. I hope they let Criterion do the transfer on this as I have not bought a disney release with a decent transfer in the last 2 years. Whats...

I have the current release, which is non anamorphic, and was wondering if there has ever been a mention of a new edition. I searched and didnt find any info, but was wondering if anyone had heard anything. This would seem like a no brainer to release an updated disc. It was nominated for...

My cable system is adding Showtime soon, and I was considering subscribing only because they will be making the HiDef Showtime channel available. I currently subscribe to HBO, and was excited when I learned they added it to the lineup in HD, but was severely disappointed when I saw that so...

I was just curious if anyone else had run into this problem. Anyway, I was excited because my cable company finally told me I could get and hd box from them. I rented the box and sprung for their hd programming package. The image quality is stunning, but I was quite disappointed to see...

I was on the fence about going hd for awhile because my display although hd ready did not display the full hd resoluton ( I have the infocus x1 ). Well I recently got an hd box from my cable company and the quality blows dvd away on my display. As near as I can tell it looks the same quality...

I was trying to run the hd version of t2 from the extreme edition on my computer and it wont load. First when I tried to run it it told me I needed to upgrade to windows media player 9( I have wmp 10). I checked the interactual site, and they had a patch specifically for t2 with wmp10...

My cable company finally started offering hd and I picked up the new box this morning, a motorola dct 6200. They wanted around $40 to install it, and after a little bit of argument they let me pick it up to install myself. I wanted to hook it up to my projector which through the component...

Last spring there were press releases stating that hotmail accounts would be bumped up to 200 mb. Then in the summer they said it would be done by fall. Well we are into November now and I am still at 2mb. I read in a couple messageboards that people had their inbox size increased, but havent...

I hope this is the right forum for this subject, I wasnt sure where this belongs. People have been demanding to see some kind of release of the E show unncensored for awhile now, and Howard announced it on the show this week. Select episodes are available as downloads. 1 part episodes...

I am not sure how to explain this problem so I'll try to be as descriptive as possible. Some video clips, labeled with the mpg extension, will not allow me to move forward through the clip, and often get hung up on a video frame, though continue to play the audio. It will display the...

I would appreciate any help, cause I have never had this problem before. My system I put together a year ago has been having problems for awhile, many of which I have been ignoring. The first was the onboard LAN stopped working. I had to disable it in the mb bios, and use an old network card...

As a person with a large screen FP display the region one release is near unwatchable at times. I know Bjoern had posted pics on his site a while back showing that the R2 PAL version was a decent improvement, but besides the PAL speedup issue, PAL just does not look as sharp on my current setup...

I currently use my x1 for only dvd viewing through my liteon 2001, but have heard many people comment that over the air hd content looks great on it, even though it cant display true hd resolution. I was thinking about acquiring a dvhs player and a couple movies to use with the x1, since...

I was thinking about using my x1(flashed to 4800)for and outdoor showing at a barbecue at my house. I was thinking of just using a bedsheet and hooking up just basic stereo sound using an old reciever and my front mains. Has anyone tried this before and if so could you offer tips. I know...

I thought I would chime in here about my experience with my brand new x1. I know there are already tons of threads but I thought my experience might be of interest to someone with limited amounts of space and money. Before a few of months ago I would not have believed I could add FP to my...

I recently figured out how to get into the service menu for my rca tv, model # f31317. I was able to change p11 to 53 to do the anamorphic squeeze trick and also changed p6 and p7 to correct the fishbowl effect that occured when I squeezed the image. I was wondering if someone with knowledge of...

I recently setup a wireless network using a belkin router. I have a one way cable modem service and the modem is programmed to disconnect after 2 hours of inactivity. To reconnect you have to use IE to access the modem and manually tell it to connect. Since I added the router I am unable to...

Hi, I just put together a new pc with a dvd burner. I decided to also add a winfast 200xp tv tuner card so I could capture my laserdisc collection and burn it to dvd. After toying around with the tuner card I discovered it makes a decent digital video recorder with similar functions to a tivo. I...

My cable company, Service Electric of Sparta, in the sticks of northern nj has finally started offering broadband internet service through Prolog. Unfortunately right now and for the forseable future they are only setup to offer one way service. I don't know anyone who has used a one way cable...

Did anyone else watch this tonight? After 24 I started craving a new episode of the Shield but I found this to be a good substitute. I did find it odd that it was only a half hour but I guess they are pushing this more as comedy than drama.

Does anyone know if this is still airing live tonight? Most of the networks seem to have returned to normally scheduled programming but ABC right now is still airing war coverage. I was looking forward to watching tonight because Slash is scheduled to be the guest host for the week and I am a...

I mentioned in the "Shield Season 2 Premiere" thread in the TV forum that perhaps the title was part of the reason for lack of activity in the thread and so the title should be changed to a more general one for ongoing discussion. I think if one of the mods changed the title there would be more...

On another forum someone said Electronic Boutique's website was selling Unreal for 24.99 because they overstocked the title. I checked it out and sure enough it was there. So I went to my local EB and they were also selling it at that price plus they were selling it used for 19.99 which I picked...
