Armin, I am a DirecTV user and own a JVC SVHS recorder. I have the second setup you describe -- sat to vcr using S-video then to my TV using S-video and I get a great picture and great recordings -- even when I am just recording in VHS (instead of SVHS). The only slight drawback is that you...

Thanks, Andrea! (I hope Mike doesn't mind sharing his hugs.:D ) And Mike, thanks for the link to your Best Buy saga. I actually followed your quest for preferred customer status for many months. Deborah

Well, at least you didn't get that insulting invitation to spend $200 that Carlo got! I guess Mike and Malcolm are correct -- there is just no rhyme or reason to any of this. And I usually get those "Preferred Customer" weekend coupons in the mail and this time I got nothing. I sure could use...

I finally caught up with this on my TiVo. I have to confess that I find it very entertaining, if a bit predictable -- at least so far. I am a lot more interested in the personal, practical, and social problems the characters face as a result of having had various lengths of time pass since...

I see two potential hurdles: 1. Will they accept the coupon in the store when you try to renew; 2. will people who are using someone else's coupon to renew actually ever get the two promised certs. There could be some checking before the certs are mailed -- especially is they get flooded with...

It is possible that the UPC code goes with the offer and not with the account -- I did wonder if that might not be the case. I guess we will not know for sure until someone tries it. Don't you think it's odd, however, that you did not receive any offer to entice you to re-up? Seems to me that...

Hi, Carlo, I guess it is worth a try. But might not the UPC code on the cert be tied to her account? For what it is worth, the UPC on the offer I got was different. Deborah

Okay, I went back and checked the RZ renewal offer I got by e-mail from Best Buy. They offered me three months free if I renewed by 7/14 -- not a very impressive offer, so I passed. Also, the bar code on my cert was most definitely different than the one on Andrea's cert. So, it looks like...

Yes, California was a test market for RZ -- this will be my third year if I renew. The first two years were free. I looked over Andrea's printed cert more carefully, and think that it probably is specific to her, because it mentions how much she earned in certs over the last year. I only...

Thanks, Andrea! I, too, expire on 7/31. I was not going to renew it this year, but all of a sudden I need to buy a new television for my mother's house, and so it seems worth it. I am going to do this on Saturday, so hopefully this will work. Deborah

Dave, Thanks for the suggestion. If you think that is a safe thing to do, I will go ahead and do it. It is, in fact, how ten years ago I got the one that is now on the fritz. I really thought that television should have lasted longer than it has, but I guess maybe ten years is not such a bad...

This seems so out of place in a forum with such great discussions of high end displays, but I am stuck. My very edlerly and infirmed mother is still living at home with 24 hour a day care givers, and the television the caregivers use has gone on the fritz. The current set is a 25" Magnavox...

Kevin -- now that you have finished season two, go back to "When She Was Bad," the season two premiere, and watch it again. It is amazing how the events of the whole second season are pretty much layed out in this opening episode, something one can't really appreciate until you have seen it all...

Andy, Thanks for the reply. Too bad about the restoration videos being out of print -- bummer. I wonder if we will see any of the kinds of DVDs you suggested. It seems to me that they would sell well, but with Stewart's current woes,they might be reluctant to launch anything of this...

I would definitely be interested in some themed DVDs from MS. BTW, are the home restoration videos still available at K-Mart? Are these just tapes, or are DVDs available? Thanks, Deborah

I really restarined myself on this one. There were a bunch of things I could have ordered, but I did not want to over indulge in a buying frenzy, just because there was a sale. (It is so easy to do this!) I thought about what to buy all week and finally pared it down to one TV on DVD set...

I have been wondering about this one also. I think someone asked about it at the last Fox chat and Peter (can't think of his last name) said he was not familiar with the title. Anyone out there know anything about the status of this series for DVD?? Thanks, Deborah

I don't understand the whole no booklets in the Canadian releases thing. What could the rationale possibly be for not including these booklets? Is it an issue of having to provide the info in both English and French and not wanting to spend the money? It just seems downright weird. Deborah

Thanks, Jason. Deborah

Hi, Jason, Is there any expiration date on the tickets, or any specific time frame in which they must be used -- except for the fact that they cannot be used on weekends? If they are open ended, then this is a very good deal, indeed. Thanks, Deborah

I am not sure that this particular version of PTO is the one I would chose to promote with Andrew Lloyd Webber film. The musical (like the original book) is more romance than horror and the Englund Phantom is basically horror/slasher in genre. I, too, wish the Hammer (Herbert Lom) version...

How true this is! But when you have a good show and good marketing sometimes the show has a chance. Deborah

Wow, Jack -- what a generous offer! I am assuming that this is not commercially available? I will pop you an e-mail in the next few days and maybe we can work something out. I will take very good care, I promise! Thanks muchos, Deborah

Make that two. And I also enthusiatically watch a lot of the other shows that Jonathan calls crap, but hey -- different stokes for different folks, right? And I really did love BUFFY and ANGEL most of all. Honest! ;) I can honestly say, however, that I have never watched a reality show...

Is the Maxamillian Schell version available in any format? I have been looking for this one for quite a long time. Thanks if you know, Deborah

The most amazing thing to me is that with all the increased numbers of cable channels and a seemingly ever expanding number of options "out there," there is still a large homogenizing, lowest common denominator quality to television in general. It seems quite remarkable that with all the niche...

I think there is another, slightly different dimension to this message as well, which was made overt in ANGEL and was implied in BUFFY: Evil is a boring and grindingly persistent force in the world. While Evil will never be completely conquered, it can be beaten back -- partly with the help of...

For some reason, my subscription to this thread keeps getting cancelled. So until today, I hadn't seen any postings since last week. A belated thanks to all of you who answered my questions about last weeks episode. I am really ooking forward to ANGEL tonight, albeit sadly. Sigh. Deborah...

They make me feel squirmy, too, which is why I find it so painful to even look at Illyria's face and to even think there might be something actually in her eyes making Acker look this way. Those must be some contacts to make her look so bug-eyed! You know, when you think about some of the things...

I do hope they address the Shanshu Prophecy thing at least, since they have made such a big deal of it. Of course, they may have thought that they were going to get another season when they brought it up again vis a vis Spike versus Angel. In recent weeks, this has pretty much faded away. On...
