    A Mighty Wind (2003)

    Man, I can't wait to see this movie, hoping to go this weekend, I loved Waiting for Guffman and Best In Show. Does Parker Posey have a good roll in this one?

    Boomtown - thoughts?

    I thought the show was good. They had interesting characters and Donny Walhberg actually impressed me with his acting. The only character the I'm not to sure about was the DA, I think that was who he was, but I think that was the point, to show he was a sleaze ball, but at the end he sort of...

    The worst commercials

    I can't stand the new sprite commerical with that "band" playing and the hard rocker singing the song and everyone faking that they are playing to the music. The only problem is that the music sounds like they ripped the music track off of a synthesizer from nsynce. If your going to have a band...

    HD ED and thoughts of the season premiere

    I love the show ed, and thought it was going to be in HD, does anyone know what they showed that in, it looked to me to be in 480P maybe. I was hoping it would be in 1080I so I could watch carol vessy in all her glory. Also, NBC OTA here in Springfield was going in and out of sync with the...

    Cox HDTV in Fairfax VA

    Roberto, you are very lucky then. I have been dealing with them and their upgrade and have had nothing but troubles. Not to mention no digital cable. Media General never gave me any troubles then again, we never had to do any upgrades with them. I think its funny that they say no price upgrades...

    C.S.I. Miama - good move, or striking the anvil too soon?

    I could only stomach this god awful show for the first 30 minutes. I think it really sucked, the acting was awful, whats with caruso named heratio(SP?) Did he pick his own name for this crap? While the HD was great that was the only thing keeping me going. Once they got that dead women to the...

    Cox HDTV in Fairfax VA

    Have you guys dealt with Cox before? No way this will happen till 2006 at the earliest. This is the crappiest company I've ever dealt with in my life. I bet when they get this installed that it'll have about 20% reliability rate. Who lays their cable? My basic analog cable doesn't even work well...

    Yamaha DSP

    Well I spent most of last night going through my classical cd's and switching between dsp's and normal stereo. My conclusion, it all depends on the recording. So now I can understand that there is a point to them. I'm new to the world of Yammaha DSP's and its vastly superior to my old JVC and...

    Yamaha DSP

    The jazz club I can see, it sounds really good. I've never tried any chant cd's, but normal stuff in the church hall settings sound like an over echoed church hall, not sure that it would be that great, I'm basing this off of no experience so its only speculation. Having just got this reciever...

    Yamaha DSP

    I think all their dsp's sound like they are labeled, jazz club sounds like a jazz club, church hall sounds like a church hall. But I guess I'm missing the point of these. When exactly would you ever want to listen to anything in a church hall mode. Unless you are some very religous person who...

    Mits 55859? Rainbow from the guns on Screen

    I get this sometimes as well, I think it has something to do with the dvd player not outputting the progressive scan signal in time or something. I've noticed it only happened when I first turn on the dvd player and the tv and the tv input is set to dvd. I've never had it happen with the antenna...

    Movies that really strain credibility.

    In Deep Impact, Frodo was able to ride his moped from VA Beach to I believe Colorado on a tank of gas and out race a flood to the top of a mountain all in one day. I got to get me one of those bikes.

    DSP's

    Do you use the DSP's on your reciever or do you go with the straight decoder?

    Picked up the Yamaha 1300!!!

    Kevin, I'm not quite sure, I don't have a rear speaker yet so I'm not sure, from what I gather from the manual and using the onscreen display, you can easily turn off the center rear anytime you want. So if those DSP's do send it to that speaker, and the sound field collapses, you can turn it...

    Picked up the Yamaha 1300!!!

    I picked it up for 799 at tweeter, thats the price I've seen everywhere. I owned a JVC 1080 I think, it had this annoying hiss when there was silence, I put up with it for about 2 years now, so it was a nice upgrade, I looked at the denon 3802 and the harman kardon 520, I'm not really sure why I...

    Picked up the Yamaha 1300!!!

    I guess I'm a believer now in receivers making a difference, I picked up a Yamaha 1300 yesterday was watching movies and listening to music and man, the thing kept getting louder and louder, and more clear as the night went on, is this what you all mean by breakin, I had it -30db to start and by...

    Toshiba 4800 owners questions....

    Any other 4800 owners, I had one unit that broke on me after a couple of days, while using it I noticed some movies had the menus messed up. The roll over effect wouldn't line up right, returned it got a new one, works better, but some movies still have the menu bug i saw with the first one...

    Help me decide between a HK 520 and a Yamaha 1300

    I guess from these post, I can't go wrong. Uggg, this is tough, I'm now leaning more towards the HK, I don't really know why, but I have to lean towards one or the other right? Thanks for the input everyone, I think I might get this during lunch.

    Help me decide between a HK 520 and a Yamaha 1300

    Now both of these seem like great recievers for roughly the same price. Which one would you go with, I've listened to them both and they both sound great. I'm using Polk RT600's for the front polk fx300 for the rear, polk 245 for the center and the SVS 16-48pci for my sub. Anyone have experience...

    Mitsu Rant

    I'm not positive about your set, but most mits. have a way to reset where the factory levels are set. So when you hit reset, the controls go to the middle and these are your actual settings. Its in the service menu, check out hometheaterspot for info, they have a huge section on mitsubishi...

    Question for Polk owners: RTI** or RT**i

    I have the RT600i's and I love them. Don't know about the new ones, but I'm happy with the old ones just fine. I just got a svs 16-48pci and it really completes the sound field, I know they were lacking the low end but sounded great to me in the mids to highs. Make sure you have a sub to go with...

    Yamaha 1300

    Does anyone know if this is out or when its coming out? According to the Yamaha Web Site , it looks to be a pretty sweet reciever for a good price. Thanks John

    Conan O'Brien

    I love conan, I'm a die hard letterman fan as well, I think the two are way better than leno. Any comedian that has to explain his jokes after he's done, is just annoying to me. I haven't watched him in a couple of years, is he still doing the same bill and hilary jokes that got old before his...

    [SIZE=2]Man, Michael, you are always on these boards and help everyone out, thanks. Funny you put that up there today and I ask this question. I hadn't gotten around to checking out the heohihdtv site yet today. Oh well, back to the issue you say:

    Decision & Question Between Tosh and Mits

    I'll be getting an wide screen tv probably in September and have narrowed it down to either the Toshiba 57, I think I'll wait for the 57HDX82 or the Mitsubishi 55819. I was doing a comparisons on this website: ecoustics.com comparision and noticed that the toshiba's progressive scan is 540...

    Anyone tried those personal video goggles?

    I think it was the sony one that I tried, I don't know if I have a big head or something, but it was actually quite uncomfortable to wear. The picture was too weird, it looks like it should be a big screen in front of your eyes, but it really does end up looking like a 1 inch screen half an inch...

    *** Official 2002 Major League Baseball Season Thread

    I blame interleague play, with that crap, all of baseball has gone down. For me, the All-Star Game was a precursor to the World Series where I could find out if my beloved american league would beat the crappy national league, thats what I loved to watch, which league was better, I was always...
