    If I cancel DISH, do I get to keep the HDDVR?

    Hey all, I'm going to post this in multiple places to make sure it gets view by the right group. I hope that's OK. My wife and I switched to the DISH Network from Direct TV back in November and got HD. We've since decided that the monthly cost is more than we want to pay, and that we just...

    FS: Star Wars Definitive & THX Laserdiscs

    Hey all, I'm selling my Star Wars Definitive Laserdisc collection. Before I put it up on eBay, I thought I'd give first dibs here. I am including the THX Wow! laser disc, as well as a Pioneer CLD-S201 laserdisc player with remote. Unfortunately, this is the set without Leia welding, and the...

    Any experience with DVD mega-changers?

    I'm looking into getting a Sony DVP-CX985v 400-disc changer. I like the idea of not having to touch the discs (kids). I just wanted to know what your opinions were, even in regards to CD mega-changers. Any input would be appreciated. Joey

    Sony's KP57HW40 vs. KP57WS500

    Quick question for you, My Father-in-law is looking at buy a new TV (His old one died so this is a good time). While we've been comparing, we were looking at TVs at Best Buy. The one he liked best was the 57 inch Sony. It was selling for $2799.99. When we got home, I was looking on Sony's...

    Watching Movies in Mono

    A thread in the software forum reminded me to ask this question. I have a Yamaha RXV-800, when I watch a movie that is encoded in Mono, it still defaults to Pro-Logic. How do you guys watch mono movies, and is there a setting or way to listen to the source exactly as encoded without processing...

    I'm fairly new to the Laserdisc world and am wondering what would cause Blue specks on the picture when watching a disc. Anyone know? Is this "laser rot?" Thanks

    Skip the theater, Get the DVD?

    Has anyone else here (I'm sure there's a few :D ) skipped a movie in the theater that they really wanted to see, specifically to wait for the DVD? In my case, I'm dying to see Spider-Man, but my wife and I decided to wait for the DVD. Since we know we'll both love it and want to buy it anyway...

    Echoing on Pro-Logic sources?

    Sometimes when watching a Stereo source (DSS or 2.0 DVD) there will be a very strong echo. I have a Yamaha RX-V800. It's usually random and sometimes, like tonight watching Enterprise, only lasts for a few seconds, then returns to normal. Does anyone know what causes this?

    Using Boston Acustics with no sub?

    I'm trying to help my uncle build a HT. We were looking at getting a fairly inexpensive Package deal (Yamaha reciever, velodyne spks and sub). But then went to The Good Guys and the salesman had him drooling over some BA tower speakers. I can't remember the model number but they each had a 10"...
