    The Office (US) Season 2

    So far, this new season has kept me laughing. Hopefully they can keep it up for the rest of the season. Does anyone know how long this season will be? I haven't heard if NBC ordered a full season or not...

    Harmony Remotes: Are they all THAT?!

    Anyone using one of these with a HTPC system? I'm currently using MythTV and my old series one Tivo remote, and while it works, I'd like to have more buttons and the ability to control everything with one remote. I'm assuming that I'd have to map buttons manually to match the commands sent to...

    Has www.dvdangle.com gone under?

    I, too, am sad to see that this site has finally gone under. A couple years back now, I was fortunate to meet Dennis Burger (VP) at a conference held by Dolby Labs in San Francisco. We talked a lot over the couple days we were there, and even did some sightseeing together since it was the first...

    What happened to DVDFile???

    I used to work on that website a long time ago. While I wasn't there when it went down, I believe the owner simply lost interest and didn't want to be bothered with it anymore.

    Your guess as to what tv show boxsets will come out in 2004...

    I had a feeling that the Malcolm delay was being caused by music rights. Hopefully it gets resolved soon enough.

    Thanks for the clarification David... I do hope Fox decides to release the next season of Malcolm in the Middle next year as well.

    Your guess as to what tv show boxsets will come out in 2004...

    I hope we start to see That '70s Show boxsets being released by Fox this year. And a couple more ER seasons would be nice as well (I know season 2 is coming Q1 of '04).

    Anybody have theJVC i'Art 48" RPTV?

    There are a couple reasons I went with this TV. First, I work at Best Buy, and get reasonable discounts on all of the projection TVs. I have been looking at all of them we carry for a couple months now, and I must say I have been most impressed with the picture quality of the JVC set. With every...

    Billy Madison SE?

    Both titles would be great as a special edition, but I too would really like to have Happy Gilmore in anamorphic OAR.

    Toronto or Windsor Paradigm prices...need help!

    There is no duty tax as long as the product was made in Canada. You can thank NAFTA for that one :).

    best dorm room tv

    Wow, the Sony 27" Wega must be a popular choice among college students, as I have one as well. It was a pain to move, but everyone knew where to go if they just wanted to sit back, drink a beer, and watch a DVD. I've since moved out of the dorms, and the 27" fills my apartment living room...

    Friends, season 2.....when?

    Same here, 1 or 2 more this year would be a great timetable, and won't spread my DVD budget too thin. Hopefully we'll be hearing an announcment from Warner in the next couple months.

    Getting Off Air HDTV In Toledo From Detroit

    I was wondering if anyone could tell me if an antenna in Toledo, Ohio would be able to pickup the standard HDTV signals being broadcast from the Detroit stations in Michigan. The local stations are dragging their feet, and I will be picking up a HDTV here in the near future. Detroit is about 60...

    Toronto Area - Discount on Paradigm Subs?

    If you're going to Windsor, visit Live Wire Audio (http://www.livewireaudio.com). I bought all of my Paradigms there, and their service can't be beat! Very knowledgable and excellent demo rooms to sample different speakers. There is a map on their website, and it isn't too difficult to get to if...

    Spy Game Dvd defective

    Has anyone experienced this problem with the Toshiba SD-4700? I haven't noticed any posts stating this unit exhibited this problem as of yet. Just wondering as I'm going to be buying one in the near future.

    X-Files Season 5 P&Scam

    I think, and hope, that this is a misprint. The following sentence just doesn't make any sense in that context. Whereas widescreen would be a first for the X-Files (and possibly all Fox TV sets)...

    Hotel California DVD-A release Date!

    I'm just about to turn 21, and while I do wish that newer musicians would start releasing some DVD-A titles (Nine Inch Nails on DVD-A would be amazing), I am very happy when I look at the coming months of releases. The big ones for me would include the two Eric Clapton albums (hopefully they'll...

    Studio Day 2001 DVD news

    While there isn't much from the DVD File report that excited me, the news from Paramount is definately reassuring. We'll finally get Beverly Hills Cop on DVD, as well as a special edition of both Top Gun and the Jack Ryan trilogy. All of these have definately been on my wishlist for some time...

    Paradigm Mini Monitor -vs- Monitor 3

    On my last trip up north into Canada, I was set to buy a pair of Monitor 3s for my fronts, and Minis for the rears (in addition to a CC-370 for the center channel). I demoed both the models, and found the Monitor 3s to sound a bit muddy when compared to the overall sound from the Mini Monitors...

    Thread on Replacement X-Files Cases

    Hey all, At tonight's Fox chat, I posted a question to Peter about getting a replacement X-Files Season 1 slipcase since I know mine and others have had problems with their original one falling apart. Those who bought the set when it originally came out received a less-than-sturdy slipcase...

    Fixing Burn-In on RPTV

    Thanks for all the advice; everyone seems to echo my initial reaction to getting the set home and seeing the problem. Looks like I'll be saving up for the new Toshiba 50", or perhaps the Panasonic 47" everyone has been talking about. Thanks again, Nate ------------------ Nate Thompson

    Fixing Burn-In on RPTV

    I'm not sure what kind it is... I wasn't aware that there were various kinds. What has happened is the grey bars that Toshiba uses to show regular 4x3 programs unstretched are now visible at all times, whether you are watching a 4x3 program or something in widescreen. When in 16x9 mode, there is...

    Fixing Burn-In on RPTV

    I was wondering if someone could give me an approximate cost for everything that I would need to fix a burn-in problem I have on a RPTV I recently purchased. It was as-is from the store, but the price was a real bargin (I guess I know why now). Anyways, I have the option of taking it back to the...

    Putting slab under sub?

    Would this also help keep the lower frequencies from transferring through the floor into rooms below? I live in an apartment and don't want to annoy the neighbors below me with a sub. Anyone know anything else that I could do to minimize noise/vibrations? ------------------ Nate Thompson
