I have a Sony XBR400 and I was wondering if anyone knew if it was possible to deactivate the progressive scan output of the DISH 811. The picture looks very blurry on my Sony and I think it is because the 811 doubles the horizontal lines on top of my TV line doubler doing the same thing.

I know I have seen someones theater construction pictures that showed how they built a room within a room. The walls and ceiling of the theater did not touch the surrounding walls or floor joists above. There were some steel brackets that the person used to strengthen the connection between...

I need to shift the display on my Sony XBR400 about 0.25" to the left and 0.25" down. Is there anyone here who can tell me the button push sequence to get into the service mode on this tv. Can you tell me the two variables that shift the display horizontally and vertically? I know all about...

I need to know of any methods to work around internet filtering here at work :). The proxy server method seems to have been fixed by IS. How are they actually doing this, by blocking specific web addresses? Is there a way to change the web address with respect to how the filter sees it?

I am seriously looking at one of these. What are the likes and dislikes for those that own now?

I would like to see these if anyone can post a link.

This pj has half of the resolution of HD (did I say that right)? Meaning if I have Direct TVHD going into this pj by DVI it has to downscale the picture to display on the screen? This pj does have DVI correct? My future sat receiver will have DVI. I am shakey on this and I am trying to put...

I am new to front projection and I have a low end Sony progressive scan DVD player (NSP750 I think). Should I send the projector a progressive image or interlaced? Is the scaler better in the player or projector?

Is it possible to purchase just the screen material from these companies? I checked Da-lites' site and did not see that option. I was told by a HT Store in Nashville that it was possible, has anyone here bought it?

I need some ideas for my cave theme in my home theater. Here is what I have so far... http://home.hpphoto.com/servlet/Link...37b3ae&size=lg There are a few more silhouettes in the front and I have some bats hanging from the ceiling now.

Just have to say I finally got around to making some mattes for my Sony XBR400 and it is a nice improvement. I used some luan board (spelling?) and some speaker grill cloth with use of some spray adhesive. Velcro tape fastens them to the TV so I can make the adjustments for the different...

I am getting interested in this projector. I have read the reviews over at Projector Central and find it attractive in my price range. Only thing is I will need to sit about nine feet from the screen. I am looking for a 90" picture from it with a throw anywhere from 12-15 feet. I have no clue...

The search function has been disabled all day. I am looking into getting this Internet satellite access and was just wondering what sort of speeds do you really get. Also what problems have any of you users had with this system. Was it worth it? I have seen some that require 1 year at $100 a...

Maybe I am a softy but Se7en, 8mm, The Cell, The original Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Hannibal really disturbed me at first. Horror films just are not my forte as I never watch them. I heard about the above films and they sparked my curiosity so I watched them. Se7en and Hannibal I liked, the...

I am thinking about purchasing sheets of 1/4" foam board to permanently mount my movie posters to. This would solve my problem of wrinkles showing up within my frames. Does anyone know what the best adhesive would be for this purpose? I am not a collector of movie posters and I am not worried...

If you wanted to see a list of all the current DVD movies on single layer disks in like two disk sets, where is the best place to go?

What is the best way to set these? I have a Denon 2802 with an SVS sub. Should I set the volume on the sub up and control the output via the Denon? What level should each be set at? I have the SVS 20-39 PCi with the 320W RMS amp. Currently I calibrated the sound at 0 on the Denon with the sub...

I have been a fan of film for a while but really never understood the complete "picture" for one coming together. You see so many different company names during the opening credits that makes me wonder, what exactly is the entire process? For example, what is an executive producer? I take it...

I am interested in adding the high def channels but I would like to avoid any contract in case I really do not end up watching much of them. Oval dish and receiver would be great. I guess they take a standard LNB, currently I am subscribed to the total choice package. Send me an email at...

Quick question, the oval dish can be used to pick up both satellites correct? Is there a different receiver box for the high definition channels or can you use one of the regular models? I am guessing that the high definition channels require a box with component outputs on it right? So that...

Are there any Digital Video Recorders on the market that work like a VCR, or do they all require subscriptions to their service in order to record? I know nothing about these and all I would like it to do is record cable TV and satellite programs.

Hey guys, I did a search and saw these vests mentioned once. How are the bass shakers in these vests? I figure they have less punch than the more expensive shakers but could you just use more of them? Here is a site selling the vests for 20$ http://www.oshealtd.com/interact.htm They do...

Ok guys and gals I need some sort of a small cooling fan and I need to know what and where is a good place to get them. Will I need a transformer to run them on household power? Will they come with one or do I need to somehow connect one? What is the best brand to get? This will not be mounted...

I am looking for a copy of this, doesn't have to be the original (I have no idea how big it may be). I have e-mailed Sony on this but figure that the manual is out of print by now. Give me an e-mail [email protected]

I have these glass doors that slide into the wall to open my built in cabinets. I would like to find a system that I can use X10 with to open these doors automatically by remote. Any ideas where I can get hardware to do this?

Well I just got a Denon 2802 and I want to set up 6.1. It only has one amplified channel for rear surround. If I set a pair of surrounds up do I connect them as follows: Bring the positive side of the wire coming from the amp to the first positive terminal on the left speaker. Then connect a...

Ok guys and gals, I did a search and really did not get the answer I am looking for. I have a 36" Sony XBR400 and I want a true progressive scan player. I do not want one that says progressive scan but uses a line doubler. How do I know what is a true progressive scan player?

I just don't get this. I have three dedicated circuits in my theater room. One of these is for my equipment only (TV,DVD,VCR,SAT etc.) The other two are outlets on either wall. My IR543 X10 receiver-transmitter only works on one circuit in the room. It is the one with the least things plugged...

Anyone bought this new remote from Sony yet? I was wondering if the instruction manual was online anyplace for download. I checked Sonys' website and found nothing.

I am not asking about the new online games but the ability to connect two or more PS2s together at one place and play with or against each other on more than one TV. Is this something that is coming soon? Similar to counterstrike for the PC?
