A friend recently purchased an Onkyo TX-SR602 and is trying to set up the accompanying remote control as his only remote. He is having trouble with the Comcast Scientific Atlantic cable box. Onkyo provides no codes for any SA products so he used the learning function. His remote sends the right...

I am looking to buy the Sharp LC-32G4U. The best price I found was around $2500 shipped at Beach Audio. I want to buy an extended warranty, too. Beach Audio is offering coverage from Warrantech. Anyone know anything about this company? I have lugged my 36" Sony XBR around too long. I am...

Hi, I have a 36" Sony XBR450 that I would like to sell before moving. The TV is just too heavy, and the DLP's are rather tempting. Do you think this is a fair price?

So, all the news about Halo 2 and EA Sports games on Live got me excited, so I pulled out my dusty copy of Mech Assault and headed online to find that no one on my friends list was playing anything at all. I checked the leaderboards for friends stats, and there weren't any. I guess everyone else...

I recently moved in with my girlfriend, and brought my modest home theater set up with me. My girlfriend absolutely refused to let me run speaker wire from my amp to the surrounds, and this obviously led to a somewhat heated argument. Of course, in the end, she won (I was moving into her place...

Some newer HTIB systems have rear speakers that aren't directly wired to the source, but instead use a transmitter and receiver. Anyone know of a standalone product like that?

Okay, seeing Arnold on The Tonight Show has renewed my interest in this title. Anyone know anything about a DVD release? I want to see the 25th Anniversary Special Edition on DVD. There are copies floating around on the web, but I imagine they are cheap copies of the VHS.

I haven't touched my XBox in weeks for a variety of reasons, and when I went online yesterday, not a single friend on my list was online. What, is everyone playing KOTOR or something? I picked that game up yesterday, but have yet to play it.

I am getting my TV serviced because it has developed an orange spot in the upper left hand corner after two years of great service. I bought the extended warranty for the peace of mind (I know, I know, waste of money usually) so I made a call and scheduled a visit. My question is, what should...

This game keeps growing on me. Playing with my roommate makismc, Scar, and MXYZPTLK (I had to look that up) has been a lot of fun. I feel pretty confident that the 4 of us could pretty much take on any four out there. Scar, I hope my crack about you stealing kills wasn't taken seriously. Of...

What bit rate do I need to encode mp3's to get an equivalent sound quality to FM radio? I have read a variety of reports, some saying 96 Kbps and some saying 128 Kbps is the equivalent of FM quality. At home I can definitely tell the difference, but then again I can just listen to CD's and not...

So my friends got XBox Live, which we all love for the convenience of being able to play NFL 2K3 from the comfort of our own living rooms, not to mention being able to pull up routes and select plays without worries of the other player seeing (but I digress)... Anyway, my friend took a "sick"...

Alright, the Sega website talks about all these updates and when they were and are going to be released, but I was able to download only one roster update near the beginning of this month, and it doesn't have all the changes listed. Am I missing something? Is all that information for the PS2? I...

I bought Unreal Championship thinking it would be the second coming of Halo, but boy, was I disappointed. I want to unload this game, and was wondering what the return policies are at stores like EB and Software Etc. I have read about you guys returning games soon after buying and playing them...

Alright, people are getting the Live Starter Kit early, so I want to know where I can get the games ASAP. EBGames and Best Buy seem to think they will ship on the 13th and 12th, respectively, so I can I pick these up anywhere on those dates?

My understanding is that whoever hosts the game is the server, correct? Does anyone know what kind of upload bandwidth is going to be needed to host decent games? If it's anything like xbconnect, a standard DSL connection wouldn't really cut it for hosting 16 player games. I know live code is...

All my friends plan on getting XBox Live, which brings up this question: How do you use your account on someone else's box? Can you have four accounts signed in on one box so you don't have to be guest of someone?

I love gun games, and was really disappointed with the Guncon II for PS2 because it didn't work with my Sony XBR450. Anyone know if the XBox guns will work with HDTV's?

I read the insightful primer on edge enhancement over at http://home.t-online.de/home/bjoern....l/Page_01.htm, but now I notice edge enhancement everywhere, even on my 36" TV. Am I seeing things, or does Shrek have some slight edge enhancement? I definitely see halos, and to make sure it...

I want to pick up a good racing game for the Xbox, but now that I have my Xbox networked with a friend I am spoiled and don't want any split screen action, just system link competition. Any good racing games that fit the criteria? My friend is picking up Rallisport Challenge, but I don't...

Can anyone relate their experiences with Comcast's HDTV broadcasts? I am moving to Arlington in June, supposedly just in time for Comcast to start transmitting HD through their cable network. I am 99.9% sure I am going to sign up, unless someone here thinks it's not worth it. I don't know any...

Any one know if they plan on doing a direct from digital transfer for the Episode II DVD? DVD's like Shrek and Toy Story 2 look amazing, and the possibility of a transfer like that has me wanting Episode II on DVD like yesterday...

Hi guys, I have long perused this forum for the vast amount of information contained within it, and now I'm desperate enough to actually ask for some help... I just bought a 36XBR450, and it just looks terrible for most sources. I calibrated with Avia and that's about it. I have an RCA...
