    Broadcasting from a DirecTiVo unit

    Is anyone using a modulator like the Avcast to broadcast recorded programs from a DTiVo to other TVs? Can this be done with a DirecTiVo unit? I'm considering this because I often record (VHS) TV shows in one room and then watch them in another room. I'd like to maintain this flexibility with...

    TV won't turn on....bad power supply?

    My kitchen TV (20" Panasonic) seems to have died after only two and a half years. It was fine yesterday morning but when my wife got home from work she tried to turn it on and got nothing. Does this sound like a power supply problem and if so how much would it cost to have it repaired? The...

    Connecting one set of speakers to two sets of terminals...

    My receiver has a set of B terminals that would allow for a 2nd set of main speakers in another room. These speakers could be played alone or along with the A main speakers. IOW, I could play A, B or A&B....I'm sure this is very common and many of you have recievers with this capability. OK...

    Titanic DVD for $8.99?!

    Has anyone purchased Titanic from overstock.com? The description of the disc says that it's pan and scan but the picture of the DVD cover says Widescreen Edition. Based on some of the other DVD descriptions at their site, I'm questioning their accuracy. I'd love to jump on this DVD at this...

    Thinking of getting the KP53HS30......

    I'd like to replace my 6 year old 35" Toshiba in my living room with this HD ready RPTV. I'd like a bigger screen and with the couch being ~10' back, I think my room can easily accomodate a 53" set. I have DirecTV and most of our viewing is 4:3 programming. I'd prefer not to have to use...

    The new Radio Shack 15-2104 remote.

    I just got the new RS 15-2104 so I thought I'd share my initial thoughts on it for anyone who's thinking of getting one. It's the direct replacement for the very popular 15-1994 that I've already owned two of. As much as I loved the older model I did have a problem with it. After about 6...

    HBO broadcasting in DD 5.1 revisited

    The last thread we had going regarding this topic was during the week that this was actually supposed to start. Several people who tuned in that night said the broadcast did not occur in DD 5.1. I immediately wrote it off as misinformation at the Dolby site but now that the DirecTV customer...

    Questions regarding TiVo

    I'm thinking about getting TiVo but I have a couple of questions: 1)I was considering the Philips (either the 20 or 30 hour stand alone) to be used with my Hughes DirecTV receiver. Is anyone using either of these and would you recommend it? Any significant differences between Philips and Sony...
