Thank you Dave. What do you think of prices for the following? Realistic or shooting myself in the foot (no buyers)? Toshiba 42H83 HDTV-ready Rear Projection TV - $400 SVS Cylinder Subwoofer - $300 Onkyo TX-SR601 Receiver - $200 Pair of Infinity Primus 250 Speakers - $200 Infinity Primus...
Hello everyone! I used to be very active here when I was in the midst of purchasing my home theater a few years ago. But, alas, I've fallen on hard times and need to sell my equipment and software, so I'm performing some market research. I'm looking for information on what dollar values I...
That is true, actually. What the salesperson is talking about is that 720 lines of progressive resolution is better than 480 progressive. However, there are a few things to take into consideration: 1. Does the TV upconvert the resolution from say 430 to 480? This is a process of adding...
Thanks for the reply, BTW. Well, with the really bad winds over here, I ended up without a satellite signal permanently. So, the satellite company could not get anybody out until AFTER the weekend. I work full time, so I won't be able to have anybody come out for another week. I figured if I...
Okay, I'm jumping into the world of HDTV (at last) and High Definition DVRs. After a terrible experience with satellite service (of which I won't go into here) I'll be getting HDTV from my local cable company. However, I have a problem. I'm noticing that the connectors on the DVR and my...
Well, I know I haven't been in the forums for a long, long, LONG while, but with the original version of Superman II by Richard Donner finally being released I just had to see if there was an official HTF review of it. But there doesn't seem to be (at least not with any links on this forum)...

And my classic movie was Mr. Smith Goes to Washington. Odd combination.
Hello Jack, Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear you've decided to join us in our small corner of the WWW. :) Superman II is one of my all-time favorite films, and I always found some comic relief in Non to be a great highlight of a film that was otherwise almost ruined (I say almost due to...
Wow! Talk about the timing of this thread. I fell up a portion of stairs (which just so happened to have a cement wall when they twist up a second flight to my apartment). I had one hell of an impact when I fell forward, hit my knee on the edge of the cement stair, as well as hitting the top of...
Well, I have FINALLY gotten back into my own apartment (after a long year of suffering the agony of living at home with the 'rents!!) and I'm now settled, I need to begin thinking about adding stuff to my balcony. So, does anyone have any recommendations for cheap, but decent quality furniture...
Here's mine (which happened just a couple of weeks ago): I was working on fixing a networking issue on a (surprise) Dell Laptop Computer. Turns out Dell isn't compatible with the network at home, so I call their support line (which is the WORST). They could not get me a solution online and...
I have been seriously considering LASIK for about a year now. I haven't had great lense-free vision for over 8 years now. How I would love to have lense-free vision again. I think it's time for me to delve into my research mode! :) BTW - does anyone know how sitting at a computer (my job is...
Hello, ladies and gents! Before getting into my new place, I've decided to treat myself to a home theater system upgrade. Namely, upgrading my DVD player. I have a Toshiba SD-4700 DVD player. How will the following rate improvement-wise over my SD-4700? I'm planning on keeping my DVD Player...
Well, hopefully things will work out when I take my car into the shop. I definitely cannot afford a new car when I am planning on moving into a new apartment in about a month!
Well...I've come to ask for some advice (planning on taking my car to the mechanic next week on my days off to find out what is going on). My 10 year old 1996 Honda Civic LX has some SERIOUS hard engine knock whenever I slow down and begin to accelerate (just before I begin to accelerate it...
Apartments. Very difficult to find any decent 1 bedrooms for less than 1,000/month around here. There should be a cap on rent like there is in New York. :angry: :angry: :angry:
Looks like I'm in the minority -- I absolutely ENJOY my birthdays -- every single one of them. Where else can you get free food, free cake, free stuff, and free money without any additional effort? I cant think of anywhere you can except Christmas!!! Although, that's minus the cake, of...
Edit: Congrats on the engagement!! :) I had a similar situation happen at my old apartment. I ended up having my car broken into and a thousand dollars worth of stuff stolen out of my car. They attempted to steal my car (my ignition was completely torn up), but luckily something prevented...
Damn...if I wasn't financially preparing myself for my new apartment -- I'd pick up an XBox 360 on Tuesday in a SECOND. Well, there's always next time to get in on the launch date of next-gen systems! :)
Well, I just got an awesome job as a Mortgage Loan Officer that I'm really proud of. I just have to get the cold calling aspect of the job down and I'll be selling loans left and right!! :D Anyway, I got my start in retail sales at CompUSA over a year and a half ago when a manager made the...
I've had a 9 year old (1996) Honda Civic Sedan (63,000 miles at the time I purchased it) for well over a year without any problems whatsoever and I even took a round trip to Vegas and back once. And that's without any tune-ups! Of course, I did have a tune-up/oil change/filter change/etc. done...
