There is a new commercial for Delsym (sp?) cough syrup that is agonizing to watch. It's the one with the guy on the elevator at work who sneezes into his hand. The hand he sneezed into has a horribly drawn mouth and eyes on it and speaks to him about the product. Cheap, tacky, and amateurish are...

I hope this is in the right section. If not, please move to the appropriate section. I was looking to invest in a DVR with a dual-tuner and more recording time than the Dish Network 501 receiver that I currently have. I decided to check out Directv because I've been told that new customers...

I went into my local Wal Mart today to pick up some new releases and got Dawn of the Dead and Mulan. Since I was on an impulse shopping trip, I didn't have a list of new releases handy and relied on the presence of new displays to show me which DVDs to pick up. Anyway, to make a long story...

This is a underappreciated movie about a Russian tank crew being pursued by relentless Afghan guerrillas. I appreciated the use of very authentic Russian military equipment (the T-64 tank and Mi-24 Hind) and the portrayal of the Afghan warriors. George Dzundza and Jason Patric were...

I just received a postcard from Mitsubishi electronics. On the postcard, Mits has a "Promise Module" which will upgrade my television to fully integrated HD performance. The price listed on the card is $995 installed (plus tax and shipping). Does anyone know anything about this? Is this...

I have been reading a little about the Dish Network Model 6000 receiver and find myself getting excited about the prospect of receiving High Definition signals for my HDTV-ready Mitsubishi RPTV. Question 1: Where is the cheapest source for purchasing the Model 6000 receiver? I have done some...

Guys, I need your help on what I hope is not a critical problem. The last couple of days, my Mitsubishi 46807 rear-projection television has been intermittently displaying narrow green lines vertically from one end of the screen to the other. The lines run all the way from the top to the...

Hi all, I bought the miniseries, Roots today and was thinking that it might be a great way to usher in Black History month for the month of February. I have not seen Roots before and I'm not familiar with the level of violence and inappropriate material present in the film. I am teaching a...

Hi all, I'm calling on your expertise to answer a question. I need to buy an additional power cord for my GameCube because it is currently installed in my entertainment center and the cord is inaccessible/unremovable now. I do plan on taking my GameCube and XBox (have a spare AC cord for...

I installed Ghost Recon from my latest CGW CD-ROM and on the options screen, selected high detail for everything. I have never experienced any sort of slowdown on any of the games I have run so it was a shock when my computer creeped along as I played GR. I have an 866 mHz PIII with 512 MB RAM...

I just saw the movie, "Oh God Book 2" on Starz and it got me thinking about the whole movie series. Have they been released on DVD yet? If not, I think there might be some interest in these fun, cornball-filled films. Just release them with minimal extras (like Cannonball Run I & II). What...

I need your advice again, folks. My wife and I would love to be able to watch DVDs in our bedroom without disturbing our newborn son who sleeps right next to us. I purchased some wireless headphones from Ratt Shack for $60 (900 mHz type) and they have a frequency adjustment dial on the base...

Hello all, My wife and I are anticipating our $600 tax rebate check in September (damn our social security numbers!). We have agreed that a home theater system (or something approximating one) would be nice to have in our entertainment center. My brother-in-law works for Yamaha Corporation...
