    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    I'm off tomorrow so I'll give it a try; is there anything they can do remotely or does a tech have to come out?

    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    We had the dish moved to the opposite side of the house this summer since trees had grown in front of it. Clear path now, and it was realigned at the time but I guess it could be out again...

    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    No, we called Verizon, made all the arrangements and thought we we're all set. The reason we canceled the second appointment? Even though the HD is supposed to be better, faster internet, etc., there's a cost and learning curve we just weren't sure about. Not a technology curve, but what the...

    An open letter sent to DirecTV concerning deceptive practices

    Disturbing. My wife and I recently pulled the plug on a second attempt to move to FIOS; the first time they never showed up for the install since the 3rd party agreement was never completed (?), the second after we read the complaints on service and SD video quality with Verizon. The reason...

    Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Any Plans For a Remaster?

    Thanks for the info, this is encouraging! Back to the hunt... I would hope the studios would take a cue from the Star Wars series, and recognize there is demand and market for improved versions. Not a big fan of double-dipping but for the right franchise its not a problem (as in the TOS...

    Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - Any Plans For a Remaster?

    "He's not dead yet, Jim" S-DVD sales seem to be holding their own

    Wasn't quite chump change then but it was pretty easy to convince my wife we NEEDED an upconverting player a couple years back after spending almost two grand on the HDTV. I fall in with the crowd that is very happy with the display I have now; I loved Dark Knight but it will be on DVD when it...

    I've always been curious about this movie but would, as always, like the complete version; which sceen is left out and how does it impact the Criterion version?

    Criterion's On Sale At DeepDiscount

    There are an awful lot of threads on the forum where people are voicing there opinions, so to suggest that everyone "get over it, quit whining, etc." is not very realistic. People (including me) remember when ordering from Deep Discount was fantastic experience; you could go to them for titles...

    DeepDiscount 20% off sale Spring 2008

    I was excited to see the news of the Spring sale, and was ready to place a big order using the HTF01 code. Sadly, when I logged into the website and went to my wishlist, more than half of the titles are either discontinued or out of stock. A real head-scratcher since I've been able to find them...

    About to make a buy...

    Sounds elementary, but check your receiver settings to ensure you're set for DD or DTS 5.1 and that your balance or levels haven't shifted away from the speaker you don't hear from. My Harmony 880 has the nasty habit of sending siganls through the repeater, changing the receiver audio mode. I've...

    DVD Storage

    How much room do you have? The Boltz units don't take up as much room as you might think; mine only project 10" into the room (counting the floor molding) at the feet with the shelves actually closer to the wall. The pictures don't do them justice; I thought my wife would hate them but we...

    I second the Boltz recommendation; you can expand until you run out of space.

    About to make a buy...

    Glad you're having fun with the purchase! You could try recalibrating the system as most of the time you shouldn't hear much from the surrounds, but you DID say you were watching Saving Private Ryan.... so you're gonna hear some stuff! I had one of those fabled "my SVS knocked items of the...

    I can see the headlines now... "Blu-Ray HD scuttled by grass-roots VHS movement" Right On! :laugh:
