    Heads up if you're buying an xbox.

    This story is definitely real. I just went to my local Target and saw that one of the four systems in the window said "includes two sega games" and "limited edition." I said "give me that one" and walked out with it. And to think, 2 hours earlier I'd been standing in Worst Buy not having read...

    Haggling for better price...help needed.

    Find the best delivered price you can online. Use that as the starting point. I'm not sure what a 46" Mits goes for, but your best and final offer should be no more than 10% (including tax and delivery) over the online price, and articulate that you're prepared to buy on the spot. Don't...

    Calibration the Washington DC area

    Bill -- I don't know what Soundworks did to p*ss you off, but you might be right, about the setup part anyway. I asked the guy if he did focus as part of the service. His response was that it usually isn't needed because, unlike front projectors which are variable distance from screen...

    Calibration the Washington DC area

    I recently purchased a Pioneer 533 from Soundworks in Kensington, MD. They also offer calibration services, and claim to have attended ISF training. Anyone had any experience with them in this regard?

    Time Warner Digital dishonesty

    Time Warner actually is broadcasting HD in a few select markets. Houston may be one of them. So is Comcast, like in Philadelphia or someplace.

    Pioneer sd533hd5

    I second the last post. Looked at Sony HW and Toshiba HX, bought the Pioneer 533. Mine was delivered on Dec 27 and I'm extremely pleased. I'm also in Northern VA and got a pretty good deal from SoundWorks in Kensington (ask for Scott and the lowest price). You can see some additional reviews...

    Best RPTV for $3500?

    Check out hometheaterspot.com for brand-by-brand dialog. IMHO for that $, get the Pioneer non-Elite (Home Series). If you shop hard enough and want biggest you can get the 643HD5 for $3500 and the 533HD5 for $2700 (I did) or less if you purchase online. But all brands have...

    NHT vs Ascend Acoustics vs nOrh vs Energy

    If you want to spend $1500, that's one thing....but if you want to spend 1/3 less, you can get easily get 4 NHT Superones and a SuperCenter for less than $600, throw in a sub for $400 and you'll be sounding great for $1000 or less. I could be wrong, after all this is just my personal...

    Question on DD 5.1 on DishNet

    I suggest monitoring this site: http://www.dolby.com/tvaudio/#guides I've also noticed that some movies, even though they show "DD" in the program guide, only transmit in 2.0, so you can't use that as a guide.

    Best Price for PVR 501

    No, not a new subscriber. Just about a year in. If this had been available then I would've gone ahead and upgraded my initial free deal. I really just want a DD-capable receiver and TIVO/PVR-like capability, it'd be nice to get it in a single box. I'll probably bite the bullet eventually...

    Best Price for PVR 501

    Does anyone know of a better price for this receiver than Dish Depot's $279 trade-in? Although the comments on the technology are mixed, I don't think there's going to be a better alternative for DishTV use within the next few months.
