As a person who has had Sat for 10+ years and just swutched to Cable (Comcast) 2 weeks ago (I did this for HD locals and cheaper HSI price) I can honestly say......GO SAT. The picture is, IMO, far superior than that of cable. I am actually thinking - OMG, I made a huge mistake - I will...
Last week I switched from DirecTV to Comcast digital cable with two HD STB's for my HDTV's. I mainly did this because Comcast had the local channels in HD (and cheaper cable internet price). Those digital channels however, when not in HD, show up as a 4:3 picture (My HDTV's are 4:3) but with...
I'm switching from Sat to Comcast. I have 6 TV's and I'm tired of paying $5/mo. for every box even basic channels. I too am doing the buyback-not giving them my HD box or 5.1 box though. Out of the 6 I have, I'm giving them a 9 yr. old sony. I'm mostly switching because they offer the...
Thanks for the ideas. GARRETT - when the lights are off and the movie is running, I can't help but notice the off white walls and ceiling. A darker color will minimize this. Which brings me to another question.......Should I paint the ceiling the same color or leave it? Thanks,
Hi, Well, after living in my new home for almost 2 years that came with a home theater room (about 16 x 16 (I know, dimensions are not right)), I have decided to paint it and put in movie posters and what not. My question is..I know that dark colors are best (currently have two shades of...
Hi,

I signed up for Comcast Cable (HSI as well). Anyhow when the installer got there, he told my wife that they have a buyback program where I would get $25 off my bill for 16 months if I give them my old satellite boxes. I said I didn't want to...
Hi all, I'm thinking of switching to Digital Cable (Comacast in IL), mostly because they have upgraded the cable in my area (FINALLY!!) and I can get that plus cable internet (having both makes cable modem cheaper (SCAM!!). Anyhow, my question is that I am currently using a Toshiba...

Does anyone know how to reset the lamp timer on the Sharp XV-ZW99U LCD projector? I have no manual and it doesn't seem to exist on the web anywhere. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Hi all, I'm looking for a SMALL set of speakers for my family room (NOT BOSE!!!) that will be (WAF) placed 4 feet above the TV. Any Suggestions? I have a dedicated home theater in the house, so all I am looking for is something to reproduce stereo TV and music upstairs. When I watch...
Just bought a brand spanking new home and the builder included a home theater complete with all the equipment.
However, the projector is a Sharpvision XUZW99U and I want to buy a new one that can handle HD.
So, where is the best place to buy projectors, and, do you have any recommendations...
Hi,
I'm considering building a house and in the basement there WILL be a HT built. My question is what is the ratio of length to width that should be used (I.E. should the the length be twice as long as the width)?
Thanks
