I just bought a Mitsubishi 57732, and I'm concerned about placing it in the cabinet that currently houses my Mits 55807. I know the DLPs have a fan to cool the lamp, but should I be concerned about the heat build up around the set? The new TV there will have about 2" of space around it in the...

I just ordered the newest installment of Myst: Uru, Ages Beyond Myst, at amazon.com and I received the Myst 10th Anniversary DVD Edition for free. The bonus set includes Myst Masterpiece, Riven, and Myst III: Exile Explore new ages, dramatic storylines, and incredible sights and sounds...

I saw the trailer at the Matrix Revolutions showing and the theater was rolling! Made by the creator of Meet the Parents and Zoolander. It stars Ben Stiller (again) and Jenifer Aniston. Here's the IMDB link, and here's a link to the trailer. January '04 release.

How do you guys feel about this? I just upgraded my speakers from a Bose Acoustimass system. My speaker wire runs were previously split to go in and out of the bass module. Now, I would need an additional 65 feet of wire to get the rears connected with "home runs". I was thinking about...

Yes it's Midnight Madness time again! My Huskies were voted pre-season # 1 before the addition of Charlie Villanueva. He was looking to go into the NBA draft right out of high school but decided to go to UCONN. I know I'm pushing it, but us Red Sox fans need a distraction.

I'm looking to Pre-order seven movies with different release dates ranging from Tuesday (Scarface) to November 18 (The Two Towers). Overstock's policy is that your credit card gets charged up front "to ensure the low price", which I have no problem with. But how does the shipping work? Will I...

In doing my normal surfing on HTF I came across a "Krispy Kreme" thread as well as a thread about Outkast's new CD. Which leads me to think of Limp Bizkit and Korn and so on. What is our culture's infatuation with incorrect spelling? I just don't see it. At 34 have I become my father? Ralph

The Curse of the Bambino HBO special starts Tuesday the 16th. Narrated by Ben Affleck. I wonder if it's based on Dan Shaughnessy's book by the same name. Ralph

I was in Borders yesterday to pick up a few books to read while on vacation and thought I'd pick up a DVD and some CDs as well. I walked out empty handed. The price on the book was 100% of jacket price. I don't think I have ever paid full price for a book anywhere. I picked up Evanescence's...

Soundstage: 10:00 pm tonight. Looking forward to this!

My favorite beer will now be in ice cream format. Are they going to make a "Koozie" that fits it? :D

Every morning when I bring my daughter to day-care, we listen to the Shrek soundtrack. EVERY DAY for about 18 months! She got hooked on the music when she got hooked on the movie. The music is pretty good but I'm really sick of it, and I think she is too. None of the other movies she likes have...

Recently I've been researching a home theater speaker system for my Dad. I was reading an HT mag and saw a review of of a system in which the center channel could not go lower than 300 Hz and the other four channels could not go lower than 100 Hz. The peak for the sub was around 80 Hz. Is...

I picked up the original Fantasia yesterday and I could not seem to get the DTS 5.0 track to play. Each time I selected the DTS track in the menu, it came up 2.0 and the DPL II took over. I thought it could just be the intro, but it never came out. I did not get any of the DTS in the display...

I'm one of the guys who makes sure all you people have your 401K and variable annuity prospectuses filed with the SEC and printed for the first week of May. BFD, right? Anyone read those things anyway? I don't even read mine! Of course with all the CEO creative accounting going on, auditors...

I just heard a radio interview between WFAN radio and the CBS Sports Programming Director in New York. CBS and ESPN are finalizing an agreement that would immediately send CBS feeds to ESPN if war breaks out during the NCAA tournament. When asked why they aren't using other Viacom stations, the...

I've been shopping around for a 36" analog set for my Dad. I bought him a progressive DVD player but he's not ready for a digital TV yet. So he will watch in interlaced mode. His DVD player has the ability to send out 480i over component connections, but does a component video connection...

I had high hopes for this show after the first episode, but it seems to be lost in the ABC shuffle. Last night's (3/10) episode was weak. Ralph

My wife and I use our VISA fairly often but we always pay off the balance. We have bought everything from DVDs to my RPTV. Sometimes when I go shopping at a mall, my first one or two purchases go fine but the second or third will be declined. I'll have to call the company from the register and...

My wife and my brother-in-law want to buy me gift certificates so I can get a new sub. Thankfully she told me yesterday and I could stop them all from going to Best Buy! (Shudder!) A new PCi under the tree is what I want to see! Ralph

I was unable to receive two games yesterday and the Colts game kept "pixellating". I did a system test and found that transponders 11 and 16 were in the mid 30s and transponder 14 was "0". All other transponders were reading from 90 to 100 as usual. Anyone else have this issue? Weather was...

Has anyone been able to use this inside an enclosed cabinet. I have this resting on my extremely hot Hughes E86 and I can't get it to kick the fans on. I have it set on "Auto Cool" as per the maufacturer's instructions and it only turns the fans on when I manually turn the knob. Then, it will...

I recently noticed that the light contained within the power switch on this unit is flickering. Is this an indication of a power fluctuation of some sort? This is what is plugged into it. Mitsubishi 55807 Hughes E86 HD Set Top Box Toshiba VCR Technics CD player Yamaha 85W x 6 Receiver...

I went to BB yesterday to pick up Black Hawk Down and was floored when I found a "A Bugs Life" too. I thought Disney had already "Put it in the Vault" because I had never seen the DVD in any store before. I was so excited to get it for my 2 year old that I didn't notice that it had no cellophane...

I saw this onwww.titantv.com. There are rumors that it's Jerry Seinfeld's alias. The concept sounds like what Don Novello (Father Guido Sarducci) did back in the 70's as Lazlo Toth. He sent letters to everyone from Presidents to Mr. Bubble. I specifically remember a letter to Nixon after he...

I have my Hughes E86 connected to my Yamaha A/V receiver via optical cable. The Hughes has an ATSC tuner, NTSC tuner and DirecTV tuner. In what format does the NTSC analog audio get sent to the Yamaha? Should it be a PCM signal? I ask because I recently lost the audio for all my NTSC...

I have my Hughes E86 high def STB hooked into my HTR 5490 via optical audio. Today I lost the sound from my OTA analog TV stations. Audio on OTA HD stations is fine and DirecTV audio is fine. Sound on every other input is fine as well. I tried switching the input mode on the Yamaha which is...

I will be upgrading my speakers in the next few months and have been looking for a 6.1 set-up, with bookshelf speakers as mains, that is under $2,000. I have been looking at manufacturers that feature switchable surrounds. I like the flexibility that switchable surrounds would give me for music...

Link Removed stars Mickey Rourke, Faye Dunaway and Alice Krieg. Produced by Francis Ford Coppola. One of my absolute favorites, but only available on VHS. My VHS copy is pretty much shot. Anyone hear of anything?
