    Similar Alternatives to the Bose 3.2.1 system out there?

    The thing is, the TV in question is a 20" Sony Wega with good but frankly boring and dull sounding speakers -- the Bose 3.2.1 would blow it away. I realize that any of the mill receiver with with two mid-size speakers would also sound good (especially if it had the "phantom center" mode). The...

    Similar Alternatives to the Bose 3.2.1 system out there?

    thanks! but are there home theater in a box packages that have "phantom center channel" or something similar? furthermore, the 3.2.1 goes even further, from what i can tell, and somehow processes some of the rear sound effects into the front two speakers ("phantom rear"?) -- i know this is...

    Sony 36" Flat or Panny 32" HDTV

    I wouldn't consider the Hitachi if I were you -- it only has one wideband component input. You now have a progressive scan dvd player, which requires that input, so what do you do if you ever decide to get an HDTV tuner? That's the mistake I made when I purchased my TV two years ago. Most new...

    HDTV in Chicagoland?

    Does anyone know what the deal is with CBS's chicago affiliate? Up until a week ago, www.titantv.com had info indicating that they would be broadcasting digitally as of 12:00am November 12. Now the site says February 1, 2002. Anybody know what's going on with them?

    screen format on digital broadcasts (when to use anamorphic squeeze)

    Does anyone know of a website that offers this information (original screen format for all network shows and what local affiliates do with them). I'm still having a hard time figuring out whether my aspect ratio is screwy or not. Part of the problem is that my samsung tuner behaves very...

    screen format on digital broadcasts (when to use anamorphic squeeze)

    I own a 480p set and recently purchased an SIR-T150 tuner so as to get OTA digital tv in Chicago. First off, the digital broadcasts, even the non-hd broadcasts, are awesome, seeming to rival anamorphic dvd's at times. The problem is that I can't tell when to put my tv into 16x9 mode. For...
