    Strange Problem With Star Trek-TMP Blu-ray

    Just checked this out on my US boxset copy. My insignias are definitely green.

    Star Trek: The Original Series - Season Two (Blu-ray) HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

    Anyone with the Sharp BD-HP20U have any success getting this set to play? Sharp released a firmware update on Oct. 5 (version HU9071500) that I downloaded and installed on my player tonight. Still nothing. All the bonus features will play, which they did before the update, but not the...

    Will speakers/components affect projection LCD PQ?

    I've got a question about an issue I noticed last night with my LCD projection set. There's a thin band (maybe a quarter of an inch or so thick) running completely across the screen at the very bottom where the color is slightly off. It's not very noticable most of the time, but you can...

    2001/2010 double feature on HDNet Movies tonight 7/1

    In case anyone into great science fiction films is interested HDNet Movies is showing 2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010 back to back tonight beginning at 8 PM ET to be repeated at 12:30 AM. Should be great. The clips from the commercial for 2010 looked incredible.

    Picture quality of Fox HD MLB broadcast?

    That stinks if that's the case, but as long as their MLB post season coverage is true HD I can live with it since I can get my dose of MLB regular season action elsewhere. As for their NFL coverage, I assume since that's their premiere sports package that they don't do that one on the cheap, at...

    Picture quality of Fox HD MLB broadcast?

    I'm watching the Athletics/Yankees game right now on Fox, and it's my first MLB game on Fox in HD. I've got to say I'm pretty disappointed with the picture quality, especially as compared to MLB games I've seen on ESPN and INHD. It really doesn't look much better than a good SD broadcast, only...

    Fox Sports and screen clutter: when will it end?

    So here I sit watching the Patriots and Bucs game and Fox Sports has proven once again that there is no limit to the number of times they can astound/disgust me with their presentation. As if they don't normally have enough graphics, animations, and sound effects to distract you from what you...

    Highlander 2 Special Edition: anyone buying?

    In regards to your post Grant H, I had never put much thought into trying to figure this movie out, but that does actually make sense.

    Highlander 2 Special Edition: anyone buying?

    The Digital Bits today posted specs for a Highlander 2 Special Edition due on 7/20. It sounds like a nice 2 disc set, but most people who have seen it agree that the film itself is a piece of crap. I'm a huge fan of the original Highlander, but I consider Highlander 2 to be one of the worst...

    Directors What were your first titles/players?

    My first home video machine was an RCA videodisc player. I only ever owned a couple of discs for it. When we got it my parents got a Star Trek disc that had one episode per side for me and Alice in Wonderland for my sister. First VCR was a huge RCA machine that my dad bought around 1982 or...

    Laser Disc: any way to minimize rot?

    Recently I purchased a LD player off of Ebay and have picked up a few discs. I've read in the past about laser rot and was wondering if there is any way to prevent or at least minimize it. Can factors like storage conditions influence the likelihood of rot, or is it something that if it's going...

    If Adam isn't really Bruce Wayne then the writers seem to be doing their best to make people believe he is. Jordan's telling Lana that he thought Adam had died coupled with Adam's earlier nightmare's about burning up made me think he may have taken a dip in the Lazarus Pit. Loved the vision...

    Image Distortion Question - First Post

    I guess I'm showing my ignorance here (I am fairly new to the HT scene), but what's a tilt parameter? As far as the magnetic field, that could be it. I've got a small center channel speaker in the TV stand compartment directly below the set itself which I didn't have there before. I'll try...

    Image Distortion Question - First Post

    Greetings all. This is my first post here. I have a question about something I noticed the other day. I have a Toshiba 24" Flat Tube that I use in my bedroom as my secondary TV. I was watching a movie in 2.35:1 aspect ratio the other day when I noticed that the bottom black bar did not look as...

    Ford Fairlane ... Canceled?

    Could something be wrong with DDD's system possibly? I had a preorder and an item on backorder with them and I received 2 emails today informing me that both my orders were cancelled because the products were no longer going to be available. I haven't had a chance to email them back yet to find...
