    History Channel's "Widescreen Show?"

    Yesterday before dinner one of the people at the house was talking about a special they saw on the History Channel explaining the history of widescreen movies. He was saying it explained why the industry switched to it, and also dealt a good deal about how much you miss when you convert a...

    Neat Screen Savers hacking challenge

    The Screen Savers challenged anyone of their viewers to try to hack into one of their computers on the show this evening. They installed XP, updated it with Service Pack 2 (turning on XP's firewall & making sure it's up to date with critical downloads)... and that's it. No other firewalls, or...

    About Edgar Winter Band's Frankenstein

    Does anyone know where you can find the 14 minute version of this song? The song came on in work the other day, and one of my co-workers told me about the "extended, every solo imaginable"-14 minute version of this song. I found evidence of it online, but I can't seem to find any info about...

    DVD Tray Auto Open

    Does anyone know how to turn this feature off? Whenever I Make a DVD-R or CDR the programs I use all open the tray when it is complete. Sometimes I walk away from the computer, and don't like the idea of having the tray open for an extended period of time. Is there an easy way through Windows to...

    HELP! watching European socer in the U.S. (Germany v Holland)

    A friend of mine is currently going nuts because tomorrow Germany plays Holland, and he has no where to see it! (that explanation point is there for his behalf). I told him he's never going to be able to find a spot since it's the freakin first round, but he's being very persistant. But, we live...

    Questoin about DIRECTV w/ TIVO deal...

    I've been looking into this deal where you only pay $99 for the 2 tuner 35 hr receiver, and have some very simple questions. Can someone who took advantage of this deal give me the model number of the receiver? I'd like to know about the receiver before purchasing. Does it have S-Video or...

    Questoin about Pioneer universal DVD burner...

    I'd like to know what the difference is between the 106D and the A06. The 106 is the "OEM" version, while the A06 is the "retail version." I'm guessing it is just the software bundled with it. Is that correct? If it is, then people that have the A06 find the software worth the extra $22?

    Help getting rid of: Explorer brought to you by...

    My sister had a comcast cable connection with her laptop for the school year. Now she has a "Internet Explorer brought to you by Comcast" thing when you open it up on the top of the window. For instance when I'm at HTF it says "Home Theater Forum - Microsoft Internet Exploere brought to you by...

    My name's website turned out to be an embarrassment.

    I guess I was too late to get it. The only good thing about the Greg Simpson site is that I apparently have a fan base. This came as a shock to me since I didn't know I was a country music singer that sings sissy-la-la songs like "Throw you a line" and "Soul, heart and mind." (No offense to any...

    Are Phone Booths still around in NYC?

    I'm looking forward to seeing that new movie, but it makes me wonder if they still have Phone Booths in NYC. It would make a bit of sense to still have them since it's a loud city, but do they still have them? Here in Philly they are non-existant. I think the movie has one at Times Square where...

    Question about CDex

    I was using CDex tonight when I noticed in the "status" column, instead of the usual OK, I had a x2 for a song. Does this mean there were 2 errors while trying to rip the song? I redid it, and got a x3, so I kept the original. I couldn't hear any distortion on my computer speakers, but that...

    Copyright question

    I was looking at a cd of mine, The Roots: Organix, and noticed that instead of the normal © simbol, it was a circle with a "p" in it. What is that about? The ©, registered, or trade mark symbols were no where to be found on the CD or the case. It seems really strange to me. Is this cd not...

    Get $5-20 from the Evil Music Industry

    I read in ZENtertainment yesterday that as a result of an out-of-court settlement alleging price fixing in the music industry, anyone having purchased "prerecorded Music Products" (consisting of compact discs, cassettes and vinyl albums) between 1995 and 2000 is potentially eligible to receive...

    Problem installing Quicktime 6.0

    Hmmm, this isn't so much as a Quicktime problem as it is a problem caused from downloading Quicktime. Last night, I thought I successfully installed this program, and I was told I had to reboot my computer. I did this, and when my OS came back on (XP Home), the screen was black. I heard my...

    What was your first DVD?

    I actually sped up my DVD player purchase just because Snatch came out a month earlier on on DVD then on VHS. I remember I walked into the store and was completely baffled by the fact that it wasn't on VHS. I bought the DVD that night, then a player 2 days later. The reason I ask is because...

    Mulholland Drive with Scene Selection

    I did a search on here, and could only find people complaining about the lack of Chapter Stops. Has anyone here gotten the Korean release of this movie? A friend of mine got it (he said it was cheaper then the U.S. release at $19) and it has Scene Selection, Film Highlights, Cast and Crew...

    Small Problem with XP

    I just reinstalled XP into my computer, and although I'm happy overall, I found a few quirks that are annoying me... First off, Outlook & Win Messenger are in it, and there seems to be no way to delete them. I checked in the Add/Remove section of the Control Panel, as well as their individual...

    Question about what I can sell on the forum.

    Is RAM compatible w/ every computer?

    Would the RAM out of a new Sony be compatible with a new Compaq computer? I have 2 computers in the house, and am considering swapping some of the RAM around since I use one computer more often then the other. I imagine everything would work fine, but before I get my fingers dirty (slighty...

    D VHS review link not working.

    Hello, I wasn't sure, but I figured if I'm having a problem with a link, this would be the place to report it. I tried to read the D-VHS review that is currently on the homepage, but it told me I'm not authorized to view it. Does this sound correct to you? Thanks. Greg.

    Is a speaker near a radiator harmful?

    I'm thinking about moving my speakers, but if I do this one will be fairly close to the radiator in the room. Although this will have no effect right now, will it be a problem when the cold weather comes and the radiator heats up?

    Digital VCRs

    I just read about the "JVC HM-DH3000" and was wondering if anyone here had a D-VCR. I did some reading and it seems like a pretty nice unit. It's capable of every picture format, including the 1080i and 720p. It's also backwards compatible with any type of VCR. And the blank tapes can tape 24...

    Do all new DVD players play VCDs as well?

    Last year I noticed just about every single DVD player I looked at (most under $700) had the ability to play Video CDs. With the newer models, however, I am not seeing it listed as a feature on most of the ones I have looked at. Is this because they no longer play this format or because it is...

    Why do Sony Speakers have such a high freq response?

    I was browsing around Crutchfield.com last night, and noticed that most speakers have a range of up to 20 kHz (some Polk speakers have 26 kHz, but that's not a big gap). But when I looked at some of the Sony speakers, I noticed one speaker package goes up to 70 kHz (the LA300PKG) and one of...
