Looking for a cable tuner card... I'd like one where I can just plug the CATV in and go.

All my DVDs are in mint condition and OAR unless noted. They never touch anything but the case and the player tray. I'm primarily looking for sales, but if feel free to send me a list if you're interested in trading. $25 24 - Season 1 Law & Order - The First Year $10 Coupling - The...

FS: Denon AVR-3802 7.1 home theater receiver in MINT condition... I treated this well for the 2 years I used it. Sad to get rid of it, but my new apartment just cannot handle it. I still have the factory box (in near perfect condition), remote control, instructions, and all accessories...

Do I really need a sound card, or will I get good enough performance running straight from my mobo's S/PDIF to my receiver?

I'm planning to take my first shot at building a computer and want to find a place to read reviews on various hardware, cases, etc. Anyone know of any good sites?

I've never done this and I don't want to get duped. I have a set of chairs that I want to sell, and I saw them at an antiques store a while ago for $450. How much should I try to get for them? I was thinking of asking $300 and hoping for $250. Is that too low? I want to ask enough that I get a...

I need to find a scene where a missile is launched against a ground target. Launch from a ground vehicle would be preferred, but it could also launch from a plane. (I might also be able to deal with it exploding on a ship.) The only thing I can think of right now is the beginning of...

I need a cell phone that includes a syncable calendar. Basically, my time management skills suck. Other than the calendar and the call quality, I could care less about other features. I'm willing to consider any provider.

Right now I have my computer set up to dual boot Linux and XP. I never use Linux anymore, and I want to recover the disk space. However, I'm using LILO as a boot loader. What I want to do is safely eliminate Linux, reformat that disk in Windows, and eliminate the boot loader so it always boots...

Was talking to my friend about this today, and I'm ashamed that I could only come up with two: Scarface and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

Another oft-abused movie device (like the slow walk) is the developmental montage that shows time passing. What do you think are the absolute best ones out there? I'll start it off with Ghostbusters.

I'm looking to get some standees on a college student budget. (i.e., I don't want to pay much more than $10 a piece.) I really don't care if I get popular stuff. The kitschier the better. Anyone know of any good Internet sites or stores in the NYC or Boston areas?

I would pay to have access to the search function when it is disabled in general, and to have less wait time between searches. I’m sure there are other people out there who would, as well.

Is there a good source that lists what movies are having public sneak previews and the dates of said previews?

I find it extremely annoying that the site pops up new windows for everything linked in a post, and a host of other links, too. It’s not long after I start reading the HTF that I have six or more broswer windows open. On top of the fact that it’s annoying, there are legitimate reasons why it’s...

When you write, do you try to include at least one quotable one-liner? I just wrote my first movie review, and I wasn’t really shooting to get a quotable phrase in, but one (“a sappy, formulaic, fat-free chick flick”) just came out. I feel kind of skeezy for it. hahah.

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT What really struck me about this film was how it drew me into the world of Ciudade de Deus (the place). As the movie progresses, I became number and number to the Tarantino-esque violence. I can assume the residents must’ve felt the same way at that point. I think this...

Fernando Meirelles’ Cidade de Deus (City of God) slides you effortlessly into the world of this Rio de Janeiro slum. The narrative hops gracefully between two eras: the ’60s, where we see the protagonists as wide-eyed children, and the drug-heavy ’70s–early ’80s. Cidade is a violent movie, but...

What equipment do you use to shave your head? I’m looking to upgrade my $20 Conair clippers. I want something that can cut shorter than 1/8" and just generally does a better job.

This is a ridiculously stupid question, but I forget the answer: Is it in any way bad to connect headphones to the speaker out jack on a sound card? (Mainly, will it ruin anything?)

Since I'm new at the whole home audio game, I thought it might help if you guys could play "bass doctor" for a second here... Before watching FotR: EE the other night, I recalibrated my system. I used Sound & Vision to calibrate using DTS ES Discrete. That DVD tells you to adjust the bass...

Here is my ultimate goal: I would like to build a music server and rip all my CDs to that server in the following way: For popular music CDs, one song = one file, with notable exceptions like albums that are designed to be played as an album (DJ sets, etc.) For classical music CDs, one...

I read all the negative comments about the unit on Amazon.com but I decided to go through and order the unit anyway. Now the motor seems to be slowly dying! It makes an extremely annoying and audible sound the entire time the disc is spinning, and when I put my hand on the player, it seems to be...

Why does HBO feel its own movies and TV shows (such as Live From Baghdad and The Sopranos) merit OAR letterbox presententation, yet they MAR scope films on their HD channel? Clearly, they believe the HBO audience has come to at the very least accept the black bars as part of the presentation...

I have digital cable. If I get a TiVo or ReplayTV unit, do I use the same cable box I have now and route that into the PVR, or do I connect the raw cable signal to the PVR and use that as my new tuner?

Is there any way to make tracks butt seamlessly up against each other? I have many classical music CDs where one long piece of music is broken up into different tracks. When I rip this (or even just play the CD back with Winamp), there's a delay between tracks, totally ruining the music. Is...

I finally got around to hooking up my 3802. Works great, except when I try to play DTS tracks, then it doesn't work at all. It doesn't detect the DTS stream. It plays nada. The front panel reads: (on led) (auto led) STEREO DVD [analog]. No DTS LED. It doesn't even say it's a digital stream. I've...

$50 shipped. I'll also consider a trade for the Die Hard box set. Discs and gatefold packaging in like new condition. (Disc 3 appears to have a very shallow surface scratch, but plays perfectly even on my notoriously bad DVD player.) Cigar box has some dents and scratches (nothing broke the...
