I just received the new Hughes Directv HD Box yesterday, and it gets installed tomorrow afternoon. I've heard this is nearly identical (internally) to the Sony HD300, which I almost bought. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback on the HTL-HD - good or bad. Thanks in advance!b
Hey everyone. I know it's been posted before, but I'm looking to make my own silver speaker cables, and I was wondering if someone could post the link for silver wire manufacturers. I remember most agreeing with one make over most others. I thought I had it bookmarked, but I can't find it. Also...
Sorry for the repost, if this has been posted before. I've left several messages with Crest about the 3 cracked SACDs that I own. No return call yet. I'm simply trying to find out what Crest is willing to do about this, and if they have remedied the problem. It's not an isolated case, I only...
I had about 30 minutes last night to compare DTS and DD on one soundtrack. I am going to make a serious effort to thoroughly compare the formats in the coming weeks, granted I find time in my life. It would be easier to do with someone who cares (other than me :) ), but my wife knows how to...
Does anyone know if the transfers - both audio and video, are different on the Toy Story UTB compared with buying the two movies seperately? I am not an "extras" person, but I like the best sound/video editions available. Thanks.
I have a BLUE SST-768 for sale in perfect condition. I have all packaging and paperwork. I just don't have the time to set it up properly, so it's virtually brand new/never used. Lists for $300, I'll take $175 including delivery anywhere in the US. PayPal or Money Orders are fine. Check out the...
I read in Stereophile's Guide to HT, that the Mitsubishi Diamond (WS-65909) has a built-in internal scaler for standard def (ie. digital cable) signals. See: http://www.guidetohometheater.com/showarchives.cgi?80 I used the coax output on the Directv receiver, and plugged it into the AntA...
I have a Sony SAT-A4 Directv Tuner, and every once in a while, there is no audio on certain channels. It only occurs on channels broadcast in Dolby Digital, and mostly on STARZ and SHOW (channel 543). I know it's not my pre/pro - it's been tested. I've also called Directv, and they say it's not...
I have a question for anyone with a Mitsubishi HDTV. Are we able to receive broadcasts in 720p that are NON-terrestrially broadcast? Once satellite finally starts broadcasting more HD, are we going to be able to receive any 720p stations without down-converting to 480p? I believe that ABC is...
I'm new to multi-channel audio, and with the 2+ formats available, DVD-A, SACD, and DTS (DVD-A that uses the digital out!), it is quite overwhelming. I don't have multi channel inputs on my Lexicon, so I can only play SACDs in 2-channel format (I have Sony's 999ES). I am pleased with SACD...
