Here's my dilemma: I currently own a 3 1/2 year old Toshiba 42H82 RPTV. I'm thinking of getting an LCD, either a flat panel or projection. So my questions are: 1. Should I keep the Tosh & get it ISF'd and save a bunch of cash. 2. Should I get an LCD flat screen 3. Should I get an...

The thread says it all. I cannot connect to Craig's List from any of the computers in my home. Its the only website that gives me a problem. I get the cannot connect/server error on both IE and Firefox. So far, I've tried clearing the cookies, shutting down the firewall and rebooting everything...

I recently moved and that means the Samsung SIR-TS360 has to go. I have the original remote, manual and VCR remote cable. I'm looking for $125 + shipping and if someone wants to pick it up locally, I'll throw in an Antennas Direct DB2 OTA antenna for free.

My PC is acting a little weird lately. I woke up a few days ago to find my PC trying to start up after leaving it on the night before. It seemed frozen, so I turned it off and restarted it manually using the power button. When it came back, I got a black screen that said this: The only...

My mother's E-Machines needs the aid of a recovery disc and in her infinite wisdom threw hers out awhile back. I also have an E-machines PC but its a different model. Since they both run Windows XP can I use my recovery disc to fix hers? The E-machines "Help Desk" told me no (but gave me no...

I have a Samsung SIR-TS360 connected to an HK AVR-225 via digital coax for the audio connection. When the Samsung outputs "bitstream", the HK will play in dolby digital 5.1 if the program is DD but if its just analog, it will jump to 2 channel stereo. I'd prefer it to jump to Pro Logic II movie...

Are the games going to be in high definition or will we get the wonderful "enhanced widescreen" like last season?

I just upgraded to Direct TV satellite HDTV so the SIR-T150 is for sale. Price is $100 + Shipping. I DO NOT have the original remote. I do have a samsung remote, that I will include, that changes the channels. All menu functions have to be done manually. The receiver is in good condition and...

I have a Dell LCD flatscreen monitor that turns to yellow tint, then back to normal. At first it would happen once a month for a few minutes, but now its happening all the time. I bought it as a refurb, so there is no warranty. Does anyone know what could be causing it and if its worth getting...

This story ran in this mornings Boston Globe.. In Mass, you are supposed to let pedestrians cross, yet this guy was sued for doing just that. Its a $100 fine if you don't stop at a crosswalk. I feel bad for the family but the guy didn't do anything wrong.

I know its early but I figured I'd ask now while the idea was fresh in my head. I usually play ESPN or Sportsline fantasy baseball and I wanted to see if there were any official or unofficial HTF leagues that we could start or I could join.

My friend has a Denon DVD-2800 and wants a DVD-Audio player so he's given me first dibs on it for around $100. Presently, I'm using a Mitsubishi DD-6030(a rebadged Toshiba SD-3800) in progressive scan mode w/a Toshiba 42h82 RPTV. Is the DVD-2800 that much of an improvement? Before my friend made...

Please take a peek at my Home Theater and tell me what you think! Although its modest compared to many of the members HTs, I'm pretty happy w/the end result(is that possible?). Thanks to everyone who inspired me to get off my lazy rear end and complete this project. I owe a ton to the members of...

I have a Toshiba 42H82 and recently, the set has started to show some horizontal lines about 1/2" apart all over the screen. It is most visible when I leave my AVR on but the source (Sat, VCR, PS2) off causing a blue screen, similar to when a VCR is on w/out a tape playing. These lines are only...

I have a Toshiba 42H82 that has vertical lines going completely across the screen and faint lines going horizontal. Its most noticable when the screen is blue, ie. when the TV and AVR are on and satellite reciever is off. Its also more noticable with S-video connections but happens w/every...

I get OTA HD and would love for it to be ABC.

I'm noticing some horizontal lines on my TV when I'm watching DVDs. It mostly happens during bright or light scenes but its mostly visible during the Teaser and Theater trailers for LOTR:TTT on the bonus disc for LOTR:TTT. It happened on the preview for Return of the King also. The lines usually...

I have an acoustic research subwoofer cable that I am not using. Is it possible to use it as a cmposite video cable? I want to use it for the video-out from my PC to my TV if possible.

This may be a dumb question, but since its my first here, please forgive me. I'd like to know if its possible to use two video sources for the same input. Here's my scenerio. I have an S-video cable coming from reciever to the TV. Underneath, on the same "Video 3" input is a composite input and...
