I have a JBL L8400P. I got it in April 2009 and it just had its third failure. The first was a melted voice coil and the second was a friend amp. Now, it goes out of stand-by, then immediately back in, which makes me think a capacitor failed, but haven't taken it apart yet. So my question is...

I have a recently built HTPC running Windows 7 32-bit ultimate. I am attempting to record Clear QAM. I have two tuner cards in it: an ATI TV Wonder 650 (PCI) and a Hauppage WinTV-HVR-1600. Media Center detects the analog and digital tuners, but when I go to scan channels, I only end up with...

I am in the process of getting some new speakers. The plan is to get 5.1 now, then down the road, move the front to surround and get some tower speaker for a 7.1 set-up. Eventually, when they are surrounds, these speakers will be wall-mounted, but for now there's nothing to mount them to. I...

I posted some speaker questions on HighDef Digest and was told that Sony audio products are all crap and I'd be better off buying much cheaper off-brand speakers? Can anyone confirm/deny? This is for a roughly 15'x18' (4.5mx5.5m) dedicated theater room and I'd like to keep my total for all...

I was planning to get the STR-DG720, which looks to be pretty cheap on Black Friday. It has 7.1 decoding and all the codecs and inputs I need. I mentioned this on High-Def Digest and was told this was the worst receiver ever and it sounds terrible. Is there any truth to this? If so, what's good...

I've wanted Westinghouse's TX-47F430S since it was announced, bt the date seems to have slipped. Originally it was last month, now it's may according to Amazon and few other stores list it at all. May is half over. And to clarify, the screen itself is identical to the LVM-47W1, but it adds...

I was shopping for an Xbox 360 on eBay and ended up buying one with an HD-DVD player and King Kong. I already have a copy of Cinderella Man Ipicked up for $5 on Target clearance. I'm thinking I won't spend a lot on HD-DVDs until I'm more certain of the format, but I'll prbably get Batman Begins...

My dad bought the first four seasons of Andromeda. It took him a while to get through them. By the time he got to season four, he was outside his return period. He found one of the discs was cracked. He tried to contact ADV, only to find that the contact form on their website doesn't work.; With...

Threads keep getting started about when/whether we can expect more of X show, so I thought it would be useful to gather this info in a single thread. If you have any details or shows to add, please post them and I'll update the list. For the purposes of this thread, abandoned shows are ones...

Does each Disney studio (Touchstone, Miramax, Walt Disney Pictures, Caravan, etc) have their own home video division which produces DVD and special features, then all are distributed by Bunea Vista, or is there just one division that handles hoem video for all the studios?

Is anyone else disappointed the DVD for The Simple Life 2 doesn't include the reunion special that was missing from the first season?

I've noticed that on later Herc and Xena sets, Anchor Bay has dropped the SRP and cut down on extras quite a bit. Have they not been selling wells? What are our chances of getting the other Renaissance Pictures shows like Young Hercules, Cleopatra 2525 and Jack of All Trades? Also, is there any...

This set has a mail-in rebate when you buy seasons one and two. However, this requires original cash register receipts for both and I already sent in my original receipt to get the pilot. I'm sure this has happened to many of the rest of you.

But I'm a Cheerleader was cut down to obtain an R in the US and I'm interested in getting the original version. I know I can get it from the UK for a fairly reasonable $17 or so, but I'd liek to know if there are any uncensored NTSC versions and if it's possible to go cheaper.

I have the Immaculate Collection and I've ordered the 93:99 collection, but neither has Justify My Love and I Will Remember or other 1991-1992 videos. Are these available on DVD?

ANy chance Fox will revist Buffy: The Vampire Slayer with an SE? They'll be runnign out of seasons of the show soon, which has sold pretty well as I understand and will certainly want a way to get more revenue. THere's and A&E making-of that could be put on. You coudl do a Joos Whedon...

Through a series of events, I've acquired two computer cases with working power supplies and optical drives. THe computers don't actually run. I think thye both have bad hard discs. At any rate, they both have incredibly old processors and motherboards. I also have a spare AGP graphics card and...

I'm fairly sure I want to buy this TV. Unfortunately, no B&Ms around here carry it, so I can't check it out before I shell out my $900. I wanted to know if anyoen is aware of any problems with this set. The main thing is, does it lock into 16:9 mode with 480p inputs? My current TV does this and...

I have the opportunity to pick up a Universal copy of Repo Man fairly cheap, but wanted to make sure it's the same as the Anchor Bay SE. Anyone know of any differences?

I have the opportunity to buy the Manga release of this movie pretty cheap. I was wondering Disney was plannign on re-releasing this as Disney's version would be sure to be better.

Season One of Once and Again has been out about one and a half years now. Any chance of use ever getting the other two seasons?

I recently got an HDTV that seems to lock into 16:9 mode with progressive material. I found a decent DVD player that will pillarbox stuff for me, but most Xbox games don't seem to support widescreen. My understanding is a lot of TVs do this, so I was wondering if there was a solution out there...

I just bought a Philips 30PW850H from Wal-Mart (display model, was only $575!), but when I got it home, I found that it displays all 480p input as widescreen. As I have many Xbox games that support 480p but not widescreen, not to mention all my TV on DVD material, being able to display 480P 4:3...

I'll be getting a new widescreen HDTV soon and don't have a player that does progressive output currently. I've also been wanting a portable player, so I thought why not get a single player that can do both. Here are my qualifications widescreen display a must progressive output a must...

According to several sources, including the IMDB and City of Angel, the episode "Over the Rainbow" was supposed to open with a scene with Wes, Lorne and Angel in Karitas, then go to Cordy in the forest. The R1 DVDs go straight to her in the forest. Can anyone confirm whether there's an actual...

With Deep Discount DVD havign their big sale, I was considering buying Transformers season 1. I noticed it's about 10% cheaper to buy the three individual volumes instead of the complete first season set. Woudl I miss out on any special features this way?

Lots of sources list Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 2: Meet Casey Jones as edited. Does anyone know how or why? THe DVD only came out about 6 months after the episodes aired, which isn't a lot of time for standards to change.

The twist in tonight's epiusode didn't go overt the top at all. Although I still question the necessity of a twist in every episode, thsi was a nice change. Also, unlike most wroongful conviction storylines they've done lately, the conviction in this one was somewhat plausible. I do miss...

I'm interested in expanding my Hitchcock collection. Right now all I have is the Criterion box. However, it seems with the Universal sets, the only way to get all the volumes of Alfred Hitchcock presents is to buy Both Best of Hitchcock volumes and both Hitchcock Collection volumes, which would...

According to the IMDB and an online review or two, the correct AR for Akira Kurosawa's dreams is 2.35:1. The DVD is 1.85:1. I was wondering, is this cropped, open-matte, or is the IMDB just wrong?
