    Blockbuster Online vs. Netflix

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this but, I used to be a Netflix member and cancelled my membership earlier this year when I was in a cost cutting mode. It also gave me some time to catch up on some Tivo'd stuff and some other movies I'd saved up. Anyway, I'm considering re-upping...

    Must haves on any DVD set?

    An earlier thread discussed the fact that Paramount generally releases their TV show DVDs pretty bareboned. It got me thinking. What would you consider the must haves that should be on every TV series DVD? This is my list: 1) Every episode uncut as it appeared during it's initial showing...

    Subwoofer connection - novice question

    I currently have an inexpensive RCA 2600 HTIB system. The receiver has burned out and I am looking to replace it with a better one. The subwoofer that came with my 2600 is connected using 2 wires, just like the front and surround speakers. Most of the receivers I have looked at only have an RCA...

    National Lampoons Animal House

    I posted this in the Movies Forum, but maybe it's more appropriate here. Does anyone know why NL Animal House is NOT available on DVD? I do recall seeing an old version of the DVD (or VHS) available on EBay, but I can't find it new anywhere, or even rentable from Blockbuster, Hollywood, etc. Are...

    Animal House on DVD?

    I don't know if this is the right forum, but does anyone know why National Lampoon's Animal House is NOT available on DVD? I see that at one time it may have been, but I can't for the life of me find it. It's one of my favorite movies.
