    Questions on TV Sound + Cabling

    I'm looking at getting the Samsung 40/42" LCD 1080p TV (something like the LNT4061), but my wife and I aren't home theatre addicts in the sense that we really need surround sound or the like, we just want to be able to hear it, and figuring out a place for all the speakers + receiver etc...

    How I Met Your Mother Season 3

    Happy Slapsgiving to all you Americans! (Us Canadians celebrated REAL Thanksgiving a while ago :) ) I have to admit, I figured the known slap would not be as good as the second slap, but I enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the post slap song :) I also love that the slaps are spanning years...

    What is the status on IT Crowd Season 1 - North America?

    Thanks Dave... I can't believe I missed it since I check your site every few days! That's really annoying though... nothing like being delayed for years in the hopes they can make a few more sales... what would be wrong with selling it to the people that want it now and then pushing it out...

    What is the status on IT Crowd Season 1 - North America?

    It had a release date of early September, 2007. I placed the order with Amazon but it had a late October delivery date, which got bumped to November 12, and now today it has gotten bumped to December 12th on my order.. but if I go to the Amazon page for the DVD it says they have none and have no...

    Cheesy 80's movies on DVD

    I'd kill for a copy of Up The Creek... it just grabbed me way back when... it had Tim Matheson and a bunch of other guys on a white water rafting trip with Higgins from Magnum PI in a great guest role as the dean of their school (the worst in the country) wanting to win something... ANYTHING! :)

    How I Met Your Mother season 2 thread

    I just watched season one, and my wife pointed out something to me that I'll ask those of you with a more critical eye. Do they ever say that "Older Ted" is the father of those kids? What if he is "Uncle Ted" telling a long ass story of how he met their mother, who might be Robin's sister...

    SNL Season 1 on 12/5/06 (and season sets in general)

    I'm in, and I'll be buying at least the first 25 seasons.... too many good ones in there not to... the last 7 years or so... not sure, grew tired of Horatio's stick very quickly and yet they just kept putting him in again and again ... if I ever see a "Rick" or "Carol" sketch I turn it off and...

    I can't keep up/understand specs, so need help...

    I don't think it's so much about the color, my understanding is that if the studios decide to turn on the ability of HD-DVD/Blu Ray discs to downgrade over any connection other than HDMI, it will require HDMI 1.3... in other words, even having a TV with a 1.2 connection won't stop the downgrading.

    I can't keep up/understand specs, so need help...

    Thanks Alon! I guess I wait until the spring at least then, because I don't trust the studios, and can't afford to rebuy TV's, so if I want to be sure I never have downconverted HD DVD's, I need to wait for HDMI 1.3. (If I'm understanding how that works... I really don't understand how it could...

    I can't keep up/understand specs, so need help...

    I've been holding off for quite a while to buy a HDTV because of a number of things that are "coming", and I need some help understanding if they are here now, moot, replaced... whatever. 1) I'm thinking LCD because my understanding is there would never ever be any burn in issues of any kind...

    South Park Season 10

    I don't know, maybe the fact that you've already made millions of posts over and over again letting us know you don't like it might mean WE GET IT and you could do the rest of humanity a favor and LET IT GO? Or is that too wishful thinking?

    It's official: BOTH Blu-ray and HD-DVD downrez component

    I can't see how this would work big picture. Theoretically, you would want every single copy of a movie to have a unique watermark so you could pinpoint down to the person who let the original copy out of the bag. Except that really doesn't do anything because noone would be involved in...

    Universal announces full rez over Component for HD-DVD

    Pete, is there something more substantial than that link that says this? All that link seems to say to me is the same thing, that Universal won't initially use downrez (and I say initially because like it or not, it's always an option for them, even if they say they will never use it)...

    SOPRANOS Season 6: Season Finally!!!.. Episode 12: "KAISHA"

    I could live with the series ending any way EXCEPT "status quo". Even though TV series are longer lived, I still want my beginning, middle, and end (although with TV you generally start in the middle and pick up the beginning as you go, especially in this series ;)

    The Good & Bad of DRM (Digital Rights Management) Technology on Future Video Formats

    And this is the ultimate problem. Deactivation may be debunked now, but guess what, a modification to your firmware can easily mean that all of a sudden it's a very real possibility a few years down the road. Now, that wouldn't be a problem if you had a high level of trust with the company...

    It's official: BOTH Blu-ray and HD-DVD downrez component

    I don't believe that, personally, because I think blue-ray would be quite fine as a format on it's own based on it's data storage capabilities, and if not blue-ray, then some other format, especially since it's being used for consoles as well. I will be buying a recordable blue-ray drive for...

    It's official: BOTH Blu-ray and HD-DVD downrez component

    You know, I realize we are talking about two different levels of importance, but I think of it as politicians. A president asks that a law be put into place that gives him dictatorial powers, but promises not to use it. And then we continue electing politicians who promise not to use it. But...

    Want more Night Court season sets? Then you'd better purchase the "TV Favorites"!

    Some of us have limited funds and can't buy every TV set that we want that is coming out right now, there's too darn many of them, and we still have to pay the bills. I haven't bought Night Court S1 yet, although it might be under the tree this year since it is on my list of things I'd like...

    Sony & Canadian Stargate fans...

    Update : Future Shop has no problems taking them back, they were pulling them from the shelves as I got there. I wouldn't be surprised if people at the Future Shop/Best Buy head office are regular readers of tvshowsondvd.com too :)

    Sony & Canadian Stargate fans...

    Gord, That's a good point, but Sony chose that replicator, and presumably is getting lower prices through a replicator that uses poor QC. Even if not, I'm sure Sony is passing on the costs of replacement to this replicator, who would happily pay it or risk losing the Sony business...

    Sony & Canadian Stargate fans...

    As if Sony did not have enough bad press, now they've messed up the Canadian Stargate:Atlantis disks in addition to not providing the full length threads episode in the SG-1 set. According to www.tvshowsondvd.com to get my disk fixed I need to get Sony to email me to let me send it at my cost...

    SNL 4/9/05

    Have to agree with most of the comments on the show (made it through weekend update before falling asleep from boredom). Even things that could be funny, like Jimmy Fallon dropping by the Weekend Update desk, just were flat and poorly written. The cardinal sketch, though, I found really...

    Fantasy Island,Love Boat..any news for those shows on DVD'S?

    I'd be buying both, I've been waiting for these, Fame, and Welcome Back Kotter to finish off my TV purchases (unless WKRP winds up coming out with it's original music).

    Stargate Atlantis pilot, will it be part of season one too?

    Thank you kindly then! Hope it doesn't backfire as a lot of people who don't realize it will be on the season set pay a premium for it.

    Stargate Atlantis pilot, will it be part of season one too?

    I just saw on tvshowsondvd.com that they have announced the pilot episode of Stargate: Atlantis as a standalone disk for a whopping $26! I didn't bother watching it because I figured it would come out on DVD and I'd just watch the series that way, but I don't want to shell out that kind of money...

    The Apprentice Season 2 thread

    Spoiler:What an obvious fix. Trump was definately gunning for Chris with this one... although he must have a mad-on for Jennifer since he says he would have fired her if he had brought her to the boardroom. Any guesses why? From what we've seen she seems to do pretty well, and based on the dog...

    At last! And while all three of them deserved to get the boot, personally, just from watching the show, I'm glad it was stacy because she just never shut up.
