    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    I've been in the land of 5.1 for about 11 years now and the jump up to 9.2 would be absolutely incredible. In this current stage of life I don't think I'd be able to experience for another ten plus years from now, but the thought of all of those extra channels and extra sub is already frying my...

    YAY for me! Denon AVR-1709 for $299!

    I just got my Iron Man Blu-Ray Screener the other night (I'll be reviewing Blu-Rays for popcultureshock.com starting over the next few weeks) and calibrated the receiver last night... and sampled the scene where Iron Man vs. the Fighter Jets... NICE! TruHD is very active and am very glad to have...

    YAY for me! Denon AVR-1709 for $299!

    I wound up ordering the Onkyo 606 and pick it up in a few hours. As said before, this thing is one of the better values around, and for someone who's not looking for a class jump in receiver (outside of the ability to do HD Audio) I think this will suit me perfect and doesn't break the bank. I'd...

    YAY for me! Denon AVR-1709 for $299!

    Thanks, Ed for the response. That's a bit of a letdown, since I was hoping to stick under $500...and thanks for the two recommendations. I'm letdown with Yamaha's at that price point and above and only have two HDMI inputs. It's a shame because I currently have a Yamaha and would have liked to...

    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    So I got my PS3 a few weeks ago and love it, and just got HD Cable this weekend. I'm looking at upgrading my receiver next to one that will process HD audio with HDMI cables... is there anything I should make sure the receiver can do/major features to look for? I'm mostly looking for receivers...

    YAY for me! Denon AVR-1709 for $299!

    Really? I was thinking of getting this one myself. I thought it did do the new HD audio formats... which ones doesn't it do? I have a PS3 for my Blu-Ray player so is this a bad match for me?

    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    Yeah, I know. It may be some time though before I get a new receiver. Hoping to get one maybe next year. We'll see. But for now, I got my PS3 and I'll make due with my current setup. Thanks for the tip on the bistream.

    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    Got my PS3 80GB and I'm all set. No problem with fan noise and just starting to scrape the surface of what this thing can do... Got my HDMI doing the video and the audio going through Optical, since my receiver has no HDMI capabilities... Question about the BD/DVD Audio Output formats for...

    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    So I've made the plunge on buying a PS3 and it's coming in a week or so, I've got my HDMI cables, my Optical cables but from what I gather, I'm limited on my audio if I don't have a receiver with HDMI hook-ups, correct? So a new receiver would have to be purchased in order to take advantage of...

    NFL Combine Coverage

    Totally agree. With Stern off on vacation, the draft coming up, this is the #2 reason why I have Sirius. Moving the Chains is still the best because I learn a lot of the front office mentality from Pat Kirwin. You will not find better coverage than this. And as for why the off season is...

    Howard and Co on Vacation AGAIN

    What? You're nuts. The football player analogy is crazy. Hell even football players get 3-4 months off a year. Most sports/entertainers get 3-4 months off. And even Broadway performers don't perform every single day of the year. They have extendned breaks and days that they don't perform...

    Howard and Co on Vacation AGAIN

    Amazing... people still bitch and complain about a guy who's worked 30+ years and a guy earns his vacation. If you worked for 30+ years you people would want to have accumulated lots of vacation, too wouldn't you? You'd be lying if you said no. It was explained all the way since his signing with...

    Sirius exceeds expectations for subscriber growth for 2Q

    Bottom line is that for the same price or eventually when they do raise prices, it will still be a complete package for Sirius with Sports, Entertainment, and justifiable good radio stations. (I'm happy with them) There's still nothing at XM that is strong enough to get my money over Sirius...

    Artie Roast

    Listening to the Replay this morning... Sal killed. Yucko was consistently funny throughout. Recovered great from Carver Roast. Lampinelli was solid as well. Quinn and DePaulo were epic. And Shuli always seems to have a solid couple of liners. Mariann just sucks. She is a c*#$. Telling...

    Sirius Needs A Beatles Station !!!

    I'd like to see perhaps channels devoted to great bands on a rotation, or on a daily basis. But 24/7? I do like that if I'm in a Stones/Elvis/Buffet mood, there's always something on, but the only one out of those I like is the Stones. Beatles are great, but another 24/7 channel is something I...

    Music channels - concerts?

    Yeah, the newsletter tells you when the concerts are. They usually have a 30 minute concert acoustic sets on Ch. 26 Left of Sessions I think. Good stuff to be had there.

    Names something you discovered on Sirius

    People always gripe about how much Sirius has paid for Stern but I agree with you. 2 channels of programming, albeit one is devoted to his show and replays but he's the only person really out there promoting Sirius, and trying to reach people. The PB channel is pretty good. The Night show's...

    Deal for a free old Starmate Replay for subscribers looking for 2nd unit

    It's over. May 1st was the last day for it. Real short, but great offer if you wanted a second receiver. I'm sure more deals will come with the new wave of receivers.

    XM- A Quickly Sinking ship

    I think it really depends on what station you listen to. Some shows are driven by the DJ, but I listen to three electronic stations and a few rock stations on Sirius and I barely even know they exist. But I wouldn't make a generalization of Sirius on it. I don't mind some DJ talk, it's nice to...

    NFL Radio Draft Coverage

    Pat Kirwan is the best. He did like 8+ hours of coverage yesterday. ANd now today's the real meat of the draft. This is where people who really know what they're talking about can communicate who these kids are. Love NFL Radio!!!

    Deal for a free old Starmate Replay for subscribers looking for 2nd unit

    Not sure. I just bought the Starmate Replay for the wife and it was the package with both the car and home kit. And they basically took $75 off of it. So it came out to be $40, then add s/h + tax and it came out to $48.62 for the hardware, and then once it comes in, we'll sign up for a family...

    XM- A Quickly Sinking ship

    Baseball is great on radio. But THere's more drama with basketball. Especially in the 4th quarter. I'm yelling at my Sirius receiver with each possession. Plus, baseball is a LONG season and I'd rather watch a game in person. I can still pull in Cleveland Indians games here in Detroit with the...

    Anyone listen to these shows?

    Nice, thanks Jeff. I wish we could get more activity on this forum going. There's some great programming going on at 100 and 101, but there's some great things all around the service. There's got to be more satisfied subscribers out there. Let's hear from you all!

    Anyone listen to these shows?

    I can't sample everything I want to so I wanted to hear from some of you if you've ever listened to the following. They sound real good but I'm so consumed with some other stations I always forget when these are on. So tell me what you think of the following shows. On Left of Center 26...

    Names something you discovered on Sirius

    Okay, we all got here for one reason or another. For many it's Stern, while others the NFL. Discuss one show or station that you discovered while flipping around. I'll start it off. I think Marky Ramone's show on Sirius Disorder 24 It's described as: Marky Ramone's Punk Rock...

    XM- A Quickly Sinking ship

    Funny. I ask myself, "When is he going to stop me from laughing?" Guy's doing the best show he's done since I've been listening (15+ years) and he makes me feel like $13 is a steal a month.
