This is driving me crazy but lately TV channels have been taking programs originally recorded in 16:9 and are distorting it to something like 2.39:1 so that there are black bars about 10% of the height of the screen on the top and on the bottom. And worse taking old 4:3 programming and...

Up until now Netflix has served my purpose for keeping track of what I have watched and what I have rated the stuff. However with their recent change to a dumbed-down thumbs up or down it is no longer acceptable for the purposes it once served. I find goodreads to be very useful for doing...

I'm looking for a source to watch this show. Something came up back when it originally aired and I don't think I ever watched this past a couple seasons. For ease of watching I was looking to stream it. But Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon don't have it available to stream. I can start up DVD for a...

I've had the XDS for years now. And every time I have a problem with it I keep thinking to myself maybe it is getting to that time where it needs to be replaced with an upgrade of some kind. I see roku has now come out with roku 4. I have hesitated on all previous models even the roku stick...

So lately I have been wanting more than what netflix offers for TV shows. I have quite a lot of shows on netflix I can and want to watch. However, there are a few shows I have season(s) to watch that are not available at this time to stream on netflix. Also I've heard that you can stream live TV...

A few years back me and a couple friends tossed around the idea of screen and projector over a flat panel TV. I don't remember much of the details of that but I think we came to the conclusion of projector and screen. I'm still using an old 27" tube TV bought I'm almost certain before flat panel...

I just moved to a new house and have my stuff setup in the unfinished basement. I plan to finish the basement in the spring or summer of 2013 if that is of any relevance. Anyways my last place there wasn't enough room for me to setup everything so my system has been in it's boxes for the last...

The idea occurred to me today, is it possible that TV shows on DVD are time compressed. I had heard about time compression years ago but never researched details about it. So I had thought it was only a very short reduction in time without removing content. But today I decided to do a little...

I'm watching this show on netflix instant watch. And based on the disc contents on netflix site it appears they have the older S'more DVD set. S'more's title for the set implies it is unedited yet accounting for the runtime of the TV special the average runtime for an episode would be about...

EDIT: Now that I think about it and I thought it wasn't possible or something so I didn't search before hand; I could but a cable that converts HDMI to compontent and just get one of the roku 2 series and not worry about it. As long as tech doesn't make HDMI obsolete in the next year or two...

I hope this is an appropriate place for this. I'm planning to get a DVD burner for my pc and with all the brands, speeds, OEM, and retail drives out there I find myself wondering what would be best to get. I currently have an ASUS CD-RW drive 52x24x52x and it has performed very well for me. My...

I got this DVD and opened it up to start watching. To my suprise the episodes are at 22:15 or less running times. Vol 1 was at 22:45 give or take at most 5 seconds. I never see anything said of the running times or if indeed the episodes are uncut. I had 2 episodes on VHS (FHE Cat # 23978) I...

I have a 7.1 system. Front, side, and rear speakers are cambridgesoundworks M80s. And the center channel is a MC500. The center is set on top of the TV so its aproximately 3'4" off the floor. I was wondering about setting the rest of the speakers to the same height. Currently they are setup...

What stories exactly are in this release? I'm a bit confused by the descriptions I have read of this DVD. I've compiled a list of what stories are on DVD so far for when I go to start buying them. I've been told there are some stories that may never make it to DVD due to loss of masters or...

I have a Kenwood KR-V7030 reciever, DP-R4440 5CD changer, KX-W6050 dual tape deck, 2x LSK-904 and 2x LSK-028 speakers. I want to find out what a fair price would be for them. I would either sell each part seperate or whole if one person wanted all of it. Hopefully its ok I ask this here.

I didn't see a thread on this one specifically so I thought I would start one. I completed watching all but the Its Punky Brewster cartoon episodes on the last disc. Its been so long since I seen the show back when it originally aired many of the episodes were like seeing them for the 1st time...

I currently own Resident Evil Deluxe Edition but have not gotten Resident Evil Apocalypse. What version of the 1st one is in the box? Deluxe or Special Edition? and aside from gaining the 2nd movie am I getting anything I won't be able to get it I just buy the special edition of the 2nd one?

I think I have finally come to a decision on the reciever I want. Pioneer VSX-1014TX-K. I origionally was considering Denon AVR-1905 but the addition of the THX select certification and MCACC have swayed me more towards the pioneer. Considering the pioneer is 110 watts per channel my origional...

I can get either one of these for about the same price and I am not sure which one is better. If anyone has anything they can point out to me either major or minor differences that would be great. I am currently comparing the feature lists but it appears that the list on pioneers site is not...

Well these are out now and i wanted to see if anyone had heard anything about them. I read UltimateDisney review of gargoyles and based on that I assume all uncut each episode runs at ~23 minutes. I also assume flintstones is good to go too. I haven't heard anything bad about it nor season...

I just got it but I haven't opened it yet. I haven't seen anything about it yet other than a few reviews and wanted to find out from those that have it, are the episodes complete? The only reason I ask is because of my past error in buying ALF and finding out after that the episodes were the...

I'm not sure the best way to go about it. I have a kenwood KR-V7030 (dinosaur in comparison to whats out today). With kenwood speakers LSK-904 and LSK-028 and they are just as old as the reciever. I also have a PC with built in audio 5.1 Realtek AC'97 with Altec Lansing 5.1 251. Each of which I...

I vaugely remember seeing this TV series way back when. This is the best one right? How about quality of the DVDs? Are they complete (non-syndicated)? I read on tvtome Jeremy Brett died and they decided not to film the rest of the stories, how many didn't get filmed? I own a copy of the complete...
