    Stupid question about my Philips BDP5012/F7

    I want to order a Blu-Ray from Amazon.uk for which the listing claims it's "Region Free," but the small print says this is true only if my Blu-Ray player "supports 50i." I am about as technically disoriented as it is possible to be, so I have very little clue what this means, and no amount of...

    DirecTV / Dish Network question

    And possibly a stupid question at that... I'm currently a cable-TV subscriber and am considering switching to either DirecTV or Dish network. I recently moved to New Jersey, having lived for the last seventeen years in Southern California, where it never rains and the weather's usually...

    New BBC "Sherlock" - available for sale?

    I post this here in the hope that somebody will be able to shine a little light my way. I have been completely unable to find this title on Blu-Ray available for sale anywhere; no B&M stores seem to carry it, and e-tailers from Borders to Amazon to Best Buy to Barnes & Noble have it listed as...

    New to HDTV - aspect ratio help?

    Just got a Panasonic 42" plasma, and I seem to be running into an issue here: watching some TV shows, it looks like the picture fills up the screen from top to bottom but bleeds off the sides - and while watching Divx files on my DVD player, sometimes the picture fits horizontally but appears a...

    Good place for used DVDs in NYC?

    Hi all, Not sure if there's someplace better to ask about this, but I was wondering if anybody could point me to a good location to buy and/or sell used DVDs in New York City (ideally in Manhattan)? Thanks in advance!

    Hot Fuzz R2/R1 differences?

    Just discovered that while R2's DVD of Hot Fuzz is two discs, we here in Region 1 are only getting one disc. Does anybody know what features are included on the Region 2 disc that the R1 is missing?

    Region 1 LIFE ON MARS...?

    Just wondered if anyone knew of any plans to release the excellent BBC series LIFE ON MARS in Region 1? There's a rather wonderful R2 release available, but given the crappy value of the dollar against the pound just now, I'd rather hold off on getting the Region 2 release if there *is* one...

    PlanetDVD gone?

    I used to order from Link Removed all the time when I first got my multi-region player. Now I can't bring the site up - are they out of business? And if so, can anybody recommend me a good place to order from Region 4 (I'm in the U.S.)?

    Slings and Arrows not WS?

    Just got Season One of this little-known show from Netflix and was dismayed that although it's listed as being anamorphic widescreen, the picture displays on my TV as stretched out, tall and thin. I've never had this happen with any other widescreen discs before - has anyone else had this problem?

    Help with Panasonic DMR-E85H

    This is sort of a complex question - I hope someone can help me. I've had my DMR-E85H for about eight months, and recently I've had a problem dubbing from the HD onto DVD-R. When using certain brands of blank DVD-R (Fuji and TDK), trying to record anything at all onto the disc (even just writing...
