    Does the newest LCD or PLASMA HDTV last longer than 4 years?

    It kinda depends on the kind of games you're playing. Neither are particularly good for fast action, pixel perfect games. Still too much lag.

    St. Elsewhere

    I'm a bit surprised that this isn't already on here, but I just did a search and it came up empty so... Does anyone know what happend to 'St. Elsewhere' on DVD? I saw a couple of Australian companies on eBay offering season one on DVD, so I did a check with some local suppliers and it was on...

    Lost, Desperate Housewives on abc.com

    I use Linux, and in the early years I managed to save a video stream by accident. Unfortunately I don't know how and I've never been able to replicate the feat otherwise I'd be unging you all to make the switch.

    zoomed, stretched or 4:3 on widescreen

    I got a TV with progressive zoom, so I just make the picture as big as I can without losing any of it. I'm totally sad. I sometimes get out of the chair and stand almost resting on the screen to make sure I haven't left a line of image behind... Great for playing old video games on though:)

    "The Quiet Earth" arrives on dvd!

    This is weird, 'Quiet Earth' was one of the first DVDs I bought. It was one of the reasons I even bought a DVD player in the first place. It was All Region, PAL, and 4:3. Api's voice was his own ("He tills loys..."), the whole thing was just as I remembered from its TV broadcasts, and it had a...

    High Definition DVD: What is Holding You Back?

    Having only just bought a new TV (Well, last year anyway...) I won't be buying a new one any time soon, so why buy a HD player? By the time I get a new HD TV there may well be a new format out, if not one of the two existing formats may be demonstrably better/cheaper, and the price of software...

    Region Free Dvd Player--legal?

    Over here (GB) several 'Import laserdisc' shops got raided some years ago and their stock confiscated, so they began acting as agents and only selling imports that a customer had ordered. Apparently this meant that technically the customer was now breaking the law, but no one prosecuted anyone...

    The Beiderbecke Affair

    That actually annoyed me a little. It ruined one of the best jokes in the series, when the secret service man was sitting in his office up on the top floor in the middle of the night, and he wearly shoves another tape into the machine a presses 'Play', and we flash back to a long shot of the...

    The Beiderbecke Affair

    Wow. I never knew I could be so helpful... In the IMDB's defence (Maybe...) I've just realised that the 'Tapes' DVD from the Region 2 boxset I mentioned up there ^^^^ is edited into one long episode rather than the mini-series that I saw all those years ago, and also unlike 'Affair' and...

    Testy Area 51

    Just a theory. Youse guys ain't really testing anything, are you? You just came in to chat. My driving instructor was the same.

    Testy Area 51

    So if this is the test area, why do I have to post 15 other messages before I can test anything worth testing? Darft I calls it...

    The Beiderbecke Affair

    I notice there have been requests for this programme and 'The Beiderbecke Connection' on the TVprogramsonDVD site. Can someone explain why there are no requests for 'The Beiderbecke Tapes', which is the 2nd episode of the trilogy? Was it never shown in the States or something? If anyone's...
