Hogan’s Heroes is amazing! One of the all-time greats. One show we tried recently was McMillan and Wife. Ugh, it does not translate into anything watchable today. They’re too, I dunno, luvvy-duvvy or something, and it feels too ’60s kooky, even though it’s a ‘70s show. I’m guessing we saw an...

I don’t login here much and just noticed the incomplete “post in new user forum”, so I thought I’d do that to satisfy a bit of OCD. So, howdy!

Ugh. If it’s not rubber masks, it’s useless.

Jack Webb’s Operation U.F.O! The bad rips from tape that are on YouTube are barely tolerable, but incomplete. His son said they tried to get the Paramount (or whoever) to at least put them on DVD, but they say no, not even demand.

Be sure to see him and Levon Helm in End of the Line. Totally under-appreciated film. Trains!

I wouldn't say that. It hurts by having all those extra pixels in data; data that fills up drives faster, that clogs the internet, that requires more processing power, etc. It's bad enough that more and more people are streaming every damn thing instead of buying/renting discs or watching via...

Man, why so high? I hope you have recliners or something that will be putting your head at the correct viewing angle, otherwise you're gonna have a stiff neck. Unless you get a stand that will tilt it down at your head, an LCD is most likely going to suck. I'd go with plasma, even if it weren't...

That's what I was afraid of. Too bad. Yes, the AirPort Express has a multi-purpose 1/8" jack rather than 2 separate jacks, so I'll just swap the analog in for the optical. If it had 2, I could still run digital for the main zone. Thanks for the reply.

I can't remember if I had this working since we upgraded from a Denon to the SR8002. Here's the scoop. We have some outdoor speakers that I just hooked back up after a long Winter. They're connected to the multi-speaker output for use as a 2nd zone. If I set that zone to play the FM tuner, I can...

I found the problem with the DVD being only yellow and blue; the Pr cable wasn't fully connected to the receiver. It looked like it was, but needed a little extra push. I was trying other combinations of hookups for everything today and noticed that DirecTV also looked that way. That's what made...

The iPod dock might be useful for us, but then probably not. OK, so I might keep the 3806 then. I'll see if a neighbor will let me borrow a DVD player to see if the problem is with our DVD player. We've thought about getting a new one, but might wait until one of the new formats wins out over...

I don't trust a lot of what they say either ("this TV does 1280x1280", "I could hear the difference these Monster power conditioners make", etc.). As far as doing homework, well, we're impulse buyers. At least for the Samsung we looked at it once, went home and read reviews, then bought it a few...

I can imagine. The skip forward (if you have the 30-second skip turned on) and backward bloops are a very pleasing part of the UI, as is the "you can't go further" timpani bong. TiVi perfected the UI and the feel and layout of the remote control.

Rant: Well, wouldn't it have been nice if they would've told me that at the store?! Idiots. When we first went to Circuit City many years ago, we were totally surprised at how knowledgeable the sales people were, after having so many bad experiences at Best Buy. These days though, CC is hiring...

We've been upgrading all our equipment lately. Samsung HP-R4252 plasma display, DirecTV HD DVR (looks just like the old Hughes, so I'm guessing it's also made by Hughes), and yesterday brought home a Denon AVR-3806. So far, 2 problems: 1) DVR -> HDMI -> receiver -> HDMI -> TV = no audio from...
