    Stand-by Mode on Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS510

    Recently, I have had an issue where, when I go to turn on my Sony FD Trinitron WEGA KV-30HS510 via the remote, it acts like it going to turn on, but then goes into "stand-by" mode. If I hit the power button on the remote one more time, it then comes on. I have tried: 1. Unplugging the set...

    It appears that Universal is finally going back and re-releasing some of their DVD-18 releases on single sided DVD's. I've found that you can now get the Ma and Pa Kettle movies and the Francis the Talking Mule movies in the higher quality format. Are there any of their other sets for which they...

    Woody Woodpecker

    I see a release is finally coming out of the original Woody Woodpecker theatrical shorts. What concerns me about it is that Universal is in charge. Does anyone know if this is going to be on Universal's dreaded DVD-18???

    Random 4:3 to 16x9 to 4:3

    I have, from time to time, experienced my television flipping from normal screen, while watching cable TV, to widescreen, and then back. This, as yet, has NEVER happened when watching a movie on DVD or watching a VHS tape. Is this the result of some type of signal coming in from the cable...
