    LED Lamps to Replace Incandescent Bulbs - But When?

    Dimmable - maybe I'm all for LED but I need something compatible with the dimmer switches in my home. I keep reading about these dimmable LED models but I've been browsing alot of vendor brochures and there is a wide assortment of dimming techniques which means there is no guarantee your LED...

    Install Acoustic Panel or Dyrwall with insulation?

    Hi, I need some help so here is my scenario: I have some nasty echo (reverb?) that not only affects the sound quality from my sound system but also any conversation in general. This problem is compounded because of the laminate floor I installed (I regret taking out the carpet) which...

    Summit Wireless Technology Delivers Uncompromised Wireless HD Audio

    Thumbs down I really can't see this being practical or economical. I can only foresee limited adoption. If I understand correctly, audio signaling is via wireless but amplification is independent by a power source most likely being attached to an 120V outlet close to the speakers? At...

    Nintendo Wii Scores Netflix… But Why?

    Zip.ca had announced something back in June 2009 about an online streaming service for their members but as far as I know the service rollout is on hold. :confused:

    Nintendo Wii Scores Netflix… But Why?

    Previously Netflix has been limited to the U.S. Will this still be the same? Last time I checked Netflix (a long time ago) was not available in Canada or anywhere else. I have a Wii hooked up and it would be great because I've got two young kids and my local video store has a lousy...

    Blockbuster to Stream Movies with Samsung

    Does anybody know if this service will be exclusive to the US only? I know the Blockbuster On demand units were previously available to the US residents only. I hope that integrating this service with big brand TVs will mean they can expand this expand the service to Canada and elsewhere.

    Audyssey DSX 10.2 Surround Sound Overview

    With so many speakers, what would be the required for the ceiling for the "height" speakers? We're dealing with angles, so I'm assuming that the further your listening area is from the source than the ceiling needs to be higher but let's say for a distance of 10 ft. from a TV, any guess about...

    New 8k Projector to be Demoed

    wicked projector It sounds really nice but is there any source material capable of taking advantage of those specs? From what I understand, 1080p HD video format is pretty much the highest available commercial format available. I hope somehow this technology makes its way into my living...

    Did CNN Call PlayStation 3 A Sinking Ship?

    Price talks... IMHO, The last two posts hit it pretty much dead on, content and price point (low BD player price). Even if Sony doesn't have exclusivity on a lot of titles, it's not helping that some games are released first on Xbox 360 and then ported to PS3. Console specs don't...

    Copy protection hack applies to both HD-DVD and BluRay, AACS takes action

    My opinion has changed I used to be in favour of DRM until something happened in my household: kids. I have enough ruined DVDs that I no longer let my young ones touch the originals. Same goes for CDs. I don't buy many dvds but if it wasn't for the fact that hackers have come up with...

    Reform the Forum! Could it be better?

    On the right track... I think AH is doing a good job overall, i do think that tighter integration between the website and forum is a good thing. Navigation is decent already but I could see it being a challenge for new members. Keep up the good work.

    Anyone have a Sleep Number bed?

    feeling like you're sleeping in heaven.... We have a kingsdown mattress and I love it. My wife bought some kind of goose down feather bed (think of it as a pillow top) as well as a goose down blanket/duvet (not sure what the right terms are - pampering stuff is wife's dept.) I swear you...
