    Wireless video screen

    I have a D-Link Media server, that for the most part works OK now that I found 3rd party software to run on the PC end. Now I would like to make the user end a little more friendly. Currently, the unit displays on my TV, which is ok for movies, but a waste to play music. I'd like to have a...

    Tiered Internet and Corporate Greed...VERY IMPORTANT

    This is very important, so please take a moment to read this, because this could change the face of the Internet as we know it in America. Here's a summary, for those not in the know about how access works. You pay your ISP each month for access. A website pays a hosting fee each month to...

    How would you bring people back to theatres?

    I think everyone has already said it before, but poor environment coupled with crappy movies makes the theater experience suck. I believe if we ever see simultaneous releases, then that will signal the end of the theater as we know it.

    Blockbuster Video

    We gave up on renting movies, and I buy one or two each Tuesday at Wal Mart or Best Buy, since they are onsale for the first week, usually $14.

    My home theater thus far

    Best Buy has those sabers for $99, and Spencers had them as well this weekend when I was at the mall.

    Harmony 880 Remote Control Review

    I had the same charging cradle issue, and I was sent a new cradle at no cost. Unless you consider the $25 phone bill I got from sitting on hold for 40 minutes waiting to talk to tech support after they didn't answer my emails to the support address. Otherwise, I totally agree with everything...

    AV Rack Component Placement

    So I don't have to worry about EMI from the conditioner messing with the receiver, or anything like that? My plan is to put all of the DVD units at the top for easy loading, with the conditioner at the bottom and the receiver on it's own shelf to keep it cool.

    AV Rack Component Placement

    I have been assembling my meager HT for the past month or so, and I am at a point where my equipment rack is full, and I am not sure if I have the gear placed correctly as not to have one component interfere with another. My rack has four shelves, with enough room for roughly two compenents...

    hidden sub

    Would putting the sub behind a projection TV cause any problems, such as vibration or distortion? I just bought that MiniVee, and it would fit behind my TV.

    MiniVee setup

    I just bought a Velodyne MiniVee for an amazing (I think) $300 brand new. Seemed like a good deal at the local Good Guys, who are going out of business and selling everything at 40-60% off. Anyway, I replaced a 6 year old Energy 8" powered unit with this Velodyne unit, based solely on the...

    Do you have a home security system?

    I have a wired Brinks system, three American Bulldogs, and an assortment of firearms, along with full replacement value insurance on the place. Costs a little more, but after an arson in a townhouse I lived in a few years ago, I learned that depreciation sucks when your stuff is ruined and...

    Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

    Got they new charging base in the mail today. Looks like they made the contacts on the base unit a little smaller, and possibly taller. The remote works like a champ now.

    Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

    Well, I got my phone bill after sitting on hold for 40 minutes, there's a nice $25 charge. Ugh. Did I mention it's in Ontario?

    Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

    I got the same email as the previous post, asking for my mailing information. I may be having the battery compartment issues, too, since removing and replacing the battery allowed the remote the charge. Kinda sucks, because overall I like the remote.

    Logitech Harmony 880 Remote

    I bought the 880 from Best Buy a month ago, and it worked fine, but would not charge all the time, as the previous member stated. The contacts barely touch, and the result has been a dead remote on more than one occasion. Sad, for a $250 remote that becomes a massive paper weight when dead...

    The Best Speaker Setup $400 Can Buy

    I would take the $400 and get an alarm to be honest with you.

    After much reading and research

    One more thing...anyone here own a popcorn machine for their theater? We are looking at them on eBay, but there are so many different models. Is a 4oz unit big enough? Thanks.

    After much reading and research

    Space is at a premium in our living room. There is another 8 feet or so of room to the right (behind the camera basically), which is the entry to the house. We are making that area the "lobby" of the theater, with the popcorn machine, a bench, and a few other decorations. We replaced the...

    Torque

    As a motorcycle rider, this movie offended me...lol. Seriously, one of the worst movies ever made.

    Gladiator's latest release <r. crowe>

    I am really tired of edition after edition of these DVDs. I will buy a movie once, and if something better comes out, it had better be significantly better to make me spend more of my $$$ on a rehash of the same film with more deleted scenes or commentary. Sort of reminds me of the Lucas...
