Time to Change Monster... Ted, I think your lawyers need an education in mathematics (though they would probably be out of a job if their calculations were honest). The business you're loosing because of these types of law-suits being in the news is far greater than anything financial or...

Mailing Info Can somebody please post the mailing address of Monster Transmission so that those that want to support them in their defense both materially and sympathetically can do so? Both email and a regular mailing address would be great. Thanks!

As Seen On TV? I thought there was supposed to be a decimal point in that price so that it was $19.95 and that if you order now, you'll get a second pair free!!! But wait... we're not done yet, order now and we'll include this handy MP3 player as well, don't delay!!

Thanks!! I'll check it out, that may be a helpful solution!

You're right, it isn't his fault and I'm not trying to make it sound like its the rep's fault because it isn't. I just don't see the point of having tech support that doesn't actuall offer "tech support"... if I need someone to read the same manual that I have, there are many other alternatives...

Well, I know about that... a long time ago I worked as tech support for an ISP, but back then, even though we worked to establish a baseline for the customer's operations (i.e. is the computer plugged in and on, phone cable plugged in, etc.), we had more tools at our disposal to diagnose issues...

It's the 505 XVT Plasma... I talked to a guy from Vizio already and he went through his own manual (which was exactly like mine) and tried having me go through the same stuff I went through myself. Honestly, why do they bother with "tech support" people if all they do is the most freakin'...

I'm not sure if this discussion belongs here or not, but I got an Emotiva 2-channel amp to power a couple of built-in speakers on either side of my wife's new TV. I was under the impression that if the TV's internal speakers were shut off that the volume control on the TV would adjust the...

Booster Yes, I certainly will try doing that. My goal is to get the cable coming out of the box, split it in two immediately, and then drive both ends to the two signal boosters that each provide a 4-way split for a total of 8 boosted connections. I'll disconnect the outside splitter...

Signal strength Yes, sorry about the confusion... I meant DTV simply as an acronym for Digital TV -- didn't know that was reserved for OTA signals only. Guys at Verizon say it shouldn't be a problem to pick up the channels if the TV has a tuner. So I think it may be a signal strength problem...

For anybody with FIOS TV... Got a new TV with a built in digital tuner. The "auto" scan on the TV just picks up two very weak analog channels and absolutely no "digital" channels. Even before I found this out, I ordered a couple of signal boosters in anticipation of this type of problem. The...

Movies work on Apple TV Any MPEG movies (and a host of other formats) will work on AppleTV... plenty of people do what you're doing... all you do is "drag and drop" them into iTunes and you're set to go! How is that not easy?:confused::confused::confused:

Jump on the Bandwagon I find it funny how everyone seems to jump on the bandwagon when something becomes popular to do without taking much into consideration. I think Apple is getting attacked (whether in jest or seriously) by just about everybody that has any kind of online presence because...

Yes, you did mention it as the 10th reason in your latest article (albeit with a question mark -- an indication that it may or may not have the impact you thought it would), so my bad on that! I guess I was looking at it with more emphasis and possibly the real reason the formats aren't taking...

Clint, Clint, Clint! Clint, gotta say that I love reading your articles (even if I don't always agree with them, I think they're well written) and look forward to seeing new ones all the time. I can agree with you partially on this HD format not taking with the general public. I think the...

One other advantage I don't know if it was mentioned explicitly, but I think that the Pioneer is the only mid-priced receiver to completely upconvert all signals directly to HDMI. Some other amps offer upconversion, but there are limits on what signals can be upconverted and whether they need...

Digital Amps = No Heat Rotel has a couple of digital amps that produce an impressive amount of power and little to no heat. They also take up considerably less space and, unlike regular amplifiers are much more efficient in producing the power that is consumed (hence little to no heat). It...

DIY Option? This is just a suggestion, but there are speaker places that sell DIY kits where literally everything is provided. You don't even need to do any cutting, just simple assembly. You get a powerful, great-looking sub that is a good size and price. I'll send you a PM with some info. :D

Projection is better Yes, there are a couple of reasons if they have not already been mentioned. For plasma, weight would definitely be a factor. I'm not sure, but I believe that most 42" Plasmas weight 60 to 70 lbs. That would mean that a 100" Plasma display may weigh as much as 5 to 6...

Lol Hey, woah Gene, let's not get carried away (re: going to CNET for reviews)!! :D If you can, please post Yamaha's response to your request... I would be very interested in hearing what they have to say about it. Thanks!
