I have both Sirius and HD in my car. I almost exclusively listen to Sirius do to it being commercial free. HD still has commercials and in my case if I stray out of the coverage area it tends to lock up the display on my head unit and I have to power it off and back on again for it to clear...

46" Toshiba 1080i rear projection

I bought The Invasion last night at BB full sticker of 34.95 {shudder} why is it that everyone else is showing this title as a Feb 24th release??

Yeah, I bought one of the HDDVD players from CC last week. I won't return it even though HDDVD will probably lose the fight. I look at it like this. I have friends who have blown more money than I spent on this player at the gentlemen clubs. So I don't feel so bad, like others have said it does...

Our local CC don't even have any Blu-Ray players either, so that's really no big surprise. Our local CC is terrible. Every time I go in to buy something I can stand in one spot waiting for a salesman for a good three hours before someone acknowledges that I'm there. If Best Buy wasn't a total...

I have nothing against the studios stamping movies for Blue only Sony itself

The whole blue ray thing goes back to Sony so I won't support it. I'm pretty sure that I've seen a few movies in the past that said something to the effect of Sony Pictures or something like that. In fact here is a link Sony Pictures

I don't like Sony, ever since the whole rootkit fiasco I have boycotted everything Sony. I will not watch any movie produced by Sony pictures or listen to any music that was produced by Sony or BMG. They just went a little too far with the whole DRM thing and I have boycotted them. I know the...

I just purchased HD-A3 last night for this very reason. It's a win win situation. Get the 7 Free movies plus have an affordable upconverting DVD player at the same time. If they lose who cares. I will still never own a BD player EVER! Period! I will just buy SD DVD's till something better comes...

I didn't opt for the Media Center DVR, just simply because I didn't see the need to spend an extra 8 bucks a month just so I can have slide shows on my TV. I'm sure there are other features, but none that I really honestly care about.

I like the skip feature. You can also fast forward if you want to, it's all in personal preference. The skip is a lot faster and smoother than it is on Dish though I will hand it to them on that. Yeah once they laid the fiber in my back yard, I still had to wait about 9 months before I could...

With fios tv you don't need the ota, it includes HD locals already. But yes your figures look correct. I'm saving about 20 - 25 bucks a month as well, and I don't subscribe to any movie channels. I have the new program guide and as you see from my previous posts there are some bugs. Overall...

You wouldn't by chance know if verizon is aware of the problem would you? Or if there is plans on fixing the problem? It really is quite annoying.

Ok, I brought up my system info and here is what I have: Release: 1.0.3 Build: 03.32 Platform ID: QIP-6416 P2 I couldn't find anything that said type

I was seeing a decreasing picture quality in my CRT RPTV as well. Instead of going out and blowing 2 grand on a new tv I called in a tech and he recalibrated it for 250 bucks and looks good as the day I bought it.
