    Microsoft's Video Marketplace

    Wouldn't this stimey their HD-DVD drive sales? I guess it's gonna depend on the content available for download which makes you wonder just how good the download content will be. But still, I hope it turns out to be as good as it sounds.

    SuperBowl XLI

    Things are really getting heated over in the Pit due to the upcoming elections so I thought I'd come here for some easy and fun debate like who's going to the SuperBowl this year. On the surface it would be easy to say Indy vs. Chicago but I think Indy is hanging on by a thread, they'll be...

    Dish CSR's really have gone downhill

    I worked as a CSR for a computer software and hardware reseller. Our 'jobs' were to assists the customers with Order Status. But the sales manager used us as more as interference blockers between the customers and the sales reps once their order was signed. I know not all companies work that...

    Dish CSR's really have gone downhill

    not enough competition maybe? It seems to me the big guys in any marketplace (retail, auto, TV, OIL ) tend to collude behind the scenes with each other in order to control their markets leading to no competition between themselves. No competition leads to being able to cut corners, i.e. hiring...

    Sammy upconverter vs. HD-DVD

    Sammy upconverter vs. HD-DVD, which is better? Ok, I have a Samsung DVD-HD931 that can upconvert to 720p and 1080i. My TV is a Samsung HLN5065WX/XAA. (1280 x 720). Watching DVDs look great. From all the information overload that I've been trying to sort through am I correct to say that...

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    How long will this take? By the time the lawyers finish all their jabbering, delays, and legalese junk, it will be years down the road before this gets resolved. And new technology may make all this moot. Im not a lawyer so I could be wrong and thats my 2 red cents.

    DIRECTV Getting Sued over HD Lite

    Bravo Peter! This forum should come up with some ideas to help this guy. A proverbial rock for David to slay Goliath! Maybe start an online petition to show Peter isn't alone in wanting True HD.:up
