    I know there are plenty of distributures out there, but I want to know if anyone has used this outfit ... Bulb Solutions - The bulbs you need for less! .....? The reason I ask is because I have had this LCD Sony Grand Wega KF-50WE610 for about 2.5 years and the picture is not as bright as it...

    Hi 127 Lo 73 Av 105 I've only had my 622 for about a week now and it is in an enclosed cabinet with a glass door. I did remove the back of the cabinet for better ventilation. The unit is on a shelf by itself and has about 5" clearance above and 2" on each side.

    Opinions on the Best Satellite Internet Provider

    The installation went well today. They did mount the dish on a pole close to the back of the house. Doesn't look to bad, considering the size of the dish. The wife was at home when the installers arrived and said one of them was outside in pouring rain putting up the dish. They spent a little...

    Houston HD Locals

    I guess you need to have one of the new VIP receivers in order to view them in HD, cause my 942 doesn't. :( Another reason to upgrade.

    Houston HD Locals

    Recording to DVD from the 942

    Let's say that I may decide on a DVD recorder instead of utilizing my laptop. That way I will have a more permanent installation instead having to hookup the laptop everytime I want to record. Any suggestions on a quality recorder ...? I've always liked Denon products ... but would like to limit...

    Is Using Over Air Antennae for HD Worth it?

    I just recently installed an antenna for OTA channels and it works great. Go to titantv and type in your zip code ... then you'll see the channels available to you in your area. I would provide you with the link, but since I'm a new member I'm not allowed at this time.
