I think you should be asking, “Will 3D improve poor storytelling?”

I would have been more shocked if it had won best picture. Keep in mind this is the Oscars, and not the People’s choice awards. The AMPAS gave it wins in the catagories it deserved, although you might argue whether or not it deserved mixing over The Hurt Locker. Like Nathan said, the movie plot was hardly original…call it Pocohantas…
Posted on: $175 Series 3 Tivo: Deal or No Deal?
Stephen Hopkins (03/10, 04:25 PM)

If you’re a current Tivo owner, you can pre-order the Premiere for $240 as special “upgrade pricing”. That’s the real deal in my book.
That said, $170 is a solid deal for an S3, with the 160gb Tivo HD only sporadically hitting that price point, and that’s without the OLED display and “Glow” remote. Anything’s better than a cable-company DVR.

“Like most people, you were shocked Avatar did not win” the Best Picture Oscar? Are you kidding me? I’m sorry, but half of the films running for the award were bettter than Avatar, regardless of the 3D. I concede that Avatar did one thing really well, perhaps better than any movie has ever done—provide the audience with a sense of…
Posted on: Review: AV123 ELT525 Speaker Package
Stephen Hopkins (03/10, 02:54 PM)

The alleged actions of Mark L. Schifter, owner of AV123, are unfortunate. The situation brings in to question how long AV123 will continue to be able to ship orders and provide customer support. As such, I can’t endorse or recommend our readers purchase from them, regardless of the performance of their products.

We need to find a dealer in the Fresno, Ca area that can help us fix a problem with an old M&S Model 350A system or replace it with a new M&S Linear sytem but have been unsuccessful in finding one. Can you help in any way?

The ELT’s are excellent speakers. It’s a shame what MLS (owner of av123) has gotten himself into.

I assume this is Sony’s answer to Microsoft’s Zune HD Video streaming service on the Xbox 360? That is a tough target to achieve, as Zune HD looks very good in my experience. It will be purely speculation at this point as to which service will produce higher quality video until we receive word on codecs and bitrates used for…
Posted on: Onkyo Offers THX-Certified, 3D-Ready Receiver
Scion Racer (03/10, 12:18 AM)

Looks like Onkyo is chasing Pioneer’s strategy of offering features that have never been available at these price points.
$600 for THX Select2 Plus certification? Yes and thank you.

Can anyone please confirm if the VSX-1020-K supports 1080p/24 pass-through? The article makes it seem like only the 1120-K supports 1080p/24. This would force me to go for the 1120-K.
