    Forum URL Changing

    For years I have had a Chrome desktop shortcut pointed to the TV Show forum. Never had a problem. Recently I purchased a new computer and when creating the shortcut, the URL is being changed from https://www.hometheaterforum.com/community/forums/tv-shows.40/ to...

    AGT Sound Issues

    Not sure how many here watch this show, but my wife and I have always found it entertaining. I'm wondering tho, does anybody have sound issues when watching? The trouble is the center channel. I have to turn it up almost 9db for it to sound decent, then the commercial comes on and blasts you out...

    Hell's Kitchen Question

    I am not sure how many of you still watch this show. It has really become a parody of itself. It is good for a laugh. I was wondering if anyone notices during the ending when he is announcing the loser for the week, the flashing lines at the top of the screen. It is only during this last scene...

    HD in Hotels

    Over the past few years, most of the hotels/motels have installed wide screen TV's. How come they don't use a HD feed, but use a horribly stretched/squeezed SD picture that has no resemblance to reality? The menu controls are disabled, so you can't adjust it to OAR, so you have to sit there and...

    NFL OverRuns

    I just read that the NFL has decided to change the start times of it's late games to 4:25 pm EST so as not to interfere with the end to the early games. They are doing this because they changed the overtime rules and the games will run longer now. This does not bode well for the CBS Sunday...

    Food Network HD

    Anyone notice that Food Network HD is now mirroring the SD channel in stretch-o-vision? Alton Brown looks really creepy. I suppose it is better than watching the same shows over and over again which is the way they had it. I can't understand why they can't put HD in HD and air the SD filmed...

    Help with New Sub

    Have decided to try building a sub for my system and am looking for some recomendations. This sub will be used for Home Theater/ HDTV only. The only music we would listen to with this system is the music in the actual broadcast/dvd. The sub is primarily needed for special effects I guess. We...

    How do you tell if a Sub is good?

    I have recently upgraded my HT system with a new amp and speakers. The only one left is the sub, but I'm not sure what I got. I purchased this sub off of Ubid.com 4 or 5 years ago and never gave it much thought. It is a 10 inch solidly built down firing sub. It was originally part of a whole HT...

    HDTV Sound Levels

    After reading the Super Bowl thread I thought I would ask how folks handle the HDTV sound levels. I'm a HDTV noob and just don't understand the difference in volume that occurs, especially between the broadcast show and commercials. You'll be watching a show and you adjust the volume to a...

    JBL E50 Orientation

    Just ordered a pair of E50's and had a question about orienataion. The JBL web site lists them as Horizontal/vertical. Does this mean they can be put either way? The stands I have will work with them vertical, but are not big enough for horizontal. If they have to be horizontal for mirror...

    The Casino - Ongoing thread

    I'm surprised there were no comments on this latest Mark Burnett production that was on Fox last night. I was really looking forward to it and was very disappointed. Was hoping it would be like The Restaurant which I enjoyed. This was too contrived and forced. I'll give them the benefit of the...

    Vegas 12/15

    Somehow the clock got screwed up on my VCR and I missed the last 10 minutes of this from last night. It cut off just as the loan shark went "all in" I assume it all came out all right, but can anyone fill in the details. Thanks! Mark

    Nfl on Fox

    Is it just me or does anybody else find the graphics on the Fox NFL broadcasts EXTREMELY annoying this year. First off there is a big banner across the top of the screen instead of a tiny box, much like the NASCAR races. (Which I also hate).Then, every time something in this banner changes, it...

    Fame

    Did anyone watch this last night? Kind of an American Idol ripoff, but it did have some talented people. Not only do they have to sing, but be able to dance too. It was narrowed down to 24 last night and now each week 6 of the final 24 will compete and 3 will be allowed to continue to the...

    Tonights NYPD

    According to the tv schedule in the Chicago Tribune this morning, it appears that ABC's lineup tonight is going to be goofy. It shows NYPD starting about 15 minutes earlier. Can anyone confirm this? Glad I saw this as I always tape it and I would have missed the beginning if true. Mark
