    Will my glass/metal table sustain damage, if I leave it in the garage this winter?

    I have a fairly nice dining room table that I don't have a need for sitting in the garage currently. The base is made of a steel frame in a black finish and the top is just a 3/4" thick slab of glass. During the summer, I left everything in the garage thinking that the heat wouldn't be a...

    How are TV shows transmitted from the production company to a network?

    When Warner Bros. produces an episode of "Friends" for NBC, how does WB "give" that episode to NBC? Do they send it over a satellite link? Do they send a DVD or DAT? Taking it a step further, how does NBC distribute that episode to its affiliates? I would think via satellite. But does NBC...

    Cartoon DVDs: Will HDTV be any better?

    I'm a prolific DVD collector (about $5k/year) and I own seemingly everything. However, as HD-DVD/Blu-Ray gets closer (12-24 months), I'm starting to think about selling parts of my collection. The sci-fi ones are easy to let go. I'm not going to have time to watch STTNG S1-7 and B5 S1-5 again...

    I want to install two cable boxes in the same room (1 HDTV, 1 DTV). There is already a single jack installed there.
