Ever get around to Peaky Blinders?

I really enjoyed Peaky Blinders. Supposed to be loosly based on true stuff. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2442560/?ref_=nv_sr_1

Onkyo has made it good for me. They sent me another shipping box and I sent the receiver. It was repaired and returned in about a week. I removed the cover and found that they replaced either the faulty chip, or the entire HDMI board, not sure which. I took advantage of the holiday today and put...

I agree. Even when this unit was working properly, I really disliked the network features. I just use a Blu-ray player for that stuff.

I have an extra older Onkyo that has been flawless for about ten years. Now that this situation has popped up, I'm glad that I held on to it so I can keep my rig running while the newer on is in the shop (hopefully).

Well, I never received my shipping box so I kept checking the status of my repair order on their website. My order was listed there along with all my info, but the status was just blank. So, after a 42 minute phone call they told me that the order had been "input" but was never "processed" for...

Barney, thanks for this info. I have an 809 with this problem. I've read alot about it on the net and learned how to make it work temporarily by warming up the "DTS" chip with a hair dryer, but you have to to it with every power up, and sometimes even when you just switch sources. I haven't...

I'm sure this has been seen by most before, but it is still pretty neat to me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNDtHdG5mVk

A guy I work with just put his Smith&Wesson AR-15 with ten 30rnd magazines up for sale in the state-wide newspaper for $5,000. JEEZ! :doh:

LOL! Yes, I'm in. I can help with shipping cost. Now where is that phone call, a**hole? :angry-tappingfoot:

Looks like Warner Brothers are planning to make a prequel to The Shining. http://www.examiner.com/article/the-shi ... ng-forward I've also heard that Stephen King is planning to release a book that follows the little boy "Danny" into adulthood. Could be a couple of good stories if done well...

Wow, I've been watching Tal for years and never noticed that guitar. :o

Open to the attic. It's not really a box or enclosure, but just a barrier to keep the pink fiberglass away from the drivers.

Well, I finally got to the task. After getting home Friday, I got into the attic and went to work. Had the father-in-law downstairs using that Audacity® program to generate tones at different frequencies and I started the hunt. After lots of prodding, prying, squeezing and such, I found a...

I absolutely love them for music. Couldn't be happier. Once I got the can lights secured in the ceiling everything was fine for music. With strong movie LFE however, there are issues. They get going so strongly that it sets up distracting vibrations and rattles in the structure of the...
