Fox offers yet another excellent DTS audio transfer for Predator. During the scenes witnessed from the eyes of the alien, the rear speakers are wonderfully utilized to hear the soldiers' barely comprehensible voices. The depth of the sound field in these scenes helps to heighten the suspense of the film. The crisp DTS sounds shine during several shootout scenes, especially when all the soldiers fire at the unseen jungle for several minutes. This disc also includes a well-done 5.1-channel Dolby Digital transfer, as well as a decent 2.0-channel Dolby Surround track. The 1.85:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer on this disc is surprisingly uneven and varied. During certain scenes, the events on the screen shine with brilliance and clarity, while other portions contain large amounts of grain that hinder the overall presentation of the film. Overall, the visuals are stunning and work well, but the intermittent poor moments keep it from being an excellent transfer. This disc contains no extra features except for a brief theatrical trailer, which is presented in a full-screen format that is around VHS quality. It's nice to see a preview that gives away very little about the plot of the film. Of course, at that time, Arnold Schwarzenegger's name was enough to draw hordes of fans to a picture. The menus on this disc are amateurish and poor; in fact, they rank with some of the worst on any recent DVD.
Not one of Leo's best movies, but still a great little mystery with a plot twist that will keep you guessing.

Unforgiven [DVD] [1992]
Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven, which brought him Oscars for both Best Picture and Best Director, comes to DVD with a fantastic 2.35:1 widescreen anamorphic transfer. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital 5.1, while a French soundtrack has been mixed in Dolby Digital Surround. English, Spanish, and French subtitles can be accessed. Sadly, the only supplemental materials are production notes. Considering this is a modern classic, one might hope that Warner Bros. and/or Eastwood might have offered more insight into its making. Still, the picture and sound are as good as one could hope for, making this a fine DVD for any collection.
This movie is a great modern spin on the Snow White story. Full of adventure. Definitely not a kids Snow White story.

Mohu - Leaf 30 Indoor HDTV Antenna
This multidirectional Mohu Leaf 30 MH-110583 indoor antenna is compatible with select HDTVs and enables 1080p output. The reversible, paintable design lets you customize the look of the antenna to complement your décor.
Bought this antenna for a little TV in the garage. This little antenna gets just as many channels as my full size Terk antenna mounted in my attic. Absolutely the best antenna for this price.

BISSELL - CrossWave All-in-One Multi-Surface Cleaner - White/Titanium/Cha Cha Lime
Tackle the biggest messes with this Bissell Crosswave all-in-one multi-surface cleaner. A dual-action roller scrubs and picks up debris at the same time to reduce the number of passes you need to make, and the convenient fingertip controls let you switch functions quickly and easily. This Bissell Crosswave all-in-one multi-surface cleaner has swivel steering for increased control.
This is a great machine for the price. Does exactly what it is advertised. Vacuums and wet mops at the same time. However, don't but it expecting to replace your full size carpet cleaner. This is great for every week cleaning, but will still need to use our full size carpet cleaner for deep cleaning. Does leave the carpet and flooring fresh looking and smelling and picks up surface dirt. Helps by not making the deep cleaning easier.

Roku - Streaming Stick - Purple/Black
Roku Streaming Stick: Get a hub of entertainment in one convenient, compact device. Access more than 2,000 channels and cast from Netflix, YouTube and personal media directly from your smartphone or tablet to your TV.
This is a great little streamer. Perfect for hiding behind the TV hanging on the wall. No wires showing. Uses very little power. Only down sides are (1) the interface is a little slow when switching between apps, (2) the shows buffer from time to time in Netflix, and (3) the remote has to "reconnect" every once and a while.

multiple tv's
Is it possible to hook up two TV's to one box?
Only if you use an HDMI splitter. Both would see the same content
