I just wanted to know if anyone knew how T-Mobile worked. Do they go by your credit or are they like Sprint and u just have to pay the deposit fee to get service with them?

My parents bought a betamax VCR back in the day and it proved to be the wrong choice - as a kid I could never find anywhere that rented betamax videos!

Hi,

I am planning to buy a 42" Panasonic plasma ED monitor and wall mount it over the fireplace. The question that I have is where should/would I place/hook up/mount the rest of the equipment, i.e. DVD player/ Cable Box/ VCR, etc... There is no mantel over the fireplace. So the TV will be mounted right above the fireplace, but I am not sure where how would the rest of the equipment be placed/ hooked up?

Over the summer we will be finishing our basement (at least partially) and would like to move our Home Theater setup (5.1 Surround Sound + Buying a new HDTV) to the finished room in the basement.

For cosmetic purposes, we would like to run our Surround Sound Speaker wires through the walls. I was wondering what kind of Speaker Wire I should buy? I've been reading online and I see a lot of recommendation for 16-guage, some for 14-guage/2, I really don't know what those numbers mean (except for the lower the number the thicker the wire) and I don't know what size wire is best for in-wall wiring.

Also, does Brand Name for speaker wire matter? If so, what brand names could you recommend? Is THX Certification something to aim for?

We don't really have the best quality sound system, but definitely want to leave room/capability (at least in terms of wiring) for upgraded speakers sometime in the future.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!!

My daughter gave me her JVC TV without the remote. I think the reason I can't program it to the cable TV box is because I can't get the TV on channel 3. Does anyone know how I can get the TV to channel 3? When I press the channel button on the TV, I only get channel 4, 5,7, 41, 47 & 68. Is there a way I can program it without the original TV remote?

Kay, so I don't understand this. Will somebody clear this up for me?

This is what I understand so far.
If you have two activated verizon phones' bills come to one adress, you could get up to 5 additional lines to the same adress, for only $9.99 for each phone every month. Right?

Well, this is where I don't understand..
For those additional lines, can you only call the first two lines, or can you call any phone number? Also, can you get a text messaging plan for the additonal lines? I'm so confused! Can somebody please clear this up for me?
