Consumer Electronics - 4 December 2007

I was going to meet with a friend on Saturday around 7pm and I called him about 5 times. Each time, the phone was ringing maybe twice and the automated message would come out.

I was finally able to call him after a couple of hours, and he said his phone did NOT ring and the number didn't appear as missed calls either. He was assuming maybe it didn't work because it was during the peak hours people use their phones a lot.

Is this possible to happen? If so, what if I leave either a voice or text message? In this case, would it go though successfully?

We have a flat panel Vizio tv. We just bought the mount for the wall, but it will still stick out several inches. We want to buy vertical speakers we can mount next to it on the wall to sort of mask the awkwardness of it sticking out and plus, just to get better sound. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recently purchased a HD DVD player which is a Toshiba HD-A2 DVD Player. The price of the HD DVD player is a significant amount more than an DVD Upconverter. I was told that the HD DVD player can upconvert regular DVDs to HD quality. What am I missing out on? It sounds like the two units do the same but have dramatic price differences.

What is best to go with? Would I get the same quality and spend much less by just purchasing an upconverter rather than an HD DVD player?

most D-VHS VCRS (yeah, you know the kind--VHS that can record a near-full-quality HD [normally digital] video as well digital SD video) I've heard of do NOT have HDMI outputs (or inputs) but DO have FireWire/i.LINK outputs (and inputs)? What's the point of making a consumer or prosumer HD VCR without a way to connect it to the TV digitally (though you can go through the analog HD connections--the RCA component connectors)?


Hey, will you come back periodically and look at my responses to your answers (as added detail), please?


Thanks, and happy Christmas,
Mike

Is there a way to hijack a TV channel to display a certain feed instead of a blank channel on my TV? What I mean is, let's say channel 28 isn't used. Could I tap into that. How do hotels do it with their special hotel channel?

For the playstation 3, I have a question. In a previous question someone replied that soon rumble would becoming back. Would you just have to buy a new controller that has rumble or buy a whole new playstion 3? And can you get upgrades on the PS3 that you own? Also does the PS3 allow you to get and play gears of war, halo 3?
