RE: Hack for PROLINE DVD150HT

thanks mrip,
gonna get one tomorrow, i was just a bit worried it might not sound as good as i was hoping for the money but you`ve put my mind at rest. i did`nt know it had a built in radio as well, thats a bonus.
I asked comet if they could demonstrate one for me but got the usual " we have`nt got the remote and one`s not set up "
so they just expect you to buy it and when youre not happy with it they say you can`t get a refund because you`ve used it and now its second hand.
sorry to moan
thanks very much for your help

DIXONS:thanks for nothing

On a recent trip to dixons i spotted a Grundig dvd system complete with avi 5.1 amp and full surround speakers(4 sats 1 centre and sub all for the incredible price of £99.98.This was on thursday evening.On the friday morning i rang dixons(BEXLEYHEATH BRANCH)at 9.00 am and asked them to put one a side for me as i would collect it at lunch time.No problem said the guy on the end of the phone.Lunch time came and just before i left to collect the player i thought i`d better give them a ring to make sure that they had`nt sold it already."Year its still here "said the guy on the phone,"but i`ve got to tell you that its gone up in price to £169.00.I questioned the guy about the price and the fact that that i had rung first thing that morning to reserve it to which he pointed out that the price the night before was at 50% off but the price today was only 20% off and also that when i rang in the morning that i did`nt quote the price as being £99.98 and the fact that they could sell their goods at whatever price they wanted and that they urge people to buy things the same day as prices can go up or down daily.I think the way that dixons treat thier customers is pretty low ,needless to say that they did,nt get my custom after all and wont do in the future.When you ring to reserve something over the phone you would expect that the staff would have the decentcy to inform you of any price hikes there and then or honour the fact that you was`nt told and give the item to you at the lower price.So thanks for nothing DIXONS keep treating your customers like s*** and hopefully you`ll go out of buisiness in the not too distant future.I`m not usally the type of person to feel compelled enough to slag off a company on a forum but this really got my back up.Sorry.

RE: Which recent film has let you down the most?

I think i`ve gotta agree that The mummy2 was complete cack.Too much running around and not enough of the Mummy(and definatley not enough of Rachael weiss).On the other hand if you want to see a brilliant and sometimes violent british film then check out Love Honour and Obey with the lead character played by Ray (Who`s the Daddy)winston.I nearly p***ed myself laughing throughout the film.Worst film recently:Swordfish::
total pants.

more information about rowa dvd280

The rowa dvd machines that were sold by asda have started to be replaced by another machine that looks exactly like the rowa but in black instead of silver.The new name for them is pacific p dvd1000.They still sell them for the same price as the rowa(£99.94)but i wonder how this effects the warranty(3yrs)whether if your rowa breaks you,ll get this one as a replacement.Incidently on inspection of the back of the unit it looks like the non pioneer version (no service port)so if you were looking for a hackable player then it might be possible to exchange units.I think steve hoyle suggested that the non pioneer versions might be a minoto g1./wharfdale.I have the pioneer based version and am pleased with it as i think the ability to back up your discs onto tape is more useful than region free.
