RE: iron maiden rock in rio dvd R2 dts problem!!!

I have the disc also.

Couple of things worth noting, because of the way the dics has been mixed, the 3 guitars are designated to front, right and adrian in the middle. Steve and Bruce have been mixed through the 2 fronts it would seem. Bruce and Steve are low in the mix (esp bruce) .would suggest bringing centre speaker down to 1 or 2 and bring the rears down about half way.

Try that and see if it helps, if there is no bass whatsoever, get the disc back to the retail emporium from whence you bought it and demand an exchange.

UP THE F`KIN IRONS!!!

RE: family guy

RE: Who else is glad the Irish have lost?

Sorry if my comments might have offended you, perhaps i should make myself clear.

I dont think that all England supporters are troublemakers/scum, but there is a consistent trend with trouble making england supporters when they are away from home. If you need any evidence look at media reports from the last ten years. The people that cause the trouble are scum and there would appear to be a great number of troublemakers so draw your own conclusions.

My comments were in response to an accusation from another thread contributor who was trying to label the irish fans as troublemakers and this is simply ridiculous.

"People like you end up getting other people killed" -how?

I have stated facts -England trouble makers are more likely to get people killed while they are running amock through cities causing hassle - my comments are facts and are not designed to cause aggro.

Deal with it

RE: Who else is glad the Irish have lost?

You are entitled to your opinion as am i, England supperters cause trouble -Fact! - wanna dispute it or ignore it -thats ok with me. I AM NOT FRUSTRATED WITH IRELANDS POSITION -I AM PROUD.

You just keep on worrying about Beckams foot m8 cos this time tomorow you will be worrying no more as your team will be on their way home.

I am going to avoid getting into this my team is better than yours bullshit, but i will say this. I wanted to see both teams do well. I feel Ireland have played better then england SO FAR!.

They have showed more spirit and hunger than England and have done more than anyone expected. Of course the england side is going to be a more technical side- you hae a bigger population to choose players from and English football will always be more prestigious than Domestic Irish football.

I would like to see England win tomorrow as i dont share the same opinion as you in that they are a foreign team and deserve no interest.

As for the irish fans causing you trauma -- personally i think that is terrible but when compared to the behaviour of English fans over the last 10 years -nothing you say can take away from the fact that a great number of England supporters are scum and cant behave themselves
away from home.

I wish England luck tomorrow but feel the cokmments you have made are unjustified and border on ridiculous.

RE: Computers at Tesco

I decided to take a chance with time and bought their package for £699
3 months ago.

The reason i bought from them was simply for the hardware - i couldent build the same spec pc for the same money. As soon as i got it i took all their crap off, took xp off, formatted the drive, removed their recovery partition and i have had no problems whatsoever.

Machine is damn fast and build quality is also very good. I used to build pc`s and really cant fault it.

I knew all about their reputation but took a risk and so far it has paid off.

Just my tuppence worth

RE: Who else is glad the Irish have lost?

"I also think alot of people forget the ordeals that took place in the wake of our friendly defeat to them some years back. The Irish fans went around London rioting, showing they couldn`t give a **** about England & their supporters, but only getting one over on their superior rivals."

I would say you have some cheek accusing irish football fans of trouble.

England supporters have the worst reputation in the world for being assholes .Lets see how you behave when your less than average team get booted out by Brazil

Ireland have outplayed England in every match thus far. More spirit, more determination and less bullshit.

Cheeky bastard.





Wise up

RE: Who else is glad the Irish have lost?

I choose destruction!

RE: Who else is glad the Irish have lost?

Well the proof will be on Friday after England will have been slaughtered by Brazil.

Ireland have been a brilliant side during this world cup -played a lot of good football and have done a lot better than other sides with a similar population. Even after such a dissapointing defeat yesterday, not one fan was arrested for causing trouble.

We can all look forward to the down trodden englands supporters running amock after their team have been hammered- causing as much trouble as ever and ruining their own already poor reputations.

Personally i would have liked Ireland to have reached the quarters and I would also like to see England do well .

Would this thread have ever been created if England had been put out already?

I think not.

RE: First on-line review of Yamaha DSPAX630SE

Thats it, Im trading in my 620 for the 630 and buying a gamecube.

Steve

RE: is dts a lot better than ggood old dolby digital

There is no comparison. DTS is the king!.

If you need any convincing -go and watch the fast and furious in DD 5.1 and then watch it in DTS. It may be a s***e film, but it is worth buying for the DTS score.

This is pretty much the same with most discs with both DTS AND DD -you will find DTS the superior choice nearly every time. DD 5.1 is good, but too mush emphasis is put on the big impact sound, whereas with DTS you get real depth, crispness and impact where required.

Just my opinion

Steve

RE: Music recommendations required...

First off i recommend anything by iron maiden, other good stuff to check out is jimmy eat worlds latest album -good stuff indeed.

RE: Ferrari aren`t doing themselves ANY favours!!

I dont know why everyone is so suprised by ferraris decision yesterday.
I have been a f1 fan for 10 years and i have seen the FIA bow down to ferrari time and time again over the years.

The reason for this?

Ferrari make F1 alot of money, it is the biggest team in terms of fans and because it generates so much revenue anually, the powers that be dont want to rock the boat. Ecclestone is frequently asked before a race who he wants to see win-his answer... "I dont care as long as it is ferrari".

How many times have we seen ferrari getting away with things other teams are pernalised for.......

Silverstone..schumacher won in the pits
Jerez ..Schumacher tried to drive over villeneuve to win the championship
Irvines car in susuka..when his car was disqualifed for being outside the regulations
The list goes on....

Ferraris tactics reflect a team that is built around 1 driver and to a certain degree i can see the reasons for this but its not like they have anything to prove. They have won the last two championships and their car has been dominating f1 for the past year. The ferrari is the most reliable car on the grid and it has overall advantages compared to other team

Frank williams and Ron dennis are as passionate about the WDC but will always allow their drivers to race untill one team mate is mathematically
out of the race for the championship. Ferarri are only interested in revenue and dont want anyone elses name on the title but Schumachers.

Personally I hate Ferrari, I always have, not because of their drivers or their tactics but because they are under the impression that the rules do not apply to them and to a certain degree see themselves as untouchable due to the ass kissing they receive at the hands of the regulators in F1.

It is well overdue that ax Mosely and the rest of the beuracrats form a rule book, one where there is no room for interpretation and the rules are straight forward.

Formula one is about technology and racing..it shouldent be allowed to be associated with the bullshit that we all witnessed yesterday. I do feel Ferrari will look at themselves after yesterday and make ammends...but it is too late as any decision will be based on the fans reaction and not what they should have done morally. Rubens needs a to form a back bone and demand the right to race. Not even a two year contract is worth it..cos lets face it Rubens` contract is a contract to come second.

Dont be fooled by Schumachers bullshit yesterday.... he has no regrets, he was behind the wheel and did not have to take the win. The only reason we saw him acting like the gentleman yesterday is due to the booing and yelling he received.

Hopefully yesterdays farce will be the last of it, Formula one dosent need to be associated with race fixing and as far as i am concerned cheating.

RE: DUP DVD software

I have a fully registered version of this software too -- it creates the images no problem. When it goes to write it just sits there and does nothing. It recgonizes the writer but will not write.

Any ideas?

RE: Did I make a good or bad decision.

Know what you mean Pete

I am happy anyway -but as always the proof is in the puddin!

Should be here in a day or two so i will know then.

Did I make a good or bad decision.

I have bought alot of home cinema gear so far this year and have been recently looking for a good tv.

I asked the guy i buy from to keep his ears open for a good 32" philips or panasonic. When he called back he offered me a philips 5407 32" widescreen for £470.

Is this a good buy?

Cheers

Steve
