I WON! (i think)

[SamLBInj]

Check this out, American Express has a promotion going where you can get cars such as a Mercedes, plasma tv's, ect for only 5,000 points. you have to click this certain button on their website precisely at 2pm or 7pm...I just clicked it and it popped up the winning screen with the order sheet and my shipping info for a Marantz 50 Inch plasam tv and theator stereo system. It said I needed to put in my phone number in case they needed to contact me with a shipping problem. I put in the number and the screen just freezes and stays where it is. there is a phone number so I call and tell them what happened and they say they are having problems with the site. I print out and fax the page to them and they say I won but there not sure and have to check it out and will let me know in 48 hours http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif..Lets see what happens...to bad it wasnt the Benz

Sam ~ You probably need to type in your Visa number instead of the phone number....just kidding, let us know how it works out! ~ Pete

Be very careful: if they ask for anything more personal than your tel number I would guess that it's a scam in progress.

Good luck Sam! That is a cool TV. Now you'll have to get into HDTV. Once you've seen a football game or race in high def, you will never watch it any other way. Keep us posted.

Nice stuff. It doesn't sound to me like you need that plasma. I'll PM you my address. Just have it dropped shipped here. It will go nicely with my 65" widescreen, Dish DVR, Onkyo sound and Pronto remotes. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif

Does Dish have dvr HD yet? Nothing like recording in HD..I barter with a guy in the business so I get the top stuff for little more than a song.. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

They have the 921 and 942 DRV. Both are total crap. I have the 921 and it has more bugs than an old barn Charlie would find a stash of old Vettes in. I have to reboot it almost daily to keep it running.

I hear a lot of complaints about their compression causing degraded HD. I have not looked into it lately but Dish had more HD content when I researched it too. I do like the looks of the HD Tivo. Nice piece with great features!

Huge difference, like night and day. When he took my tv apart the lenses were full of sawdust from the factory, I was amazed how out of whack these things come. When he was done it was like seeing for the first time, almost like 3D. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif
