    Why do some blue-ray movies doesn't play on blue ray machine?

    2 years is now a VERY long time in electronics. Things change rapidly and companies create more shoddy products. The solution is the same. Go the web site of your blu-ray manufacturer and check if there are any firmware upgrades for your model.

    My blueray player will not conect to my wireless router. ?

    On your router, check if there is any blocking from your firewall. From any PC, try to "ping" the blu-ray player. There is a lot of troubleshooting you can do before you get a new router.

    Hooking up dvd player?

    Most DVD players do have component video out (R/G/B) and since your TV has only component video input, that' s the only way you can connect them together. So, get some extra cables. If your DVD player has no RGB (component out), it must be really low-end. Then you need to buy an RF modulator...

    Switching channels on Dish Network?

    It is impossible for a DVR to cash 15 min of video in EVERY POSSIBLE channel. It only has 2 tuners!! AFTER you switch to a channel, then yes, it buffers the last 30 min, so you can go back.

    Isn't it ironic that a VCR is still necessary, while a DVD player is obsolete?

    DVRs are a pain to use and VCRs are not? You must be living in another world. A Computer with a TV tuner card can work as a DVR as well - so your logic makes no sense. Unless you have old VCR tapes, the VCR is useless.

    Can a DivX compatible DVD player understand MP4 video file?

    .mp4 usually implies using the h.264 codec, so in that case no. However, there are .mp4 files that use MPEG-4, part 2, which is what Divx is using. AVI is also a container, that also support MPEG-4, part 2, but not all AVI files use it. So, unless you try out, you will never know...

    OK daft question , can DVD's be used anywhere , or are they country or region...

    There are two problems a) Video standards- usually NTSC (North America) vs PAL/SECAM (rest of the world) b) Region coding So, unless in NZ, you have a Region-free, universal DVD player, I wouldn't buy a DVD from the US .

    Depends. You still need to call Verizon and register it. If the box belongs to Verizon (stolen, never paid their bills, etc.), they may never enable it.

    Is there such thing as a home theater system that does not need a dvd or blue ray?

    You want an AV Receiver. You can connect to it anything you want. You need to buy your own speakers.

    Can recordable DVDs play on Blue Ray player?

    Make sure you record in DVD-Video format. I would be very surprised if a BD player did not support recordables, but you never know...; check the specs.

    Has anyone ever received a good answer as to why someone believes in Christ?

    Religion is NOT Math, where everything is about the proof. It is not about believing in "Christ" (or Allah or Budha) but the values they represent: respect for life, modesty, and helping others. These are values you can have regardless of whether you are atheist or religious.
